Our routine would be to drive into a small or mid-sized city at around 3 or 4 p.m., find the tourist office, consult their list of possible bnbs and start phoning. We invariably would find nearby a wonderful bed and breakfast for that night and maybe two or three more nights in an owner-managed and -occupied house. Then we would move on.<br/><br/>We spent three summers that way and managed to see most of Britain. How does this translate to today? <br>I realize that 50 years have passed. I'm also aware of Airbnb. Is anything like this still possible, either through Airbnb or in some other market?<br>The two main points to my mind are 1) owner-occupied and -managed; and 2) available at very short notice.<br>If these exist, how would I go about finding them?<br>Thanks.]]></description> <link>https://ask.metafilter.com/385653/Tips-for-finding-one-night-bed-and-breakfasts-in-England-at-short-notice</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:ask.metafilter.com,2025:site.385653</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 09 May 2025 20:26:55 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>feelinggood</dc:creator> <category>bedandbreakfast</category> <category>bnb</category> <category>bnbEngland</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://ask.metafilter.com/385653/Tips-for-finding-one-night-bed-and-breakfasts-in-England-at-short-notice/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>The most comfortable sheets in the world??</title> <description><![CDATA[Looking for the above!

We got him gradually out of his isolation and after a day, he hurtled through a door that was open a crack and was gone for a month. Someone found him last night. He's injured but will hopefully heal but the vet said it's critical for him to eat. And he's not. We've tried 3 kinds of dry, 2 kinds of wet, Churu, the treats his previous owner fed him (i.e. he was ONLY fed treats), and the warmed up tinned fish the vet suggested and nothing. He's drinking a little water but we need to do better than that. He got a shot of Cerenia that's supposed to help with appetite 3 hours ago. Any ideas?

It works great. I can fill the place with lovely noise from various streaming sources (Pandora, Soma, etc.) from the Roku.<br><br>Last weekend, our son gifted us with his old TV (he got a new one.) Sounds cool. But, after looking it over, there seems to be no way to get it connected to our sound system. The new TV appears to have only <em>inputs</em> (HDMI, component, USB, etc.) There are RCA audio-in jacks, but no outs. The only output is a minijack for headphones (which isn't an option, as I assume using it would mute the tv's speakers.) There's also an HDMI-ARC slot, but that isn't going to work for me.<br><br>Is there an easy way to get audio out from the TV to the sound system? Or am I out of luck on this one? I can't be the first old to encounter this issue (right?) <br><br>Will this be an issue with any new TV today, or are they still making TVs with proper audio outs?]]></description> <link>https://ask.metafilter.com/385647/Can-New-Talk-to-Old</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:ask.metafilter.com,2025:site.385647</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 09 May 2025 16:36:35 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>Thorzdad</dc:creator> <category>connections</category> <category>hdmi</category> <category>rca</category> <category>stereo</category> <category>television</category> <category>Tv</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://ask.metafilter.com/385647/Can-New-Talk-to-Old/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>MAGA prophetess with odd, halting vocal delivery</title> <description><![CDATA[Sadly, a loved one has succumbed to the brain rot. I overheard them listening to a right-wing conspiracy religious right MAGA woman today. Prophecies about Joe Biden, how Putin has information that he's going to give to Trump, how the truth will come out about January 6th, how the former administration was causing deep harm in Africa. Assuming this last bit is about how USAID was secretly intentionally harming Africans...<br/><br/>The speaker had an odd, sort of halting delivery. Very stylized. Very vague. Assuming it's someone who posts pretty regularly and is fairly popular. Google has failed me. It's not any of the following: Laura Loomer, Julie Green, Paula White Cane, Cindy Jacobs or Kat Kerr.

Not talking about abusive things here just general life/relationship situations. And yet I generally don't make a fuss about it and I just let it go. Very rarely is there a time where in the heat of the moment I get angry or upset to their face. But behind closed doors I'm often deeply upset about certain things or situations. I think a lot of it is because I'm afraid I will damage the relationship by saying something or it's just not worth the drama. Or maybe it's because I worry I'm too sensitive. Looking for any thoughts...is it bad that I do this? Should I make an effort to try and change this?]]></description> <link>https://ask.metafilter.com/385645/I-often-dont-tell-others-when-they-do-or-say-something-that-bothers-me</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:ask.metafilter.com,2025:site.385645</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 09 May 2025 15:31:17 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>ljs30</dc:creator> <category>feelings</category> <category>hurt</category> <category>relationships</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://ask.metafilter.com/385645/I-often-dont-tell-others-when-they-do-or-say-something-that-bothers-me/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>Why won't my casement window open?</title> <description><![CDATA[I have a crank-style casement window that closes all the way, but will only open a couple of inches before stopping abruptly with a bit of a clank.

How pot get closeure?</title> <description><![CDATA[I have <a href="https://wonderchef.com.au/products/wonerchef-nigella-pressure-cooker-inner-lid-regular-5l">this stainless steel pressure cooker.</a> It has an oval lid that seats against the inside of the pot's inward-turned lip, so that internal pressure acts to tighten rather than loosen the seal. How is this style of pot made?<br/><br/>Forming the other common style of pressure cooker - the one with outward-facing tabs on the lip of the pot that engage with complementary catches in the lid - is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgX06cx9xPw">straightforward</a>, requiring just a huge and brutal stamping press. But I can't see how an inner die could escape from the inside of the inner-lid style of pot once formed, given that the lid aperture is smaller than the pot's inside diameter. Nor can I see any sign of marks inside the pot that might reveal places where some hypothetical multi-part puzzle-style inner die might have slid apart. Can anybody point me to video of the machinery involved?<br><br>Bonus question: given that both are made from stainless steel sheet of about the same thickness, how come it's feasible to stamp nice smooth and fairly extreme compound curves into cheap pots and pans but not into the body panels for the Cybertruck?]]></description> <link>https://ask.metafilter.com/385643/How-is-cooker-formed-How-pot-get-closeure</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:ask.metafilter.com,2025:site.385643</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 09 May 2025 15:02:28 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>flabdablet</dc:creator> <category>InnerLid</category> <category>Manufacturing</category> <category>PressureCooker</category> <category>Resolved</category> <category>SheetMetal</category> <category>StainlessSteel</category> <category>Stamping</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://ask.metafilter.com/385643/How-is-cooker-formed-How-pot-get-closeure/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>LyricFilter request!</title> <description><![CDATA[What is this song?"It'd be so easy...It'd be so easy...It'd be so easy...Easy as falling down..."Slow beat, female vocalist.

How did this work?</title> <description><![CDATA[An extra credit card was sent to my address from my bank despite the secured app on my phone being the only possible way to order a new card. Also, no big expenditures can be done on the card without the app as dual factor authentication. My bank says they do not know how/why. You are not my bank. Any ideas?<br/><br/>It has been a bad year for credit cards and me! This is a different card and a different bank than my last Ask. For information, this is a Dutch bank. <br><br>I am writing this from a business trip in China. Yesterday my card would not work. When I logged into my app I saw my card had been deactivated because a new card was on the way which had been ordered two days before. Which I did not order. I immediately blocked the new card and reactivated my existing card.<br><br>The card I did not order arrived at my house last night. <br><br>Here's the thing-- the bank app is a two-factor authentication and tied to my individual phone-- they know my phone parameters and a new phone cannot be added without approval from the existing app. There is no way to order a new card without using the app. You cannot activate a new card without the app. You cannot access the app without facial recognition. <br><br>The bank has no idea how the card was ordered because there is only one way to order it-- via the app. Nothing exceptional was recorded by the bank.<br><br>The bank is clearly worried and has opened a case. I'm worried. But there is also just the possibility of bank error. They nearly sent me a new card in January because of a false positive security alert when I was traveling in Indonesia. Maybe this is the same thing, but they have no record. <br><br>If this is a scam, how would they do it? Given the card cannot be used without approving purchases in the app, how would it work? Is this a scam which exists in other countries?]]></description> <link>https://ask.metafilter.com/385639/Credit-Card-fraud-maybe-How-did-this-work</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:ask.metafilter.com,2025:site.385639</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 09 May 2025 02:01:32 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>frumiousb</dc:creator> <category>bankfraud</category> <category>creditcards</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://ask.metafilter.com/385639/Credit-Card-fraud-maybe-How-did-this-work/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>I don't mean to bug you but...</title> <description><![CDATA[What is this bug?

Highlights include a witch falling (?) into the fountain of youth.<br/><br/>I watched this movie (over and over) as a loan from our local library in New Jersey in the early 90's and it seems to have been made then, or in the 80's. It was with real people rather than animation, though there could have been some animatronics but that doesn't stand out to me. <br><br>The key part I remember is a witch-type character on sort of a dreamscape of pastels + garden features (?? leaning in to a fountain of youth. The kid main characters may have defeated her by pushing her in at the end. There may also be an aspect of going through a mirror/portal between real life and the dreamscape +parallel characters. <br><br>The closest I can find is the <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jl3-c5v_-Rc">Hugga Bunch</a> movie which seems right in terms of overall vibes and the portal/magic mirror +fountain of youth plot points, but is missing that key scene of the which in a type of dreamscape at the fountain. It's very likely this was a made for kids movie or tv episode and I don't think it was a major motion picture release. <br><br>This has been driving me crazy for decades now- any ideas?]]></description> <link>https://ask.metafilter.com/385635/On-the-tip-of-my-tongue-for-30-years</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:ask.metafilter.com,2025:site.385635</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 08 May 2025 23:41:33 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>raccoon409</dc:creator> <category>Kidsmovie</category> <category>Madefortv</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://ask.metafilter.com/385635/On-the-tip-of-my-tongue-for-30-years/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>broker for subletting in NYC</title> <description><![CDATA[Is there someone reputable we can pay to organize a subletter for a NYC apartment?<br/><br/>I have a sick relative in NYC who may need to move in with me very soon.

Difficulty level: This is the first plant I haven't killed... ever.<br/><br/>I "planted" 3 tomato plants and 3 basil plants in an Aerogarden about 5 months ago. They took a long time to do anything, (longer than the instructions said) and then shot up. After a few "they must be dead?" moments, they are still giving off tons of little cherry tomatoes, as well as leaves of basil. It's hard to tell how the basil is doing as one of the kids eats the leaves as soon as they get big enough, but he claims to be eating a lot). The plants are too big for the counter, and are getting burned on the lights - so it's time to transplant.<br><br><br>I have a sunny South facing balcony, and some big pots full of dead weeds that the previous owners left behind (15 years ago). I'm not good at plants. How do I get the plants from inside to outside?]]></description> <link>https://ask.metafilter.com/385633/Transplanting-Tomatoes-for-Dummies</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:ask.metafilter.com,2025:site.385633</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 08 May 2025 21:05:18 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>Valancy Rachel</dc:creator> <category>garden</category> <category>gardening</category> <category>plants</category> <category>tomoatoes</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://ask.metafilter.com/385633/Transplanting-Tomatoes-for-Dummies/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>Biochemistry questions help</title> <description><![CDATA[My niece is studying for her undergraduate final exams in biochemistry, and has got in a state. Can you help me find her examples of biochemistry exam questions to test herself with?<br/><br/>My niece usually studies for exams by practising past papers. Her university changed the format of the exam papers a couple of years ago, which means that there are only two years' worth of past papers. Can you suggest any website or resource which would give her questions she could practice on?<br><br>I have uploaded examples of the sort of questions she's looking for to Flickr: Information Transfer in Biological Systems <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/200196599@N06/54506415423/in/dateposted-ff">One</a> and <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/200196599@N06/54506330424/in/dateposted-ff">Two</a>; <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/200196599@N06/54506497715/in/dateposted-ff">Cell in Time and Space</a>; <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/200196599@N06/54505280467/in/dateposted-ff">Molecular Processes in the Cell</a>; <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/200196599@N06/54506145526/in/dateposted-ff">Cell Chemistry</a>.<br><br>These are third-year undergraduate exams. Each of these papers continues to longer essay questions, but it's these shorter questions she wants to practice; there's some brief information about the topics covered in <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/200196599@N06/54506195351/in/dateposted-ff">this image</a>.<br><br>I realise that she should be going to her tutors or departmental staff for help with this. She has got stressed to the point she can't consider doing that. We are on the case with getting her other support and helping her manage her anxiety - this question is just about finding resources for questions she can practice on. We are going to see if ChatGPT can generate anything useful for her too. Hope this question is clear; it's difficult trying to support her at a distance and in an area that none of the rest of the family knows anything about. Thanks for any help.]]></description> <link>https://ask.metafilter.com/385632/Biochemistry-questions-help</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:ask.metafilter.com,2025:site.385632</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 08 May 2025 21:04:09 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>paduasoy</dc:creator> <category>anxiety</category> <category>biochemistry</category> <category>examresources</category> <category>exams</category> <category>examstress</category> <category>finals</category> <category>revision</category> <category>university</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://ask.metafilter.com/385632/Biochemistry-questions-help/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
