This is so funny to me. You'd have to be an absolute simpleton to not come to this conclusion immediately. "Officer I swear, the app paid me 20 quid to bring this bag I didn't pack myself. That's ok right?"

I mean they aren't saying that, just that it almost lines up and if you didn't know any better you might draw the conclusion.

I feel this way about the internet being taken over with user generated content. It’s strange taking information at face value, and then when you come across something you’re deeply knowledgable about and it’s horribly incorrect yet has tho

Literally every time these things come up it's because the person was doing something dodgy and refuse to admit it.

God I miss Aertel. Only way to get cinema listings without buying the local paper on that day.

You are correct, this has changed my mind as it is a lovely weird photo that I have enjoyed.

What are the upfront & maintenance costs of solar vs crops on that kind of scale? I'd hazard a guess it's a little more than 10x. Also, how are you planning to grow meadows under solar panels without any sunlight?

If you want private panels in pretty much any country outside of America, they're going to have to go on the roof as we don't exactly have the land to waste elsewhere.

The number of missed attacks in the film definitely mirrors my experience anyway.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is eternally grateful for this game. It's given me years of regular social engagement and strangers have turned into great friends. All because it's weird enough that you usually have to

Ah but he enjoyed coffee that wasn't freeze dried so that makes him a socialist according to the British media.

Yeah the majority of their focus was on the consumer facing side of barcodes and then how QR codes replaced them (they haven't). I can't see any of the warehouses in the middle of nowhere that I deal with changing their setup to s

I was just being facetious. I've used powerline in the past, but it's proven to be an impossibility in this house as it was wired multiple times over the years and there's like 8 different circuits between 5 rooms. I'll

From the ONT sure, but from a single wireless access point?

Yes I have walls in my walls rather than air and wasps.

Let me know when Wifi gets to the point where I don't need 4 mesh nodes in my 700sqft 180 year old house just to get 50mbps in my bedroom out of my gigabit line at the front of the house.

You mean to tell me that people don't often go around with balloons on 10 meter long strings?

It is very disappointing that I was prepared to write off a pretty interesting article because of their decision to do this. I do agree with your second point though, especially when this is proven by the prevalence of the holy "algori

Nah, my company full of people who can't even open an excel file are definitely going to be magically able to use an IRC client as their main form of communication.

It's difficult for them to catch up when the market for Windows laptops can't bear a 2k+ price tag. Expensive Windows laptops do exist and are pretty good, but they're few and far between. I know giant gaming laptops exist, b

That's exactly what it is. Even an olympic sprinter is slow with two broken legs.

Strangely enough, maybe? It would be easier to see that as the cost of the product on its own rather than a bundle. Still a bit rich for my blood though I think when other services are cheaper and don't have ads as part of the content.

I understand your earlier comment was a bit tongue in cheek, but I find it hard to justify the £12.99 a month, when I can only imagine half of it is going towards Youtube Music which I have absolutely zero intent of using. Maybe it's a

Guess I'm taking another week off YouTube until someone sorts out a workaround. I still don't know how people manage to watch it on a TV app with 2 unskippable 2 min ads before every 5 min video.
