The face you make when someone asks about canister vacuums
  • I bought one after reading those posts (second hand). It was great, but unfortunately I broke the hose and after trying and failing to replace it I gave up and bought a different vacuum.

    Not sure what it's availability is like outside the UK but numatic Henry vacuums are cheap, simple, easily repairable and robust. If you don't mind the silly smiley face in the front it's a great option.

  • As an OG Reddit Sync user of over 10 years, all this arguing really brings a tear to my eye. 🥲
  • Have been using the Sync reddit app daily for years after paying a couple of quid to remove ads whenever I did that. Felt like a steal then and expensive now so, on balance, I'm comfortable having paid the ad randsome. I feel better knowing it all goes to the developer for his personal efforts.

  • 'I voted for Brexit and heard it wouldn’t affect us, now I can't live in my £13k Italian house'
  • Just because you are told something it doesn't mean you can rely on it.

    It's clear that leaving the EU would mean new treaties between the UK and EU and it is obvious that immigration rules would change. There were many people saying many different things about how they would change, but if he had just tried to apply some logic he should have come to the conclusion that, at best, his right to live in the EU was at risk.

  • What is the weirdest thing/subject/etc someone has gatekept at you (if that makes sense)?
  • Cricket is great and it takes a lot of time to get under the skin of the sport and understand the intricacies. It's also easy to take the piss out of because of the slow paced nature of 5 day test matches and the funny jargon.

    Sounds like he was either being a little bit gatekeepy because he couldn't be bothered to explain the rules or he was a bit sensitive to having his sport ridiculed... or maybe he was just being polite and turned it off to socialise

  • Growing this community

    I used to love browsing /r/rugbyunion before leaving that platform. It is out of season at the moment but with the world cup a couple of months away, does anybody have any ideas on how we can use the run up to the WC to grow this community?

    "Russia's security forces are reported to be in disarray following the attempted mutiny by the Wagner Group." - Long update that is bonkers inside
  • Haven't they been providing protection services to gold mines in Africa in exchange for mining concessions? I think that it how they are primarily funded now as opposed to being funded only by Russian intelligence agencies.

    I'm just regurgitating what I heard on the radio this morning but sounds mercenary like to me.
