    At what point do you call it quits on a car?

    I can understand wanting to use genuine Volvo parts. Having owned an S60 for the last 15 years, which is known to eat suspension components, I've found genuine Volvo parts last longer. I would however have had the garage change the struts as well, because if they're changing springs, top mounts...

    Internal camera that I can look at through my phone with motion detection

    I would have said the Tapo TC70 for £21 would have done what you needed, but I see you've already bought the Reolink one.

    Limescale remover

    I've found HG Professional limescale remover works the best out of everything I've ever tried.

    Can I hack my dishwasher?

    Another vote for a restricted or blocked arm. It's either being stopped by a dish or utensil, or one or two of the ports are blocked.

    What nail/nail gun for fitting scotia?

    Titan TTB517STP 240v nailer and stapler from Screwfix. £40 or £32 for a refurb. I bought one to do the same thing as you and have used it for multiple things since. Was worth the £40 as far as I'm concerned.

    Condensation in bathroom

    The extractor fan is being overwhelmed. Whilst it may seem like it has good suction at the bathroom end with the tissue, I very much doubt is has any strength left at the exterior end after a ~7m run. Even Vent-Axia say 1.5m max is a good rule of thumb for an axial fan...

    Cheapest/best way of going UK to Brisbane, Australia?

    I would have said Singapore too, as I usually stop off there for a couple of nights, but with their current health related restrictions, I'd say pick somewhere else.

    Today is the 20th anniversary of the Big Nuke - OcUK are giving away a Ducky One 3 keyboard

    Been here since around 2001 when I was looking at building my first PC, obviously couldn't register, so did as soon it was possible. Fair few changes for me over the last 20 years, still come here every now and then, but not as often as I used to...Lurked around for 7 days a week! Not...

    Roses

    Lindt Lindor are rank, taste like off UHT milk. Worse than Hersheys vomit chocolate.

    Mobile phones, anyone else who doesn't need one?

    I could probably live without a smart phone, but a mobile phone of some sort to make a call or send a rudimentary text message when needed would come in handy. No chance do I need to send an animated emoji or an aubergine. Most of the time my phone sits in another room on silent, and I hardly...

    New neighbours get their Sainsbury's delivery at 7am every Saturday morning... argh!

    Just be thankful it's not a Tesco delivery, they're loud enough to wake the dead. They must have the doors adjusted and the latches replaced after every shift considering how they're treated.

    Longer hours, shorter life

    What's the most expensive item you've put in the rubbish?

    I assure you, I did. I don't feel the need to lie. **** phone anyway. Knew I should have stayed with an iPhone. Oh, I did the same with a blackberry once too. That was just crap. Monetary value of an item, not literal. The S10 was an exception in value. For example, I wont waste my time...

    What's the most expensive item you've put in the rubbish?

    Probably the most recent thing was a Samsung Galaxy S10....threw it in the bin after getting frustrated with android. Most of the time I just bin stuff that could easily be sold, it's just I CBA with the hassle of selling stuff for less than I earn an hour, so it's not worth my time.
