  I can’t use these things together.

  Oh no.

  Two.

  Is down.

  Yeah, OP didn’t say how long they’d been together but if it’s a new relationship after 3 years of being friends, especially if they’re young and/or there’s been lingering feelings for some time before becoming “official”, then anxiety and nervous excitement is likely to be high!

  Firefox. I’m fairly convinced it’s something to do with UBO or one of the blocklists but I’ve never taken the time to dig into it properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Redirect to prevent back button⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve reminded me of a similar frustration that I’ve never found the answer to - though it may be adblock related - in that whenever I open a link to eBay it completely wipes the history for that tab. Or possibly it opens a new tab and kills the parent. Either way I always forget about it until the next time and then it drives me mad all over again.

  Yeah this. Shortly before he left the church, a friend of mine’s pastor told him not to recycle because it delays the end times. These people want Armageddon and think they’re doing god’s work by hurrying it along.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Huw Edwards pleads guilty to making indecent images of children⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  According to the Crown Prosecution Service, making indecent images can have a wide definition in the law and can include receiving them via social media.

  Edwards’s barrister Philip Evans KC told the court: “There’s no suggestion in this case that Mr Edwards has… in the traditional sense of the word, created any image of any sort.”

  I suppose the facts that he a) retained some of the images, b) didn’t report having received them and c) continued talking to the man has some bearing on his charges.

  Yeah honestly Eternal should’ve been a Quake reboot using the new engine rather than a Doom sequel. Everything about it felt like Quake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOOM: The Dark Ages | Official Trailer 1 (4K) | Coming 2025⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Meh. I was really hoping they’d go back to the sci-fi aesthetic of 2016 but instead they’ve doubled down on the weird high fantasy with guns thing.

  It’s like they actually wanted to reboot Heretic/Hexen but they couldn’t get the license for it so they’ve just shoehorned it into Doom instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electric car sales in UK flatline, prompting calls for VAT cut⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t say you’re wrong, I said you’re not wrong. My point was that it’s easy for us who are already used to home charging to preach about how cheap and easy it is, but it flies over the heads of the average joe who seem to only think about it in terms of the public infrastructure - like petrol stations.

  Hence, ignoring or downplaying the price of public charging because, in reality, it’s a rare occurrence to actually need them does nothing to convince non-EV drivers to switch.

  That was what I was getting at, but ultimately we’re in agreement. If you’re able to charge at home it’s super cheap and super convenient, but the cost of public charging needs to come down drastically if we’re going to convince ICE drivers to make the switch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electric car sales in UK flatline, prompting calls for VAT cut⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean you’re not wrong but at the same time it’s foolish to write off the cost of public charging as a non-issue. People who are used to having to drive somewhere to fill up with fossil fuels are already wary of charging times and charger availability, so the fact that it currently costs more than petrol is another reason for them to just buy another new combustion car while they’re still available.

  We went electric a smidge under 5 years ago and in that time the cost of a rapid charge has more than doubled. If that had happened to petrol or diesel there would’ve been riots in the streets!

  It’s a ridiculous state of affairs but nothing’s likely to change while the government is beholden to the oil industry. This is exactly what they want.

  People talking on their phones like they’re eating a pie, and then trying to slide the contents into their ear, I guess? The analogy broke down, but you get what I’m talking about!

  I blame The Apprentice for making the young’uns think that it’s the correct way to use a phone, but at least in the show they were doing it intentionally so that everyone could hear the call. Or perhaps they just think it’s the cool way to use a phone?

  Showing my age but it reminds me of the “side talking” meme from the Nokia N-Gage. It was stupid then and it’s even more stupid now.
