The severity of each level is different
I think matching wine glasses is relatively uncontroversial, but also understandable if kinda mismatched. A contingent of matching tumblers is also fine but you need the random pint glasses too at the very least. I maintain a fully matching set of mugs is a red flag
Only if it’s intentional, it can easily be caused by ignorance/incompetence too
I don’t really smoke anymore, but the smoking ban in the UK (no smoking indoors from 2007) created the concept of the smoking area outside a pub/club and some of my best friendships in life ultimately started in that Petri dish
A smoking area outside anywhere in the northwest of the UK about 10-15 years ago was just peerless in calibre
If you don’t keep an eye on politics, it only keeps an eye on you
It would be lovely if they all would
When the rain keeps up, it was up,
And when the rain falls down, it falls down,
And when the rain keeps only halfway up,
It falls neither up nor down
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
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
Yes 100%
Wealth generates income, that income can’t sit as cash or it will lose value, so they need to invest.
When the ultra wealthy invest, it’s less important to get the best price for an asset than simply getting it. That money needs to be spent. So if there’s competition for an asset, they will spend more to get it.
When that happens, the price of the asset goes up. Causing inflation
Those assets ultimately determine the baseline cost of everything else. Can’t grow food if you’ve not got a farm. Farms being more expensive make food more expensive.
This isn’t malicious, this is just how it has to be when you have ultra wealthy people. They must invest, they must take property away from everyone else.
The ultra rich are actively pricing us out of living.
The ultra rich need to go
That’s a bit sad
They were kinda little time capsules of various corners of YouTube adjacent internet culture over time
“good morning, I’m about to destroy the backend” is exactly the energy I’d welcome from a colleague frankly.
I think the outage that followed as we fumbled to replace it would probably be cheaper than the ongoing maintenance after a few months
I’d say something like Seinfeld or Friends is probably it, there’s still channels showing reruns of these all day long across the world.
You’ve got to consider stuff that was popular and universal enough to get translated to many different languages and then still get rerun in those countries too
