  • When you hold a vote you get suggestions like Mappy mcmapface. Actually, that could work....

  • No, the honey is on a sort of shelf outside and there's a box for you to put the money in. You could steal the moneybox and the honey but in civilised society it doesnt happen. This system is big for eggs around where I live - spare eggs are sold on an honesty basis at the end of driveways and if you are a really good customer you should return the eggboxes for reuse.

  • The guiness book of records had an entry for the worst spelling in the old days before the book was dumbed down. Trying to spell 'usage' the incorrect attempt was youzitch achieving only one correct letter.

  • If you are polite to a potential scammer on the phone or on the internet, you are giving them a chance to persuade you into being scammed. Block at will.

  • I'm in the UK and youtube blocked it for me too. I used windscribe a free VPN to pretend I was in the US and it showed fine.

  • Maybe you dont have too many extra fees, but when you use your visa card or MasterCard to buy from a merchant, 3% of the purchase price is paid by the merchant to visa/MasterCard. In the long run that puts prices up because the vendor is passing on those costs to you, the buyer. Its a tricky issue because if you pay cash, the shop has to store, transport securely, and pay to deposit the cash into a business bank account. That might cost around 3% of their takings too. The feeling here is that if you buy 100 pounds worth of shopping, it doesn't cost visa/MasterCard anything like 3 pounds to process that payment, more like a few pence. So perhaps we are being taken advantage of?

  • Swearing is brilliant if you smash your thumb with a hammer, or break something expensive. If you swear all the time in normal conversation you don't have any special words left to use when those things I mentioned happen.

  • I had an objection to google pay for a while, and discovered Barclaycard (credit card in the uk) use an app which would act as a replacement for google pay. Worked perfectly. Of course then I found out how terrible barclays bank is for the environment, so I tap my co-op credit card now. Interestingly, google pay takes nothing when you use them to buy stuff, Applepay grab 0.25% as a transaction fee. Makes them billions per year, and the cost is shared by all of us.

  • Just change your number to something like 07777777777. That will work for the UK.

  • Every extra oil well widens the availability of the product, that's bad. Please stop drilling.

  • I don't think it's possible to quit smoking twice. The first time, there was just a longer gap between cigarettes.

  • Catenary is the magic word here

  • if the device switches off while in use on charge, that's too slow. if the device switches off whilst charging because it overheats, that's too fast. in between, forget it, the electronics will handle everything, and yes slower charging is better for battery life but you needn't obsess over the difference, it's there but unquantifi able. if you've heard anything other than this advice and you believe what you've heard, there's not much point in people here trying to guide you.

  • Ah, but which brand of washing machine, that's what we're all about here in this thread!

  • check the waste pipes carrying water away from the machine because there's a blockage somewhere.

  • dammit i said the same thing independently, but you were first by 12 hours. hats off to you, sir !

  • it was only 15cm long. that's at best a Master Dagger, not a master sword! still too long to be legal to carry out in public though.

  • there's no victory here - in the article it states that at least one still law requirse floppy disks must continue to be used.
