Don't hit Ireland on your way out! Even Iceland is considered Europe and not North American though it straddles both plates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Peeve: Some update to my "smart home hub" system caused my room lights to go "Pure white". I don't have a clue what color they were before. "Soft White" will have to do. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's called warm white 💡 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peeve: Joe got fired when it wasn't his fault and Cannon Guy got fired (haha) when he shouldn't have either. Further peeve: The Traitors won't be so good next time either. I am not watching The Apprentice, or The Traitors, but happened to see snippets when watching Gogglebox a couple of weeks ago. The Apprentice looks quite good for next Thursday as one team are doing something in a prison!!! The Piano has potential. At least Claudia Winkleman has her own style, albeit not exactly beauty enhancing, and I think there will be far fewer duck lips on this programme. Watching retro TV on ITV3 & 4 and Challenge seems to be the safest place for me to be. It actually feels like such a relief to see normal human teeth, etc. Edited February 16, 2023 by Marigold Devin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britain is still part of Europe, the continent, but we have left the European Union recently. I prefer 1am and 1pm rather than 01:00 and 13:00 but I can live with either. I can still convert decimal currency back into pre-decimal. I thought it was only going to be temporary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orwar Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Peeve: when you open a link to an article, only to have a huge pop-up thing telling you that you must subscribe to the site to read the articles, and that you can sign up now for only €5 a month or get a discount if you sign up for a quarter or a year at once. How the actual Hell am I supposed to know whether it's worth €5 a month if I can't preview even the first paragraph of a single article? Besides, in the case of news articles it's unlikely that they're the only place where I can read it, one quick news search later and I could read all about it elsewhere - for free. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you quickly crank the volume back up again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a lot of the "linked by Google" articles I've seen are "free to read" - at least, some of these companies let you read a certain number of articles with a message, "You have X free articles to read for this month", etc.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I clicked said link only to find that the referenced article is behind a paywall. I highly doubt that there are that many folks in the company that are willing to pay to read articles from that website. Likely only the top execs and then a few other random folks here and there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna Bliss Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I am very disturbed -- someone was harassing people on my region yesterday with a demo ding dong. I mean they couldn't even manage to buy one...what has become of griefers these days? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
