I think Voyager 1 is also kaput now. Yes, sadly... https://blogs.nasa.gov/sunspot/2023/12/12/engineers-working-to-resolve-issue-with-voyager-1-computer/ Interestingly, as the Earth moves faster than the Voyager's, at the moment, Voyager 1 is actually getting closer to the earth... Reports of my dem...

I gave my garden shed a little TLC over the weekend with a new felt roof and new shelving. It's still far too small for my needs but at least it's dry. When clearing it out. I saw the extend of the leaking - I've lost a Dremel set, a Halfords ratchet set and a crate full of painting and decorating s...

Yeah but to be honest, every review I’ve read about benefits, pros and cons etc just talks in very general terms. And the few people I know who have them rave about this and that feature, claim the you don’t miss the things you can’t do etc. Makes me think they’re justifying the expense to themselves

I’m in the market for a decent quality Charcoal BBQ but the choices are really limited. There are the ceramic types, well north of a grand and you’ve got your Webber’s (but I already have one of those) An absolute must have feature is a coal rack or a cooking rack that’s height adjustable but as I s...

Whilst I applaud you ownership of 4 mowers, I’m not going to lie, I’d be paying someone to do it if I had your place.

Danny Trejo on Saturday Kitchen Live making Prawn Taco’s is about as random as you can get…

Out of sight, out of mind!!

Start a compost set up maybe?? You’ve got the space

Do you do all the fiddly bits first, like cutting in paint, then use the ride-on for the broad sweeps ??

I think that's the way I'd do it...

And how many times do you need to empty the ride on for that garden? I presume you have several Green Bins ?

I found that it was easier to manage that stuff as I moved up as I have more autonomy. Yeah that's true... But in the past couple of years I've had two very positive experiences where they "put their money where their mouth is" 1. People left the company (employees and contractors) so I i...

From a personal perspective, I work far fewer hours than I did 20 years ago - probably 45 to 50 down to strictly 37.5 And my working life is far less stressful as my employer considers work life balance and mental health very highly. This despite being a lot more “senior” now But I get this isn’t ne...

Is that true ??

I would say that considering depressed pet leave isn’t a thing then that example isn’t really relevant. It’s just someone asking a stupid question. I just came across an interesting thread on how this kind of policy talk works. https://x.com/alexandraerin/status/1004400861865488384?s=46&t=w0OL1...

As it typical of this government (or any government really) this is a ham fisted introduction to the policy change. However, in the background, I do think there are certain aspects of modern life which need to be "nipped in the bud" somewhat before Pandora's box is opened and can't be shut...

My TikTok feed is overrun with these. Some of them are absolutely hilarious

I love it when they say in ads for cars like that “Lady owner”. Like it’s only be used to ferry some dotty old retiree to the WI and her meals on wheels round. :lol: The previous lady owner is a petrolhead - people who buy 8 year old M5’s and then drive them for another 8 years are petrol heads. Her...

Yeah I get the "Discussing a topic - get advert for it" all the time. As I'm boring and have no life, I might pop back on Saturday morning and try with something else. Although as I've now said I'll do it I've compromised any results :lol: I do need weed killer that can be sprayed on grass...

Check what location data your phone’s sending. Geotargeted advertising has been a thing for ages. https://mailchimp.com/resources/what-is-geotargeting/ Interesting - I hadn't checked that in a while and it's interesting just how many apps want location data that have no real need for it - Sonos app...

Get the hell away from my phone Simon...

so you're saying coincidence ???

How much are amazon paying you???

Everyone with a tinfoil had knows that Zuckerberg and Bezios are listening into to everything we say on our phones but I had an unusual one today which suggests 3rd party involvement in the survelan... Sorry, the targeted marketing of products and services I might like. I was in the garden centre on...
