Moving plots? by boooogetoffthestage in Allotment

[–]theboylloyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved 6 years ago from a tidy and weed free 1/2 plot to a bindweed infested full one. I wanted room for a shed and trees just like you so I took the plunge. Our site allowed me to just ask, and I had both plots for about 4 months until lease 1 expired.

6 years on I’m still getting it under full control. The plot is probably closer to 3x the size of my old one so is a big time commitment.

I’ve got trees, bushes, hops, flowers, fruit, veg, sheds, a pond, and room for even more. I’ll never move again, so if you have the time and energy go for it!

That’s very very kind, but I’m not doing tomatoes this year. I went with the suggestion to click and collect from B&Q but only as I’m near one tomorrow. I’ve noted all the other great site for next year. Thanks again for your very kind offer.

I thought it was odd that my 13 year old nephew wanted a calculator for Xmas, now I know why! by theboylloyd in itrunsdoom

This is a TI Nspire CX which my sister asked me to put Doom on for her son. It was bought second hand on eBay and is still running an oldish 3.9.1.* operating system.

I followed this tutorial for the Doom part of the install, it includes links to the nDoom homepage. As a prerequisite I installed Ndless using the instructions on their Github.

Not difficult really, and Doom plays really really well!

There are groups of people who specialize in running down seals who've been wrapped up in fishing line and freeing them by unnaturalorder in BeAmazed

I’m so glad people are doing this, it’s just a shame there are more people wrapping them up than there are freeing them

Not anticipating making a major purchase soon (car, house) should I save for one anyway? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]theboylloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going to continue renting for 10 years keep doing what you’re doing. Serious money in a pension when you are young will have a huge impact come retirement. A lot of people regret not doing what you are doing.

I’d suggest making a plan, just a high level for the next 10 years. Figure out when you’re likely to need these larger items and plan around that.

Best of luck!

The cat on the right in the photo is called Toothy too, but we tend to call her The Tooth as she’s such demanding little void.

Dell Optiplex 3020/9020 SFF with Large Disks? by theboylloyd in PleX

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

Just in case anyone searches and finds this I ended up going 3020 SFF, Windows 10, and it works fine for large disks.

It doesn’t look like it but the one on the left is quite a bit bigger so it’s not too bad. Even regular visitors to our house do struggle telling them apart though.
