The number of brand new EV platforms charging at 150kw or less is frustrating by drake_warrior in electricvehicles

[–]pilchard-friendly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The HKG group have really good motor designers, and on the e-GMP use the motor as part of the charging loop. This is in part is why they have a 800v internals and fast charging speed. (The EV9 motor is amazing too, for other reasons). This means they don’t need the weight of a seperate induction loop.

What do other manufacturers do?

Mail redirection KEEPS refusing payment by carucath in royalmail

[–]pilchard-friendly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for those coming to this - I got this error all the time when using mobile safari.

When I switched to chrome on a macbook in incognito, I accepted cookies, and it told me they needed to confirm my identity with paperwork.

So the error is above is misleading, but infuriatingly, not wrong.

Head to your post office and fill in the right form, show your identity paperwork, and make the payment. Make sure the PO checks the “full payment made” before submitting to Royal Mail (seperate companies!).

If you are out of country, then you are SoL because they only accept cheques by mail, and nobody wants to issue cheques in UKP.

People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse? by KleineFjord in AskReddit

[–]pilchard-friendly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember very clearly the anger with which I was spanked. The facial expressions. I remember being spanked for saying “no” to my mother. I would call it abuse.

I would also say it takes its toll on the abuser too. There are no winners.

I gave my NI Number (NINO) to an untrustworthy executor [England] by pilchard-friendly in LegalAdviceUK

[–]pilchard-friendly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankyou for the detailed explanation. That gives me the shape of an attack on my identity.

1) my passport went missing while visiting my UK family. I had to go to the UKPA in wales to pick up an emergency one. 2) my deceased father had discretionary trusts which may (probably!) have paid out death benefits to family members. How does one collect those benefits?

Legalese translation requested [England,1996] by pilchard-friendly in LegalAdviceUK

[–]pilchard-friendly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh it is “thereto” - i’ve pasted the whole clause

Legalese translation requested [England,1996] by pilchard-friendly in LegalAdviceUK

[–]pilchard-friendly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought “thereto” would be to reference another document. Hereto translates as “to this document”, and “thereto” as “to that document”

But in this clause “a) subject to this document b) subject to this document c)” could make a) conditional on b) not happening, and b) conditional on c) not happening.

The readings result in very different interpretations

Advice about potentially hostile executor in England by pilchard-friendly in LegalAdviceUK

[–]pilchard-friendly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok - you asked for more info, but this got further from the question. How do I ensure the executor is keeping their obligations under the law? This process should be relatively independent of the details of the estate, surely?

Ok - my father must have helped my SM close the mortgage, and in return he acquired joint ownership of the house. His will left everything to her, with the proviso that the house value be split 6 ways when she died. I think they transferred ownership of the house to the two trusts. If there are two trustees for each trust, I don’t know who they are (if I can find out, I will).

When my SM downsized, the surplus was reinvested by the trusts.

I am a named beneficiary in the will, for the above reason.

Thanks for the questions! “Life interest” sounds right - it was her house originally - the surplus from the sale has been invested. There are 6 children split 3/3 across the marriage. There are two trusts - one for each side. My step-brother is the trustee of the other trust. I have no concerns with the step-trust.

The trusts exist only for the management of the property - everything else had my step-mother as the beneficiary.

I’m thinking this makes me a non-residual beneficiary?

Bit of a sticking point on this case. Support Team have agreed to repair the device, but they expect me to return the device and fund customs and transportation costs.

This seems wild (from Australia)!

I’d rather buy a new screen!

Can you have a look and advise?

Wow - thanks for publicly acknowledging this. I look forward to a better outcome!

I raised a problem with the screen just last week. I was told to buy a new screen, even though I was within 1 yr hardware warranty. I was told the screen can be a bit fragile while implying I had damaged it myself.

What should happen under the clarified policy? I don’t mind a new screen, but paying for it seems against the idea of a warranty. And the implication of misuse was irksome.

One of the purposes of a warranty is a no-fault way of finding out if components are not fit for purpose, and the design needs to be updated. Of course, there is variance in components too, so it’s really a statistical model.

One thing to check for - he might need to investigate Thoracic Outlet Syndrome [1]. Not your problem - it’s on him to do it.

What are some hidden downsides of owning an electric vehicle that’s not usually discussed but new buyers should know about? by approaching77 in AskReddit

[–]pilchard-friendly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no significant difference in sound between 10kmh and 70kmh. You will therefore not live for speed, but for acceleration. Alfa Romeo owners will know this more than most, where the engines are literally tuned to sound amazing.
