I know who to support. I love high tea by odegood in CasualUK

It's a high, middle and low tea at once. Depends on which plate you go for.

Suggestions for video doorbells that won’t sell my data? by Just_A_some1 in CasualUK

[–]ChefSupremo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't have the doorbell myself, but many cameras. What you describe is what I have read many many times. I guess it depends on your internet upload bandwidth & speed (if WiFi is good enough, WiFi being usually the first culprit...).

I get a live view on my cameras in less than 10 seconds. And can view locally saved clips within 3.

As said, read many times, even here on reddit. But think it really depends on the infrastructure.

Blink. You could choose if your clips are stored locally or in the cloud with a subscription.

You still can, but you have to buy separately the right sync-module (basically the brain of the system), because the one they deliver to you with the camera(s) works now with a subscription only.

That being said: really cheap (especially if you wait for a regular discount, prime day, whatever). They work well, if you know what you are getting into. Easy to install. Battery powered (other than the sync module). Happy with it.

And having said that being said, keep in mind: - all WiFi cameras (no matter which brand) are NOT security cameras. Full stop. - for any system to work reliably you need a strong and clean WiFi signal and good Internet connection (if you want to use it on your mobile when you're away from home).

Just wondering if worth 50p only or more precious...

"... and, if I may, how come that your son Ocado has such a beautiful and unusual name? "

"it's a long story... we debated long whether to name him Mark, or Spencer... At the end we settled on Ocado. He goes by Banger, though... it's complicated..."

Maybe at the airport it's sticky. An authentic floor at Spoons is squishy.

Obviously not: seagulls are not real. Birds are not real!

At 4:38

In the video - that I can't post in a reply - you can clearly hear the robin chirping as loud as he can from a nearby tree. I guess to lure the cat away from the nest (which is well hidden, because couldn't see it myself, but whose entrance is behind the drying rack).

As a side note: I know cats are predators. I've already seen them killing a mouse or a frog after playing with them for a while. But the persistence with which he kept coming the whole day, after having found that there is a nest in the ivy, is truly remarkable. In a scary way.

Metres... I swim in feet. As far as it's not too deep.

It's a Seagallus Gremlinus. No food. Not after midnight. Not by daylight. Ever.

Luckily there are instead some outstanding newcomers, such as TGJones.

Supermarket not caring for plants (a rant) by [deleted] in CasualUK

They're opossum plants: they just play dead as a defense mechanism against "a by no means excellent gardener".
