I find it significantly harder to cook with electric than gas, and the first hurdle these days is always that for some reason all modern stoves use awful touch interfaces instead o…

You can not improve on perfection!

Instead of just various penis challenged nation leaders doing so...

I agree Thimbleweed Park was a little rough, a bit like Maniac Mansion if you like. What gives me hope is that Monkey Island 5 was really really good, so I feel he's back in his gr…

I did that, and had to take a bollocking from the HR guy at the company I took the first offer from, but I don't regret it.

It might not work in your scenario, but I too listen to radio a lot and found the signal issues annoying. My car is pretty old and doesn't have aux/bluetooth input so I can't plug …

I believe it's what is called a joke. I'm with you, I don't like them either.

I don't necessarily agree with all these measures, but there is a lot more harm in social media than just pedophiles hunting children.

Conveniently the hammer is deceptively similar to the cross in general shape.

As a non-American I agree with this. There is a whole different energy to Americans in terms of mindset compared to Europeans (not just in business). I think Europe have outstandin…

LSL 1 EGA specifically is pretty much how I learned English. It was certainly much more efficient than my teachers :)

at this point you're barely the product either. You're more a passive platform for them to execute their strategy on.

`constantly analyze other people's perception of you` I find this a really hard trap to escape...

There are so many examples of this. Processed food, sweets and so on. Cadbury, Toblerone, etc live on the brand recognition, but have come objectively worse over the years. Often t…

Because even the UK is getting fed up with Trump? They literally started preparing to deploy on of the carriers to the Gulf and Trump basically told them to fuck off because they w…

They will have an app that asks to scan you passport with your phone's NFC reader. It's pretty common for Identity Verification.

For a long time I self hosted Gitlab, and was always quite happy with it, but I recently moved my VPS and decided to give Forgejo a try, and I have to say it's refreshing. It's rea…

It's infuriating, the other day I had to download an app to pay for parking. What the fuck do I need the top choice to be a competing parking app? That won't do me any good when th…

it shows there is a demand!

They have also arbitrarily decided not to pay out if you fall below a certain threshold, which hits smaller artists as well. Of course part of the problem is that the pay out is so…

The one I found most devious was the ATMs in Stansted that offers to pay out Euro. I was going to Spain and knew I would need some cash on arrival, so I thought I could save a bit …

And Joe Rogan...

Interesting, I think for the older generation me included at the age of 45, it can be jarring to miss the visual marker of the capital letter in the beginning of a sentence. I have…

Which is how Spotify started... And is still carrying on. So nothing has changed.

According to the article, there is a defence invoking that exact sentiment if a merger is about to be blocked, bu iRobot decided not to invoke it (likely because it would have caus…
