Why do NBN and my ISP still call outages outside planned outages/maintenance "planned"?

I received an email/SMS from my ISP notifying me of outages this whole week: Mon-Fri starting from 12:00am for 4 hours.

An outage is ongoing right now at 12:00-1:00pm. NBN website list it as "planned". Why? It's clearly outside the planned hours with no completion time given.

If I had known I wouldn't have WFH today. Now I have to either make up the hours or use my annual leave.

Starforged Gauntlets don't work with Azir 6☆?

I don't understand why I don't start with an extra mana gem (for a total of 4) from the SFG + Luminous Orb combo when Azir should have 8 health?

The party doesn't hate the Turks enough

They carried out a false flag attack to drop the plate on sector 7, killing thousands of innocents including Barret and Tifa's friends.

They kidnapped Aerith and her mother and kept them imprisoned for Hojo.

There might have been one or two throwaway lines where they question what they're doing, but by and large they're "Just following orders" and seem to enjoy it/take pride in it.

They're basically the SS.

The party should loathe them and want to kill them on sight. Yet when the Turks are weakened in the Cetra Temple in Rebirth they just let them live? Because they were in a rush after Sephiroth (who has probably killed less people than the Turks now that I think about it)? I would make time to kill them. It's not like the party aren't willing to kill thousands of helmeted Shinra mooks.

It's even more jarring in the Remake because the party members have so much more character development.

Are there any star crystal rewards?

4.5☆ adventure and it gives measly Gold Vaults with champion fragments?

Rode a Mariyung for the first time. Waratah still undefeated.

The Mariyungs never stopped at my station so I got to ride one for the first time today due to delays/cancellations.

I'm not impressed.

I would've thought the number of seats would be the number one priority when selecting/designing which trains to buy, but I guess not. I'm told they're meant to be long distance trains, but there's also no room for bags or luggage? So everyone just puts their bags on the fewer seats already available. The seats facing each other are basically not usable due to non-existant leg room.

I don't like the taller seat backs. It makes the carriage feel so claustrophobic.

Not sure they're even better than the Oscars and Tangaras, which are always filthy.

How bad has Boost Juice become?

I used to really like them.

I thought their prices not rising or their sizes not shrinking due to inflation like their competition was admirable.

Then I realised they did something much worse: they've stopped juicing fresh fruit.

It looks like they just use processed juice? So they're literally just pouring juice from a bottle into a blender and adding some ice? For $10!?

Much worse than Top Juice and other competitors.

Riot, if you're not going to remove the god awful Bandle Tree modifier, can you at least make it count for Taliyah's level up?

Funny how quickly Riot patches issues with the Emporium offering extra items or obscure interactions that only benefit the player.

Meanwhile, this has been an issue for years and comes up in at least 3 adventures every month.

Is anyone else irritated that Riot just gives the AI the cards it needs?

Kharox in the Illaoi adventure is an example; the AI is just guaranteed 4 cards it needs in hand on top of auto-summoning 4 units on the board.

There's no power or item that explains this; Riot just gives it to the AI.

Illaoi herself is guaranteed Tentacle Smash.

It goes against the whole point of a card game.

Where does the Colombian community in Sydney hang out?

They have a club or anything they go to to watch the WC?

Is progress gated by RNG?

I bought Blue Prince during the Steam sale and it's a charming game.

But I notice I just don't make much if any progress most days. I run out of keys or rooms with north exits so I'm forced to call it a day despite having 20+ steps left.

I've unlocked the shed to the west via the garage and reached a room adjacent to the antechamber once but couldn't open it. Now I'm just playing through each day waiting for something different to appear/happen, but there seems to be no way to trigger it?

I have limited time (irl lol) to game and I'm just not sure I'll enjoy Blue Prince waiting for RNG to favour me.

Help with batten light

Hello,

Every time I try turning on my 15yo batten light it flickers for a split second before going out.

I've tried switching off the mains, replacing the bulbs, etc.

After rotating the circular connectors a bit I got one bulb to work but it's humming and doesn't work if the second bulb is also connected.

Any thing a novice can try before calling a sparkie? Common causes, parts I could try replacing myself, etc.?

Thanks!

Is anyone else petrified of their jacket/coat falling into the gross cavities next to seats on the Tangara and Oscar trains?

It's so gross.

Food scraps, hair, dirt, and grime that appear to have never been cleaned.
