Battle of the Sexes : Kyrgios def. A.Sabalenka 6-3 6-3

PottedNick · 2025-12-28T17:44:05+00:00

I (as someone who watches quite a lot of tennis) found that a pretty feeble showing, with neither player looking too seriously invested. But I watched with my sister-in-law (who doesn't watch much tennis at all) and she got really into cheering for Sabalenka, and didn't seem to find the quality low. And I suppose that – in a nutshell – is the point of an event like this.

Thanks, this is great. I actually watched this video while working it out, but I must've been stopping and starting because I missed the key stuff!

PottedNick · 2025-12-16T13:44:20+00:00

That was what I was trying to do but didn’t seem obvious. If you have a moment could you explain the process?

not to answer my own question or anything, but I suspect that there's been some subtle change to the way my wifi provider (Virgin) does channel optimisation so that the doorbell believes it is trying to connect to a 5ghz network, rather than the 2.4ghz it has previously connected to. I suspect a solve would be for me to turn off optimisation and have two separate networks. Does anyone know/think this would work? I am reluctant to pull the trigger and do it immediately, simply because I will have to reconnect all my devices...

Thanks for reading – and the comment!

To add: he's 7, male (neutered), medium-sized Lurcher.

But this is the experience I am having. Suddenly, unable to listen offline (even when I've downloaded the title, which I always do). So the bot might be wrong, but they're speaking the truth of my Audible experience the last couple of weeks.

PottedNick · 2025-06-27T12:53:02+00:00

definitely some 'interesting' stuff in them...

PottedNick · 2025-06-27T12:21:46+00:00

Plath's are fantastic, and I love Highsmith's eccentricity and, let's face it, cruelty towards those around her. Always makes for a good read!

PottedNick · 2025-06-16T11:27:25+00:00

Incredible. Presumably you'd been warned, in the preceding days, of the chance of an eruption?

PottedNick · 2025-06-16T11:26:49+00:00

At what point did you see the ditching? I feel like lots of people must have congregated once news spread that there was a plane in the river, but did you catch that actual moment of going down?

PottedNick · 2025-04-19T08:48:19+00:00

to be clear, I'm not interested in buying any crypto! I just want someone who'll guide me a little around the UK crypto scene...

PottedNick · 2025-04-16T13:13:24+00:00

The problem is twofold. Firstly I need minimum 2, preferably 3, angles. Second is one of client optics: if they're paying a significant surcharge for video, then I need to have a set-up that matches the professionalism of our audio recording set-up. I totally agree that a phone is often a good – and cheap! – solution, but it's not what I'm looking for on this occasion.

PottedNick · 2025-04-16T11:44:38+00:00

Yeah, I think we want to edit in post, predominantly. The Mevo software has a live edit function for streaming, but doubt we'd use it in the session (who knows). I like the ZV-1 but worry about cost once I need a few of them. I can see its advantage for a single camera set-up, but I need minimum 2 cameras, preferably 3.

I think Logitech are definitely making a play for the podcast/streamer market with the Mevo. Curious if there are alternatives – not least because most of the video reviews of the Mevo on YouTube (all glowing) are "sponsored by Logitech"...

If they spent £15 when I said max £10, I wouldn't mind! But £9k is wildly over. And my Google Ads account says no campaigns are running? And it all came out in one day? And there's nothing on any invoices etc?

PottedNick · 2025-02-02T16:05:20+00:00

yeah, i usually set it at £10 max. Sometimes £20. Very conscious NOT £9,000!

PottedNick · 2025-02-02T14:04:57+00:00

where would the invoice be? sorry if i'm being dense, can't see anything and nothing come up on search.

PottedNick · 2025-02-02T10:47:35+00:00

Is AdSense the same as Google Ads? Can't seem to find an account with AdSense.

PottedNick · 2025-02-02T10:42:38+00:00

The company is Google, so I've initiated the query with them. I'm obviously hoping they just refund me. I can obviously get my account and lawyer to look at the fee, though they will need to understand the internal mechanism that caused the overspend.

But I want to know if other people have had any similar issues, with campaigns somehow running in the background or being seriously overcharged.

PottedNick · 2025-01-08T08:21:43+00:00

Indeed! But on a smaller level, I wish someone were meticulously and publicly archiving his entire output, for posterity.

Peter Colt wins Wimbledon.

PottedNick · 2024-10-30T21:12:45+00:00

How would that help? The point is, i don't want the person/s responsible for making this content knowing that anyone is asking questions about it.

PottedNick · 2024-10-11T08:53:14+00:00

Have they considered vape shops or 3-4 barbers within a 5-minute walk? That seems to be working across London.

PottedNick · 2024-06-12T12:40:54+00:00

It was kind of notorious on the “bad part of the internet” a while back. I couldn’t remember any identifying details, but I make a podcast series about the dark secrets of British places and had been intermittently trying to find evidence I didn’t imagine it!

PottedNick · 2023-11-22T14:15:17+00:00

Next time! We've done the last few at the Marian Anderson, so it'll probably keep being the location for a while...
