Hah, that's a cool solution [no pun intended]

Yup, spot on, I didn't explain it clearly enough but how you articulate it is better: it does indeed have a digital "On" switch so just giving it power doesn't achieve what I need

Yeah, I wish I did but alas not

I feel like I'd benefit from a smart dehumidifier.

I'm on a Time Of Use tariff where my electricity is very cheap at night. I'd like to be able to schedule for it to come on for those 5hrs in the winter to take the moisture out of my shed-office. It achieves nothing to put it on a smart meter as you have to physically press go on the dehumidifier

What's madness to me is that people in my country have a holiday to the US booked... and are still going.

My safety is worth more than a few sunk thousand

What's great is Canada is pushing forward will alternative negotiations. The US should know that they need to get to the table immediately before all the deals are done

Thanks, pocketcast is US so I'm moving to your proposal of AntennaPod

I'm afraid I've had to give up on Anytime Player, there's too many bugs and it's missing key functionality. Gone to AntennaPod but too early to say

That's my concern but I'm giving it a go. I asked Le Chat and it said it originated from a developer in Germany so that's good enough for me

I'm not in the US but that's truly chilling to hear. When you're not surrounded by it, you don't realise how normalised something becomes in a different part of society.

I immediately went looking on temu :)

I don't the poster meant to happen!

Great point, what sort of a hellscape is that!?

 

My 5yr old son has just been diagnosed. The diagnosis was binary (yes:no) rather than a scale which was the first lesson for me.

I need to understand how to support him and am not sure where to start. Does anyone have any advice please?

 

Ok, hit me with ideas please. I can't afford to double the cost but am prepared to pay extra for European cat food, both dry and wet.

Anyone found good options? I'm in the UK which may limit my options

 

Only just taken it up, came from tennis so I'm a reasonable level (3.5ish).

I'm keen to play when I'm on holiday in Spain and wondered what people felt was the best way of approaching this.

Do I email the nearest club and ask them to set me up with some of their club members? Or maybe just focus on 1-2-1 coaching? (would that even work or would you need a pair to do coaching?).

Is there an app in Spain where you advertise to have a game? I think playtomic is meant to be but doesn't seem too active.

We're at a kids resort so I thought to ask the resort to try to organise but I don't think they'll want to be doing this just to entertain me lol

Any other ideas appreciated
