The advice thread for random problems #6

Absolutely reheat in gravy, the beef will take it better but the chicken will be fine sliced or separated. Just add slices to a gravy bath (can be weak gravy granule mix) for a few mins. If anyone doesn’t like gravy, a little tin foil envelope sealed with a table spoon of water and pop it in a hit oven for a few mins. That’s how we did it when I worked in a pub kitchen.
Heat the plates too and have the serving gravy really hot.
Gordon Ramsay says to rest your turkey as long as you cook it and don’t worry if it’s cold, the gravy will heat it.

Anyone know what could fix this, or if I need to contact those that built it?

My pc was working fine with my old router, we recently got fibre optic an new cables put in an suddenly my pc is showing this

The pc can still find (what I assume) the neighbours WiFi at times, an the router is showing up on other devices like my phone an tablet, but the router doesn't show up on my pc, I've reset everything, uninstalled an reinstalled drivers etc

Right now am using the ethernet cable but ideally it's not what I want, with a free roam bunny I try to limit wires (plus I hate looking at them) so my router is usually behind the TV, but where the pc is the wire wouldn't be long enough to go from router to pc since I can't really move the pc, so I really need the WiFi to be working

Just wondering if anyone knows what I could do before I end up contacting those that built it to see what they can do, it's a 10 month old pc so it's not old enough to have problems

Hi, I’m not sure this is the right thread but my partner told me his brother (34) who I’ve found a bit odd anyway, is now dating a 19 year old. This really creeped me out but even more so once I saw a picture of her as she didn’t even look 19 to me, she looked like a child. Me being me, I did a lot of digging and found out she’s actually 16, so he’s more than double her age. My partner told their mum who obviously didn’t take the news well and asked the brother to meet her asap. She told him what I’d found and said she was going to tell the girl’s mum. He was fuming and lost it with his mum, he’s always had anger issues and clearly doesn’t think straight. He should be cutting ties and thanking us for doing the work he should’ve, not that he should be with what he thought was a 19 year old anyway. He even threatened to kill their family dog if she did I said this is a police matter now with this threat but my partner discouraged me. I feel like everyone walks on egg shells with him as they’re pretty intimidated, myself included, so she wants to wait a bit to tell her mum as apparently he has evidence that she’s not 16. I’m thinking he doesn’t as they both could clear this up straight away and I think the fact he thinks being with a 19 year old is okay to rings alarm bells. I think he’s known she’s 16 all along. His mum cut ties with him and he accepted this which screams guilty to me, he’s chosen this child over his own family. Should I message the girls’ parents myself? Just a bit worried of the repercussions as he’s clearly a psychopath but I have daughters myself and I’d want someone to reach out to me with this info if they knew. My partner, understandably, doesn’t want me talking to people I know about this for advice so I thought this could be a good idea.

But the police are needed now. Isn't 16 classed as a minor still. 16 is the legal age of consent, but not between a minor and an adult

Sorry

It’s very disgusting and immoral but I don’t think it’s actually illegal above 16 which is wild

If he has any explicit photos of her it's classed as child p0*n and depending on their relationship and how they communicate if you think this is a factor it should be reported.

He also threatened violence and sorry if anything happened to your dog you would have wished his behaviour was logged.

Reaching out to the parents is difficult, it could cause more potential harm and again it is something the police can advise on and do a potential welfare check.

So today I had a Tesco delivery booked (it’s been booked for a long time) between 7-10pm with all of my Xmas food.
It got to where I was ‘stop no.3’ and the vehicle didn’t move I stayed awake incase there was a delay, no notifications at all. Needless today there was no update and no delivery.
I will call customer service but just wondered if this has happened to anyone else recently & what normally happens/where I stand legally. Thanks.

"Legally" nothing I wouldn't have thought. You might get a gesture of goodwill voucher out of them, and it's very naughty that they didn't update you - something must have happened to the van or driver. I understand it's very inconvenient though - you must be so so annoyed! Call or message them asap, if it was an emergency they might not have been able to get in touch yesterday but possible can still sort something for you today?

Thank you, I don’t do the deliveries very often either it’s typical! . I did wonder if the van had broken down but no excuse not to contact their customers.
I’ve gotten ready to go into a store today, I’ll call them but I don’t think their lines open until 10:00. Debating whether to try do the whole shop & then cancel the online order. Thank you so much.

I've always found them fast to reply on Facebook messenger. It says they're available from 7am on there. I hope you get sorted ASAP!

 

[yogiessexdubs]

Thank you so much, I got a call at 08:20 & told it would be delivered within the hour. It wasn’t but alas, it was delivered, just their customer service sucks!
Still have to pop out due some key ‘unavailable’ items! .

Feeling incredibly down as I am part of a group of 'friends' where one person in the group always tries to divide and conquer, create drama, turn us against someone else (i happen to like this person). Yet again another event was ruined by the whole thing. At this point it would be easier to completely distance myself but then I'm not exactly overflowing with other friends. I do have other friends but I don't see them as much as the other group. We are a group of 5.

It's gets me so down this time of year seeing everyone having meet ups, nights out with what looks like an amazing bunch of friends and I'm just not as our group is dysfunctional.

Where is the best place in the UK to get breast implants? and which ones would be the most natural looking if anyone has had theirs done. I’ve recently lost quite a bit of weight, I’ve kept my curves through glute focused workouts but I’ve lost my chest completely. Posted in the cosmetic procedures thread but it’s very quiet in there

I can’t really comment on the best but I would avoid silicone, rather go for saline implants
A friend had teardrop implants and the look very natural. If that is the look you are after.
But I would personally caution about getting implants. Do you feel you look out of proportion? Or did you just enjoy having a chest? It might just be a case of getting use to your new body
