Very sad. It seems he was arrested many times last year. Presumably all related to his mental health.

I remember Reactolite Rapide. They were glass and I always thought Transitions didn't perform as well.

Last year I found my Planar 3 was running slow after a couple of album sides. Turned out to be the capacitor on the power supply board. Found a replacement on eBay and it's been fine since then.

It even damaged Carlos Sainz's car enough to need an engine replacement for which he was penalised 10 grid places. Hardly seems fair.

How did you measure WiFi speed separately to the Starlink speed? I don't think my Speed Test app lets me do that.

I once donated a sandwich toaster to my work canteen for anyone to use. You might think that not much can go wrong with a sandwich toaster but it didn't take long for it to be trashed. Pretty sure nobody bothered to clean it either.

If you looked at the first post after my reply to Tim then I edited it. I couldn't see the image either. At first glance I thought yours was a half eaten piece of toast, then I zoomed in [emoji1787]

Until seeing yours and then Googling I had never seen a cribbage board with that layout. All the ones I have seen have been like this one.

Amazon delivery problems

It finally arrived at around 7pm. The map showing its position was available from about 2.15pm until the delivery so I could see it sitting outside the depot for hours before it started moving again. I have no idea why the customer services agent would not admit that it had been taken back to the depot. Just tell the truth!
The box was slightly damaged and the delivery guy pointed this out to me and gave me the option of sending it back. It was only cat treats and all the sachets were present and correct so I accepted it.

Amazon delivery problems

I have an Amazon delivery scheduled today and using the very handy tracking facility I could see exactly where my parcel was as it approached my address. I watched it reach 1 stop away in the street adjacent to mine then disappear from my zoomed in map. That was two hours ago. I can still see its position on the map after zooming out and it appears to be back at the Amazon depot.
I called customer services who I assume spoke to the depot and they assured me the parcel was still out for delivery. When I asked why it was back at the depot I was told to ignore the map and it would definitely be delivered by 10pm, the tracking info still says 5pm.
Smells of BS to me [emoji35]

Those bypasses on roundabouts only work properly when the bypass feeds into a dedicated lane. Having to merge with other traffic defeats the object.
