New bug? Just crafted banners and respawn

Coming out of the crafter I couldn’t do anything other than turn, walk and drop things from inventory. Couldn’t run, couldn’t get guns out, couldn’t crouch, nothing.

Had the quote following my post a few days ago..

Following my earlier post (https://www.reddit.com/r/airconUK/comments/1voace9/have\_someone\_coming\_monday\_to\_do\_a\_quote/) , I've now had the first quote for air con at home and would appreciate people's thoughts.

House is 93m² over two floors. Unfortunately there's nowhere sensible for an upstairs unit on the landing, so it would need to go in the master bedroom.

Installer has recommended one multi-split system with:

  • 3.5kW unit in lounge
  • 2.5kW unit in master bedroom
  • Optional 2.5kW unit in second bedroom
  • Outdoor condenser mounted on brackets at the side of the house
  • Wi-Fi included
  • New distribution board/electrical supply included
  • All installation, materials, testing and commissioning included
  • External pipework in black trunking Prices:

Midea
2 indoor units: £4,375
3 indoor units: £5,495

Hitachi
2 indoor units: £4,580
3 indoor units: £5,871

No VAT on the above.

The Midea proposed is the Solstice range and the Hitachi literature supplied is for the airHome 400.

Thoughts on Midea Solstice vs Hitachi airHome? The three-unit Hitachi installation is only £376 more?

The bit I'm less keen on is the warranty: one year parts and labour followed by two years manufacturer's parts-only, conditional on regular maintenance.

I'm not planning to install until autumn/winter, so I'll be getting another couple of quotes as well.

(Yes, I used AI to prep this and remove any personal information about me or the installer)

Have someone coming Monday to do a quote

For a split unit, ideally one downstairs and one upstairs. In simple terms what do I need to know and ask do I don’t look like a complete AC noob?

Thanks!

Just a little extra to help while it's so dry (and there's a hosepipe ban on)..

We've started keeping a watering can in the shower, to catch water that would have gone down the drain anyway. It's kept at the back against the wall and mainly catches the edge of the fall from the overhead shower, so its pretty clean.

We then use this to water the plants.

I know you can fill it up from the tap, during a hosepipe ban, but this water would have gone down the drain anyway.

Going to get a water butt next and top it up with this, even when/if it starts to get wetter again.

Hope this doesnt break any of the sub's rules.

My wife has recently become a team manager

For the first time in her career. Small team of 4. Does anyone have any recommendations for good books that cover the basics of team management - dummies guide, sort of thing?

Not been a kid for a long time..

But still can’t easily explain to people ‘where I’m from’ and realised, when talking about the World Cup with someone today, that that will never change.

Old workplace pensions that are underperforming and not being contributed to..

Move them to current workplace pension or open a SIPP and ETF them? Need another 15 years or so. None have any special benefits.

Skoda battery level not being recognised by Ohme, this is the reply from customer support

Thank you for your message.

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with Ohme recognising the battery status.

As an Ohme Labs feature, communication directly through your vehicle (via API) is still in development. Due to limitations imposed by vehicle manufacturers, it may not work as intended from time to time.

In this case, we therefore recommend you continue using Ohme as a smart charger without the API integration (by clicking "Unpair my Skoda", then "Unpair now").

  1. Once disconnected, it will ask you to Set the battery level you want to reach. (for example 80%).
  2. Once this has been added, confirm your "Current EV Battery Level" when you plug-in, which you can find on your EV dashboard, or EV Manufacturers App.
  3. Ohme will now create a charging schedule based on these settings!

Once we have this resolved we will send communications out to all affected users. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue refining this exciting feature.

Does this affect all VW cars?

It does, our tech team are well aware of the issue and they are working on it

Are Brits getting louder and lounger?

*louder and louder

Noticing this more and more on my train based commute into London - people having conversations at volumes the whole carriage can hear. I expect this from our cousins across the pond but surely we have indoor voices and don’t need to share our business with the general public.

Worldbuilding - what would you like to see?

Just rewatched 2024's Civil War and it really leaves me wanting to know more about the world this movie exists in. What happened to the rest of the world when the US went into civil war, what happened outside of the road trip these journalists are on.. on the macro level. Same with the 5 years of the Snap in Avengers - what was the world like?

Any other movies that have left you curious about the world?

Can't always use mic so rely on the ping system a lot, and it works well, but personally I'd like to see a few more added:

  • Nope, not hot dropping in Fragment/Estates/Quarantine Zone, I'll join you if you survive
  • Hey, this is my loot bin, find your own
  • For someone sporting those badges you sure went down fast
  • I think they're cheating. Oh, I'm down. Yep, they're definitely cheating.
  • Seriously bro, he's 1HP
  • Dude, I'm not done looting!
  • Thank you for not dropping even though you're down. We'll get you back in the game
  • RUN!
  • Eh, guys, the ring is coming, time to go!
  • Oh great, an Octane and a Wraith. We all know how this is going to end.
  • Guys? I don't have any movement abilities, wait up!
  • No, I need this one very specific gun or I can't play properly.
  • Don't push alone!
  • Good luck, have fun, don't die
