• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Or more⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly it. I want a light conversation with no expectations or requirements. Knowing someone’s name is not required to tick that box.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Or more⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Easy, meet various guys in pub, chat every few weeks, repeat for 30 years. Noone ever suggests adding each other on Facebook. Actually I know very little about them, but if we’re both there at the same time we’ll talk about nothing for hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American and British English spelling and pronunciations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Damned right

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American and British English spelling and pronunciations⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Schedule, I have to say the correct pronunciation every time I hear it said differently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iceland knows what's up⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  John Green talks about it often

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here, have some unpleasant knowledge about Mario.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Look up ant cordyceps, learn how some fungus can move around, and then have trouble sleeping for a few days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I tried THIS and it actually works all the time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I love the ambiguity of what you’re supposed to throw in the river

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's begin Friday with a smile⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was a breath of fresh air during the doom scrolling

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP ditches 15-minute wait time policy due to 'feedback'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Just in case, it’s a reference to the Sun newspaper “winning” the election for Tony Blair’s New Labour government

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wheres Waldo, for the educated⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s Charlie in France

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks legit, but can it actually be a real thing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to have to numb you.

  Num num num num num num.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨English is a strange language.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Important hyphenated.

  CSS is a strange language too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UFO expert not ruling out Russia or China links to drones seen at RAF bases⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be more surprised if a “UFO expert” ever did rule anything out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK needs cyber security professionals, but won't pay up⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was thinking the same. This will attract people who are essentially independently wealthy, and so don’t actually need this income. Which adds a nice classism based barrier to entry too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Row as Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know plenty of people who work full time in real jobs, and also rent out a house. Renting a single building doesn’t give you enough to quit your job where I live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah yes, regression⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You asked for a line, they gave you a line, what more can be asked for?

  We used to intentionally add wrong data to our datasets so we could circle it afterwards, declare it “outlying data” and gain the extra points for spotting and documenting it.

  I’m not bitter about my formal education, honest…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hard to argue with⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Female presenting profile pic, we don’t actually know anything about the human who typed it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft retires WordPad after 28 years — app no longer available as of Windows 11 24H2⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rtf is far more lightweight than docx. It’s closer to markdown.
