Best “chrome” effect paint

I have a classic car with a few chrome parts that I’m considering painting as A) chroming is prohibitively expensive and B) the car isn’t so original that it will affect value.

What are the best chrome effect paint options? I know it will be silver metallic rather than a deep chrome but better than pitted and/or rusty.

I’m in the UK if that changes anything…

Is using Anthropic models through Bedrock more stable/reliable?

We use Anthropic API for a core piece of our software and we see a lot of outages.

We are considering moving to Bedrock so that we can maintain EU data transfer - will it also be more reliable? I assume they host the model directly so an Anthropic outage shouldn't affect Bedrock?

Am I mistaken? Is Bedrock also unreliable?

Is there a way to install a water trap externally to stop drain smell?

EDIT: Question answered, I'm an idiot.

Strange question and apologies for my terminology.

Here's the issue - in our upstairs bathroom we have a sink (standard with u-bend trap) - this exits into the floor. Half way along, the shower joins the same waste pipe. However there is no 'trap' on the shower (just a shallow filter trap), it just flow straight into the waste pipe.

This goes straight out of the wall and into the stack pipe (from the toilet etc).

So my question is whether there is a way to install a trap externally? There is no way to fit one under the shower without full uninstalling it?

Any help appreciated!

Switching github repos (from individual to org account)

I had a live application attached to a personal GitHub account. That repo has now moved into an organisation GitHub account.

I need to swap the repo connection but getting conflicting advice about the env variables... Help docs say:

  • "Environment variables will stay intact on your Vercel project"

However when I go to reconnect the repo the warning says:

  • "Any data tied to your Git project (like branch-specific Environment Variables) may become misconfigured."

The repo is the same, just moved with the same branches etc not a whole new repo.

Am I about to nuke my site variables? If so, how can I save/export them?

Any advice appreciated...

OK, I’ve cross threaded the upper bracket of the rear shock mount on this Seat Ibiza (2015).

It’s apparently an M10 bolt but I don’t know the pitch. I have an M10x1.25 tap but it seems too fine.

Can anyone help ID it? Cheers!!

Edited to add answer: Thanks to @ntyperteasy - the thread is M10x1.5 coarse.
