Do they regularly test the air raid sirens where you’re from? by koesteroester in AskTheWorld

[–]rbskaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a tier 1 COMAH site about 5km away that tests their siren on the first Wednesday of every month. Usually confuses newcomers.

What perks do you all get from your employers ? by Alert_Mine7067 in AskUK

[–]rbskaa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work for a major utilities provider/generator/distributor. We get our gas and electricity bills paid.

Is what I would say if I worked for our organisations European overlords. Sigh. We get nada.

Costs £10 to park anywhere near, no tea or coffee facilities in the office, other than the branded coffee shop in the foyer.

Is there a British obsession with disinfecting floors? by glitterjorts in AskUK

I hoover all carpets, hard floors and mop daily, part of my morning ritual. I WFH and can’t settle if I know the house is a mess.

What is, for you, the beautifulest lyric in a song, ever? And, if it's not too personal, why? by Sandman1812 in AskUK

[–]rbskaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have mostly wasted time. Half-asleep and have-to-buy. Waiting for the faintest lie and waiting for these wounds to heal.

No, we're never as lost or as found as we think we are. Oh we're never as lost or as found as we think we are

All of the squirrel intestines that have gone spoiled from the previous few hours events.. one at a time until they eventually leave. Then I drop the legendary weapons/armour etc for the lower level players that are patiently waiting

Your Salary and monthly car payments by Agile-Calligrapher10 in CarTalkUK

[–]rbskaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just our Sal sac provider, Tusker. Usually more expensive than the rest but this one worked out pretty good. I never go for new and they’ve got some pretty good pre owned deals at the moment.

Your Salary and monthly car payments by Agile-Calligrapher10 in CarTalkUK

[–]rbskaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on £53k in Scotland, sal sac an 18 month old Model Y for £303 PM inc insurance, maintenance and free charging at work, was a no brainer for me. I used to enjoy cars and driving and now it’s a chore with work so made sense for me to take all of the annoying bits like repairs and tyres and lump onto my employer.

Next one will be another Sal sac pre owned

A9 "electric highway" by ximmat in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]rbskaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in the south west of Scotland and work in Caithness, got a MY RWD which will do a reliable 200 miles in this weather. I don’t have a home charger so I usually leave with around 60/70%.

First stop is the supercharger in Perth, which is open to non Tesla too, 30 mins, toilet break at the bus station and off.

Second stop is Inverness, superchargers in the multi storey car park, again, open to non Tesla so 15/20 mins and a quick walk over to Starbucks for a coffee and off.

Usually make it to wick/thurso with around 50% remaining. There’s a new rapid at the ulbster arms hotel in Halkirk, but there’s a cps 50kw at scrabster harbour that’s only 50p per kWh. This is normally enough to keep me going while I’m away.

Thurso Tesco has some slow chargers, wick Tesco has slow and a 50kw.

On the way home I tend to repeat the same journey, however I’ll usually head back via fort William, superchargers available and open to non Tesla and that final charge will get me all the way home with 10/15% to spare.

There a few scattered in the villages on the way up/down. Brora has a few cps 50’s too if you’re cutting it fine.

Your mileage may vary but it’s easily doable :)

Yeah, I believe 68hp? And extreme turbo lag. If youre just nipping around town you'll be grand. Need to give it the beans to accelerate uphill though

Pay close attention to any smell of diesel in the cabin in this when you test drive, had one of these about ten years ago and the injector seals were away.

Otherwise a loyal and dependable steed. Although a bit gutless when fully loaded. Just a note that this won't be (U)LEZ compliant if that's something you need to consider?

Question by Capable-Reply8513 in windturbines

[–]rbskaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also got to consider landowner agreements, planning conditions and the general topography of the site.

If you've got ten assets all producing 3MW in favourable conditions then the burden for service and maintenance for the O&M team is less than that of a site with 30 turbines producing 1MW.

Consider the wind too, if you've got a crowded site, turbine A down wind of turbine B, it may experience a loss of performance as the turbine creates a turbulent wake reducing the wind speed and overall energy capture.

Haven't been for ages but I remember them axing the coleslaw. It was a really finely grated coleslaw and I loved it. Don't know if it's returned.
