De Haringvlietbrug is dicht voor onderhoud: ‘Dit levert acht weken ellende op’ (www.nrc.nl) Dutch

Ik moet geregeld vanuit Bergen op Zoom naar Bleiswijk, helaas is dat pontje voor mij geen oplossing. Vorige week vrijdag was ik gewoon 2 uur onderweg voor een route die normaal een uur duurt. Ik hoop dat de Haringvliet snel weer beschikbaar is.

What are some tips for dealing with solicitors (door-to-door salespeople)? Our neighborhood gets a lot of them.

We have a “No solicitors” sign hanging on the front door. Nevertheless, they knock, ring the doorbell, or worse, yell through the front window when it is open, trying to get our attention.

We have a Ring video doorbell and have enabled the automatic “Sorry, we’re not interested” announcement after 15 seconds. These pushy SOBs ignore the sign and the announcement.

When I ultimately find out they are soliciting and I ask why they ignored both the sign and the doorbell announcement, they usually say something like, “I’m not selling anything. I am just working with some people in the neighborhood…” or some such BS.

My wife and I work from home and have had to explain the window shouting to coworkers in meetings. We also have two small children who could be trying to nap at any given time. We have good reasons to not want to be disturbed at home and these assholes disregard that wish.

I will write a negative review online if I find out their name and company they are representing. Any other ways to get these people to leave us alone?

Rachelhazideas,

Threaten to call the cops if they don’t leave your property, and then actually call the cops when they don’t leave.

Get camera footage of them. If they show up again, file for trespassing charges.

You’re past being polite at this point. These people aren’t entitled to harassing you all day.

gentleman,

@snazzy0933 Tell them “I rent” gets rid of them immediately.

why do threads that reference articles on outside sites redirect to kbin and not the outside site? (for example, worldnews often shows the external news site, but clicking the link takes you to a kbin.social post showing all the threads referencing that news site, not the actual site and story itself)

God-Is-Love,

Thank you!! I thought I'd clicked everywhere but I'll give this a try!

Cherbal,

@Pamasich I knew it had to be something dumb, thanks for the help!

Infinity app is still working for me? Is it the same for anyone else? I'm loading by new and I'm still getting new posts.

The Dev has posted that Infinity will remain working and free until their paid subscription update is released. How they are achieving this I am unsure. The other reddit client I have installed, Stealth, which I just browse on anonymously, is still working also.

The dev said the app will be free to use until the update is published

I personally have just plugged in my own API key which was much easier than I expected. You can do that here

Gotta say, kbin.social is looking more like what I wanted from Reddit in the first place than Reddit does.... I may be dropping that account soon.
