@networkn The definition of insanity (attributed to Einstein) is doing the same thing over and over .... etc.





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

Well, it's reasonable to give a company a chance to rectify an issue, especially if that company wears the same brand as your device.

 

I will not be going back, but now there is a dispute over the refund!

Was the water sloshing over the shower tray edges because the drain was blocked?
Tenants do need to clean shower traps ... disgusting enough job...

Yes apparently water was reaching their ankles ;(( Did no one think that a small swimming pool in the shower was a problem? One of the flatmates texted me but didn’t mention the water pouring down the lights. My OMG moment came when I found the email with video. Plumber came and cleaned it out and I called the electrician as worried now about the electrics. Not sure it’s an insurance job if the cause is a blockage. The water was literally pouring not dripping...with sound effects. Would post the video if I could figure out how to from my mail.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Food Bag needs some recipe testers.

 

Tonight's says to prepare carrot and onion and set aside separately, only for the very next instruction to combine them in the same pot.

Reminds me of the scene from The IT Crowd where Moss emails the Fire Brigade regarding the fire in the office...

I usually separate and set aside the carrot tops and onion skins.  Maybe their instructions are aimed at people who need to order My Food Bag to cook something palatable?

When stubbornness, arrogance and/or ignorance prevails over common sense.





Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

Microsoft Time, although in this case it was Apple!

 

"About 12 seconds remaining". It took 36 minutes.

I like it when the "countdown" keeps going up.

 

EDIT: That reminded me of a program we used to use at work. When you installed it the progress bar went up to 105%.

You need to turn your CPU overclocking up to 11.
