Just done one, i got 75% and several of the questions had absolutely bollocks all to do with life in the Uk. Just random trivia.

Otherwise I think "yeah sure, you listen to podcasts at 3x speed but how much of that is actually being processed?"

1.5 the sweet spot for me, but I think 3x is doable if you do it a lot and can focus. Does the leader of a party have time to do that?

Um, I think I need a bigger log store.

(This is about a third of the felled wood that I have lying around the place)

This isn't surprising at all to hear him saying this. He believes that the U.K. should back Israeli foreign policy in the Middle East no matter what.

I think the only better with the pub management work is that there was a rhythm to the week, that meant Mondays and Tuesdays were chill, whereas every day in the office can be mental

Not done a manual job for a long time, but did run pubs for a few years. Office life is so much easier.

For months after I'd left I used to wake up in cold sweats on a Sunday morning. Sunday lunch shifts were always the worst.

On his terms though. Should've ended with him in the Electric chair.

I'll be the well actually guy, and point out that the book was released well before the film ๐Ÿ˜€

The only annoyance about World Book Day I find is parents dressing their kids up in costumes about books the parents are interested in.

People who need thunderbolt are not the target market for this.

It's a bit eye-rolling when you look at the responses and there's only three people saying the same thing.

There's an annoying trend on here where semi popular accounts get annoyed that people are responded to tweets with the same response, usually in the vein of "ok guys you can all stop tweeting me the same thing now"

You're popular, that shit comes with the territory, be gracious about it.

After a rocky six years, Sony cancels future single-player PC game releases Titles like Ghost of Yotei will remain exclusive to Sony's hardware.

The right choice for Sony I think, but I was looking forward to playing Ghost of Yotei on PC

The people who have never considered an Apple laptop before are absolutely the target market here.

If all you're doing is writing essays, these will be absolutely fine.

MacBook Neo has Two Different USB-C Ports The MacBook Neo includes two USB-C ports for charging and connecting devices. However, both aren't identical.

Another thing they've done to hit the price point. Classic apple

They're going to sell an insane amount of these to people who had never considered the Apple eco system before

The Mac's will be able to use a swap file to resolve that

Ah, I wondered why it was so cheap, it's got the same chip in from the iPhone 16 pro, not the 17 pro as i had assumed.

I was thinking it would come in at ยฃ799 minimum. They are going to sell so many of these things.
