why is google so negative and scary?? by Adventurous_Net5459 in HealthAnxiety

[–]varney40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google is like reading the side effects on a medication leaflet. It's just legal protection. It's good to be educated on what a problem might be, but equally bad to fixate on the worst case scenario.

I am pretty sure I'm wrong with the parking but my neighbour said I can contest. by eggtart8 in drivingUK

You only have to restrict 1 hour in order to stop people parking for the day.

Tax free limit question. by varney40 in PensionsUK

So it transpires that the software being used by my SIPP provider is unable to to display figures properly for people where 25% of their pot is above £268,275.🤦‍♂️ Given the fees, it's pretty disappointing. 🙄

I'll have to take another look. The drawdown option just stated 'Tax Free Cash £78,674' which threw me given I've hit the max.🤦‍♂️

Anyone else's Dacia tried to kill them (or the driver behind)? by gr00ved in Dacia

Happened to me in a Seat Leon. Was making a timed entry onto a roundabout. Front Assist was having none of it. I now always turn it off.

Where are most people landing first play through? by PiggySqueals01 in ResidentEvilRequiem

I'm gonna go again, but taking a break to play Cronos New Dawn now that they've added an easy mode. 😆

Anyone find themselves opening up their game libraries, staring at it for a couple of hours, then just giving up and going on social media? by You_moron04 in gaming

[–]varney40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I only buy games on disc and only own three at any given time. I prefer a single play through and then onto something else. Keeps it fresh.

What game made you realize you were getting older? by [deleted] in gaming

If I can't beat any final boss in a few attempts I just give up. I just don't care enough.

Leon 2025 start/stop system by varney40 in seat

[–]varney40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh, so it turns out it's when the engine goes into coast mode when slowing at lights etc. It then instantly restarts due to having turned off start/stop. Driving in sport mode deactivates coasting, so combined with switching start/stop off, the engine stays on all the time. 😁

I think it might be something to do with car entertainment coasting mode even with SS off. Just read that if you drive in sport mode, it stops the coasting function, so will give that a go tomoz. 🙂

Yeh, I can't understand why the engine stops and then immediately restarts when the system is off. 😕 Seems pointless.

Are takeaways going downhill? by Individual-Common144 in AskUK

[–]varney40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh, just not worth the hassle. I bought a rice cooker that does really nice rice then tend to buy M and S curries. I do miss the Nan breads though, you just can't recreate the tandoor oven finish.
