Nope, not using Firefox on mobile. (I do on Linux mint though, and even with ublock I still got YouTube ads last time I was able to actually connect to the Internet.)

I've never got one of those anti-adblocker messages on YouTube and I just use a vanilla browser with no addons and I get zero ads. The Channel 4 website won't let me watch anything without disabling the adblocker, so it's not like my browser is in some super stealth mode where servers can't tell I'm blocking ads. I'm not complaining though.

I used to in a previous job. They brought in a thing where if your birthday fell on your usual shift day, you got it off at full pay.

Haha, okay, but they're nothing special. I used to buy kits, but now I make them from scratch.

There are for my nieces. I'm currently making a game room for my mate, a full house and I'm thinking of making a mini vinyl shop too.

This was my first attempt at soldering too, as I couldn't find any 3V LEDs prewired. Let's just say it was an adventure, but it was worth it.

Yep, they're great. I used them to buy some LEDs and battery holders for my miniatures.

Buying homes as investments really needs to be de-incentivised. Mega tax on residential properties that aren't occupied by the owners? I don't know enough to know the answer, all I know is that renting costs way more than monthly mortgage repayments, yet I'm on a low wage and wouldn't get accepted for a mortgage. Meanwhile greedy private landlords are making renters pay off their mortgage at a profit.

Thanks, I've been wondering!

There is no social housing left. Meanwhile, people are having to put up to 80% of their salary towards private rent in some parts of London, according to this 2019 article:

If anyone can find up to date figures, please share.

What did you type? I keep seeing this glyph in messages. I assume it's not supposed to look like this?

When you read classic novels and you see the kids having to spend ages trying to figure out how to divide a half crown among 5 kids.

I had three adverts slapped on one of my videos on my crummy 4 subscriber channel and I don't get a single penny from it.

 

It's bike spokes, I swear.

Any recommendations? I don't know if I want to splash out on something expensive. I was thinking of getting some cheap tat to act more as a deterrent, but then I thought, what if I actually need the footage? My commute is pretty short, but the amount of drivers who are happy to risk my life to shave 5 seconds off their journey is a problem.

Would any £5 cheapo camera make drivers think twice before trying to run me into the kerb or am I better off getting a decent quality camera? I'm cool with refurb/second hand.

 

It seems like it might be official, but it's hard to say. The video uploads are the same 360p, so maybe it's just another fan channel.

It does have most of the episodes, as well as many songs!

 

I have a friend who's really into them, so I thought it would be a nice surprise if I could learn one of their songs for him. I'm just not familiar with their catalogue, so does anyone have any suggestions for where to start? My level is "advanced noob" :)

Not his first attempt, but I want to do whatever I can to encourage him to stay on the wagon this time. I don't have any experience of this, so I'd appreciate any tips from those who have been there already.

Edit 02/10: he's still clean!

Wow, the difference in quality between the Squier and the Donner is incredible. It just feels so much smoother to play, I don't get the rattle and it just sounds and feels better overall. I'm confused by the reviews comparing the Donner to a p-bass. There's no comparison. I'm so glad I finally got my hands on my mini! It looks like a doll's toy next to the standard scale though!

Oh and added bonus, the tone dial actually does something.

I'm still having trouble offloading my Donner. I can't even trade it in.
