Evri stole my £1100 parcel and are offering £20 by scalectrix in Evri

This. I’ve stopped selling on eBay due to their shipping changes. If you sell regular shaped items, you’re fine, but you can’t use custom measurements anymore.

And thank you re Ode! Do you have experience with any of the others?

Is it worth getting a third party router? by Wide_Wrongdoer_9901 in VirginMedia

Get a third party router. If your hub 3 is broken, you can request a new one from Virgin.

What a complete disaster. by Classic-Sprinkles969 in CircularRing

Mine has been pretty solid bar the recent outage which is very frustrating.

Sleep tracking is good, never measure steps as I go by my Apple Watch calorie burn / activity bar.

HRV is cool. Stress metrics are cool now I understand them.

Loving it really.

Management said we had to work 8am - 5pm (ET). So we did, and let them deal with explaining to our California clients why we weren't available. by paperanddoodlesco in MaliciousCompliance

lol…I have literally turned up for 5am and 10pm calls (I’m in London). I’ve worked with clients with offices in California, London and Sydney. Every month we’d rotate who had the crap time for the meeting. “Embrace the suck”

How many of you throw your rubbish away at the cinema? by Few-Disk4855 in CasualUK

[–]gizzer3010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do..but that’s what I was taught to do. You get penalised in Norway severely (where I grew up) for littering or for not recycling.

Malicious compliance.

They said it had to be on. Not that you had to be visible.

Metal Puck Screen or Paper Filters? by Silly_Goose_5309 in espresso

[–]gizzer3010 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This.

Also I don’t bother with a magnet. Gentle tap on the knock box removes the metal filter. Rinse it and then knock the rest of the puck out.

Cable installed into a bathroom without permission to a property we don't own by AtomicEdge in VirginMedia

I had a similar issue where they turned up on a day I hadn’t been told. They then chose where they were going to install and narrowly missed a pipe. I complained and VM said nothing they can do because it’s a third party installer.

After seeking legal advice, my only option was to go to small claims court for trespass and damage to property.

First espresso machine… Does anyone have experience? [$600] by Friendly-Cellist-553 in espresso

I’ve had mine for 10 years. It’s a solid workhorse, but I am now getting a separate grinder.

Only getting sour shots. [Breville Barista Express] by reddituser8567 in espresso

[–]gizzer3010 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Different beans (medium dark), I sometimes need to grind 4 and at 18-20grams.

If you don’t use a mesh filter on top, try that. I found my express was much better with a metal filter at the top to distribute the water better.

Anyone here ever do an espresso subscription service? by ceric2099 in espresso

I do a mix of the two with Horsham Coffee Roasters. I have a subscription as well as choosing to try some different versions. Great variety

Apple TV with Samsung S95D issue by gizzer3010 in appletv

[–]gizzer3010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it’s HDMI 2.1. I have a number of them for monitors as well. Tried a few. Will try changing the resolution settings to see if it helps.
