I paid a similar amount to that for a return ticket from Sofia to Plovdiv very recently. I was quite pissed off by how great the experience was compared to back home. After a great day out in Plovdiv I unloaded an hour plus Autistic rant about UK public transport costs on my friend sitting next to me.
Edit:
That's a ~290km round trip and it cost my party of 4 <€45.
I did use it a couple times when Ive been away from home and brought my switch but didn't have access to a Chromecast or smart TV in the place I was staying. Outside that, never used it at all. I haven't even touched my switch since I finished TOTK so I'm not exactly shedding a tear here.
I went on Grokipedia once, months after launch out of curiosity. I found an error in the first article I looked at (the city that I live in). It was in the first sentence of the first paragraph of the History section.
It conflated erroneously King William the Lion of Alba and King William the Conqueror of England. They weren't even alive in the same century.
I can absolutely follow the logic of how Grok would make the error. Both Kings, both William, both the first of their name in their respective kingdoms, both notable and significant in their own right, but definitely not the same person.
My understanding is that GrapheneOS chose it for specific hardware security requirements that no other family of devices meet (or met at the time) but I kinda agree that it always felt icky to me that Google was simultaneously the software vendor we're hiding from and the hardware manufacturer that we're supposed to buy from.
The 50+ y/o gay bus driver that is a regular at one of my local pubs has/had an account strictly for rage baiting those who he calls "MAGATs". I enjoy the enthusiasm but we live in Scotland so I'm not sure I'll be joining him.
I occasionally do the later, I always give a "take this with a pinch of salt" kinda thing because I know from personal experience LLMs love to spew out complete garbage.
I only ever use it for surface level yes/no type questions. The sort of thing that a 5 year old bothers their Dad about, inconsequential trivia.
You could apply that same logic to the north of England, most of the tax is raised in the South East and London. You can't make this a blanket Scotland vs England thing.
Scottish income tax bands raise more money than their UK equivalents per capita and I'm happy to pay that for better services.
I receive the Scottish equivalent and the experience could not be more different than my friends description of his encounter with the PIP process. The Social Security Scotland staff that I interacted with throughout the process genuinely seemed to care about me. Someone came to my home to help me with my application and assisted me in writing it in such a way that I'd get as much help as possible.
I have another friend who works with Social Security Scotland and he says that going after fraud is such a tiny fraction of the work he does. I personally agree with that philosophy, its worth accepting that some small percentage of fraudsters will slip through the cracks to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible for those that truly need it.
The reason I first used it was they had a way to bypass the limited list of extensions that Mozilla allowed to be installed but this is no longer an issue so no real idea what the benefit is anymore. I'd guess at disabled telemetry but don't quote me on that.
I switched to Ironfox a while back but still keep fennec around for the occasional site that Ironfox breaks.
I'd guess it would be the owner of the billboard advertising the space. I've definitely seen that before, often accompanied by a "x thousand people see this every day!" type message.
I live less than 30 miles away from 3 of the world's most famous golf courses and I have literally zero interest in the sport. The closest one is just something I cycle through occasionally.
The US uses a slightly different Octane rating system that averages slightly lower than the more common RON. The system they use averages RON with MON which is measured under different engine conditions. The pump is labeled with (R+M)/2 to indicate this in the image. According to Wikipedia, 88 is equivalent to 95 RON.
That reminds me of my (Scottish) cousin's marriage to his Korean wife. The place settings at the dinner had transliterated versions of our names in to Hangul. I'm sure it was largely done for the non-English speakers present but I thought it was a really nice touch.
It was really interesting to observe how some names could be approximated with a single character whilst others (including myself) had to be brute forced with 4+.
If this comes to anything I'm moving to somewhere in the EU and pursuing citizenship there. This is clearly not about protecting the children anymore (not that it ever was).
Firefox has a new profiles experience in v138 and up. Each can have its own extensions and settings. If you've got more than one you can switch in the taskbar. The only thing you might be missing is using multiple profiles at once?
I run mine on a Intel N100 based mini PC from Beelink running Proxmox. It's just about the only thing it does at the moment so I've had no concerns about bottlenecking.
It's much more powerful than a pi and costs a not too dissimilar amount to one after you factor in a case, storage, power supply.
It's not. I just added that in as I was definitely just info dumping on my friend because it was a train-related topic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I ditched my 40oz bottle for a 64oz bottle. The fuck is this journalism.

It's a US military publication, Stars and Stripes. Unfortunately I can't find reference to them having The Sun-esque page 3 girls

No idea why they feel the need to be different.

I use it for accessibility reasons, I struggle to follow black text on a white background but the opposite is much better.
