Looking for advice
 in  r/CarTalkUK  6h ago

So what stops you from going to RAC approved garage that is not Ford dealership to check price? What’s your warranty cap, is it amount of money they will pay, or are there specific parts they will cover?

I would check with indie garage, for cost, 7K for an engine sounds a bit too much. Do you have any kind of warranty with the garage you bought it from?

Bought a kitchen scale and apparently I need another scale to calibrate it properly.
 in  r/mildlyinfuriating  1d ago

If tare button works during calibration, you could use 1 litre of water and set value to 1kg. If you have measuring jug.

Is this high oil temp?
 in  r/AskMechanics  1d ago

No, thats not too hot. My diesel sits straight at 100C (212F) and that’s how I know my engine warmed up.

How to extend network to a second building? TV works, internet doesn’t, or vice versa
 in  r/HomeNetworking  1d ago

Sounds like your router is glitching, check if there’s software update available. It should work in AP mode, but from the sounds of it AP mode isn’t working correctly. If you can’t get it working, get a cheap 4 port switch and a dedicated AP. Also, if there’s no update from tp link, check if model is supported by openwrt.

My name is Mesopotamia

Do you get discounts in shawarma places?

Sorry, couldn’t resist. But the name is not terrible. Not like I would name my child like that, but not terrible.

AITA for refusing to pay my girlfriend rent?
 in  r/AmItheAsshole  2d ago

From which ever side I look at it, your demand is terrible. You haven’t lived together yet and you expect her to make such commitment? If you plan to live together happily ever after what difference does it make if you are on deeds or not? If you don’t plan to live together - she got a got a good point. In general, the fact that you are thinking like that tells that your finances more valuable than your relationship, why are you so offended that she sees it in the same way?

Anyone tried windshield wipers from Xi Jinping?
 in  r/leaf  3d ago

It really depends on wiper, Bosch usually require some work, Mitsuba really easy, can’t remember brand, but one was non replaceable at all. My point was that fillers are OK, so there’s a chance wipers will be fine too.

Too high man
 in  r/CarTalkUK  3d ago

There’s a slight chance that somebody like owner of that company actually drives it on the daily basis and doesn’t want to sell it.

I’m ordering fillers for wipers for aliexpress, but not whole wipers.

Need help setting up home network without using ISP-provided router
 in  r/HomeNetworking  3d ago

Second NIC, switch and AP is what I meant by costing more than your typical router supported by OpenWRT. If you have AP, it’s like tenner for network card and 20 quid for cheap switch.

Need help setting up home network without using ISP-provided router
 in  r/HomeNetworking  3d ago

The idea is good, but the actual setup may not be that straight forward.

You can setup your PC as a router. You would need 2 NICs, probably some sort of switch to connect more than 1 clients, and a separate access point for wifi. From software side, you can use Opnsense, pfsense, or OpenWRT x86. Those can be installed as OS on your PC, or can run as Virtual Machine if you plan to use your PC for some other tasks.

Why not use a router with open source firmware that will do exactly you need all in one box but without any mess for probably a half of the price?

Need some advice on cleaning the mask and the tubing...

Because of this reason I’m using remains of the soap base that I have from the days when I was making own soap.

Oh, it makes sense. I missed that part, sorry

I may not understanding something, but are there any carbs in heavy creamer? I thought it’s like fat and a tiny bit of protein, so just cut same calories from breakfast? I’m in UK tho, so possibly it’s something else here.

Also, fuck creamer and milk, just drink black coffee, once you get used to it, it tastes so much better. I became lactose intolerant a few years ago, so switched from milky coffee to just plain- no milk, no sugar. That’s when you can appreciate a good coffee.

$800/month

Masks are free, but I had to buy memory foam cushion for £30. To be honest I was expecting that I will have to pay for machine itself, god bless the NHS.

What do you consider “full service history”?
 in  r/CarTalkUK  6d ago

My expectations are high, so if I’m seeing seller advertising FSH I’m expecting service book stamped with required intervals and invoices for all repairs outside of service. I had an invoice for battery replacement from previous owner, managed to get replaced it by warranty 4.5 years after installation and 3 years after I bought a car. But in most cases it’s only stamped service book.

Completely fed up with all advertisements...
 in  r/HomeNetworking  7d ago

Basically there’s close to no way to remove ads from youtube and prime in the way when you set it up once and then just watch on tv. Pihole and likes won’t block them. You can use browser with adblocker that will block ads on youtube, but it’s not seamless and video will be pausing for 5-10 seconds every time.

At least I haven’t found.

Mesh Setup for small business
 in  r/HomeNetworking  8d ago

It could work, but it’s not ideal. I think you would be better with access points on the ceiling roughly in the middle of each floor. Depending on what mesh you are looking at, wifi 6 Ubiquiti access point may not cost much more, but you would need PoE switch and some extension ethernet wires.

How do I sleep with ADHD???

If you don’t mind me asking, what were you reading?

 in  r/ADHD  10d ago

That’s kinda the whole point, if it’s not exciting you will slowly start sleeping. And that also explains why my best naps were on “Data Structure” lectures.

How do I sleep with ADHD???
 in  r/ADHD  10d ago

There should be combo that get’s you sleep. I mean, under normal condition it shouldn’t really take longer than 5-10 minutes to get there. So, probably something keeps you stimulated, so while you want to sleep, you kinda can’t. I struggled with sleep until my 30s, given that I had to wake up at 5:30 to catch a train at 6:18, it was severe problem for me. Not anymore!

My combo is warm shower and 15-20 minutes of reading wikipedia in bed about some boring stuff like dinosaurs, nuclear reactors, or my current one - neanderthals and relatives. And breathing regularly. Key is to keep focus on article and not let thoughts to drift into something more exciting.

Do you suggest reflashing the bios?
 in  r/HomeNetworking  10d ago

I think it’s a bit of paranoia. I mean you can brick it easily by flashing wrong bios, or it also may not be flashable at all, like on some Lenovo’s. You have a thick chance to get a paperweight, that could have been your firewall. On the other side of scales, what is the risk of having something wrong with stock bios? Backdoors? To what, primary boot device and system time? Or you need some extra features to boot proxmox?
