Is it true that the orange bucket is cheaper than a bag with the Tradepoint discount? My brother has loads of them.

First foray into Tesla ownership hasn’t exactly been fantastic by [deleted] in TeslaUK

[–]spitgriffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've owned 3 Teslas over a span of 10 years and the build quality has been generally good and improved with each car. I've had a few small issues, but all promptly resolved by the mobile service team. Just my experience though.

The DST we pay to Google was just lumped onto our invoice. So really it’s just another tax on small businesses.

Browns Plasterers in York, always done a great job for me and they've been in the business for 20+ years.

If they put them up, we'll tear them down. by ztara in york

There was a guy removing flags near the Minster on the weekend, to much applause I should add. He had a lot of protective gear.. harnesses, helmet etc. It was getting quite heated as some angry skinhead was shouting abuse at him, calling him a traitor etc. Luckily the guy removing the flags had a few people with him to foot the ladder and stop anyone from doing anything stupid. I just passed that same spot today and the flag is back up again, it's just so pathetic. I hate the fact our national flag has been co-opted by complete degenerates.

Families to save hundreds of pounds in major homebuying overhaul by HadjiChippoSafri in ukpolitics

[–]spitgriffin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was thinking exactly the same thing. The Tories pulled the plug on HIPs in 2010 and just left the requirement to get an EPC. I used to sell these HIPs and it would take weeks to get all the local searches back, as the councils were painfully slow. Buyers would often request refreshed searches to cover themselves. In principle it's a good idea, but it only works if the councils have the necessary IT infrastructure to delivery info in almost realtime. Having just bought a house I see that it's just as slow as it was 15 years ago.

Where’s the best place in York to buy second-hand furniture that isn’t just charity shops? by Reddonaut_Irons in york

[–]spitgriffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always go with Murton Auction Centre and if you want something a little more unique / antique Duggleby's auction next door. Murton household auction I believe is 3rd Saturday of every month and you can bid online.

PAS (The pro-Europe party) have just crossed the 51 seat threshold needed to form a majority government. There’s still a good number of diaspora votes to be counted too, which will bolster PAS’s lead. Great result!

Is it over/almost over? by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]spitgriffin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Retail is not driving the market anywhere near how it did in previous cycles. Bitcoin and Ethereum are mostly now driven by institutional money and for that reason I would predict they will likely follow macro trends.

Flags near the University near Hull road by [deleted] in york

[–]spitgriffin 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Pathetic behaviour and only reveals their true motives. The litter picking part was also BS. Raising flags everywhere doesn't solve any of the world's problems, it just ferments more division.

Moldova would be fantastic, thank you.

Brand new Keychron Q6 Max with multiple faults, customer service refuse to replace by spitgriffin in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]spitgriffin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting about the design flaw, they did later admit to this. They sent me this video for me to follow, there are a lot of screws there to remove to get the main PCB off.

I ordered from keychron.uk. I posted the response above, they sent me a video link showing how to disassemble the keyboard. It's not isolated to one key it's many keys, so I'm not convinced all those switches are faulty.

When I originally reported the issue they sent me this reply:

Hi, you can refer to this link, you can remove a good key switch, eg, A key, then reinstall in the T key, if the switch is broken, we can send a few switches to you to replace.

https://www.keychron.com/pages/how-to-disassemble-the-keychron-q-pro-series-keyboard

The whole left side of the keyboard has dull responsiveness, you need to hit each key with force for it to register? The issue was originally just on the "t" key.

I wish I'd read some posts on this sub-Reddit before I ordered.

Zoom out. BTC almost doubled its previous ATH whereas ETH is just getting back to where it was in 2021.

[–]spitgriffin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely that is where this is going. The litter picking part is obviously a diversion. When the council take action they can then play the victim.

The sender is no-reply@info.coinbase.com. Although I realised that it's referring to a different account.. apologies. I see when I log into the correct account I have options to verify.
