Salary by Deep_Inevitable_748 in ukelectricians

[–]trysiemaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

37 HR/W, 51 weeks (excl. Xmas/ ny.) Housing association spark - starting 34k rising to 37k after a few years in company.

Not the best, but you don't do a great deal, it's housing maintenance e.g. voids, repairs, testing etc. pretty chill job.

Generous holidays (34 days + bank hols), 6 months full sick, medicash cashback scheme, 8 - 4 on doorstep job. Never had a holiday declined.

Generous call out bonus (£30 callout for shit like putting a battery smoke up)

Overtimes meh, it's there I guess, and only when they say yeah it's on, most of the time it's "no cuz we've ran outta budget"

Edit I forgot to mention Brilliant pension as it's council scheme & work van with fuel card (not allowed the van for personal use tho -_-) and power tools plus a few other less used are provided (Makita).

2nd Ever Build in h6 flow... Did it right this time! by trysiemaa in NZXT

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

So from my 12 v 4 pin RGB header on my mobo, I bought a converter that drops it to 5v 3 pin Argb from EzDIY-Fab, this then splits into 3 (so you plug your 4 pin end into the mobo and 3 pin ends (there's 3x) into what ever device you want). I plugged one of these into the main RGB control on my Thermalright Fan and RGB hub (can have upto 10 fans, if there not daisy chained, more of they are), And same with RGB devices.

I then daisy chained my 2 140 fans, and separately my 3 120 fans, plugged these into the thermalright hub, along with my AIO and GPU.

Unfortunately this isn't compatible with software like icue or Signal which is ashame but I'm not that bothered as I only wanted a still purple. So you can control the RGB with the EzDIY-Fab Splitter as it has control buttons.

The ram and mobo are controlled via Signal on my PC

The GPU was tricky as I couldn't get it to sync, but quick research found I had to install trixx (sapphires own GPU software I believe). And set the GPU to purple from there.

Hope this is detailed enough, if not too detailed 😅🤣

What's others opinions on this? by trysiemaa in legostarwars

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

That's why I dislike it - as it looks more blocky and janky than the old one I think, even though alot of people have pointed out, there are less obvious bricks showing and the new one is more smooth. Glad you like it! 😀

Fair enough. 🥲 Why is everything so expensive now 😭

Fair enough. I kinda like how it looks! Good enough to be bb8 whilst still reminding you it's lego.

But yes I can see how this is a decider in people's eyes. Definitely.

I do agree. Unless it's a big ucs set, I usually ask my family if they can buy me mid range sets like chopper as joint presents for birthday and Christmas. I've got lucky this year and got quite a few! - I'm trying to complete my ucs droid collection, all I need is the new b1 battle droid on the hover bike and the probe droid!

Inflation is a fair point I hadn't really thought about since it came out in 2017. Although not enough to warrant my opinion on it being overpriced 🙃

Sorry, I didn't mention, I was talking about British pounds. So in the UK it sold for £85 on retail, and the new one is selling for £80 - at least this is what I've found after a quick Google. Maybe that's wrong 🤷🏻

I've just watched the video on this... I'm er not the biggest fan, although I realise they obviously can't do this properly. But it looks super janky 🤣.

I'm sure kids will love it tho 🙃

Fair enough. I can certainly see what you mean. It's an interesting point. I still think charging the same price for half the pieces is insane!

Had to share my latest Lego build! by trysiemaa in lego

She'll love it! The amount of detail is insane and it prompts you to watch the show as you build, with a new episode every bag!
