Heatpumps installed less than 24 hours ago and had to call the installer twice :(

Fuse tripped from a short. Now one of the inside units has started dripping water.

When busy bodies come up and question why you are parking in a disability spot because you aren't disabled and drive a Tesla, they are right I'm not, my wife is ... then they do this amazing diagnosis of her condition by just looking at her and decide she is not disabled enough and we should move the car so people who are more disabled can use the spot.

As long as you have a mobility parking permit, then its none of their business.

geoffwnz: The camera is fixed angle and not able to be adjusted at all, so that was a clear failure of design.

That sort of thing is fairly common, it seems. I have a computer display with built-in camera, and I need to tilt the screen up towards the ceiling if I want to use it for a video call. Who designs these things?!

Because the top of the screen should always be at eye level.

From my experience in looking after disabled people, an awful lot of non-disabled people will pull into disabled parking lots, "no-one was using it", "it's only for a few minutes", the excuses are endless. Unfortunately by driving a Tesla, or BMW, or SUV, you're fitting the profile of the typical person who takes a disabled person's spot...

You missed out Race, Age, Gender, Religion, Nationality and Location from your pathetic piece of stereotyping. Attitudes like that just gat an innocent person’s car keyed in a parking lot. By the way I drive a 10 yo Camry.

The only thing parking in a disabled park really proves is you are an ignorant A’hole.

I am disabled and one of our vehicles is SUV and will park, with permit. I guess I shouldn’t because disabled only have small old hatchbacks.

When you have an interest in a thread, you see someone has recently posted there, you go to have a look and its just not there.

That was me. I misread a post, replied to it, then realised my reply didn't make sense and deleted it.

Was wondering that, maybe its just been deleted, but then should it show up like that, or (I forget), maybe you can't delete posts, you can only delete the contents, so where is it...

What can I say, me and thinking...

When you send a message (via a non-editable means) and notice the typo right after sending.

For bonus points, the message itself was a complaint about something small that really annoyed me.

I have done that too.

Me too quite often - but when you delete a post, your name still stays in the list. You can run but you can't hide.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
