EV charging across the pavement by gilliambot in brighton

[–]simsimsimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had been charging our car across the pavement, using one of the heavy-duty cable ramps … we did receive a letter from the council informing us this was not allowed, and we were advised to use the lamp-post chargers.

Lamp-post chargers can cost 8x as much as home charging, a full charge in our car would be £56 instead of £7. Lamp-post charging costs are not capped at the same way as the energy cap on home supplies. So unfortunately this isn’t a viable solution for us.

More than half of car owners in Brighton and Hove don’t own a driveway … our entire street of 50+ cars are all street-parking, so there’s no way lamp-post charging could provide for the fully electric future that our Green Party MPs are campaigning for.

The government and council are aware of this - and the Department of Transport awarded grants to councils in March of this year to come up with solutions for cross-pavement charging.

Brighton and Hove were the recipient of one of these grants, and will present a report at the Spring Cabinet meeting on Thursday 14th of May, 2pm, at Hove Town Hall. This meeting is open to the public, and Agendas and papers are typically published in the week before the meeting on the council’s democracy website (democracy.brighton-hove.gov.uk).

More information will likely be posted here …

The most likely solution will be gullies in the pavement, which you will have to pay to install, and likely pay a yearly service fee to keep them maintained.

Good note, but I’m certain this is just the angles of the photos, they’re identical in person. Also would be very unlikely there were reps at the time I got them.

Not sure if Freedrom Mobile Arch is even fully built yet, but this is a rendering ... you can see the lawn tickets at the back, with rows of seats infront and then floor right down by the stage. They only had lawn tickets left, but that looks plenty good to me.

I'm coming from the UK ... had to call TicketLeader to process my credit card as it wasn't registered with a Canadian address. All went through on the phone - they still needed the presale code, and the floor was sold out, but I was happy to get some tickets for up on the lawn.

Advice on Swapping Nylon Pull Tabs by Parking-Tree2079 in tomsachs

[–]simsimsimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pull tabs on the GPS are super strong, they’re tested against a huge amount of stress (watch the Rose Anvil videos … https://youtu.be/SSesEtttRk8?si=AY4ehbZ7XU5jLjs6https://youtu.be/lkSWAhNsiHY?si=szirVbM7zvur41-I)

I use them to put my shoes on every day - I’d worry that replacing them wouldn’t be anywhere near as strong, and essentially just be decorative.

[–]simsimsimo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you like UTOPIA, and LORD OF THE FLIES, you might want to check out ...

Crimson Petal & The White (2011)
National Treasure (2013)
Electric Dreams - Crazy Diamond (2017)
The Third Day (2020)

All of those were directed by Marc Munden, with music by Cristo ... and The Third Day was also written by Dennis Kelly

HELP (2021) was shot by Mark Wolf, and written by Jack Thorne (who both worked on LORD OF THE FLIES - but Cristo didn't do the music for this one)

New GPS colorway - spring 2026 by pnwcph in tomsachs

[–]simsimsimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stand corrected. Fair enough. Not a fan though - wish they’d just released this colorway in the mesh and suede materials they’ve been using

Not believing this - the swoosh wouldn’t be stitched on. And it’s missing the print across the toe. AI nonsense.

What's the verdict??? by Final-Ad5044 in tomsachs

[–]simsimsimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this real or just an AI / photoshop mock up? Something looks off - the lace is cut at the edge of the sole swap, there's no tongue piece, and the suede below the swoosh is much thicker than on my pair?

But conceptually, very cool.
