I think it's just that the bristles are all nicely aligned on a new head - after a while they start splaying, so pressure is going in more directions over a larger area. I do love the feeling of a fresh sonicare brush.

But if you look at it as a "unified notification framework with powerful management tools and wide API access" - it's a market-conquering monster.

Can I call you a paedophile here then? Maybe suggest that anybody who took the time to view your post history would clearly see this? I'd like to stress I'm not accusing you of anything - and wouldn't want to be responsible f

They missed the larger Netflix pivot to making and owning their own content - without this they'd have been dead years ago.

You're over-estimating my intellect... I do occasionally get through some french youtube with subs and I'm getting better at roughly following - I'm not just relying on Duo. (I also have a grammar book to hand as well)

Just starting my second paid year - I didn't put up with the adverts for long. Works far better for me without the hearts. Less time staring at sentences trying to make them perfect - more quick failing, learning why, iterating and dri

Came here to say the same about the CPC price. All manner of fascinating stuff in Amstrad history. e.g. the 3" disc drive (not 3.5") Seemingly he found a cheap supply - so we got them on the spectrum, CPC and the PCW. A PCW was wh

Most people probably don't need a faster dishwasher - but it's a handy feature to have to sell dishwashers. "Cleans just as well, using the same water & power, in half the time?" - well that sounds like you've j

In the UK we've had ISPs being forced to block sites for a while. Fortunately, it provides a handy list of providers to use with your VPN. e.g. https://www.virginmedia.com/help/list-of-court-orders

Unlike a lot of tech companies, I still like Netflix. From "DVD in the post" to "We need to make/own our own shows" was a massive pivot that paid off for them, and launched dozens of wannabes. I genuinely can&#x2

You could ask what's the average PTO taken. HR should know this and if they need to check, take it as a bad sign.

Yep - my (somewhat dull and conservative) employer did this as well. I was cynical, but year later I'm pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong - I think we collectively all took 15% more holiday. Not a mind-boggling change, but not the

But you know that's simply not true. I was a smoker in my 20s and quit finally in my 40s. Are you suggesting my f'ed up choices were in some way better than taking a load of selfies in my twenties and growing out of it in their t

I was about to wade in and call out today's youth as pansey-ass-snowflakes. Then I read: "I like to describe it as some kids are growing up developmentally delayed, today’s 18-year-olds are like 12-year-olds from a decade ago. The

Because the purpose of police cars and and speed cameras, is ostensibly to make you slow down to the speed limit. Marking these on your map, makes you slow down. This probably varies country by country, depending on whether it's a mone

I'm not sure it affects install rates - but I know when I've been cleaning up my phone the apps that seem to occupy orders of magnitude more than their function would suggest, get culled first. Makes me feel old. I'm sure 20

Yes, this. If I was to switch from Android to Apple, I'd first re-buy the apps I currently own. I wouldn't be rebuying them because Apple had brokered the interaction in some way - I'd just be using the single option I have t

I think that's "more of a feature, than a bug" When you subscribe to something it doesn't "lock in the price" - prices go up and down month-to-month. On the amazon side, there seems to be a bit of flex built in
