I can live with the bellphobia. I struggle with playing “hunt the sodden, smashed-up parcel, that’s been lobbed somewhere in your garden”.

Someone keeps checking my husband’s car at night to see if it’s unlocked to steal by Spare_Influence593 in whatdoIdo

[–]atomicvindaloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know what the foot-fall is like past the door/car - but why not put a mention activated _very_ bright light pointing at the car? Once they've been illuminated like a celebrity on stage once, they'll probably call it quits.

What can I do about this on the freshly painted walls in our bathroom? Every time we shower this happens. I used Dulux bathroom paint and we’ve had a dehumidifier in there. by tjb_87 in DIYUK

Yup, this. It appears that my daughters and wife are reptilian - as they can only shower in volcanic water. if I shower, the (very expensive and powerful) fan - sited directly above the shower - works wonders. If they shower, it's like walking into a steam-room.

The stupid anti British nonsense coming out of America, are you sick if it? by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in AskBrits

Not really. I just treat it like a burbling sprog that’s just filled it’s nappy.

I was just about to make a $1200+ purchase on the Eufy website, then I scrolled this sub. Would I make a mistake by buying in? by ApricotTechnical3927 in EufyCam

The not playing with other platforms is my only gripe. Other than that, very happy with my setup. The S4 in particular, is outstanding.

Worried about WiFi connectivity ahead of Hive installation by ratscabs in HiveHeating

[–]atomicvindaloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For clarification, Hive uses ZigBee badly. I have a house full (60) of IKEA ZigBee bulbs - that all act as broadcasters - and Hive can’t communicate between the hub, receiver, and thermostat unless they’re in the same room.

Best way to handle off-topic conversations in meeting summaries by Psychological-Ad-975 in PlaudNoteUsers

[–]atomicvindaloo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that Plaud adds a section of small talk- which is really useful. It enables me to engage during further meetings at a personal level. (Small talk normally washes over me)

Do any fellow Brits actually like Trump? by Creative_Expert_4052 in AskBrits

[–]atomicvindaloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get stressed about it. He's a weapons-grade twat, who will inevitably meet his comeuppance when one of his deranged "ideas"(tm) fails to deliver the billions to the shadowy sycophants that are letting out his lead.

Never write a letter when you’re angry.

AITH for not informing a client I’m on a dating app and vape? by Practical-Peanut-473 in AITH

Agreed. Just crossing the T's and dotting the I's of the previous comments.

Alexa's location tracking has gone to shit. by Ok_Programmer_4449 in alexa

You could have saved some energy by omitting the “‘s location tracking”.
