@CHAS said: @AndyD Saw the first episode. Will watch more. Series 3 seems to concern rare earth mineral mining on Svalbard, Arctic Circle.

That's ok. The Florida choices have been non-existent since before DeSantis. This was a Democrat state when I was born in '67 until the election in 2000.

UGH

@Rontuner said: My dad used to swear by ammonia... The site I saw that recommended rubbing alcohol also said ammonia is an option. If you want a treatment that works for a long time, I've been using Aquapel for about a decade. If rubbed in properly, you shouldn't get any of the haze. Thanks, I’ll look that up!

Um... are we allowing multiple-word responses?

The phase out is inevitable given more modern alternatives; the logic is similar to the demise of long wave radio. Mobile phones' connectivity coverage now works well nearly everywhere (at least in our tiny country). People prefer them because they can carry them everywhere, internationally. They now support video, and are a multifunctional computer camera calculator. We have a copper phone landline which was used until recently for the Internet, though like many, we've had installed a fast full-fibre cable. And probably like many households, as we decorate, we remove the old phone sockets.

"Narcissus can't recognize what he's seeing isn't someone else." Right. He didn't know it was himself. The psychological relationship between the mythological character and narcissists IRL is parallel.

I have nothing nice to say but I don't care. This situation is putrid.

I said it in another thread. I'll say it again. To each his own.
