They must have glands. Unless they have milk for blood.
- Comment on Work from home 4 months ago:
I know somebody who does this and accidentally racked up a £3,500 phone bill while on holiday. He was accidentally using the wrong SIM for data.
- Comment on Work from home 4 months ago:
I have two phones. A personal one and one provided by my company. I like being able to turn off my work phone when on holiday, etc and keep my personal life separate.
I do know a lot of people who sold their personal phones when given a work phone and use it for both. Saves some money I guess but no thanks.
I also know people who have two phones but install all the work apps on their personal phones to make it easier for them. No thanks!

Welcome to the fold, brother.
- Comment on I mean have they seen our stipends 6 months ago:
Years ago my wife did an online course, I forget which one, it might have been open university (UK). She worked full-time with a fair salary and studied a few hours each week in the evening. She got a student discount card. The requirements seem (or did, perhaps it’s changed now) quite low.
- Comment on It is truly magic 7 months ago:
It’s more confusing looking at it from a top view. When driving it’s loads easier. I was expecting a mind numbing event first time I drove it but it wasn’t that bad really.

I’ve been using one of the hottest sauces I’ve had in a long time. It’s called Satan Revenge made with ghost peppers. I’m in so much pain when and after eating it. It’s good stuff.
- Comment on MP raises security fears over a Chinese firm's involvement in North Sea windfarm developments 7 months ago:
Similar to what they’re doing in Africa with rare earth mining. Control the mining and/or the trade of mined rare earths.
- Comment on More and more people are ditching carrier roaming in favor of travel eSIMs 7 months ago:
It’s also the ease of it. I travelled to Indonesia a while back thinking I could pick up a SIM card once there. I didn’t realise you have to register the phone itself for tax reasons (?) to white list the IMEI of the phone before buying a SIM card. It was loads easier just to buy a roaming eSIM after I arrived. In hind sight I probably could have got a better package had I shopped before hand but it got me out of a tricky situation.
- Comment on Mystical land pirates (with pizza) 8 months ago:
I had to visit a house the other week in a place I hadn’t been before. Sat nav got me to the post code just fine only but the problem is it’s one of those villages on a long road where everyone thinks they are special and don’t need house number. Instead they all have names. It’s horrid! Driving up and down real slow, blocking the road, while I read every bloody house name.
- Comment on Mystical land pirates (with pizza) 8 months ago:
I got asked the other week how I managed to drive places without satnav or Google. I suddenly felt old.

They missed Shitterton off the maps.
- Comment on oc based on a true story 8 months ago:
I didn’t know either. Shame I had to filter through loads of bad joke replies to find the one which seems to be the right answer.
- Comment on And how's there a car in a mall? Life's important questions 9 months ago:
There was a short period after I heard the term Third World where I thought there was more than one world in our solar system and this is where Africa was. That was a strange few days.
- Comment on 8 Years later my Steam Link is still getting regular updates 10 months ago:
I remember that sale and annoyed I didn’t buy one. At the time I thought I’d never use it. Fast forward a few years and I occasionally use Steam Link on a Raspberry Pi, so I would have used it. Oh well.
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 10 months ago:
I’ve not noticed any problems with Google myself but I just did the same search you did. It brought up Google maps at the top, quite helpful as it showed local photographers. But as I went down to the results the only one in my local area was the top result. The rest were things like photographers in Majorca, Peterborough, a random motorcycle website.
I’ve never noticed how broken Google is until now.

There’s a BBC documentary hosted by him called Earth. It’s really worth a watch, I highly recommend it.
- Comment on ‘It’s amazing’: scientists analyse 4.6bn-year-old dark dust from Bennu asteroid 11 months ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised it somebody did snort a bit. They could be the only person ever to have snorted an asteroid which hasn’t naturally entered the atmosphere but was collected by an automated robot.
- Comment on Fairphone has created a smartphone that owners can repair themselves - This sustainable smartphone aims to reduce global electronic waste 11 months ago:
I have three pairs of wired earphones (plus more regular headphones) and a portable DAC amp. I know what you mean though, Bluetooth headphones really are the norm these days. The tech in them also make them hard to repair.
- Comment on Millions of smart meters will fail when 2G and 3G turns off 1 year ago:
Why would you need to rewire the house to allow a smart meter to automatically update usage to the provider?
- Comment on Mozilla review of 25 car brands finds they're "a privacy nightmare" 1 year ago:
Sadly my 34 year old car is off the road at the moment. I loved driving it because it was so simple. Basic on/off switches. No computers.
- Comment on Banksy Encourages Fans to Shoplift From Guess Since Company 'Helped Themselves to My Artwork Without Asking’ 1 year ago:
Does he have an agent or somebody who can be contacted? Not justifying the shop from doing this but how would somebody seek his permission?
- Comment on Most motorists want noise cameras installed to clamp down on loud cars 1 year ago:
Yeah for sure. I honestly think electric scooters and electric bikes are the way forward (not wasting energy on 1-2 tonnes of metal while going round town). But until they are better regulated and enforced it’s just mayhem.
- Comment on Most motorists want noise cameras installed to clamp down on loud cars 1 year ago:
Same here. And in recent years the amount of drivers are pushing their luck more. Like driving clearly illegal bikes, driving on grass parks and footpaths and even through underpasses. I saw three teenagers break into a bike shed to stash their stolen scooter in. The Police didn’t seem to care much even though I called with a crime in progress. Nothing like this happened where I live a few years prior.
