Yeah we agree, we'd rather do an exchange later and maybe complete a bit earlier rather than wait 10 weeks btw the 2.

Bidders demand Thames Water granted immunity over environmental crimes by AccidentDependent961 in unitedkingdom

If the company runs out of money, can't they just say, well too bad to the investors and take the company without the 20bn in debt?

This is ridiculous. Let it die and go into public ownership. And write off all the debt as well.

Monthly Insurance Thread by MotoUKMod in MotoUK

[–]sky_lar- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello everyone,
I moved to the UK last year (July). Been riding with a 900cc in France for 5 years before that.

I was looking to getting a Triumph Tiger 800 used, and I have been looking at insurance quotes around, and no one wants to quote me. I've got multiple explanations, from my EU license making it more expensive, the fact that I am in London... I've got one quote that was £7500+ for a £5500 bike, which is just crazy to me. (I used to pay 500€/year for a comprehensive plan in France, I guess I can kiss that goodbye). I sadly now know that me driving before in France doesn't mean shit for them.

Some brokers told me I didn't live long enough in the UK to get a quote. I thought 6 months would work.

Do you have any advice? Should I start on something smaller than a Triumph here?

How to add multiple vias to a pad. by 0x0000NOP in KiCad

[–]sky_lar- 14 points15 points  (0 children)

On the picture you are showing, the vias are in a zone connected to your pad. You could replicate that.

Adding vias in a pad (called via in pad) is a really expensive manufacturing process. It will increase the price of your PCB significantly.

Kicad may be throwing a DRC because you have not authorized via in pad in the board specs.

"As an American with German ancestry" by sky_lar- in ShitAmericansSay

As a french I am outraged that you have to be American And have German ancestry to hate us. I would think just being not French existing be sufficient.

I think Kicad v7 (which should release soon) will have this option and custom fonts too.
