Heard the news and wanted to unflounce to post how sad I am to hear it.

Aram was one of the people who went out of their way to help me feel welcome when I started to go to forum drinks. A really nice dude. He could sense my social awkwardness and made little gestures to make me feel part of the gang. So sorry for Jenne and those who loved him.

Sigh.

More to the point, none of us know anything about this so seems a bit weird to be arguing who is more likely right or wrong.

Which was kind of my point in the first place. I suppose I was just a thing that we don't know what happened and that it doesn't necessarily have to come from a place of gender violence, misogyny or other societal toxicity....it could have been something else or a combination.

Anyway, my point still stands. A lot of people with severe mental health issues see things that are very real to them. Its not possible to reason or rationalise these things. Sure, some people might kill their wife and kids because they are awful people, but equally they might kill them because they are being chased by alien monsters trying to tear their throats out and desperately trying to stay alive.

I know literally nothing about this case so maybe I'm miles off the mark.

[deleted due to petulance and impoliteness]

Honestly mate, it wasn't petulance or impolite. It was a cuntish thing to say.

Feel free to dip into the Covid threads to catch up on what was a horrendous saga during the first lockdowns. I've been sharing the situation with this family member with forumengers for 8 years.

That’s a get out in 97%* of these cases. It’s toxic cunts and labelling them any different hurts people who truly need help.

*made up figure.

I have no doubt that there is a societal element and that there are many incidences of toxic cunts partaking in gender driven violence. I'm sure there is also a tendency to blame mental health when there were other issues at play...in some cases.

I'm going to duck out of this conversation because I'm speaking from a recent experience of a family member suffering a severe psychotic episode and causing risk to life. News thread on a cycling forum isn't the place for me to go into that.

Edit: what I will say is this...its pretty common for somebody to see things that do not exist during a crisis and this leads to a lot of terrible outcomes from unwell people who genuinely believe they are fighting for their lives.

Somebody in a severe mental health crisis.

Ha ha, of course you did. Hatbeard... professional fettler.

Didn't you mod your mega s to be silent? I could barely hear mine when it was printing next to my desk.

A sound proof enclosure is probably cheaper than noctua fans and new drivers tbh

Dishwasher?

I usually hate to reference somebody's intelligence but I think it's got to the point that it's reasonable to suggest that there's a good chance she is actually quite thick.

R48 is about £100pm isn't it? :D

Really appreciate the detailed replies @dbr and @Hefty

This is not something I know anything about so we have a fair bit of learning to do.

Floor is solid so will be a ballache to get into for insulation but as @hefty says, it sounds like it will be worthwhile in the end. If we're going to be going into the floor and making a load of dust we might as well do the wiring too. Its only a small place.

Awesome. Actually, I asked the wrong question I think but would really appreciate your opinion anyway.

We're (probably) buying a rural house. It is five miles from the gas grid so gas is a no go. It is currently reasonably well insulated (with lots of room for improvement) but with a little time and money spent should end up being well wrapped up.

Currently it is electric only throughout. I.e hot water cylinder and storage heaters.

If you have a rural home with no gas, does ASHP make sense for hot water and heating? Or should we be considering adding solar too?

We want to do this properly from the start which means doing disruptive stuff before we move our stuff in.

Anybody here with experience of installing an air source heat pump in a house?

I see this a lot in Greenwich Park and it triggers me a bit too. Not least of all because people on phone conversations aren't watching out for their dog take a shit or approach other leaded dogs.

Overall I reckon most of the uncollected dog shite in Greenwich Park is because of otherwise responsible dog owners being absorbed in phone conversations or otherwise not paying attention to their dogs

am not a heavy user but have to charge it every day

Not sure there has ever been a flagship phone that doesnt need to be charged every day.

Loads of research projects studying public sentiment will also be fucked.

There was drama but I can't really remember the details. Yes, ended all good.

I think the main issue was it being held by Brazilian customs and the buyer didnt realise there would be an import charge...and that they didn't tell him that it was on hold awaiting payment so he thought it had been lost.

Got to love the insured shipping out pricing most 'high street' brands...

I typically have to factor in 10% for shipping when sending watches insured to outside of the EU. The last time I did this was for a £3k Longines...cost £290 to ship to Brazil.

Fantastic read.

Really enjoyable to read an essay on problems the country is facing without (rightly) any mention of immigration.

Funnily enough, I've seen some of my left leaning friends write almost the same thing about Starmer!

Yeah, Sunak has had a shocker so far. It also reminds me how important it is for prime ministers to have charisma if they're going to brazen out a mess.

Maybe you guys are reading into it too much. Bloke used to be a member of a neo Nazi group when he was young. Regrets it and is ashamed of it. Not the first person to be a cunt and see the light. Hopefully not the last.
