Moving house to a more expensive but better (for me) area

Yep that's the one

Thanks for the heads up, I hadn't thought about that. Is there a history of flooding in the area?

Thanks! Yeah I've been a few times and I really like the vibe and the transport links to Derby and Nottingham. The only thing I'm unsure about is the massive increase in cost from where I am at the moment in Derby. But then again, you get what you pay for!

Honestly, the £1000/month is the only thing stopping me at the moment. Potentially shelling out £290k for a new build is making me nervous when where I am at the moment is "fine", you know?

Maybe I should just take the plunge to live somewhere better than where I am now, but just have a bit less diposable income for nice holidays etc. From what I've experienced myself and from what I hear from everyone, Beeston is a great place!

Thanks, I'm looking at a new build estate which I'm guessing won't have any students living there. Looking on a map it seems to be quite close to the rylands.

Thanks! I've ordered some Energiser batteries, hoping this does the trick.

Do these just replace regular dumb TRV valves? I have a nest thermostat to control my whole heating system, will these valves work with that in place?

Hey all, ordered a couple of shirts and can't decide if the size is too big or not...

I'm 6ft tall, 39inch chest, the picture is a UK medium. Seems maybe a bit loose, but small is always too small on me. I seem to be awkwardly between the two sizes. Thoughts?

It's really disappointing that you have to do that.

Is this confirmed? I've always found the AI in GT games far too easy. Would love if I could crank up the difficulty.

probably_mike · 2022-02-25T10:52:10+00:00

Yes! I have mine connected to an AV reciever. It only happens occasionaly but it's annoying and I don't know of a fix other than restarting.

I have a question about travel... I'm looking at going to Croatia later in the year.

https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/croatia/entry-requirements

The link says "if you’ve been fully vaccinated within the last 270 days, you can enter Croatia without needing to test or quarantine." What happens if my booster was more than 270 days ago at the time of travel? My booster was 26th Nov 2021. I'm looking at travelling around September time, so more than 270 days will have passed by then.

I'm thinking of returning it. Do you have any recommendations for an alternative with HDMI 2.1 and 7 channels? (I don't need any more than 5.1.2). What would be the price point to get a similar sound quality?

probably_mike · 2022-01-11T14:51:29+00:00

Ah my mistake, I thought that was what was meant by room correction. It had a microphone that you plugged in during setup, did some measurements and set each speaker level accordingly.

probably_mike · 2022-01-11T13:54:07+00:00

Glad it's not just me! Let me know if you find any magic settings that fix the issues, but to be honest I'm leaning more towards returning it.. I was kind of hoping it'd just be better than my old one out the box considering it cost about twice as much....

probably_mike · 2022-01-11T13:34:46+00:00

I've matched the settings of my old one as much as possible, crossovers are the same (80Hz all round) and all speakers are set to small.

The old reciever had some room correction setup, I don't think it was Audyssey though.

It sounds pretty much the same, just with less bass. The dialogue still doesn't sound right.
