  • Convince your partner that you need £600 for hardware box and then 4x£200 for hard drives (before HDDs became a mess, now those HDDs are impossible to find AND they are £480 off the back of the lorry).

    But cost aside, I know how to self host and solve most of the issues around it but I don’t know much and don’t have many plumbing tools, or carpentry, I can do some basic things but it will be shit and wonky.

    That’s why you pay for experts who can do what you cannot. For instance I need to probably replace threads and risers and I would not be able to do that myself without breaking the entire staircase (I tried to start)












  • Over here (across the pond), we got fruit and veg boxes being delivered weekly. You got a few companies that do it, some local, some country wise.

    Point is, if you see a raw fruit and veg, it’s probably less likely to be contaminated with some heavy metals. Not impossible but less likely.

    But yes, I do enjoy good old EU regulation for food safety. Any products that will say made in USA, will definitely not be bought by me.
