Just to be clear ! SWMBO choose the tank ! 😊🙄

Trying to make it neat so as little visible pipe work . Ground around drain is ‘low’ so will be back filled to drain cover height .

I could stick a traditional down pipe diverter on - but getting the ‘ pass thru ‘ to that drain is tricky .

Or do I just estimate a rough circular place on the water butt top / rear cut it and be done !?

I’ve got a bender .. fitting - but tight to say the least - but “ do able “ Cant get the butt tighter to the wall so if I cut this down it would be going into the edge I.e wall and the top - cut big hole essentially in top of tank

Related to another thread - but I like new content . Have a nice large water tank in place . You can see how ‘tight’ the gutter outlet is . My plan was to “ somehow” get that into the tank . But it’s a bit of an issue as you can see . Then the tank overflow is a 50mm pipe running into that drain chamber and buried . This ok ?

Hmmmm . Have package detection in current model . Hardly works . Has lots of ‘features’ but not implemented . I’ll pass . Though I reckon I can design and program exactly what I need …. ( another project for another day ! )

I think the requirement and the expectation do need to be managed. "write a pac-man game for my Mac" is a little bit broad!! The fact it is written and maybe doesn't compile first time, or the keyboard handler doesn't work or it all flickers is still incredible. Just keep giving it feedback as detailed as possible and build on that in my experience brings fantastic results. By default chat writes code that's easier for humans to follow ( as it told me ). I ask for optimised , efficient code - don't worry about readability .

Plenty of rain last night for sure . Didn’t witness it . But bone dry 😀

If the API always returns timestamps like 2025-09-04T12:30:00+00:00 then you can simply do: from datetime import datetime dt = datetime.fromisoformat(s) If the API sometimes returns timestamps with Z (like 2025-09-04T12:30:00Z) or other quirks, then it’s safer to use: from dateutil import parser dt = parser.isoparse(s) That’s the clean way — either use fromisoformat for strict ISO strings, or dateutil.isoparse for more flexible parsing. I think the point here is if you put the errors/ faults back in to chat over a few attempt it would generate what you want . Is it worth it for the effort ? . Maybe not if you are fluent in the code / method yourself . But if you’ve never done python nor understand the issue - but need this thing done for you - then clearly this is beneficial.

A typical Friday night …

Do you know - that’s such a wanky (expletive deleted) thing to say that I’m going to agree

I was waiting for that one...

But what will you all joke about /take the piss if it is fixed? No more "leaky walk on glazing " jokes - I think half the members on here will cancel their subscription.
