All these intelligent car owners who don't realise air conditioning will not activate full stop under about 5C.

You want clear windows? Pour lukewarm water onto them and wipe it off. You want to get rid of the fog inside? Towel.

Pouring water on the windows if they are frozen is not a good idea though

Lukewarm is fine. Not hot tho.

Pouring boiling hot water from a kettle is a bad idea. Normal warm water is fine. If heat + cold window was a bad idea then we wouldn't blast hot air onto them.

Loosing all your notes on upgrading FreddysHouse to the latest Xenforo version and having to do it all a fucking gain. I might take a punt at upgrading tomorrow morning, on my dev platform it took about an hour but that is not running on fast SSDs.

Latest version in the usual place: https://testforums2.freddyshouse.com

On the Kettle or the windscreen?

Nah, I'm sure it'll be fine:

UK government backs plan to criminalise sexual harassment in street

Home secretary supports bill aimed at criminalising harassment of women in public

www.theguardian.com

Whilst nobody likes to see women harrassed I can't see this going well:

The backbencher’s bill aims to criminalise behaviour such as deliberately walking closely behind someone as they walk home at night ...

fair enough, it's pretty horrid, but coupled with:

Creasy, the Labour MP for Walthamstow, said she would table amendments to the bill to ensure it covered “foreseeable harm”, so offenders could not claim they did not have any intent to cause offence. “We have to deal with a culture where women are still called to account for their behaviour when they are offended against, and to take out of the question the idea that men accidentally harass women.”

or

"If she took offence or was scared, no matter the intent of the guy, then he's a criminal".

I mean, I can't possibly envision a situation where I'd ever have walked behind a girl for a while, lost in my own thoughts...

Yeah, thoughtcrime stuff. I can certainly remember situations where all I've wanted to do is get past a woman dawdling along and couldn't step off the pavement to get around her without getting run over, for example.

Seen that, and the question I ask myself is, why was he being filmed?

Couldn't be for a viral video, perhaps...

Yeah, think it's on purpose tbh.

We always run a warm tap and fill the kettle or a big bowl and use that. Otherwise we're waiting 20 minutes to get the ice off.

Of course, nowadays where I live, if it's icy, we ain't going anywhere. Just can't risk it.

 

[Tom]

Funny how there's no sound, which would identify someone whacking it with a glass hammer. Or that the window is cropped so you can't see all of it. Or that the camera is on a tripod.

How to defrost a car windscreen - quick step-by-step guide | The AA

Find the best way to defrost your car windscreen quickly. Don't pour hot water onto the windshield or leave the engine running - follow these steps instead.

www.theaa.com

The AA say to avoid using even lukewarm water. Low risk but still potential for cracks.

With a good ice scraper it takes less than a minute.

Exactly, along with a nice pair of warm gloves. Fuck using any deicer or water.

 

[Ormorof]

My old car (Ford Focus) had some sort of wires in front window was brilliant, even at -20 or heavy snow it just dealt with it no scraping needed

Current car does not have it and its a pain

My o/h's old car had that, but you could see them when you were driving and I found it annoying. Rather just clear the ice for the few days a year you have to

I have this in my fiesta (2011), de-ices in a minute or two with no extra effort.

Went into a electronics dealership over the weekend, one who had:

- LG G2 (65")
- LG C2 (65")
- Samsung S95B (65")
- Respective soundbars for both (9.1.4 + 11.1.4)

Was hoping to make a choice based on my next media upgrades.

Left feeling even more lost. They both look good and all sound good. There's nothing really between the pricing either.

God dammit.

Got the ear;ier LG GX - speakers built in are beter than the C so I didn't need a sound bar. Love it. 120fps 4k gaming.

 

[Raven]

Sound bars are far superior for things like Dolby Atmos etc, TV speakers are as much use as tits on a pig, I have an older LG, love it, friend has a newer, top of the line LG, amazing thing.

That was the point of the GX though - it's the same panel as the CX, but a few hundred quid more expensive because they've got a pile of really good small speakers built in for people who don't want to ugly their place up with a sound bar. It's a sort of "photo frame" TV.

The new coke caps, that are attached to the bottle, reason given that more people will recycle the cap.

I mean, what the fuck else are people doing with the cap? When the bottle is empty, squeeze air out, put lid back on, throw in recycling.

Fuck me, I thought it was a manufacturing fault with me twisting the cap off. Didn't realise it was to enforce recycling of the cap!

They would have to recycle the bottle first for it to matter.

 

[Deebs]

To be fair I do empty any liquid in the bottle and lightly screw the cap on (to allow air to escape if squashed) before throwing it in the recycle bin.

 

[Overdriven]

Unless it's food waste we literally throw everything into recycling. We have a tiny brown bin and a MASSIVE recycling one. Works for us.

As do I and no doubt many here but there are a sizable amount who don't which is even harder when not at home.

 

[Aoami]

Do you check if things are recyclable first? I'd suggest filling up the recycling bin with stuff that cannot be recycled is worse than recycling nothing at all?
