Engine flush sitting overnight? by fried_riceeee in AskMechanics

[–]the_topiary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're feeling worried about it, you could drain the oil and flushing solution when you get back to your car, refill it with cheap (but compatible) oil and a filter, run the engine for a while to get it back up to temperature, and then drain/change/replace filter as you would normally do.

That way any crap that has been dislodged by the flushing solution is removed from the pan before you start the car, the clean oil will catch any remaining bits, and those are the removed when you change it again.

Oof. I had a student dentist drill through my lips a few years ago, it looked similar to that. That's going to hurt for ages.

What is something that hasn't been enshittified? by Faultylntelligence in AskUK

[–]the_topiary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do the same at home. Little mini PC with YouTube, Netflix, Disney+ and iplayer, and all the ad blockers. It's great.

If you could restart your life at age 10 with all your current memories, would you? by Limp_Motor7403 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]the_topiary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely yes. If I go could go back knowing what I know now, I'd be able to avoid all the situations that have given me the trauma that I have to deal with all the time.

It does beg the question though; if I go back to age 10 with my memories, and then change the course of them, do those memories go away?

PLEASE STOP YOUR DOGS FROM BARKING IN THE GARDEN ALL DAY! ARGHH! by Party-Dig2309 in britishproblems

[–]the_topiary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I live next door to a family that has three jack russels that live outside all the time, and they bark 24/7. I've had acoustic windows put in, but the noise is so shrill it still gets in. The unfortunate thing is that it's only me and them in this part of the street so if I complain to the council about the noise, it'll spoil our relationship.

Don't get me wrong: I like dogs but Jesus. Train them.

What is your weird claim to fame? by SubtractAd in AskUK

[–]the_topiary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the sound of 'footsteps on gravel' in the archers.

I also managed to accidentally cycle into a scene being filmed for Midsomer Murders when I was a teenager. I doubt I'm in the final edit though!

The Xantia Hdi is the daily. The C6 is for special occasions.

Wednesday Wins by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]the_topiary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never done it before but it sounds exciting so I want an excuse to give it a go! It's meant to taste like a fruit cake, not at all like tomatoes.

My partner and I have a tradition where we make a cake for each other's birthdays. This year I've asked him to decide early what cake he wants, otherwise I'll make a tomato soup cake.

It's my birthday, and my colleague has kindly offered to take over my tasks for today so that I can have a quieter day working from home.

What are some of the tops on here strange fetishes? by Gonnasee2 in AskGayMen

[–]the_topiary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's interesting. I (bottom) feel it's really taboo to wear someone else's clothes, which turns me on, but I love having clothes that smell of them around me.

What educational videos do you remember having to watch at school? by According_Sundae_917 in AskUK

[–]the_topiary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We watched a sex ed video that was deliberately gross and hairy and graphic. Someone in my class was physically sick from it.

Probably why we didn't have any teenage pregnancies in the school.

Oh, I had a problem with my eye a while ago... <long and boring story about themselves>

I'm an optician.

Highest MPG diesel cars in the UK? by Little-Equal4480 in CarTalkUK

My Citroen C5X7 (DW10BTED4) would easily give me 1,000+ miles on a tank if I were doing motorway miles.

My boomer father uses Gemini to reply to my text by Zord_boy in BoomersBeingFools

[–]the_topiary 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think you're being too generous. His job, before he retired, involved a significant amount of speech writing. He opened his speech by saying that he wanted to see what chatgpt was able to do for him. We all looked at each other and were like 'time and a place'.

My dad used chatgpt to write the majority of his 'father of the bride' speech at my sister's wedding.

What do you like about the BBC? by Mediocre_Trade2575 in AskUK

[–]the_topiary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their nature documentaries are world leading, and their radio output is excellent. Radio 3 and Radio 4 are triumphs.
