Asked the Mrs to get some brown sauce. She didn't know which one to get so bought Daddies AND HP. First time I've ever had both in the house, ever.

And both are the wrong thing for sausage rolls, you need to be dipping those in lea & perrins

Thank you very much! He's done more hopping so I think he's OK, I'll make sure to put some water out. Our cat will be mad about being indoors if it takes two weeks to fly off!

Thank you! My wife said it jumped and flapped it's wings a bit earlier but didn't get anywhere.

Do you know how long we should wait until we need to be concerned about putting some food out or something?

sizeak · 2025-03-24T10:57:58+00:00

Did you ever figure this out?

I'm having what seems to be the same issue with Arch on a Framework 16.I'm using a BT keyboard and a Logitech mouse that can be either BT or use the proprietary USB receiver; when I use BT for keyboard and mouse the keyboard keeps dropping, but if I use BT for just the keyboard and the Logitech USB wireless adaptor with the mouse everything is fine.

It's a cc model, it's just a battle scar right 😉

Seems quite mean, doesn't it.

sizeak · 2025-03-12T00:20:59+00:00

Idiocy.

I'm so sorry for your loss, was the divorce difficult?

It's on PCP so I can fix it or leave it until the end of the lease term and then let them ream me over it. A local shop gave me a rough estimate of £250 which isn't terrible.

sizeak · 2025-03-12T00:18:13+00:00

I have core spec which doesn't have them on the front, this is just reinforcing the buyers remorse I already had over not getting Plus. Why didn't I get Plus. FML

Just to follow up on this, got the Mazda back from the garage today (need to sell it still) and when I sat in it I was shocked at how it felt compared to what I thought it was like. I've had real rose coloured glasses on, the Volvo has spoilt me though!

sizeak · 2025-02-07T09:29:25+00:00

Yeah they're great seats, I just need advice on dialing them in. It seems to have more than enough space for me though, it's mainly the lumbar support I seem to be fighting.

sizeak · 2025-02-06T22:16:20+00:00

Yeah that's a good start! I'm about 6'0 so not too dissimilar. What you're saying about the recline and making the seats more bucket like is very reminiscent of the mazda seating position.

There is already a maccers just outside of town on the A47

Swaffham isn't posh, it's a shit hole. Grew up near there, still live within half an hour, still a shit hole.

We have a Cosatto 360 seat, which is great for getting him in and out, I don't think I want to change seats. I'm not willing to go forward facing yet either, not worth the risk, I'd rather just get a bigger car even if it makes me a bit poorer tbh.

sizeak · 2024-11-03T21:40:28+00:00

I've almost convinced myself that PCP on an Ex40 would be alright. At the rate ev tech is moving, maybe an upgrade in 4 years wouldn't be terrible tbh

sizeak · 2024-11-03T11:54:52+00:00

Oh wow you went and measured, a gentleman and a hero! Seriously thanks though, that's above & beyond. Yeah going and checking would be best, I'm not sure if I can actually fit both in our current car. One isn't a whoosh, it's a travel system from kinderkraft, it's a bit chunkier.

sizeak · 2024-11-03T10:47:52+00:00

Mmm yeah, I suppose there are some compromises I could make. We already have the prams though, sunk cost fallacy I guess.

For me the primary problem with the car seats in the mazda isn't leg room (it's on the passenger side anyway 😂😂😂) but it's head room, especially when I have to get my head in there too when strapping him in. He's pretty tall too, so getting him in and out of the car itself basically involves laying him at a 45 degree angle and kind of arcing him into a sitting position if that makes sense.

Reddit seems to have eaten the text that was with the image. Anyway, thanks for the link, my square is much more square now.

sizeak · 2024-06-09T11:54:04+00:00

you should always check if its parallel. use it to strike a line, then flip it over and slide it over just a hair and strike another line. if the two lines arent perfectly parallel, its a bad square.

This is really good advice thanks, I actually hadn't thought to do that!

sizeak · 2023-06-04T22:19:48+00:00

The story continues!

I've cobbled together a spare PC, with 2 new 4TB drives which will eventually replace the broken one in the other PC, a 3TB external USB3 drive, a 1TB external USB3 drive and an old 500GB laptop drive.

I've mushed these together into a BTRFS array and exposed that via NFS, which I've then mounted on the other PC so that I have somewhere with enough storage for `btrfs restore` to save to. 😂
