A few months after leaving the fridge turned off over the summer break, it starts leaking again. Still getting the intermittent sticky door when opening. Is it a rubber sealing issue?

"Leaking"? You mean air or water?

When it's absolutely hosing down outside and the recycling collectors leave the bin lids up.

Bin wash. No charge!

Trading a phone in on a new one at One.NZ - A fairly straightforward process, but a slightly flawed one.
The "One Wallet" (mine had $500ish in it after calculating the trade-in value of my son's old iPhone 11)

Yeah I wish there was more flexibility. My phone is two years old and works fine, but I have a similar amount in "One Wallet". My beloved Nexus 7 LTE finally died last year after going for a decade. I don't really need to replace it but thought why not use the credit for a cellular tablet. One Wallet is for phones only.

No doubt, something that is not immediately apparent?

Yeah and being pedantic, is there a huge difference technically between a phone and a tablet with cellular connectivity?

Water, as with the previous occurrence.

"I regret to say that we of the F.B.I. are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce." — J. Edgar Hoover

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell

The number of adverts in mobile games and the fact so many of them seem to be re-skinned versions of exactly the same basic game as well.

That reminds me. I've recently been subjected to ads on YouTube and I'm astounded by the sheer number of ads for medicine.

The inability to react to reactions in Teams or Messenger etc. Anyone with me?

Pi-hole is your friend. At home and on WiFi anyway.

Without the pi-hole the ads are unbearable , at work for example. 😆

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

Being ripped off. That really annoys me.

$32 for fish and chips.

Goodness gracious me! I read a meme thing just today: 10 chips! Thats the amount of chips I eat while I decide if I even want any chips!

And that looks more like 5 chips.

Delete cookies?! Are you insane?!

Please name and shame as I'd like to avoid ever making the same mistake of entering that establishment and expecting a fulfilling meal worthy of the price.

$32 at the local F&C shop would feed a family.

This needs more context, breadth and depth.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
