Ding dong the witch is dead

If you don’t keep an eye on politics, it only keeps an eye on you

It would be lovely if they all would

I’ve never seen any phone tell me why someone is calling, only who

Frankly, I’ve gotten to the end of many phone calls and still not known why someone thought they needed to interrupt my day with a phone call.

I’m glad this is an increasingly common view though tbh, we all got phones in our pockets a few decades ago, and no one really stopped to set the new line of etiquette that: yes, 99% of the time it’s pretty damn rude to think what you want to talk about with someone is more important than anything they could possibly be up to at that moment. Because that’s what cold calling someone without arranging it first really is, when you boil it down

Tbf the kind of cultural fusion cuisine you get when another culture successfully imports another culture’s cuisine, is super interesting to me. I’d say this stands separately from intentional fusion restaurants, this is more something that happens organically as a cuisine is adapted to the ingredients and tastes somewhere away from where it is invented.

The classic examples are Tex-mex and British curries, but every country has a few things like this. Japanese Italian is a pretty cool experience, not least of all because now I think about it there’s some places that are straight up Japanese/Italian cultural fusion, but others are more Japanese/Italian-American, so this thing can go deeper. And don’t get me started on the godlike German/Turkish magic happening on the streets of Berlin

Always been a fan of trying local cuisine when I’ve travelled, but I’ve more recently been trying to add places like the above into the mix, as it’s genuinely always been interesting to me

I was gonna say in the UK, a lot of modern slang over here comes from MLE (Multicultural London English)

Clearly this makes up a key part of our respective shitposting R&D divisions

Didn’t he do boxing for a bit first? Ngl I don’t really keep up with him

I don’t like any reality where the Japanese death forest YouTuber who decided to play boxer, is anything resembling a voice of reason

I more meant now they’re not being made because Micron recently killed the Crucial brand to focus supply towards data center customers

TBF that is a crucial ram stick in the picture, those are rare shinies now

Funny they need such an advanced piece of war defense equipment deployed against their own citizens

The OP: https://www.datapro.net/news/usb-type-d-connector-unveiled.html

Following the overwhelmingly positive response to 180° reversible connectors like USB Type C and Apple’s Lightning, USB Type D’s novel plus-shaped design can correctly be inserted in 4 different orientations, a mere 90 degrees apart.

“With our reversible Type C connector, we allowed users to blindly plug in their devices with minimal frustration. But we wanted to take it a step further. Now with USB Type D, no matter how crazy your night has been, we guarantee that you’ll be able to successfully plug in your phone before passing out.”

Remember when funny people still did April fools? I’ve not seen a good April fools hoax that doesn’t transparently reek of marketing in years

Would it be political if it was dead friends of another nationality? What about dead friends that died in an earlier conflict that’s no longer in progress?

Shit position to take from the IOC

You know what’s really stupid about this

Notepad existed for decades, resisting the general trend of Microsoft software, and it continued to do one thing, and do it well (for the purposes of this argument, let’s not get started on line endings)

If someone wanted to do more than just view text files, there was wordpad, a stripped down word processor, that would have been the perfect application to add support for markdown to.

Except they killed it, because enough people must have realised that the word processor bundled with the OS did everything they needed without having to pay Microsoft a subscription for Word.

So now Microsoft is trying to turn notepad into the rudimentary word processor that people expect to come with their OS, destroying the aspect that made it useful

Everyone was seemingly on board with this as a good idea until trump and Farage decided to say it was a bad thing, despite trump being one of the people cheering for it a while ago. Now people who didn’t even know the islands existed 6 months ago, have very strong opinions about it.

Reminder the Times is a Murdoch owned rag these days.

Idk I don’t seem to count myself as having made it until I’m sat

In my experience there’s an inverse square law where the urge approaches infinity with proximity to the bowl

Honestly I remember someone telling me and I’ve never seen it myself so I went looking

Turns out there’s even faster now

I got the inspiration from a visit to Turkey many years ago, give it a go, it’s a game changer
