  I thought so, but the houses on either side are not affected, hence my question...

  The houses on either side are affected, they're just affected by the the lack of information instead. It'll just be that the trend line Zoopla draws starts from a different place and doesn't have any info to course correct along the way.

  As ^, if it's in the ballpark then that's as good as you'll get.

  I'm guessing easier to roll the dowels off if any glue squeezes out the underside, vs an mdf worktop

  have you started a conga, and if so how did you get off?

  Waiting for this on Lamacq later

  Can you not tell them to stick it and ask for a refund? Seems a shambles.

  unlikely they'll return money for work they're saying they've done.

  though maybe letting them know that next step is for you to contact your bank to recover the money may give them a nudge

  they've picked a bad time to sell it as Steam are doing their annual sale so it looks even more overpriced. Reviews tend to be pretty good. I'd be tempted by one if I actually thought I'd use it. But same reason I don't have a switch, and the xbox is gathering dust etc.

  I will take that bet.
  You buy 1 BTC. I will send $1M USD.
  This is ~40:1 odds as 1 BTC is worth ~$26k.

  I’m not sure he understands how odds work

  Yeah, I presume that’s why it’s blocked here (bank) too. I think they overestimate how cutting edge they (the bank) are. If ChatGPT stopped learning in 2019 then it’s still ahead of what we’re doing…

• Running

  yeah, the sleep thing gets confused if I wake up but don't move. in general though, stats like the HRV do correspond to if I'm feeling refreshed or not. Takes weeks to get enough data for some sort of baseline though, the first few weeks don't give much that's useful.
  I also found I had to wear it all the time. If I just wear it when I run then things like race predictions are all over the place, presumably as it doesn't really know resting HR.
  When I wear it during the day and to sleep then it does seem better.

• Earphones / Headphones: Where to try, what to buy?

  AirPods Pro 2? (I've not used normal AirPods)

  Vastly better than the Jabra shit we get given for work.
  People can actually hear the unintelligible mess I spout when I'm in the office rather than just the unintelligible background mess when I'm using the provided headset.

  Hello from the future...
  I'd follow up, they might know next week's lottery results.
