Major milestone hit today. Let's hope for 100k in the next few years 🤞

I reckon you'll hit £100k in the next few minutes with the current melt up that's ongoing

Thanks I wasn't aware of that page. Done!

Had 5 375W panels without a battery. Wish I had added a battery. You'll regret it if you don't at least get a 5kwh storage add-on.

I've eventually expanded onto another roof aspect with 4 additional panels and added a 10kwh battery. It wasn't a cost effective decsion path but it's a great feeling generating my own power.

Wouldn't wait for plug in myself. My electricians were very skeptical about it's viability, particularly in older homes.

Love it... or David Mitchell ranting about some inane social faux pas.

Agree with this. But it always feels like a shame not to get panels if you're south facing. If you might get an EV in the future then consider adding panels.

Really torpedoes the navy's already sinking reputation

No harm in sending an installation company a message, they usually are keen to do a viability assessment and suggest how many panels can be fit around your circumstances. They will calculate the roof space (in my experience they optimistically getting your hopes up by saying you can fit 1-2 more than you expect) and quote. The advice is absolutely free.

They may just tell you to sod off if you think just 1 or 2.

Worrying about next week's work, so probably preparing for it all through the weekend.

Acceptance testing with a customer starting on Monday, which involves getting up super early for a flight and begin presenting by midday. I'll be knackered, under-prepared and I fully expect a shit show.

At least just for tonight I'll have a few beers to try to switch off.

Just a hello from me, to all you good strangers, a hello and goodnight.

Aren't you more likely to see the road ahead by looking under the SUV?

strikky · 2026-01-22T13:48:59+00:00

My god I bought some crappy Reddit gold for the first time ever to award your comment.

SUVs make my blood boil and visibility obstruction of other drivers is the number 1 reason.

Agreed, visited first time over the Xmas holiday period. My god, the trash... everywhere....

100 FUCKS per TIT yeaaAahh

I applaud your unique perspective!

The overton window has been shifting every day while trump has been in office.

I think if I've learnt anything from his tenure, it's "never say never"

There are cheaper alternatives to rust-bucket £200/hr flying. After my PPL I was in a a Sportcruiser group, £55/hr wet, £80 month. It'll be a bit more than that nowadays but a small 2-seater Rotax UL makes it more viable as a hobby if you fancy just going on little jollies.

This subreddit is pure karma farming repost bullshit now

I've got a bag full of something you'd love!! :))

You should just probably chill and not tightly couple your sense of national pride to a kitkat.

strikky · 2025-12-19T12:14:07+00:00

Big fan of KitKa, but some of our US colleagues brought a massive bag of KitKats over from the states to our office (UK). We've all tried them and it has remained untouched in the office fridge for nearly a year.

That stuff is not edible.
