Every time I see a storm I wonder why we call it thunder and lightning. The light comes through before the sound, so why not lightning and thunder? Maybe I need a linguist for this one

The smell of Mac and cheese does not match the taste of Mac and cheese. Not sure if it's the Mac...or the cheese

Just for the record @developers.google.com @sumsung.bsky.social , I really liked my power button being a power button. I liked when I could press and hold home to open Assistant, or even swipe up tbh. I liked having a headphone port and I liked having an SD card slot. You can fix this yes? Thanks!

Pictures shows the front of a pub called the cosy dove. The pub is a triple wide building with a white façade and blue awnings over the windows. The top of the building has tutor style wooden details painted in a light gray. In front of the pub there are some wooden bench tables for dining, and a line of old oak barrels separating the footpath from the pub grounds.
