  • Ok, looks like Fedia was having a moment - it's working now. Nothing to see here.

  • Dyslexia - it's hard to spell even if you're not dyslexic.

  • What about cwm?

    It's Welsh, but in the English dictionary for some reason.

  • I think they've glued the Q and U together to make it easier. Technically that's one single 11 point tile.

  • The eBay password limit is 256 characters.

    They made the mistake of mentioning this when I went to change my password.

    Guess how many characters my eBay password has?

  • It certainly ended somewhere between 2001 and 2007. I remember where I was living when they stopped it.

    When mail came twice a day, I used to get my post in the afternoon, consistently, and none in the morning, ever.

    When they changed it, my post started turning up earlier, in the morning.

    So it was weirdly an improvement. It seems strange now that there was ever two deliveries a day, given I get one letter a week at most now. (parcels are another matter, but again you don't need Royal Mail delivering parcels twice a day even if you get a lot, so the fact they did this with letters is weird)

  • On my phone, it's this which is datestamped 17 February 2012. I think I copied it there off the NAS, and the image is older than that.

  • Somebody needs to start up a "you had one job" community.

  • I don't normally use extra dim, but with you on the rest!

  • Permanently Deleted

    Jump
  • Probably Invaders on the Acetronic.

  • I find it blinding now. I don't even like turning the brightness up high (even years before dark mode was common).

  • Has she missed all the rioting in England by far-right activists?

    How is that better than a banner being slowly revealed?

  • Also Connect has gained improved markdown on the back of that post.

  • Lots of people mentioning Neopets. I did have an account there but couldn't log back on when I tried a few years back, so I guess my account was deleted (or I've got my login details wrong)

  • Mine's about the same age, 97 or 98. Log into it very infrequently but it still works.

    Everything else I recall having an account on from the late 90s no longer exists.

  • Drum on their steering wheel with actual drumsticks.

  • Not easy to tell as I have a lot of old photo scans where I'm not sure of the original date. So let's try this terrible photo, which I think was the first on a roll taken sometime in the 1980s. I don't remember that bunny so I must have been very young.
