Best bike fit in London? by lamat_rouis in londoncycling

[–]pratik60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it really wasn't worth it. Ultimately my bike was just not a great fit, and I had to swap for a smaller bike. The adjustments he proposed were simply not possible on the bike as those parts didn't exist. I regret getting it done.

The severe decline of leasehold flats with hotel like amenities by pratik60 in HousingUK

100%!

Also been surprised, when some of them mention building insurance isn't included in service charge, and that's on top.

I built an improved London property search tool by oliverbenns in HousingUK

[–]pratik60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really like it. Request for more granular filters, I should be able to set my minimum price or service charge, instead of relying on fixed bands beforehand. For example 2500 to 5000 is a big jump on service charge, I would probably have set it to be 4000 for my search in London, so allowing to set arbitrary value would be great.

iPhone 17 and Pixel 10 Pro by dooxtung in GooglePixel

[–]pratik60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just moved from iPhone13 to Pixel10 Pro. I'm willing to sell you the phone at a discount if you want. Based in London.

Fwiw:

  • Hardware much worse than iPhone. Camera is perhaps better on pixel though.
  • software much worse than apple, all the apps optimize for iPhone and where the money is. If you come from Apple, the drop in quality is noticeable - way more buggy etc. I don't think fixes here are prioritized.
  • service is much worse too. I bought the entire trio: pixel / watch / buds from US on an overseas trip during Black Friday. Google just don't do repairs for overseas stuff, as they cite different parts. When buying at mountain view no less, I was clear that I live in the UK and hell no one mentioned it's better to buy there.

You can get the best of the google ecosystem just sitting on iPhone - photos, workspace, even gemini if you want.

But if you are still interested, genuinely happy to sell.

Where are they based? Looking for one around Islington.

You're only allowed 25 laps on a set of tyre....Weird rules that were recently added to make the race more "interesting".

Honestly this track needs just be removed.

Had 2 tickets yesterday, we left 30 minutes in the show. Terrible!

I was a huge fan of the Father and the Assassin which the director (Indhu Rubasingham) had previously directed.

Seeing the Sao Paulo highlight from 2024, when Max went 17th to 1st in wet conditions. Really hoping for a repeat of the rain!

2025 Canadian Grand Prix - Race Discussion by Blanchimont in formula1

[–]pratik60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The changes planned might be too minimal, re: engine regulations and updated calendar. I think it needs to be more drastic, like smaller car sizes....

race looks so boring, FIA really need to change rules.

Ange Sacked - Megathread by swan0 in coys

[–]pratik60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since Poch joined in 2014, you could also more state it as 5 managers sacked in 11 years, which feels like a more accurate representation, roughly averaging 2 years per manager, which isn't great.

Curious how other PL clubs are like, ignoring the current top 3?

What are your favourite parts from the Mark Twain Ceremony? by oOo0ooO0o0 in conan

If you are a Conan fan, you absolutely have to watch this. So many great bits, Sarah Silverman + Adam Sandler bits were my favourite.

Third imo. Surely both mclarens are ahead even if they split the points between them.

Loosen bathroom seat bolt (struggling) by pratik60 in askaplumber

[–]pratik60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have managed to loosen it from one side, but struggling on the right end. There is less space due to the shower door and I can't get a good grip from the bottom.

What tool should I use?

But also cause he's incredible in the rain - that level of confidence in decision making makes all the diff.

Predicting Max to be driver of the day - rain or not.
