@myenergiuk Mine doesn’t work and I’ve been trying to troubleshoot it for a week. Would recommend avoiding this product. Only charges for a few mins and turns itself off again.

Impressive how @myenergiuk have made their app so appalling bad. Charger refusing to work and apparently the setting I need to change to fix it isn’t on the app! Or it’s hidden so deep it seems to be impossible to find… 🙄

This guy created an automated script that calls back spam callers and absolutely torments them.

When they answer, it blasts them with an endless loop of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”… and then it keeps calling them back again and again until the spam company is forced to block his number — which is exactly what he wants.

I’m convinced this guy created a million dollar idea and he should turn this into a real app!

Sometimes the best way to deal with life’s little annoyances is with clever creativity and a good sense of humor — turning frustration into something that actually makes you smile.

Have you ever wished you could get sweet revenge on those endless spam callers?

@ring Yeah that’s pretty pathetic to be honest. Your app could at least link to the relevant website page! I managed to login to website & find the page to subscribe but again there were issues. So I may go with Blink instead.

[Toby on X @tobymedia]

Amazing how a multi-million dollar company like @ring can have such terrible UX in their app/website that it doesn’t let you subscribe to their pro package… like I’m trying to give you money & you’re not letting me - crazy!

This page opens whenever I click to upgrade and it’s a dead page with info about the plan… and says “plans can’t be managed in the ring app” and there’s nowhere to click!! Madness.

There's something that fires me up about taking care of my wife.

Last night proved it.

I walked in from work to absolute chaos:

One kid just threw up. Another was whining and crying. Two more were fighting over a toy.

And my wife was standing in the middle of it all, completely fried.

She looked at me with exhausted eyes that said: "I can't do this anymore."

You know what happened to my energy?

It didn't drop. It multiplied.

"Go upstairs. Take a break. I've got this."

She didn't argue. She just left.

I cleaned up the puke. Broke up the fight. Calmed the crying one. Got everyone settled.

And I felt ALIVE doing it.

Here's what most guys don't understand about marriage:

Your wife doesn't need you only when things are smooth.

She needs you MOST when she's at her breaking point.

When the kids are losing it.
When dinner burned.
When she's had zero breaks all day.
When she's one more tantrum away from losing it herself.

THAT'S when you step up.

Not with resentment. Not keeping score.

But with energy. Purpose. Leadership.

"I've got you. Go rest."

That's what it means to be a husband.

Not 50/50. Not splitting duties down the middle.

It's 100/100. Both of you giving everything, especially when the other has nothing left.

When she's running on empty, I fill the tank.

When I'm running on empty, she fills mine.

That's the partnership.

Most guys see chaos at home and think: "Great, more problems after a long day."

I see my wife exhausted and think: "Time to lead."

That shift in perspective changes everything.

Your wife married a man who would protect her, provide for her, and PARTNER with her.

Don't just be a roommate managing a household.

Be the man who shows up when it's hard.

That's what she needs. That's what your kids need to see.

Show up.

@flynorse Awful airline, avoid at all costs.

Flew with them earlier in the year and it was a disaster. Still waiting on compensation…

They also have no customer service and have scammers targeting their customers so highly suggest steering clear. #DontFlyNorse

In 1988, during the late hours of the night, a Hawaiian musician named Israel Kamakawiwo'ole reached out to a local studio, urgently requesting a recording session. Eagerly, he implored the engineer, expressing his desire to bring his idea to life. In a remarkable display of talent and spontaneity, Kamakawiwo'ole recorded a rendition of the beloved song "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" in a single take. This rendition would soon resonate deeply with listeners worldwide, touching the hearts of countless individuals.

The recording itself featured Kamakawiwo'ole's voice accompanied solely by his ukulele, creating a mesmerizing and unforgettable experience for anyone who encountered it. Despite the artist's untimely passing in 1997 at the age of 38, his music and his remarkable but brief life have continued to profoundly impact people from all corners of the globe.
