Crickey! Can someone please help me troubleshoot my new GoPro? I take videos, but when I play them back through the app there is only sound and no image. The screen is just black. What is wrong here?

I've already restarted my phone.

Desperate here!

@lacraia I have an android though. But the problem does seem to be as you described. I finally used a USB cable to transfer files to my laptop, then uploaded to my YouTube page as a private video. I could then view it.

We all have a slimy tentacle poking about inside our skulls. It's called the tongue. You're now aware of it. :trollface:​

I asked the shopkeeper about this sourdough bread I bought, and he says it's Turkish bread. It's quite good. They don't sell anything like it at the supermarket or local bakery.

@mansr Crickey!

deirdrespencer, to WordoftheDay

My son gave me a book of (very) short stories by Nabokov for my birthday, and in the first tale, “The Wood-Sprite,” I came across a wonderful word that was new to me: tintinnabulation, meaning a ringing or tinkling sound.

It rather delighted me, so I thought I’d share it with you.

FYI:

From Wikipedia: Arvo Pärt is an Estonian composer of contemporary classical music. Since the late 1970s, Pärt has worked in a minimalist style that employs tintinnabuli, a compositional technique he invented.

@Malleus She's a mixed bag. Some of her stuff is great and some of it is just awful. I'm not sure she has a definitive album, but my personal all-time favorite is Stinkfist, which she did with Clint Ruin.

Her spoken word stuff is much more engaging than a lot of her music.
