I think this is pretty common across the UK (presumably ROI as well).

My daughter has been informed that Santa loves Port with his mince pie!

To me it looks like corn made from jelly beans.

If it doesn’t taste like that, I don’t want to know… don’t spoil this for me!

I’ve never seen cactus fruit like that before, initially I thought it was a joke image and someone had taken a cactus and put a blueberry on each needle or something. Wild.

Oscar Wilde indeed!

How does crypto increase privacy? Isn’t the whole ledger public, so if someone manages to identify your wallet they can see all your past transactions?

Interesting, thanks!

How do they do that without sending your actual passwords somewhere off your device, or downloading the full list of hacked passwords?

I think you’re missing something here; in the UK we also talk about pre-tax income.

It’s important in lots of ways, for example you choose how much to pay into your pension, and you get tax relief on that.

If you just talk about post-tax income you would miss the enormous difference between someone who is on £54,350 and pays the minimum 8% into a pension (£50k taxable) and someone on £62,500 who pays 20% into a pension (£50k taxable). The second person is a lot better off overall, because they have saved £12,500 in their pension and the first person has saved £4,350, which compounds pretty quickly.

Are you saying it’s fake and gay?

Where did you see the photo?

It’s basically a big hair dryer, there’s a big fan in it

I have an electric leaf blower, it’s pretty loud and you can definitely hear it >5m away, in fact you could probably hear it several hundred metres away. I do agree they are less disturbing overall though.

He used the USB port on the samsung phone to connect an old blackberry keyboard, via a custom made PCB.

Things were definitely different to today, but I think the factors you listed are not enough to explain the massive decline in that graph.

Things like economic insecurity, cost of housing, increasing isolation / changes in living circumstances, and medication are all likely to be significant factors in my opinion.

It says 1990 not 1900!

I picked one of these up around 2015 and used it as my main phone for ~2 years. It’s a cool phone and I had a great time messing around with it.

Unfortunately the hardware is just into up to modern requirements - old modem means bad signal, old WiFi standard, really low RAM, very slow processor. The browser was barely usable even with an adblocker.

Sadly the Neo900 never got off the ground.

Looks good enough for Jehovah

Unfortunately, neither Labour nor Conservatives are parties of liberty, although there are some individuals within both that see the importance.

Good shout!

I recently bought a pair for about £35 and was expecting low end quality but they are more like midrange in my opinion (I bought a Chinese brand, “Sanoto DG08”, so I reckon I saved on marketing compared to the market leaders).

I use them all the time now - cycling, listening to adult podcasts around the house or while cooking without being totally antisocial etc. They are great!

Looks pretty cool! Should have known it was an e-bike
