I'm a man, husband, dad, engineer, deacon, priest and many other things. But, mainly, I'm a child of God.

@CooperativeBank Are you aware that your sign up page for online banking is broken? It gets to the page about marketing preferences and then the continue button just keeps coming back to the same page. Tried with several web browsers including latest Chrome.

Rather marvelous juxtaposition, this book on the shelf in Barter Books, which is housed by the pictured former station. Photos inside the book show what it used to look like on this spot.

@thisiskeithb @BigTreeTech On the plus side, I took the dead CRTouch apart and discovered it is way more bulky than it needs to be and I think I can work around the burnt components. So I might actually end up better off.

@BigTreeTech I think the Z probe header is rotated 180 degrees on my BTT SKR Mini E3 V3.0. I plugged a CRTouch in and it burnt.

[Tom Brazier @tibrazier]

@thisiskeithb @BigTreeTech So, fun fact, @Creality3dP uses similar wiring colours to BLTouch but the connectors are backwards meaning 5V is black and GND is red. This makes the backwards BTT connector look right but results in a burnt CRTouch.

...Well almost, it's reportedly 99% efficient. So it somehow magically makes 1% of the energy vanish, breaking 1st law of thermodynamics. That's pretty impressive for £50.

Youtube is advertising HeatPal, a "breakthrough heating technology" that (filtering through the scientific mumbo jumbo) does the same as any other fan heater...

@currys Browsing products on your website and it suddenly stated saying access denied. I can't be a customer if you won't serve me and I kind of assume you do want customers.

Does this make anyone else want to cry or is it just me? https://t.co/FG6HfeJ9EF

How on earth is it in someone's best interests to withdraw treatment meaning they will die but not in their interests to move them to a hospice because it might cause them to die on the way?

@BishopPaulB Thank you for signing the letter about deportations of people seeking asylum and speaking out publicly about it. By doing so, you give us all a voice.

Our fridge freezer is experiencing a build up of dihydrogen monoxide in is solid form. Yet another problem this pervasive chemical can cause.

@DirectLine The link to private messages doesn't work, by the way. It just gives me a message search box and a list of people.

[Tom Brazier @tibrazier]

@DirectLine Just so you know, I want to talk with people, not computers. Your repeated attempts to remove humans from the equation make me want to go elsewhere for insurance.

[Tom Brazier @tibrazier]

@DirectLine Thank you. I would really appreciate it if you passed on my frustration to your management. I know that you're just the people in the trenches who take the flack, but it's the decision makers who need to hear that things need to change.

[Tom Brazier @tibrazier]

@DirectLine Computerised phone system keeps saying "sorry about the wait, we are doing everything we can to talk to you". There is no "we", it's just a recorded message! If you really want to talk with people, employ more staff.

[Tom Brazier @tibrazier]

@DirectLine Thanks for offering to help. I would like you to answer the phone please.

Is there any car insurance company out there where there are actual people you can interact with without being fobbed off for ages by a computer?

[Tom Brazier @tibrazier]

@toms3dp Such a weird experience. I've had it a few times. Only once with the headache thankfully.
