Just imagining you getting an entire naan, unpackaged, through the letterbox, via royal mail.

There's gotta be a market for that right? Just an app where you press a button and it sends someone to shove a naan through your letterbox?

"I've been very clear" absolutely instaneously boils my piss every time I see or hear it because it's always followed by impenetrable roundabout noncommittal nonsense. It happens often enough that you could call it Pissboil's Law or something.

Mr Starmer, do you know where Shrek is?

Look, I've been very clear. It wouldn't be inaccurate to assume that I couldn't exactly not say that it is or isn't almost partially incorrect that I know where Shrek is. On the contrary, I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that in no way with any amount of uncertainty that I undeniably do or do not know where he shouldn't probably be, if that indeed wasn't where he isn't. Even if he wasn't at where I knew he was, that'd mean I'd really have to know where he wasn't.

I'm not sure if there's a full plumbing thread but this is a minor problem so I thought I'd ask here.

I have an heated towel rail in my bathroom that is leaking. It's a slow leak, just the occasional drip from what I can see. How do I fix it?

The leak is coming, from what I can tell, from the thick horizontal cylinder pointing into the center of the radiator.

This will be my first time doing any plumbing so step by step instructions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

e- i quoted the wrong post :classiclol:

replacing the valve is very simple, the rubber O- rings are very often the first point of failure and will cause a leak when they perish. they are threaded and screw in and out with a bit of gumption - you'll want to liberally wrap up the thread on the new one with ptfe to give it a bit of longevity. draining down and refilling a sealed heating system can be a massive pain depending on how big your system is and whether you fully drain it or not, as inevitably once you've refilled it to pressure and bled the air you'll have to faff about rebalancing the radiators. it's not complex by any means but it's not a five minute job

I bet even people ITT would be in a pandemonious uproar if their house dropped 45% and they suddenly couldn't move due to being locked into mortgages etc.

suddenly finding yourself in a loan arrangement where the amount of money you owe the bank is now significantly more than the asset it's leveraged against would be a bit of a shock

Private Speech posted:

Basically the reason mortgages are so much better than renting is that you only ever expect house prices to go up. Disproportionally so compared to your income.

I'd argue the reason mortgages are better than renting is that at the end of it all you are now the owner of your pile of bricks and mortar, instead of still having spent a pile of money but for somebody else to achieve that goal.

I imagine if your goal is to sell for profit and move up in size or make a tidy sum for your pockets every time as a flipper then sure, the infinite growth paradigm is desirable

They're actually a very good company. When I bought my chair I went to the showroom to try out their range before I committed. I mentioned that I'd been recommended the Aeron. The saleswoman told me that the Aeron was chiefly aimed at execs who wanted to show off the money, and instead directed me to my Mirra because it was just as good but significantly cheaper. She also didn't need to get a demo model out because her own office chair was a Mirra. Given that she'd have got a bigger commission for the chair I was asking for, that's bloody good customer service. Herman Miller stand firmly behind their products, but only because you're sitting on them.

isn't this just Anchoring? The presence of an insanely high price option makes the previous tier seem reasonable by comparison
