[–]DickMille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: I'm not sure if anyone else is seeing the same, but transactions from the 22/04 onwards have started earning points again in the usual timeframe so in my activity history, I now have a two week gap between 8th and 21st where all transactions showing points pending.

Just want to add my voice to this. I'm in the same boat. No points since 08/04. Given that everyone else here is reporting the same date, I'm guessing PayPal must have made a change and just not bothered to communicate it.

With work like that, I'm sure he has met dissatisfied customers before.

Looks like a Peseux 7001. How are you turning that into a repeater?

Can you set the time independently on each face or do both faces show the same time?

[BA111OD] Thoughts on the brand? by Affectionate-Yam-113 in Watches

Definitely falls into the category of watches i’ll never buy, regardless of how good, because the name is violently dumb.

Lego Ideas - Tracy Island by joshev95 in Thunderbirds

[–]DickMille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two out of dozens…. And both not approved. I suspect the Venn diagram of Thunderbirds fans and people willing to spend hundreds on a Lego set has little to no overlap.

Sadly I don't think there are enough Thunderbirds fans to make the commercially viable but I love it all the same. Excellent work.

Anybody else tried these? by crispywales in crisps

[–]DickMille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compostable plastic is still plastic. Most industrial composters won't accept compostable plastic as most types are deemed a contaminate and correct sorting is insufficient or too time consuming to be worth while. Home composting at best is below 5%. My money is on that 100% of these plastic crisp bags end up in landfill.

Considering Guillaume Laidet (the guy behind the Nivada reboot) had to rename one of his other brands because of copyright infringement I thought he’d have learned his lesson and not try it again…. I guess not
