Same with GZ notifications in Thunderbird!

Behodar:

 

MadEngineer: My inbox after a holiday.

Ah well, time to create some more filters!

 

Funny you should say that, because I just came into this thread to grizzle that my email client has suddenly decided that Geekzone notifications are spam, despite the fact that I haven't changed any filtering settings.

 

Is it because your service provide has marked them as a possible spam and your email client "accepts" those ?

At work (before it became Microsoft hosted) I could block whole TLDs (soccer, fun, ru, br....etc etc etc) with *@*.ru etc.

This removed about 99% of the spam.

It's suddenly working again. Go figure.

Bee: Perhaps this one has been mentioned before? But people who don't follow road rules in the supermarket annoy me!
Keep left, "park" on the side of the aisle, and don't randomly push your trolley right in front of me.

Why in the UK do you drive on the LHS, walk on streets on the LHS, but have to stand on escalators on the RHS ?

Because when you’re standing on the escalator, you’re no longer walking - and those walking up the escalator are still walking on the LHS.

You have moved out of their way and they don’t have to dodge you.

Makes perfect sense.

When you stop driving a car, you park to the left and others pass you on the right.

I had wondered if it was because the majority of people are right handed therefore holding onto the rail with the right hand was preferable .

If you are walking up stairs you are on the LHS and someone wants to walk faster then you they pass you on the RHS.

If just seem really odd.

On an escalator everyone is moving in the same direction. On the road you can’t easily park on the RHS because you’d have to move through opposing traffic - and you’d be facing the wrong way when you leave.

Parking on LHS is the only option that makes sense.

neb: on the condiment you also stand on the right.

neb: A variant of @MadEngineer's comment about working around the house, popping outside briefly after lunch to take care of a small job, coming back inside at 7pm after working flat-out all day, sitting down and pouring yourself something cold, and then realising that the initial small thing you first went outside for is still not done.

I dont have  that issue. My issue is "I wish now, I'd done that first"...

My defence your Honour is that it was a nice day

No further questions...

Handle9: I had a quick look today. It’s just a circle jerk of rage.

Nine out of 10 hateful posts tracked in darkest corners of the internet targeted Ardern - new study

 

 

[...]

 

 

Senior lecturer in politics and international relations, Chris Wilson, said Ardern was overwhelmingly the target both of all posts, and of those deemed hateful or toxic.

 

 

“The disparity surprised even me,” said Wilson, who is also the director of Hate and Extremism Insights Aotearoa. “The only conclusion you can draw is that it was just ongoing, incessant vitriol focussed on the PM, over a long period, that never went away.”
