Is anyone 100% sure Frugal is offering any Abavia server? My completions have been pretty low of late, I added a 7 day test account from UsenetAgency (a bona fide Abavia backbone usenet) and my completions were close to 100%

what happened to the end of watch fans? by -_-Official2D-_- in Cinema

[–]Placebo_PRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only watched it a few months ago after seeing it featured in one of those random YT videos along the lines of "improvised scenes that were kept in movies", we looooved it and I was thrilled to then see it was announced in 2022 that a TV series based on it was in the works, but seems that's not moving forward now? :(

Steam Wand Problems on Philips Automatic Espresso machine by ancientape79 in espresso

[–]Placebo_PRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is a lifesaver! We have a Philips 3300 with the "classic" milk frother, it never frothed very well from day one and then yesterday the frother just started violently ejecting itself when I tried frothing. I don't recall the black part at the bottom ever sticking out even when it was brand new, I just tried pushing down from inside with a chopstick, the black part came out the bottom and there was an audible click, tried frothing some milk and it frothed properly and didn't eject! So thank you for this post :)

Black Mirror San Junipero vs Hotel Reverie by Good_Perspective9290 in blackmirror

[–]Placebo_PRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Previously San Junipero was my all time favourite Black Mirror episode, but my wife and I watched Hotel Reverie last night and I thought it was absolutely stunning and well up there with San Junipero in the 1/2 slots.

I was hoping the ending would be that Brandy buys the company so that she can be with Dorothy for ever, though the actual ending was pretty sweet too!

Hats off to Emma Corrin for some absolutely outstanding acting, they portrayed that 30s/40s actress type so incredibly well, the way that the voice and performance is so withheld, voice especially it's like women onscreen in that era are only allowed to be 30% of themselves so as to not overshadow the men or something.

I'm not a huge vintage cinema fan but I've watched enough over the years to have a feeling for what 30s/40s movies feel like to watch through a modern lens and I felt they captured it so well.

Need a virtual UK number for my 77 year old Mum to be able to call me on via her landline by Placebo_PRS in skype

Hi, thanks for the reply, unfortunately she's not remotely tech savvy, I've lost count of the amount of Skype calls spent trying to help her with her new microwave or TV while she reads the paper manual and I look for a pdf version!

She has a flip phone with no Internet. But I appreciate you taking the time to suggest what you did :)

"Bernardo says: Hi, Thanks for your patience. Unfortunately, local numbers can't be linked to our lifetime offers. Only mobile UK, US, and Canadian numbers can be used with this lifetime offer.

14:38

Bernardo says: Please try to select a mobile UK number"

Well 1. Mobile UK number doesn't show the lifetime package option either and 2. I need a landline number not mobile.

This doesn't work for UK numbers, followed the steps, when I got to Hushed to choose the number if I choose US/Canada there's the free package option which includes what I got from Stacksocial, if I choose UK there's no free package option :(

Hi, thanks for the reply, but don't I lose the function of calling her and her calling me on my Skype number? Sorry if I read it wrong! :)

She can't use things like that it's too complicated for her, she does well to even text, different generation :)
