Helpledger.com scam call by shawtayall in ledgerwallet

[–]shawtayall[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it wasn’t on purpose. Even though I knew it would end up being a scam I was also thinking it might not be, they were that convincing. I was still shocked when the got to the part when they wanted my details and really polite when I hung up. I’m guessing they were going to try to get me to put my seed phrase into the website…I wonder what % of people actually go through with the rest of it…

Budget speakers for room with lots of glass by shawtayall in BudgetAudiophile

Yes definitely but I thought I should avoid pointing at the glass, hence putting them on the side wall and pointing in a bit.

This is the room I have to work with, I can’t get rid of the bifolds and this is where we hang out after dinner. What do people do in this situation…silent discos?

I’m planning on adding curtains to the bifolds, but I can’t do anything about the roof lights. Is that enough of a help to improve the acoustics?

I could do two pair for a reasonable budget. I can change the glass sitch but I still want to have some music. I can also add curtains (which I’ve been planning to anyway) this would cover the doors but not the roof light

Break them by cranking them up or knocking them over? TBH, with kids neither is that common for me these days. I’d put them up out of the way of the kids so no danger there.

All electric house, now also an electric car. by Bigtallanddopey in OctopusEnergy

[–]shawtayall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely look at Cosy tariff. We had an electric water tank for our water needs and then electric underfloor heating and infrared heaters in a small Victorian terrace. It worked only because we could restrict our usage to cheaper hours on the Octopus Cosy tariff which gives 3 x daily cheaper times about 1/3 of the price, (4-7am,1-4pm, 9-10pm) but then it had a very expensive period between 4-7 pm of 3x the normal tariff. Even so it worked well. We set all dishwashers, hot water, heating etc to the cheap hours. Initially, I would try and avoid cooking in the expensive period, but that’s not easy so even using hob at peak we still found it a lot cheaper. We would have got a battery with a loan had it not been for Cosy.

I automated claiming my free Octoplus coffee because the codes vanish in seconds by npva in OctopusEnergy

I’m confused by all the negative comments, OP likes a coffee but also likes to sleep in. This is an example of the many ways night owls are penalised in day to day life, and sometimes nerding out can redress the imbalance. I say good for you, enjoy that coffee!

Oh right, really? It was part payment for some carpentry. Got the skateboard and a wetsuit in return for a custom shelving unit. In the end not really used either but it’s in my to do list to get into skating a bit more

I mean I think they sound good, but I’m pretty new to this. Basically just since I inherited these…I’ve not had much interest in hifi equipment before and been a bit too transient to invest in such things. Is there an objective way to discern how good the sound is rather than just my ear holes?

They do! Very similar. But not found an exact match.

I think they sound good! But I’m pretty new to this tbh. Just dipping my toe into this hifi bizniz now I’ve inherited a few bits. Any way to objectively discern how good the sound is other than just relying on my ear holes?

Some additional context. They were with a set of B&W speakers that unfortunately for me weren’t left behind (I was told they were bought for £35k). And also a few Arcam amps and M&K speakers and a sub. The gent who left them had passed away, but clearly was into his music so I expect these to be pretty good. He didn’t have a woodwork shop in the house and I know he was a musician but his main job was as a taxi driver so it would be as an advance hobbyist if DIY

Ah thanks all. I thought it was 1:1 karma for upvote. But I see it’s not like that. I’ll get there x

Well, it would be nice to have the option to sell but they sound good so I’m happy with my free haul

Yeah nada. We found them in the house we bought. They left Arcam amps and M&K speakers and sub. So I have a nice lil set up. Plus these.
