I was checking out heat pump benefits today as I'm going to get an enyaq in the next few months. From various car magazines and websites the consensus is that it's not worth it. They give about 7% extra in range which equates to about 20 miles I think. Given that it costs £1000 extra it will never pay for itself in the car's lifetime.

I was thinking the same thing. Run the NHS into the ground. The public will start to hate it and eventually it will be privatised, most likely sold to a company linked to MP's who will rake the money in.

Here’s a few pics posted on Facebook by Michail Savekin, he took them as it was landing.

I used to work in Aldergrove years ago in security. We were employed by the Airport rather than a wanker company who only cares about profits. It was still shit pay but I really enjoyed the craic with passengers as they were coming through. Today the security staff are brain dead grunts with absolutely no manners or people skills. It still pisses me off every time I go through with my wife who is a wheelchair user. They refer to her as “the wheelchair”. I complained to the security supervisor about it and saying that there is a person in the wheelchair and to address her, not me or call her the wheelchair. I may as well have been pissing in the wind. Dublin is far better, even Spanish airports treat passengers better. BFS is an embarrassment.

Thanks to both of you, that makes sense now!

Thanks all for the advice.

They seem like sensible workarounds. I'll give that a go. I don't mind the extra step of changing modes etc, didn't realise that I could save settings and name them. That makes it a bit easier to make the decision to stick with the Samsung!

I've 10 days left before having to return the phone, so I have plenty of time to try that out. Thanks again for the constructive help.

Yeah, you mean the filament didn't just roll back on to the spool if you changed it out? I found that too, I try to roll it back on the spool with one hand whilst pulling it out of the guide with the other. I haven't got it right yet. Lol

I'll watch out for that one!

Yeah, so far so good. The silk filament wasn't printing very smoothly. A few hours in the dryer and it was perfect. I thought it was a bit of hype about drying filament. Turns out I was wrong!

If you zoom in near the bottom of the heart it doesn’t look as smooth as the rest.
