That was a hell of a book - everything around her was looking its best.

The Mr Men books don't tend to correct, though. Mr Greedy and Ms Plump, Little Miss Late and Mr Lazy, Mr Nosey, Mr Perfect I can't think of any suggestions that they change their way?

Same rules work for my son and me.

What? It's given billions of lines of code smushed into a few hundred mb for delivery.
It installs a basic OS to dispose of its current existence, then a new version of itself, then disposes of its temporary identity before waking up as a brand new phone with an old phone's memories.
Let. It. Cook.

And that's the way you do it.

What a shame.

I'm a homeowner, but the UK's property market forces renters to pay, undiscounted, the mortgages of landlords - even though they can't get their own.

This is pernicious and unsustainable, but these crocodile tears won't lead to any change, it's still money for nothing.

The problem is that he's only representative of his corner of politics. I don't really object to him getting airtime, because the problem is him dog whistling and blaming everyone, it's the public's gullibility. Pushing him to GBeebies just creates an insane silo with fake news but no rebuttals.

We pay the same amount as you out of taxation ~10% of GDP, then you guys pay about the same again out of pocket + insurance.

The lack of vision if the Democrats don't do this will very clearly demonstrate how hopeless they are.

We've had 3 kids, total cost: £11 parking + £15 ultrasound pictures with the window cards.

Back in the 90's Monaco might be a SWB setup, it surprises me that doesn't happen anymore.

To be fair, in slavery, I'd be being enslaved.

But, what actually are the options, here? Shouting doesn't seem to do much, nor does walking or writing my objections as pithily as I can.

It's possible, however as long as one end is USB (and there are no other commonly used connectors) there's no benefit to both ends not being USB. And USB-C is the best of them.

All of my curent laptops take the same USB-C 20v charger.
Whilst my phone charger can't charge my laptop, my laptop chargers can all charge all of my laptops and phones.

So massive win, if you ask me.

A friend for whom I was cat sitting's horny kitten kept trying to mount it once?

Shades of VW Golf GTi...

100%, but Capitalism's got to capitalism, there will be no practical benefits to you having new a computer.
But they'll literally go bust if you don't buy one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you're annoyed that the iPhone had to change to USB-C, just remember there was a Zero Percent chance that your specific proprietary Apple cable would have worked on the iPhone 15 anyway.

Thanks for anything in particular?🌍

To be fair, 16 years on Linux and I only typically hate anything for the few days it takes to make that bit completely different.
