C'mon nobody pronounces tomatoes like tomatoes, that's ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure this is illegal under GDPR. They're just seeing how long they can get away with it for, before they have to apologise and get no punishment.

It is probably the most telling demonstration of the terrible state of our current society, that one of the largest corporations on earth, which got where it is today by providing accurate information, is now happy to knowingly provide incorrect, and even dangerous information, in its own name, an not give a flying fuck about it.

ISO for life.

You can keep your stupid tiny little enter key.

A very rare 1965 push button UK telephone, which I converted to work on DTMF.

Almost all UK phones from this era are dial based so it was very hard to find. It is our actual land line phone, not that our landline is ever used. Looks cool though.

Be humble, apologetic and polite. Explain the facts, don't offer opinions.

This. 10:30 am would not be considered a problem legally where I'm from, you can only make a noise complaint before 7am and after 11pm. People are allowed to enjoy their lives, having neighbours play music during the day is just part of living near other humans.

Do not take petty revenge because that probably is illegal. Be an adult and deal with it.

A colleague of mine cannot allow beans to touch some other foods on their plate. So in an English breakfast for example, they require some kind of bean barrier, such as a sausage, to prevent the beans from touching other elements of food on their plate. I find this weird.

Killing somebody because they killed somebody just seems hypocritical. Regardless of the ethics.

I wanted to name my daughter Fenchurch, but my wife wouldn't agree. Daughter is 16 now. Still call her Fenchurch.

Dropped in on a 12 foot vert ramp, frontside mute, hung my truck on the coping and hit the bottom of the ramp face first. Broke my nose, knocked myself out and woke up in hospital.

If you were caught with the blade visible in public, you could be arrested. I also carry a leatherman, and ensure it is never visible.

Anybody who is surprised by this is either hugely naive, knows nothing about previous British military tactics or has been under a rock for the last 40 years.

I have open fires in my house, it was built in the 1840s so yes.

This is very common in the uk, though in many places smokeless replacements for coal are legally required.

Because the amounts can vary based on the number of servings, but the method doesn't.

I have been diagnosed with aphantasia, so I'm a 5. I have no ability to visualise anything in my head, I was in my 40s before I realised that "minds eye" is not a metaphor for most people.

When network keyboard and mouse sharing works. It is the only thing stopping me going full Wayland.

I'm in the UK, the British version does this as well.

Search for CRUD framework. They are available in many languages.

I'd write a sci-fi story, which explains the fermi paradox. There are thousands of alien races all over the galaxy, but they basically all took one look at humankind and said "fucking hell no, those guys are absolute dicks".

Before doing anything ask yourself "would a stupid person do that?" If they would, do not do that thing.

I'm a dev. Right monitor has my browser, center monitor has my editor, left monitor for everything else (terminal, dev tools, file manager, http client etc)

Nope, synergy, barrier and input leap all break if I use Wayland on either or both machines.

It's The Sun. A British newspaper.
