Hello, I hope this is right place but please let me know where if not 😊

My flight from OPO > EDI was delayed so have raised a EU261 compensation request on Ryanair's website. Our original departure time was 05:55 but was delayed to 17:00.

The delay was due to "minor technical issue with the aircraft earlier today." Unsure how "earlier today" fits when our flight was so early in the morning.... It was fixed pretty quickly as it was delayed to 12:45 and got new gate number but then they delayed again to 17:00 but did not say why.

Claim seems to be approved as I got an email asking for my payment details. However, I've not been able to add copies of receipts for expenses when I first raised the claim and I don't see where else I can include it now that there's an update asking for payment details. Does anyone know how I can include that, please, or do I just take it straight to ADR? First time making a flight claim so unsure what to do even though I read through some other posts 😅

Thanks!

Hello!

Our heat pump's scheduled to be installed this week in Scotland, Monday-Friday, and seems it'll rain for most of the week. This is our first home and having this level of work being done inside the house. Of course we'll offer water and move things out of the way before they start but wondering do you guys prepare anything for the installers during their work hours (i.e. lunch, snacks, etc)?

I think maybe it'll help them do a better job but my husband said it depends on the person as sometimes they just want to focus on getting the work done.

Thanks!

I have a custom keychain and get prompted for the password when I run a build on Xcode. Is there a way to put the password in Keychain Access then have it unlock with login?

The custom keychain’s settings already have “Lock after” and “Lock when sleeping” unticked. I feel a script shouldn’t be needed for this but maybe I’m mistaken

I went to coding bootcamp and was in another SWE team for 2 years (backend), <2 years with this team but I feel I want to leave already. I’m a SWE in mobile app team now, we’re a small team and stretched quite thin.

I do enjoy working on the app and was doing well but now I’m struggling. I was tasked with building a virtual machine for the team but I’m not enjoying it at all and still at it weeks later. I tried to be open minded and saw it as learning opportunity but it’s really above my head and I just find myself growing disheartened, discouraged, disappointed.

When I was tasked with this, I said I don’t know anything about it and my team lead started it said he’d help support but I feel like he didn’t support me enough when I went to him. He said he used copilot to help him so I also used Copilot to continue with the work but often get stuck for a long time. When I go for help, we don’t pair-program, he just asks questions I guess to help me think of solutions but I’m at wit’s end by this point…

I really hate doing devops but we don’t have a devops team so we all must partake in it so won’t escape it. I’ve not touched code for the app in weeks because of trying to build this. It’s just not my strength and I don’t enjoy it.

I think maybe if I was in a bigger team with more mobile app engineers or if there was an actual devops team, I’ll be happier but I don’t know. This is my first company so I don’t know if this is normal so we’re all more well-rounded or there are better companies out there. But job market is abysmal and I don’t think I can handle all the interview rounds… Please share your wisdom with this depleted woman…

Hello! I'm back to researching heat pumps for our home as our fixed tariff is ending soon.

We live in a 121 m^(2) 4-bed detached house and installed 6.675 kW solar + 10.36 kW battery last summer; we qualify for the £7500 grant + £7500 loan in Scotland.

Heatgeek, EON, and Octopus don't install in our area so narrowed to quotes from British Gas and two local MCS-certified local installers who came and did a survey.

1. All three survey's heat loss calculations are slightly different so not sure which one to trust... Do months/weather impact heat loss calculation results?
2. Our current hot water tank is 150L and with it being upgraded to 250L, I'm quite worried about the size and weight fitting in the cupboard. I also don't like the idea of a hot water tank on the upper floor as my BIL's exploded and flooded their home 😱 Local installer 2's quote includes install new hot water tank to the garage as it's near enough directly above new location so I'm leaning towards them. British Gas said they don't install in garages; local installer 1 said they could also install in garage but it'd be simpler to stick with the original location. Is it weird to install it in the garage?
3. Local installers can also install Vaillant aroTHERM plus but would be an extra £1500-2000, is the upgrade worth it from Grant? They both said Grant is also good but are competitively priced as they're newer on the market etc. I've seen posts about both and seems okay to stick to Grant and save money but others have said Vaillant is worth the extra costs...
4. British Gas and local installer 1 said designer radiators downstairs aren't big enough for size of rooms so would need replacing whereas the original radiators throughout are fine. Local installer 2 said the original radiators need replacing as they run on higher temperatures so not as inefficient; I'm not sure who to trust regarding this.
5. We have more quotes from other local installers but they're all around £17k for Vaillant so seems to be the going rate around here. My neighbour installed ASHP last year and said all installers are gonna be around £15k. Should I get more quotes if these three don't seem right? 😅

Sorry for so many questions, just wanna make sure I choose the right installer so bit anxious 😬 Your insights/advice would be much appreciated, thank you! 💗
