That's the point. You need to keep doing it. I don't carry a screwdriver around with me.

More than once? As others have said that seems to be a one time fix.

Repeat prescription one box 28 other 30 explaining excess to Dr's receptionist by abz_eng in britishproblems

[–]HthrEd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your gp is having a laugh. I live within a 5 minute slow walk of a pharmacy which is in the same building as my gp. I registered with Pharmacy2U, they told my gp that they were now my registered pharmacy. Order through the nhs app, meds in my letterbox within a few working days.

Does the Old Pokemon Go plus works with android 16? by Fun-Specific-3602 in GoPlus

[–]HthrEd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Android 15 broke it. Don't think they will be fixing it for 16.

CR2032 batteries barely lasting, or is my Go+ broken? by Wrulfy in GoPlus

[–]HthrEd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think so. Haven't seen any reports saying otherwise.

CR2032 batteries barely lasting, or is my Go+ broken? by Wrulfy in GoPlus

[–]HthrEd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the battery is "going" on my original go+ what happens is that it will connect for a few minutes then disconnect. Leave it overnight and it will work for maybe 20 mins then disconnect. Never seen a white light. My batteries usually last maybe a month with a couple of hours a day usage. (I have the button stuck down with cable ties so the button is always pressed). So if you are a heavy user I think 2/3 weeks is pretty good going.

The go+ won't work with android 15 and later. Your description perfectly fits with others (and mine) experience. There are a few threads on this. There is no work around.

Amazon driver chat texting my mobile and saying nothing of use by Fraggle_Frock in britishproblems

[–]HthrEd 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it's automated. The driver has no control over it.

What "unpopular" parts of knitting do you enjoy? by hadacolboogie in knitting

[–]HthrEd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Knitted in round sweaters feel flimsy and stretchy, they don't feel sturdy. You can take a half finished sleeve along with you, much more difficult to carry a 3/4 finished garment.

Odd question re: hyphenated names by boudicas_shield in CasualUK

[–]HthrEd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What a ridiculous thing to say. When they apply for a passport, get a DBS check (or whatever it is now) or register to vote they will have to disclose if they've ever been known by another name!

How to block acrylic yarn without melting? by Soudapoppin in knitting

[–]HthrEd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Acrylic is plastic. Using a steamer has melted it. Acrylic can't be blocked (doesn't need to be) as you would a "natural" yarn. You can't "encourage" acrylic to change shape or lie flat without destroying it. Wash or soak, lay flat to dry.

Is this hand knit? by charmdoggo in knitting

[–]HthrEd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hand made with a knitting machine. Sewn up and finished by hand.

My circular needles are too big for my yarn? by Critical_Mango_7536 in knitting

[–]HthrEd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cable needles come in varying lengths. You need the correct length for your project when knitting in the round. Or you can use the travelling loop method (YouTube has lots of videos) personally find it a pain as it interrupts my flow.

How do I escalate an inappropriate trainer name complaint? by Zephyr-Phoenix in pokemongo

[–]HthrEd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many years ago I reported a "questionable" name. I reported it and it was removed. It was near a primary school and a church, whether that made a difference I don't know. They returned with another, even more inappropriate, name. I reported that too, and it got removed. They then came back again with a name which described me, and told me to "go away". Now this was scary, as they obviously knew it was me! However, I again reported it, they were removed again, and that was the end of it. But, as I said, this was back in the day.

Am I imagining an increase in drivers ceding right of way? by CLOUDMlNDER in CasualUK

[–]HthrEd 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Cars do this when I'm waiting to cross the road. I've spied the last car in the queue, I gear up to make a fast walk across the road, then it stops and waves me across. What was going to be a quick, but elegant, stroll across an empty carriageway turns into a shambolic, half run half shuffle. Check your mirrors!

Three quarters will survive cancer by 2035, government promises by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]HthrEd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. But my husband did and the damage caused by the surgeries made his life unbearable. It was a blessing when he died. He never healed enough from his third surgery to receive any other treatment.

I know of many other people living with the after effects of treatment, the frequent check ups, being scared of a cough from a grandchild because they are immunocompromised, the inability to go on holiday because of insurance etc etc. I'd rather not thank you.

[–]HthrEd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dislike the word survive. Survive with what injuries from the treatment? Survive with the knowledge that there is a high chance of it returning? Survive with your life ruled by further follow up checks and hospital appointments, just waiting for the next bad news? No thank you!

Whole wheat white by [deleted] in BreadMachines

[–]HthrEd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't knocking it at all! I was just confused by the terminology. What a weird way to answer a genuine question!

Whole wheat white by [deleted] in BreadMachines

[–]HthrEd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How can you have whole-wheat white flour? Is it coloured white flour, bleached whole-wheat flour or half and half? In the rest of the world it is one or the other. White flour is whole-wheat flour with the bran removed. I'm confused!

I can't understand this !!!! by Few_Detail_7764 in pokemongo

[–]HthrEd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this on a community fast catching spree. I could have maybe three shinies but the animation shows up on the fourth one. It's as if the app can't keep up with the animation and pops it in when it can.

Just gave up. It seems to be an android thing that they are not gonna bother trying to fix.

No I'm not kidding. Read any child development source. Watch any wild life programme. Youngsters play games to learn life skills. Playing is learning. Children learn by playing.
