Stranger Things: Series 3 — Episode 2— Chapter 2: The Mall Rats— A Review

20th July, 2019.

Did you know I do a lot of stuff on Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar?

I do a lot of stuff on here: including the (possibly) notorious Daily Teasers.

Something that I mentioned this morning?

Was that I’d had an internal hard drive for sale.

Except my local CeX wouldn’t accept it: as there was an unanticipated extra partition there, that prevented access to the rest of the drive.

So … ?



Well, the only thing I could do, was post a question to the relevant Apple forums, to see what could be dragged up.

This thread?   Gave me a potential answer.

Or, at least, a set of commands I could use, in Terminal*.

Thankfully?

It worked!

I was able to sell the drive to the Brentwood branch of CeX, this morning.

Result!

At any rate … ?



It’s Saturday: which means … more TV, frankly!

That’s right: more of the Netflix sensation that is Stranger Things series 3.

5th December, 2017

Oh, I hate that when that happens.

Power cuts, that is.

The electricity for me, the chap next doors, and a woman on the top floor?

Went off at two, this afternoon.

And didn’t get restored until about 5:30.

Thankfully, with very little damage done: beyond the inconvenience.

Damage, low … 

Laundry … ?

Practically non-existent … !

However?

It seems the electricity is back on.

Something to do with the phase involved with the power distribution in the cupboard in our building: rather than at the nearest substation.

If nothing else?

That let’s me do some laundry, make some videos … and catch a little TV.

Yes … 

You’re right: series 2 of Stranger Things …

3rd December, 2017

OK, it’s a Sunday night: a Sunday night, at the end of a day off doing nothing more special than shopping … 

And complaining at Amazon.

I’ll give them their due: they get stuff to a body in good time.   Especially given it’s December, and coming up for Christmas.

But … ?   I’ve got a default space place on record with Amazon.   In other words, a neighbour that a Amazon driver can leave stuff with, should I be out when they try and deliver.

If I’m not in and the designated neighbour isn’t?

Usually, they try again, later, or on another day.

This weekend’s deliveries?

Left on my door mat, in plain view of anyone wandering around the building.

I’ve complained.   And been told by Amazon they’ll be having words with the relevant driver.

I’m … well … not totally happy: especially as this happened with a couple of deliveries, last year.

But that will have to do for now.

At any rate?

I had a Sunday night free: some time to spend, in other words.

Free time … 

And nothing to watch on regular TV.

Unless you count the recently released second series of Stranger Things …
