Know when to shitcan a bad idea rather than death march your company into oblivion by not concentrating on the core business and customers to deliver the bad idea.

Nope. Someone else already announced what they’re doing at least a year before and also, it’s Google, who don’t have a good reputation among colleagues and friends. We all have our own Google horror stories that invoke disinterest in their products and services.

Similar weird problems in portrait mode on my iPhone 13 Pro. My youngest daughter comes out looking like an unholy tellytubby on crack for some reason.

Got fed up of trying to negotiate with the bastard thing and bought a Nikon mirrorless instead. Absolutely no regrets.

Had this on eBay a couple of times. You need to photograph the package before you send it inside and out if it’s worth anything significant. UPS and Hermes at least won’t pay out on delivery unless you have some evidence.

Other option is hire someone with a chair leg to go and get the parts back. If it’s eBay look at their for sale list - some people are stupid enough to relist what “didn’t turn up”.

Nope I don't take any drugs of any kind. Low fibre in keto diet caused an obstruction and perforation.

Usual eBay tactics. I’m a long term seller on eBay and it’s a shit show. The only reason I use it is because the market is the best out there.

EBay don’t give a crap about anything once fees are collected.

Working in the sector it’s everywhere already even if you have multiple bank accounts or not. The banks are by far the least of your worries.

HSBC are notorious bastards and I fired them ages ago.

They transferred £2000 out of my account randomly one day with no cause or explanation when there was £118 available in it. The next day they froze the account and a specific contact at HSBC forced me to make a repayment arrangement for the money. I refused and opened a dispute and it took me 14 months to get it back and all fees incurred for entering an unarranged overdraft. It ruined my credit rating for 3 years. Every contact I made with them was handled by someone utterly incompetent or disinterested in solving the problem even when I involved a solicitor.

Never an apology, never an explanation, never a true resolution.

NEVER work with HSBC. ALWAYS keep your finances distributed between multiple accounts.

With Santander mostly now who so far, touch wood, have succeeded in not fucking anything up. Halifax as a backup.

The tiny little notepad2 window on my otherwise perfect 200% scaled windows laptop says otherwise. Windows HiDPI has been a constant shit show for me.
