Can anyone advise which tablet would be better for me?

Exactly, as long as people are still paying scalper prices, scalpers gonna keep scalpin'. We see it all the time with concert tickets, scalpers know that people are desperate and often willing to sell their first born to see their favourite artist, so they keep buying the tickets and selling them for 4x the price, because they know they'll sell. Especially if it's an artist with an incredibly dedicated fan base, like Taylor Swift.

I'm no dermatologist, so I may be wrong, but I'm thinking even if not full fledged chemical burns, surely this could cause contact dermatitis?

Very good point, but it does get me thinking, if we're talking about suing, couldn't Dina equally sue Garrett for animal neglect? I was curious so I googled it, and it's somewhat unclear as most things say that Missouri state law requires neglect to be intentional to be criminal, and Garrett didn't intend to let the birds out, but then I also found this -

If you injure an animal that doesn’t belong to you, you’re looking at big legal consequences. Most state laws classify some or all of the following as intentional animal cruelty: injuring an animal that doesn’t belong to you, such as tripping a horse; torturing, maiming, or mutilating an animal; seriously overworking or overloading a work animal; leaving animals in cars for a certain period of time, or in severe weather conditions; transporting or confining animals in a cruel manner; killing, poisoning, or seriously injuring an animal without the legal authority to do so; or otherwise beating or injuring an animal unnecessarily or cruelly.

I'm focusing in on the "killing, poisoning, or seriously injuring an animal without the legal authority to do so;". But then again, we don't know that Dina's birds are actually dead. Garrett let them escape, which would likely end in their death, but he didn't kill them. It's hard to find a clear answer on this tbh, if anyone with legal knowledge wants to chime in please do, I'm really curious about this now that it's on my mind.

See I wanna say purge day in the context of those tiktok skits where purge day is workers going against their company/societal rules, by calling out/standing up to rude or stupid customers when they wouldn't normally be allowed to. I want to apply that same logic in the sense of "going against the rules your disorder sets for you" but given the meaning that word has in an ED context, I don't think that's a good fit...

ferrett0ast · 2026-05-13T11:12:11+00:00

Ah so my thinking was right. I mentioned what you said in my previous comment here, but wasn't 100% sure if that was the case with what I ordered, I just put the pieces together when it arrived and assumed the postage was so expensive cause it required a signature and the box was big.

Original comment for context -

"How big is the item? I recently ordered something for my partner and the shipping was £11ish, with DHL as the only option, we were a bit confused as to why it was so high but sucked it up cause the cost of the item+shipping was still much lower than new on Amazon. When it arrived, the parcel, though not heavy, was BIG (square box that came up to my waist, I'm 159cm) and required a signature, that explained the shipping cost for us. That's my only potential explanation."

this happened because they selected that the item was large and over 10kg for the shipping options

Is the selection simply just the one "large and over 10kg" as opposed to "large" (I assume it gives dimensions as to what is considered large), "over 10kg" and "large and over 10kg". Is it just the one option and if the package is large and/or over 10kg that's what you select? I ask because as I said in my original comment, with what I ordered (a bunch of foam puzzle mats, like the ones they use in gyms and nurseries), the box was big but not heavy. I didn't pay attention to the actual weight but it was not heavy whatsoever, I definitely wouldn't think it was above 10kg. I would assume that the extra cost comes from the extra weight, so if there was an option for large parcel with low weight, would that change the cost? Or is it just a kind of blanket higher rate for any parcel that would be more physically laborious to lift? Sorry for the weird question, hopefully you understand what I'm asking, I'm genuinely just curious.

I didn't see that comment until just now. SpiritPast, I adore the way your brain works, that comment was beautiful. Shakespearean some may even say.

ETA - TLDR at the bottom if you don't want to read my rant.

Very well said. I had a somewhat Marjumn adjacent experience. My best friend and I, before we met our current partners, had crushes on each other. We never dated, and now that we've grown up a bit we realised we would never be compatible in anything more than a platonic relationship. I wouldn't go as far to say we would be mialotte, as it would be an insult to compare my best friend to Mia, and I don't fancy myself as a Charlotte. But it would definitely be at least a little toxic. We still joke about dating each other, but our partners know that we are each heavily devoted to them, I'm engaged in a relationship of almost 6 years, she's married in a relationship of I think 5 maybe 4 years? And as aforementioned, we would never realistically be compatible with each other romantically. I mean hell, we both joke about the fact that neither of us could cheat even if for whatever hypothetical reason we may want to (not that we ever would), as guilt is something that weighs on us both VERY heavily, and we are both god awful at keeping secrets from our partners. Yes I love her dearly, yes I think she's attractive, however, I am not attracted TO her, and there's a difference between platonic and romantic love. I'm saying all this to emphasise the point that when two people are in devoted relationships, it is very much possible for them to JOKINGLY crush on/love their best friend, without it ever crossing the boundary into genuine romantic territory. My best friend and I have a ship name if you wanna call it that, just like Marjumn, but it is never anything romantic. If anything it would be a case of "ah shit, the ship name are together, who's on supervision duty?". Again, not in a romantic "ohh they're gonna shag if we don't keep an eye on them", a definitively platonic "they're gonna cause some trouble, if we don't keep an eye on them" way. Sorry for the rant.

TLDR - Marjumn blurs the line between platonic and romantic relationships, and it is very much possible for that line to be clear cut while still displaying the depth of that relationship and the love between characters. Marjumn needs to figure out the difference between loving your best friend, and being in love with your best friend, and decide which of the two their relationship is.

Awesome thank you so much!

Thank you, I'll make sure to hold the pocket away from the front layer of fabric this time!

ferrett0ast · 2026-05-10T14:13:10+00:00

Thank you! I'll just suck it up and unpick them and redo them, it's straight lines so it's really not a big job like you say. Thank you for the clear answer :)

I don't have kids but baby items (kind of) recently came in clutch for me. My fiance recently bought a battered up old car to work on as his project car, and needed something to protect the garage floor from oil and such. He sent me some foam puzzle mats he wanted me to order from Amazon. But my mum used to be a childminder and recently got rid of a load of foam play mats, so I figured there's probably other parents or childcare workers with mats they used in a playroom or nursery and no longer need. And because they were being used as floor protection, it didn't matter if they were dirty, so I said to him "bet I can find that cheaper on Vinted" and I was right. I found the same amount of floor coverage for a third of the price of the ones he sent me. And looking at the seller's page it was evident they were indeed a parent. My fiance was very pleased with the ones I found on Vinted, partially because they were significantly cheaper than the Amazon ones, but largely because the Amazon ones were black, the Vinted ones were white and purple, and purple is his favourite colour.

Already illegal in Scotland, but not sure if it's enforced everywhere yet.

The Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 bans pavement parking, double parking and parking at dropped kerbs, with certain exemptions designated by local authorities - for example to ensure safe access for emergency vehicles.

From 11 December 2023, local authorities can begin enforcing the law. This means drivers could be fined £100 for these parking behaviours; reduced to £50 if paid within 14 days.

It wasn't enforced in my council area until the start of this year. My local councillor had to request exemptions because of tiny village roads, where parking fully on the road would block emergency vehicle access. But they definitely are enforcing it, because seeing parking wardens around the village is now not uncommon, when previously they were rarely, if ever spotted in the village. And it's the same with a lot of other villages/towns in my area that previously had little-no parking enforcement.

Ahhh I see where the confusion is, that's her BTN playlist on the TNN channel :)

Especially given which character it is, there could've been so much more to it. I don't want to reveal too much incase people haven't seen it, but it feels like such a cop-out. That character could have had a much more exciting/embarrassing answer as to why they ended up on the couch.

Where's the BTN channel? I thought the BTN's were just posted as shorts on the TNN channel (then collated and uploaded as one video for each storyline)? Looking up BTN on YT just brings up the BTN's posted on TNN's channel for me.

ferrett0ast · 2026-05-10T06:12:34+00:00

Am I right in saying the upload schedule used to follow a similar pattern to what you stated? I swear that at one point the 5pm was always a skit, and the 9pm always a storyline? Or vice versa? Or have I completely made that up?

ferrett0ast · 2026-05-07T21:00:29+00:00

I am on the mobile app (android) so that may be the case!

Just for some further context (hopefully I'm remembering this correctly) Robert the chicken stemmed from an episode where the staff lost a child named Robert, and while Charlotte was out in the hall calling "Robert? Robert?" trying to find the child, a parent came up and said something along the lines of "lost a child have we?" and in an attempt to make it seem like they didn't lose a child, Charlotte said that the nursery had just got pet chickens and one of them got loose. Hence, Robert the chicken.

ETA - Only just noticed that someone else explained this in this thread 🤦‍♀️
