You’re more than welcome, glad it helped. Stay positive, friend! 👍

I kinda get the impression they bite, a lot.

Thank you 😊

You are 100% correct, negative news has a greater impact on people than positive: https://assets.csom.umn.edu/assets/71516.pdf

Media sites know this, and use it to drive engagement:

And so, negative headlines are getting worse: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0276367

But negative news is addictive and psychologically damaging: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/why-we-worry/202009/the-psychological-impact-negative-news

So it’s important to try and stay positive:

OK, but what if you’re still haunting the house, but a new person legally buys it and then invites the Vampire in? Who’s preference takes precedent?

No, because you didn’t grant it consent to enter prior to death.

Business groups accuse ministers of introducing a thicket of red tape as the government bans exploitative zero-hours contracts, ends “fire and rehire” tactics, introduces basic rights from day one and protects workers against unfair dismissal.

Amazing how it’s always businesses complaining when the regulations are designed to improve things for their employees, eh?

To be honest, yes I do. It’s been less than a year and already Labour has ‘failed’. At least give them time. I’m not saying they’re going to fix everything, but they’ll be a damn sight better than the Tories.

I have a S10 and I use Bixby routines to turn the ‘Protect battery’ feature on over night, which limits the battery charge to 85%. I have it set to turn off about an hour before I wake up so that it’s fully charged in the morning.
