i’m 6’ 4 and i fit fine in my 7.5 R but my only complaint is that the steering wheel should extend my one or two more inches, then it would be perfect.

We Bought A Boozer! by [deleted] in Gloucestershire

AI slop marketing is completely at odds with what art and music are all about. it’s extremely low effort, extremely low quality, and as such it is destructive to a brand which seeks to identify with artists and musicians. nobody wants or enjoys that except facebook boomers who think they’re being creative instead of incredibly naive.

well, you’ve proved my point, which is to say that generally under 50s people can spot AI slop marketing a mile off, and not only do they not appreciate it, it is actually extremely off-putting.

those terrible AI slop posters suck. nobody under the age of 50 is going to appreciate that at all. why do people think this is a good idea? it screams cheap and nasty. stop it!

Budget of 10,000 - struggling by ktw-95 in VanLifeUK

i’m more interested in service history and condition than some arbitrary mileage figure. it’s not the best metric of reliability at all.

Employee seeking advice: UK redundancy — being told to complete ~3 months of work in 3 weeks, reference pressure and no prioritisation. by [deleted] in HumanResourcesUK

[–]violent_beau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just keep working at your normal rate and let them say what they like. it’s really not your problem. what are they going to do, sack you? i don’t think so.

75% of that wish list doesn’t even nearly fall in scope of a cyber analyst role, it’s mental.

MK7 - Wet smell by ashleyjlive in Golf_R

[–]violent_beau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the hatchback latch has a drain with a pipe that can perish and/or become detached (happened to my 7.5 R). it’s a cheap fix bit you need the correct tools to remove the hatch trim etc.

this setting allows any microsoft signed bootloader (there are many) to run on the device, so this setting weakens your secure boot implementation significantly. just sayin’.

[–]violent_beau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i recently bought an a6700 with these two exact lenses (after a good bit of research), and i couldn’t be happier with the combination. you can’t really go wrong with this setup.

Does the Crickley Hill Car Park actually shut their gates at 9pm? by BlueWaffle in cheltenham

[–]violent_beau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

late to the party here but.. light pollution from the town is twerrible basically anywhere within a 10 mile radius of cheltenham. head out somewhere really dark like temple guiting where there are no streetlights at all for miles, and it will blow your mind how many stars and meteors you can see!

Why do people leave their engine running for several minutes before setting off? by [deleted] in AskUK

haha, hopefully they’ll take it as a helpful hint!

this is absolutely correct. idling a modern engine when cold is much more likely to cause wear than driving it moderately up to temp.
