It seems to differ by provider. When I was with Three it was an irritating process of having to either call up or visit a shop in person and say "I want to look at the naughty page…

Meh. I live in a poorer area of the UK. We don't have indie bookstores any closer than a 45-minute drive away, and I'm lucky to have a car. When the kind of people who run "indie b…

I'm in Europe and had endless ads on my Xiaomi phone - normally for Xiaomi crap, like themes and games. I actively had to go in and turn off notifications for various Mi apps to st…

I've found similar. I don't know if it was post-Covid, but I have completely asymptomatic high blood pressure. It's really scary to go to the doctor for an extremely routine health…

Let me guess, it had two 1s in its name...

There is, or was, a radio/TV company in Europe called Celador - I always wondered where the odd-sounding name came from.

How is it $25 per week but $12 per month?

Places with few jobs and a low quality-of-life. I live in a place like that now, a car-reliant northern England town where there's no transit service, it's not safe after 7pm and t…
