When people are considering having children, of course the first thing they think is “our lives are objectively better than the 1930s, let’s go for it!” As the GP makes clear, most people think about the future, not the past. And many think

I don’t watch football at all. If it’s not cricket… well it ain’t cricket! But even if it was a channel dedicated to test cricket (the greatest sport in the history of sport), I would still resent the foisting. These are clearly anti-comp

Slight tangent: Apple TV constantly has MLS (major league soccer) and Apple TV+ in the left-side pop up Home menu, taking up real-estate for something I will never access. So annoying. Why, as someone from England — with arguably the best f

I had to read that twice, but it’s correct I think. It’s an impractical route, but all the routes are… the Drake Passage was the least impractical of all of the routes.

Not strictly true. In the UK, at least, a sale of a business needs to be signed off by the Cabinet Office if it is considered strategic or a security risk [1]. Unlikely, in the case of Deliveroo, but I went through this exact process and it

I'm assuming you're in the Netherlands based on your NL suffix. Outside of the Netherlands it's rarely seen and so hasn't had the quite the abuse you state. I still think it's an absolutely stunning work of art (re

I don’t recommend pCloud after I tried moving to them and their synchronisation just broke fundamentally causing me to lose data. Also their client encryption feature was so slow as to make it unusable. (This was on their Linux client)

Not the OP, but I want to turn off Shorts too. I do most of my youtube access via Apple TV -- where Shorts are particularly annoying when scrolling through Subscriptions -- so this wouldn't be an option. It just needs to be a preferenc

What about words like ‘Ultimate’ or other commonly used branding words. Are you saying that no words except exact literal definitions must be used on all branding? I hate to break it to you, but I think the cat is well and truly out of the
