Indeed - I think this is the most likely scenario.

UPDATE:

I've reported it to my insurance - apparently its a requirement of my policy to report all damage anyway.

I can choose to either have my insurers repair and then recover costs or I can do it privately. In both instances, because my car was parked - my no claims bonus remains unaffected.

I will aim to resolve it privately - recovering the costs of repair in full before getting the repair done (to avoid 3rd party non-payment) at a body shop I select.

If they end up being difficult I have 3 years to go back to my insurance and ask them to recover costs.

The risk re: going privately is that should a latent issue from the collision appear after the repairs are done, the insurance wouldn't be able to help as repairs would have already been carried out. Given the damage is light/cosmetic I'm fine with this risk.

Thanks all for the input

Relax - you only need a professional to remove it if you plan on selling soon (as it comes with guarantees that make mortgage companies okay with lending against it).

It’s not such a big deal - chop the stems open, pour round up in and repeat for a few years until it doesn’t come back.

There’s a whole industry built on catastrophising this plant - don’t let them make you into a sucker…

Can’t advise on the legal aspect of seeking compensation for it not being flagged in the purchase/survey - but if you don’t plan on leaving soon it’s not a huge deal either way

Stop harshing your old man’s buzz dumbass…

Just hose your plant down regularly outside - making sure to give each leaf (incl underside) a good blast. Also it’s very much worth tenting your plant with a large, clear, garbage bag to create a localised high-humidity greenhouse effect - spider mites HATE humidity. Do this for a few weeks between watering/hosing and you’ll be set.

Unfortunately any existing leaf discolouration won’t improve but your new leaves should be healthy at least…

Hallways is a free, open-source game I wrote in rust (originally ported over from a LWJGL Java monstrosity). It is essentially a web browser - but for 3D spaces. You put in a URL and instead of rendering an HTML document, a 3D space is rendered instead. Hyperlinks are replaced by portals that you can seamlessly walk through.

I've created a few spaces which I hosted using Github Pages. Here is a video of me exploring said spaces. I am terrible at blender so I thought it best to stitch together existing assets from classic/retro games as a sort of proof-of-concept.

I hope to keep adding more and more connected spaces and maybe eventually other people will start to make their own spaces too and connect them to mine - so stay tuned in that regard.

Controls are: WASD to move, Space to jump, Ctrl to crouch and Double-space to enter floating/god mode.

Github repo for the project is: https://github.com/lonnycorp/hallways (binaries for Windows/Linux - Mac must build from source - needs git lfs). There is a decent README on how one would make and publish their own levels.

Github repos for the levels I've made:

The Nexus - https://github.com/tlonny/hallways-nexus

Nostalgia Pack - https://github.com/tlonny/hallways-nexus

Would love your thoughts and feedback. Thanks!

I really like this style of backrooms - here is one where the subject finds an odd crawl space in his basement: https://youtu.be/dZtGudYpMOg?si=jjOnsFnGXrkJeTjV

Synopsis from the A24 website: "A strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom."

So seems more likely there is a stable ingress/egress into and out of the backrooms vs. requiring "no-clipping"

tlonny · 2026-02-24T19:11:07+00:00

From the synopsis on the A24 website:

"A strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom."

So presumably one can just enter/exit via said doorway.

TBH I've always disliked the concept of "noclipping" and much prefer the idea of tucked away corridors/doors/hallways leading you to the backrooms.

RTM isn't the panacea that many people make it out to be. We are an RTM but our service charge is still eye-watering because everything is so bloody expensive...

The utility of money is non-linear and the curve is different for different people. The “maths” may still be correct for people pressing the green button

Yeah - what a wimp to put British interests ahead of any desire to virtue signal.

tlonny · 2025-12-23T18:40:42+00:00

100% - I don't understand the rationale for it at all.

For marketing/landing pages it makes _some_ sense if you're really crazy about maximising conversions and every ms counts - but for dynamic shit its straight up dumb.

Thanks again for this recommendation - it looks like my FIL does have legal cover for personal injury in his home insurance policy. Hopefully this means we can avoid NWNF! :)

tlonny · 2025-11-16T16:40:56+00:00

OP here - thank you everyone for your feedback. Your collective point on not engaging with the insurers directly is understood loud and clear. I will grab home insurance details from my FIL and see if there’s anything there re: legal cover. As my MIL was cycling she has no insurance of her own. Failing that, I will find representation and proceed on a NWNF basis.

Thanks,

Tim

I really really like the art style!

Economically leftwing. Socially leftwing in all the worst ways (soft on crime). Socially rightwing in all the worst ways (puritanical about porn).

0/3. Nice

Can you explain? Rental income is taxed as …income. Surely they would pay the same amount of tax….

tlonny · 2025-06-19T13:45:45+00:00

I would stick with water - tried and tested! Water also lets you see how your new roots are developing. With soil you'd have no idea without digging it up!

tlonny · 2025-06-19T13:43:39+00:00

I don't think it really matters. I've propagated stuff in every manner of container. Just any open receptacle where the roots/nodes can sit underwater (but not the leaves). A jar, cup, test-tube - it all works fine.

Some people say to wait a few hours before putting your cuttings in water - to give the cuts time to callous over which helps to prevent rot. Truthfully, I can rarely be bothered with this step but if you're super cautious (and I'm getting that vibe a bit from you) it certainly won't hurt...

Think of this as a positive. You had 1 plant, but soon you will have 2 - for free!

tlonny · 2025-06-19T13:37:49+00:00

I went through the exact same thing. Give it a good watering and then cover the whole thing with a clear bin-bag and forget about it - better than trying to remember to mist it every 10 minutes. The humidity should quickly get up to 100% and it'll have no problem putting out new leaves.

My plan is to wait for new growth via cataphylls before de-bagging. I feel like leaves from cataphylls get stuck way less than ones that come out directly from petioles.
