I have a canvas app that is used for many different functions, I decided to package up 2 solutions both solutions contain this app but also other flows and components related to a specific project that uses the app.

I though this would not introduce different layers for this app as they both come from changes made in the same app in dev, then moved to environments using pipelines.

How should I handle this? I thought my method was recommended but obviously introducing new layers is not wanted.

I booked my car into a Kia garage for the 60k mile service, while I'm on the phone the service guy says "this service will be pollen filter and brake fluid", it didn't really register till afterwards, I didn't tell them the millage, they never serviced my car before (it came from the UK and I just got it in Ireland) so is pollen filter and brakes done every service, I kind of figured they would service what needed to be serviced when they seen the car and not just based on the cars age, which is all they know about the car?

I'm building a greenhouse and going to make 6 concrete footings, then using 6 post holders for the main support.

What I'm trying to work out is what's the best way to attach the post holders, should I wait for the footings to dry then drill out the 4 holes for each holder, this is how I've attached post holders to existing concrete bases before.

But it seems like there might be an easier way, sink the bolts or use a different design holder?

Are there any apps that have the animated/silly photo filters like those found in Snapchat? For my 12 year old daughter who we don't want to have Snapchat but the filters would be a fun part for her.

I have a few wired smoke alarms in the house that are over the 10 year mark so need to be replaced.

I'm comfortable with rewiring sockets and lights etc so I have no problem tackling them myself but I've never had any dealings with wired smoke alarms, looking on screwfix I see a range of different ones available, some are linked some aren't, some have wireless, some need bases etc.

Anyone any advice, I normally like I get everything ready before tackling it but maybe I just need to take the old ones down and see what they are before buying something new?

I've only noticed this since using android auto, when it shows suggestions of destinations, it often suggests the name of a house (in rural Ireland) that is 500yards down the road from my home, I've since seen in my google account that the label on my "home" is the name of this house. I can only really set the location of my home, and I assume it just picks up the nearest landmark which is this other persons house. Is there any way to change this?

I'm wondering if an EV charger can be install on the wall of a wood shed? It's just closest to where I park my car and would be the ideal spot.

My dad had a greenhouse when I was growing up, everything was planted in the ground and he'd have tomato's, peppers, cucumber, strawberries, things like that, I loved it and want to do the same now at my house. I just assumed every greenhouse was in ground planting as that is what we had, which obviously isn't the case.

I'm thinking a large work bench and shelving will be much easier but is there a rule of thumb on which to use, like if you are planting x,y,z then in ground is better but if its a,b,c then in pots is better, or is it size or ground type or weather etc etc? I'm very green on this and really decided I wanted the greenhouse before considering what I will actually plant in it when its done, for reference I'm in Ireland and will only be planting in spring/summer, I remember our greenhouse at home being Baltic in winter and I'm not going down the route of heating.

When I bought my house the previous owner had left a roll of heavy duty white plastic, it was sort of like a roll of fabric barrier, about 1.5m longer but this material is thicker and waterproof plastic so its not like a usual fabric barrier. Has anyone any idea what it's used for and where I could buy another roll of it? Thanks.

I have my 2021 Niro EV a month now and every so often I will turn off the car, go to get out and the car will continue to bleep until i get out and close the door, at which point it will stop. Its the bleep you'll hear if you get in and start the car without your seatbelt on and I have absolutely no idea what this bleeping is warning me about.

There is nothing displayed on the dash other than the normal trip summary, the lights are on auto so not on, the warning about a child in the back is also turned off, the hand brake is on but I don't think it beeps if its off anyway.

Has anyone any idea what this bleep is warning me about?? thanks

I seen some posts on this but not recently, the scheme where NI dealers can bring in a UK car and then we can import it without VAT using the SAD document, is that finished now?

If finished is there any word on it reopening?

This might be a known scam but I haven't encountered it before.

Buyer messages you and asks questions about the car and arranges a time to come view the car, then asks would you run a motor check on the car for their piece of mind, they send a link to vehiclescheck .com which is a scam site that will charge you and probably steal your details.

Pretty obvious when its a car for sale for a few grand but if someone was trying to get rid of a car for 20k then I could see someone falling for it.

What do you put down as your place of birth? Is it the town the hospital was in, is it where your parents lived at that time? What if (like me) I was born in a hospital in a different county to where I lived growing up.

I have always put down the county the hospital was in but am I wrong?

You can check what your repayments are using this calculator, this is assuming you have no allowances (even they even still exist).

I've a mortgage with EBS, on a fixed rate and I noticed the repayments were slightly higher than expected, so left it a few months and still the same, no insurance, no protection or anything else making up the repayment. I did the calculations using the above link and was 100% sure what was coming out of my bank every month is wrong, I spoke with the branch and they said it was correct, spoke to the branch manager, checked the system and all was correct.

Spoke to head office, I even pointed to the calculator on their own website and they said "the calculator on the website is for illustration purpose and might not be right!!!" I'm absolutely livid and because their system says my repayments are correct then they won't listen to anything else. I've a compliant open but I urge everyone else to check their own, not matter the bank of fixed or SVR, check you are paying the correct amount.

Difference in what the bank are taking out of my account and the calculator is €70 per month

Just paid vrt for a car in imported to Ireland on Tuesday, I expected to be able to tax it and NCT it straight away, does it take a couple of days to show up on both systems?

TLDR: the battery number is either on a plate inside the boot of the car or if not it is on a "spec sheet" you can request that from the main dealer, the main dealer will tell you it's not on it, don't believe them.

I took a Kia Niro in from the UK last week, and when I went to the vrt office the staff asked for a "Battery Number" which they said they needed and should be able to get from the dealer. Spoke with my local Kia dealership and no they don't have the battery number, it's not a field on the spec sheet.

As it was a uk car they said to try Kia UK, same story, tired the dealership that sold it, nope. Spoke to revenue, spoke to the vrt customer service and a supervisor, basically they do need it and they are aware some vrt staff will just leave it blank of put in a random number, but they are making all staff enter the correct battery number for any ev import.

In the end I contact the local Kia dealership, the one where the service manager had told me they was no way for them to get the battery number short of stripping the battery out and looking at it. I bypassed the tech staff and spoke to a girl in admin who handles the vrt applications for the garage, she was much more sympathetic and had experienced some awkwardness from the same member of staff in the vrt office, so she went onto the system, an internal Kia system, entered the VIN number and pulled back the full spec sheet, there was the "Battery Serial No", thank fuck.

So if you are in the same situation, don't let the dealership tell you they don't have it, it's the default "I can't be bothered to look" answer.

Getting my EV Hyundai Kona Vrt'd today and they couldn't do it as they needed a spec sheet, the person said they needed the "battery number" and the only place to get it is a spec sheet from the main dealer.

As I understand it it's no problem to get this from a dealer and hopefully I'll get it tomorrow but have others who vrt'd an EV required one too?
