As the title suggestions, my Dyson V12 slim filter is at the end of its life.
A replacement via the Dyson website is just under £20. The aftermarket equivalent on Amazon is about £12 for 2.
It's not a huge difference and I'm happy to pay the extra for the original but from your personal experience, is the Amazon equivalent any good? Thanks
I've never really been a good cook. Fortunately, I've always had people around me who enjoy cooking, so I've left them to it.
Considering it's a basic survival skill, I really should start learning. How did you learn to cook? Any suggestions on how I can keep it enjoyable so I don't lose interest?

As we approach the end of this season, I want to give a special shout out to the steam room levels of sweat this season has produced.
Collecting 100+ sprites, having to master them, getting hunted off the battle bus, team mates not reviving you to steal your sprite etc. It's been a mess.
Whatever comes after this, I really hope it brings back the fun because this season has felt like a part time job.
Heard a loud noise from the kitchen, went to have a look and the glass on the oven door has smashed.
It wasn’t on at the time and there was nothing inside poking the glass. No kids or animals around either.
Any ideas why this has happened?
I need lvl 5 of the following - ZP Gold, ZP Galaxy, ZP Gem, ZP Holo, ZP Cube
I can offer a Gem Water or Gem Duck or Gem Demon (likely lower level)
Looking for quick trades please + If you have a bot lobby even better.
What are we thinking?
Are people still collecting them or are we looking forward to the end of this chapter?
The last two in the collection if anyone would be kind enough to donate. Thanks
Thank you Reddit and in particular this community.
Until about a week ago I'd never even heard of Miller's Crossing. I'd seen all the usual gangster movies - Goodfellas, Casino, Donnie Brasco etc, but for whatever reason this one had gone completely under the radar until someone on here recommended it.
It might sound silly but it made me a little emotional watching it. Like a step back in time. What movies used to be like before the huge budgets and endless special effects. It's just honest movie making.
The sets, the costumes, the music, the acting. All perfect. I knew the Coen brothers were good at what they did but this just confirms that for me.
If you need something to watch this week/weekend, don't look any further.
So I just went into a ZB squad game with a Quack Zero Point on my back. One particular team member took an interest and on mic kept demanding I give it to him. Ignoring him I kept on playing but knew it wouldn't end well.
When I had some distance between us....I extracted the Quack ZP with a portable extractor and stuck another common sprite on. Eventually I got knocked by an enemy player, he comes flying over and puts me on his back, refusing to revive me until I die. (Hoping I had the QZP in my inventory).
It ended with him realising he'd been tricked, screaming at me on mic and me telling him to F*** OFF before leaving.
It's wild out there!
I don't think I've ever come out on top in a 1 vs 1 with this thing unless it's against a bot and even then I’ve had a few close calls!
The damage it causes isn't great and reloading after each shot takes forever. Overall it's just an awful weapon to carry.
As someone who's never actually owned a folding phone but had a passing interest, I'm really looking forward to the release of the new iPhone Fold (Ultra?). Samsung has been the obvious choice if I ever wanted to switch, but I couldn't get on board with their software/ecosystem.
I love the idea of a smaller device in your pocket, then being able to unfold this larger tablet-like screen but I do feel the novelty of using it would eventually wear out.
I've seen many examples of apps running at the wrong aspect ratio with excess space to the sides. Constantly unfolding the phone must also get tedious. I'd eventually start using the front screen more and more. Durability is another area that worries me. Not necessarily the folding mechanism but how delicate these devices feel.
I'm hoping Apple can nail this new model. Whether I can actually afford one, is another issue.
What are your thoughts on folding phones?
I live in a building with about 12 flats. They're spread over 3 floors and there's access to a lift. All the floors are clearly marked out and it takes about 1 min to get to my flat.
Until about a year ago, drivers would deliver parcels directly to my door. 8 times out of 10 they would hand it to you or in the worst case, leave it by your door.
In the last year or so, they've all stopped doing that. All of the drivers, all at once.
They now leave packages in the front communal area or in some cases outside the building entrance. I've personally had items stolen twice and other residents even more.
I've written to complain to Amazon, they apologise, nothing is done and it just keeps happening.
Is this a new policy by Amazon where packages are just dumped at the front of larger buildings to save time? or are drivers just lazy and its become the new norm?
What happened to the days of getting a delivery.....delivered!
If you need a Western to watch this weekend and have been through all the usual recommendations (like me), don't look any further. 'Old Henry' will hit the spot.
I only came across this movie a few nights ago and really glad I did.
It's a not an overly complicated story, simple but effective. The acting is good, the shoot outs are entertaining and it's a cool twist on a well known character. It won't take all night to watch either at 1hr 39mins long.
As someone who just buys what I need for the next week or two, I don't pay much attention to best before/use by dates. On the odd occasion, something will have gone off in the fridge so I'll bin it.
I recently went into my local Pound shop (Dollar store) and saw they were selling biscuits that I normally buy for £1.50 for......£1 for 3 packs! The best before date was June 26 but I took a gamble. I got home, opened them and they were perfect. As good as the regular ones I buy.
It made me wonder, is the use by/best before date an attempt by the manufacturers to make people bin perfectly good food and spend money on more, therefore increasing their profits or is it a genuine attempt to ensure their product is consumed in its best condition/in a safe period?
Also, how long after the use by date do most people find it acceptable to consume food? Anything over a few months and I think I'd start to worry.
Find the sprite, level up the sprite, don't lose the sprite, extract the sprite, 5 variants of the sprite, a new batch of sprites, a bottle of sprite.
Im spirited out.
If it wasn't for the perks and slight edge it gives you, I wouldn't even bother collecting them but....gotta catch'em all!
This is a very subjective topic and I risk sounding like a disgruntled old man but....what the f*** is going on with recent car designs?
It's like manufacturers are competing to make the ugliest car possible: Mercedes AMG GT, Ferrari Luce, BMW X5 '27, etc. They refuse to learn from each other's mistakes.
I'm sure older generations said the same about cars made in the last 30-40 years, but I feel the introduction of electric motors and the design language around them has sent us down a path nobody wants.
There is some hope, though. I recently saw a Lamborghini Revuelto, which was a real head-turner (I've always loved Lamborghini — they make cars for your inner child) and the Audi Nuvolari looks very cool, like something from a Batman movie.
I really hope this is just a bad patch and we can go back to enjoying beautiful cars in the near future.
