My experience with push fit and press fit is that if they aren't perfectly done (or have a manufacturing defect) they can appear to be secure, only to fail catastrophically at some random point hours/years in the future...
With a solder joint or a traditional compression fitting (the ones with olives) it's obvious if the connection is no good.
I think the implication is that it’s gotten so long that people can’t be bothered to finish filling it out… (Anecdotally I can back this up—the one time I’ve remembered to fill it out in time, it took like 10 minutes…I haven’t bothered to fill it since)
Many buildings also have their own postcode!
(The second half of the postcode represents the 'delivery point' which is basically limited by the amount of post that the postman/woman can physically carry...)
I’m surprised you mention RS in the same breath as McMaster— their website is awful. Yes, you can put in very detailed parameters, but if you want a fairly generic part (like a DPDT 12v relay) you’re presented with hundreds of options, only one of which will be in stock— which they only tell you after you add it to your trolley… Given that RS is mostly ‘I need one of this part, tomorrow’ the inability to filter by stock completely ruins the usability of the site. It’s bad enough that I just use Farnell or Rapid—who both let you filter by stock—despite their sometimes worse selection. (and about a year or so ago the RS site stored state on the server side so if you hit the back button, or opened something in a new window the site would freak out and bring you back to the homepage)
I can only speak for the UK, but FM here sounds considerably better than DAB because stations on DAB are usually 32 or 64kbps & mono since they want to fit as many stations into the multiplex...

The one feature that everyone seems to be missing with these tutorials is a simple tool to have people confirm that they would like to accept the forwarded call... I'm helping a mutual aid group and we have a list of people whose phones all ring simultaneously (meaning that inevitably someones voicemail answers first) and I have yet to find an easy way to implement a simple "Press any key to accept this call" where the first person to answer AND press any key gets the call...
