  • YouTube music is like an alien looked at that app, and tried to recreate it exclusively by smashing it’s forehead against a keyboard until an app that started most of the time came out.

    You think they that much care and attention into the app?

    But seriously, yeah, I had pretty much the same experience -Google Play Music just worked beautifully, whereas YouTube Music was a steaming turd on Android. I gave up after six months and two phones and went to Deezer, never looked back

  • Well that was interesting. Useful to know I cant rely on Wikipedia any more for anything on human intelligence.

    With anything controversial like this its best to go direct to the source if possible - the research itself

  • I get hot tea, unsweetened. New Zealand. I would probably get a couple of sachets of sugar to sweeten my tea if I want to, or they'll be in a container at the counter or on the table

    Very few places here would even have iced tea, especially the sweetened varieties, and you would definitely have to specify it. Only at some "nicer" restaurants would you even have a chance of finding it, most fast food chains or buffet type places wont have it with the exception of some Asian places

    I remember some years back staying in a hotel in New Jersey as a part of a wedding party that had gathered mostly from the UK and Commonwealth countries. I asked for tea on arrival, and they had none. When I came down for breakfast in the morning, there was a box full of tea at the breakfast buffet that had obviously just arrived by courier and just been opened up, management must have ordered it overnight for urgent delivery for all the English and Australasian guests, it must have taken them unawares

  • I’m trying to avoid products made in China, with varying success.

    Am also vegetarian if I get the choice (which isnt always)

    Edit; I appear to also be boycotting fast fashion if unintentionally. I wear clothes until they are worn out and then some

  • The first day I ever worked from home I was sold within an hour. If I could do my job without ever going back to the office I'd seriously consider taking a pay cut to make it happen

  • Trouble is that'd just treat one particular path or location, whereas it's all exposed skin that would require treatment. I think, sunblock and moisturiser are going to be a lot easier solutions, that and just stating out of the sun as far as practical

  • Quite agree, I would have thought that attempted murder charges would be reasonable here, and yes something like this should result in preventative detention until it is proven that the offender no longer poses a risk, which may not be easy, and should not be

  • From the article;

    "This was a terrifying ordeal for the victims, and a completely unprovoked attack, which will have a financial impact on these victims.

    That is the most concerning bit. It would have been bad enough if this was the culmination of an ongoing dispute, or retaliation for something significant, but it being completely unprovoked takes it to a whole other level. I hope this offender is not released on bail or home detention, he is clearly dangerous to society

  • This isnt new. Anyone who has been on a dating site or app in the last 20-30 years will have stories to tell.

    The same applies with ads for almost anything. I can recall advertising a property to let in the early 2000's, the ad started with the line "Non-smokers wanted for non-smoking property" or something similar, and I repeated the non-smoking thing or variations of it over a dozen times within the ad. A couple turned up to look at it, both carrying cigarette packets, one actually smoking on arrival.....
