Re: Tesla Cyberpuke

I do wonder what goes on behind the scenes at Tesla and Starlink with investors who must be nervous about what Musk will do from one moment to the next. Not to mention what he's done to Twitter.

Re: The House Projects Thread

Re: The House Projects Thread

Nearly there with the house... got the home report done today and on the face of it, kind of looks like another racket. Pay someone £700 for them to tell you everything you know. "We can confirm it's a 20 year old house. It has some bathrooms with sinks and baths in them. We've no idea if they'...
