- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 3 weeks ago:
Ok the only people that can help you are the council, noise complaints are the responsibility your local council unfortunately, given the cuts that have happened over the years this means that they are underfunded. What you need to do is get the local noise complaints number and call it every single time it happens. This is what is called a statutory noise complaint. Just Google it. At the same time you need to start a noise complaint diary,
the columns are date, start time, end time, severity*, weather, and details.
Severity is on a scale of 0 to 4, with 0 been nothing and 4 been OMFG argh. Details need to include what type of noise it is and most importantly how it affects you. Headache? Lack of sleep, emotional distress? Got to town however remember that this is going to be a legal document that could get used in court eventually. Also important is to do it daily even if there is no noise. Include if you are away on holiday etc if it regularly happens on a weekend etc. The council should send you this info after the first couple of incidents
Now for the nighttime banging on the walls and screaming, if it just randomly starts in the middle of the night that sounds to me like someone is or could be having domestic abuse. I apologise in advance if this upsets people. You should contact the police and let the know that.
If any of your neighbours are affected try to get the in on it as well, it’s much more effective with multiple people.
Eventually you will be asked to place a “noise recording device” in the room that is most affected, at this point you know something is finally going to be done about, eventually…
If you have any remote possibility of moving house in the next year or so don’t go down this route as i believe that you have to declare it to the next house buyer
The problem we have in the UK is that most of the laws, procedures and police are built around people not wanting to be complete knobheads. Unfortunately the people have realised this and also realised there are no consequences for their actions

- Comment on How do I decrease acne after shaving my face? 1 month ago:
Is it acne or in growing hairs causing the acne? Try not shaving against the direction of growth, do across or with the growth. I use a wet alum block sometimes, helps with small cuts and irritation after, however it stings like fuck. One block will last you a life time unless you drop it. Also a face scrub can help the day after, however the wife has an oil based soft one that makes my skin worse, I have to use a more aggressive non oily one

Wasn’t aimed at you, more of an observation, fttp in the UK is usually sold as 150/150 or 900/900(ish) with some areas having the option for 2.5gbps it’s like when it first launched and ISPs had usage quotas that could be gone in 3 hours of full usage

- Comment on eBay makes you wait a week to rate a sale as anything other than positive. 11 months ago:
I had a fake item sent to me, reported to eBay to request a refund, got an immediate refund, seller asked to return the item. I said no, its fake I’ll bin it. Left negative feedback that the items are fake. eBay then removed the review and let the seller keep selling. At least he had one less item to sell and was out of pocket on postage

I get it too, but it was a bit of a shock given that the selling points for everything is bigger better faster stronger, otherwise why would people upgrade. It’s like finding something with a micro USB port on it instead of type c

My canon ink tank type printer from mid COVID era is the same, didn’t realise it was only 10/100 on the wired port until I was looking at the switch one day and wondered why I had a yellow light instead of green, was about to run a new network cable until I checked the printer
