Why did you choose to highlight that particular review, William? The reviewer in question awarded the product three stars, but the surrounding reviews give it a rating of only one star.
Rubbish ⭐️ (13th September 2022)
Rubbish. Doesn't even grip the lid, never mind twist it.
No use at all ⭐️ (9th September 2022)
Absolutely useless. Does no grip at all. More grip with a damp cloth! Complete waste of money
ok ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ (31st August 2022)
ok for opening the ice valley water bottles which are impossibly tight lidded. Saves me breaking what teeth i have left, but could be a tad sturdier as didnt get cap right the way off.
Useless ⭐️ (29th January 2022)
So far, every time I have used this it has failed to open the jar or bottle and I've had to find something else to do the job. The design is so poor; a big rubber band would have more grip and be more effective.
Rubbish ⭐️ (12th December 2021)
Rubbish, hard to fit onto lids and just does not work!
I suppose so. 20:00 GMT is 12:00 on the Pacific coast of Canada and the US, and 09:00 in most of NZ (but only 06:00 in Brisbane).
William wrote:So what would 11 pm to 7 am Aotearoa time be in UK time?
At the time of writing, it’s shortly after 6pm on Friday in the UK and 7am on Saturday in Eric’s neck of the woods.

A time of day that suits everyone could be rather tricky! You and I are in the UK, Geoff is in Washington, Eric is in Aotearoa, etc.
An interesting idea. I see that they offer a selection of Censored Stories.
It hadn’t occurred to me that anyone here might want such a thing! What form should it take? Who’s going to supply and distribute the food and drink?

Long, long before! PPX9 is version 19; BookPlus was added for PP10, released well over a decade ago.
A lovely example of what’s known as a ‘dangler’:
More common during the winter months, scientists have uncovered the biological reason why colds are more prevalent in colder temperatures.
It’s colds, not scientists, that are more common during the winter months!

jackneve wrote:I remain puzzled by Alfred's music post yesterday
The musical one (‘Für Elise Navidad’) is simply a variation on the preceding ‘For Lease Navidad’ one, both playing on the traditional Spanish Christmas greeting, ‘Feliz Navidad’.
William wrote:When I saw the card it reminded me of an optician's chart when having an eye test, though those charts had about six lines.
Yes, it is rather reminiscent of that!
GB wrote:Daylight Saving Time does not coincide with BST
DST in the US and Canada (where observed, which isn’t everywhere) begins sooner and ends later than BST. I haven’t checked to see what the situation is in continental Europe.
Jarte is quite nice. It’s a pity it’s no longer being developed, but on the positive side this means that the ‘premium’ version is now available for free.
The other advantage of using a separate text editor is that it keeps a copy of the text in case your browser decides to crash before you’ve had a chance to post a longish message.

Thank you, kind sir!

William wrote:For me, there is not congruently a fixed billing month.
I get a reminder email to send a reading about the 23rd of each calendar month.
Notionally my readings are due on 28th of each month.
As usual, I am unsure about the significance of the word ‘congruently’ here. That aside, if your readings are notionally due on the 28th of each month, then I would say that your billing month ends on that date.
You should have received the £66 by the end of the calendar month, irrespective of when your billing month begins and ends.
As discussed previously, there’s nothing like the Undo/Redo toolbar buttons that we had on the CommunityPlus Forum. For those who want full control of such things, I suspect that the simplest solution would be to use a separate text editor to compose the message (which could then be copied and pasted into a text box here).
jackneve wrote:This, otherwise interesting post, started as a request to confirm that GMT/DST switching is not automatic.
Please can anyone verify that?
As forum administrator, I have access to a Settings option labelled ‘Daylight saving time (advance times by 1 hour).’ It seems that this setting is indeed not automatic, so I have now cleared the associated checkbox.
jackneve wrote:William, as you post an amazing number of web links, it would be helpful for you to include a short description of what we would find in the destination.
As it happens, William has actually included a short description via the thread title “They were correct”, but that isn’t obvious until you click on the link and see the headline “Historical figures called crazy, who were right all along”.

Me too!
