That has nothing to do with being on a Mac. Em-dashes and the compose-key work fine on Linux, and Android has them under the '-' of the on-screen keyboard when long-pressed. (Windows probably has some way, but those are rarely dis

What's wrong with a custom size? I replaced two small windows with triple glass ones, and just ordered the right size online. I don't think it's even possible to buy windows in a standard size (whichever that may be) here in

Surprising? That's not a new realisation. It's a well known fact that women are affected by this in medicine. You can do a cursory search for the gender gap in medicine and get an endless amount of reporting on that topic.

Oh yeah. This is the big open secret. Theft is way up with these. It turns out that when you take people out of the equation and combine that with prices going up, a lot more shoppers figure it is only natural to compensate themselves a lit

Does that mean you actually approve of banning something like a Pride event? 'Gender ideology' as a term is awfully vague and not really a thing outside of extreme-right politics. For some this appears to even include homosexualit

For the average European there was never a risk of getting detained for weeks in a prison facility where the lights are never off and your only comfort is an aluminium foil blanket. It's not just rhetoric. I agree that the risk isn&#x2

What makes you say that it is family-friendly with a blooming economy? Orbán just banned Pride events nationwide, and vowed to use facial recognition software to fine anyone attending. This all in an attempt to placate the minority of the p

It should, but there is, understandably, a lot of inertia and disbelief that this is the new status quo. That, and obviously, as the pamflet points out, a lot of people assume that this won't happen to them. And let's be honest, a

I would definitely watch a film about a quartet of highly trained musical hitmen taking out competing acts. Somehow the idea of John acting as a spotter with a pair of binoculars sat on a rooftop next to Ringo with a sniper rifle and giving

An agent acting for a celebrity would know exactly how to handle this, including paying the photographer a fair price for their work and the full rights, and handling all the paper work. That's their job. It's not hard either. I m

The celebrity quoted in the article seemed eager to have his picture taken for the express purpose of getting it on Wikipedia, so you'd think that some of their agents would have gotten the message by now. Pay a photographer, release t

Hey Duggee is lovely. The imagery is on the vivid and trippy side, but the voice acting is top-notch with creative stories. Most importantly, it lacks the deliberate tweaking for engagement Cocomelon does. At six my son currently has one Bl

I gave that a test viewing when my child was at that show's age bracket, but I instantly hated it. Over the top slapstick humour, where destroying someone else's things is seen as OK. Not Cocomelon bad, but nothing much to redeem

In 2021, the extra large 1200 grams pack of coffee beans cost €6,50 at the Lidl in the Netherlands. This month you probably won't find any at the Lidl (not in the ones near me in any case). Other supermarkets have similar empty shelves

That ship has sailed, unfortunately. On social media where no markup is permitted (or possible), people will use these to stand out — especially those who make money on those platforms (not much of a problem on Mastodon though). We, the peo

Is there a use case for that? If it is about bypassing parental restrictions or just blurring images because the user requests that feature, the pool of potential buyers seems small and likely too risky to engage.
