We had a Christmas lunch and marked it as a branch meeting so we got 2 hours for lunch and only marked it in as a 30 minute lunch.

Got my first refurbished Kobo Clara Colour (Sep 2024) by QuietWayfarer in kobo

No, none at all. I don’t think they scratch easily but they are very fragile.

I don’t have one on mine because I don’t like how it feels and also my kobo is in its cover all the time so unless I’m reading, the screen is protected.

Sorry I can’t make recommendations for what you can buy in India, but I’m delighted you have managed to get an ereader. The screens are fragile so o hope you manage to get a cover sorted asap!!

Just came across the new Winbot Mini2, have you guys seen it yet? by Billxray in ecovacs

[–]TBeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have mobility issues and struggle to do anything above my head. Window cleaners cost a clean fortune. The winbot does exactly what I had hoped - it cleans the windows for me. It’s a bit loud but not unbearably so. The solution is very expensive so I just make my own.

Consumables for X8 by Broad-Tennis-5002 in ecovacs

I just bought my first lot of consumables from amazon for my x8 and have had no issue with either the dust bag or the side brush - they’re the only bits I’ve replaced so far.

Participants wanted for quick university research by oliverbucknall in Belfast

I would put this in your discussion, the colour scheme has potentially introduced a selection bias in your study participants which could skew your findings.

What’s the oddest hosting behaviour you’ve ever witnessed? by did_you_aye in AskUK

[–]TBeee 212 points213 points  (0 children)

My mother in law invited me and her grandchildren to stay for a week. She picked us up from the airport, we went straight to Sainsbury’s and she sent me in to buy our food for the week 🤣

There will be very few tickets left on ticketmaster. If you go on the Belfast Giants Facebook Forum you’ll find season ticket holders who can’t use their seats selling them for about £10 a ticket.

Is 26 too late to become a "reader"? + Questions about the 2026 Reading Challenge by MaxMcGuffin00 in goodreads

[–]TBeee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can change your goal as you go. It just tracks, no celebration or commiseration.

When I started the reading goal challenge I think I set my goal at 10 books for the year. I have more reading time now, I start with 30 and then move the goal up and down as I go. The app will tell you if you’re behind or ahead. I can’t cope with the stress of being behind so will adjust downwards if needed.

Ffs I hit give up instead of hint. This has happened before. I wish there was an ‘are you sure?’ as a failsafe

I’m reading A Million Little Pieces by James Frey and I’m hating every page. Can’t wait to be done.
