It's distressing how many British sweet brands now have a chain of ownership leading to the US. Mondelez famously bought Cadbury's, and Bain Capital (y'know, Mitt Romney's company) own most of the "classics" like Barratts, Fox's Glacier Mints, Poppets, Tavener's, Mojo chews, Barker & Dobson etc. The only big non-American company left is Nestle, and they can also fuck wayyyyy off.

It's only Terry's and Tunnocks left now, and even then Terry's are owned by the Fr*nch.

Bees live less than two months, so if only 80% of bees died in the last 8 months that would suggest a sharp recent population increase. And even if you take it as read that it means bees dying and not being replaced, 8 months is still a terrible timeframe to use because it's literally saying "there are 80% fewer bees now, at the tail end of winter, than there were at the height of bee season".

I'm not saying there isn't a bee crisis, just that this factoid is very badly worded.

Simple, all you need is a 6 ohm resistor and a 0.18457216 ohm resistor in series.

Remember, Republicans know this to be the case when they're crying about "activist judges". They know full well what the law is.

They're lying freely not because they believe what they're saying, but because they need what they're saying to be true in order to justify what they're planning.

"As of 2024, the Adolph Coors Foundation is the only one of the three organizations still publicly disclosing support for the conservative group."

The fucking WHAT Coors Foundation?

I'm sure the numbers are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, but it still brings me satisfaction to upload loads of long videos to Facebook, all set to Visibility: Just Me, just to cost them more in storage than they earned off me in ad revenue.

I feel the same with Unions and the broader Right. Like the whole point of Unions is they're the "free market" equivalent of government regulation. If you're pro free market but anti-union, then you're not actually pro free market, you're just pro exploitation.

I've been paying for Office365 home for years. Recently I started a business and signed up for 365 Business for the company email address.

Outlook stopped working, because the 365 Business account - which I specifically signed up in order to do email - doesn't include local Outlook, and my existing home-licensed one throws a hissy fit if I try connecting it to my business account.

Microsoft sucks.

It's sickening how they genuinely think they're bailing Europe out and deserve compensation for it, when they themselves are a big part of why there's so much instability in the region to begin with.

I’ve noticed a significant drop in people using the phrase “America bad” as a mocking jibe, since it no longer really works as a hyperbolic statement.

Also, 256 colours

It's weird that this hasn't already long since happened. Most every Asian country I've been to has had its own local payment systems.

There seems to be this idea that Visa & Mastercard are somehow too big to be usurped, but it's all illusion.
