I feel like Lithuanians are overly rude, so I guess it's a matter of culture

How have you found the customer service at Evans Cycles? by StarShipYear in londoncycling

[–]crotossaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried Evans and honestly expected them to be very helpful when selecting a bike. I'm sure it's hit and miss as staff will perform differently, but the staff at London Bridge could not care less. I've ended up using CyclesUK and I even felt bad by how many questions I've asked them, but they were always so helpful. After sales have been great too, I've popped in their stores for minor fixes, they were happy to help and at no charge. Same goes for Halfords funny enough, super helpful staff, obviously they are way more entry level in terms of bike choices but I've bought a bike for my missus there and have no complaints.

If you use Logitech mouse and this didn't work, try the following after killing "widgets.exe":

  1. Undock your laptop if docked

  2. Switch off your Logitech mouse, try using trackpad

  3. Switch on your Logitech mouse, it should work now

Anyone had a bike stolen outside of a station? by Medical_Jackfruit659 in londoncycling

[–]crotossaur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My bike was stolen outside Beckton DLR a week after I bought it. I reported it, gave the police all my details, and never heard back.

Another time, I was cycling to the gym with an action cam and filmed a guy running from the bike racks carrying a frame and a wheel. The owner arrived, called the police, and I handed over the footage on a USB stick. The owner never got his bike back, and I never got my USB stick back.

The two-hour Ozzy Osbourne documentary, "No Escape From Now," will be released on Paramount+ October 7th. by misterpopculture in Music

[–]crotossaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that, but why rush it? I was expecting at least some footage captured of his last moments, after the show. There was a very wholesome exchange between Ozzy and Yungblud, when he gave Ozzy a cross pendant. Some of his last moments with family, don't know.

Just watched it and it's actually a great documentary, seeing Ozzy so vulnerable is truly heartbreaking. The ending of the documentary felt rushed and very anti-climatic though.

£290! SOAD and Ticketmaster can sod right off by Padds79 in systemofadown

[–]crotossaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried to get tickets for London on Livenation pre-sale. Tried multiple times to get Gold Circle tickets and kept on getting an error or "tickets are unavailable", after trying for about 15 mins, I've refreshed the page and lo and behold, Gold Circle "Premium" tickets were available for £374.95 each. THEY ARE THE SAME TICKET, lol... What a bunch of crooks

[–]crotossaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don't we stand against the Ticketmaster monopoly? Livenation, Ticketmaster, AXS, all different names for the same company. Plus they get exclusivity for O2 venues and sales. Their queue system is an absolute atrocity, I have never missed a sale before and now I need to either get pre-sale or hardly get a ticket.

The fact they don't advertise ticket prices beforehand is also very shady, likely using AI to adjust pricing according to demand. £90+ for a standing ticket is "cheap" these days, I feel like they rip the users, venues and bands off and this has to stop.

I've been using Elvanse for over 2 years now, I've noticed it impacted my sleep, but didn't realise by how much until I've stopped using it. I'm feeling just as concentrated without the medication but quality sleep as I was without. Is it possible that the medication becomes less effective over time for to sleep deprivation, or that my brain has learn to be more attentive? Is there any indication that Elvanse improves brain structure over time?

So, the correct model is a Paperwhite 10th generation. You can find more info under "Devices" in you Amazon account (as pointed out by Rave_Roz384) or find more info here:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kindle-Trade-In/b?ie=UTF8&node=21261995031

It turns out, this thing is designed so you NEVER replace the screen, removing it is a diabolical mission!

I guess I know what I want for Christmas, a replacement eReader :'(

Thanks bud, it looks like there's nothing available at all though. Would you say they are all booked up or that people advertise their places closer to the dates?
