neb:
Geektastic: Any article with the words "What you need to know" in the title.

I'll be the judge of what I need to know, thank you.
Even worse is any video with "You won't believe what ..." in the title. Thinking of writing a browser plugin that, when it finds those words on any video web site, replaces them with "You can't imagine how much you don't want to watch this rubbish".

Closely followed by "You've been doing this thing wrong your whole life...." which is generally a personal preference thing which isn't actually "wrong", just not how that person does it.

Websites that don't have contact forms or email addresses, just ask you to call, but then don't answer and no way to leave a message. Awesome.

Fantastic. With the second dose you won't need a phone anymore either. 😎

How was the needle experience? Hope that wasn't too traumatic for you.

Barely felt it and with the drugs I was on, I didn't really care.

Different story for the young fella, but he got through it.

Been trying to get hold of Aramex, then? 😆

Proactively contacting MightyApe to offer to pay a same service courier upgrade to get my game on release day, as opposed to 5 days late via usual courier, having them offer to upgrade that to same day for free and then being super happy.
Later in the day getting notification it had shipped via normal courier and when querying being told they didn't have the capacity to ship it same day and I was out of luck.

I wonder if they would recommend her to @sbiddle...

I would double-check that it's actually real or a scam profile as I think her public profile is a page, not a personal account so offering "as a new friend" could be a scam.

Getting a three day ban on Reddit for a throw away comment (that in hindsight could be misconstrued as offensive), when there are millions of users spewing hatred, racism and blatant misinformation still happily posting.

The internets are a weird place.

It may well be, but either way, I am not clicking on it ;)

Honestly, some of the bile I see on Facebook, youtube channel comments and Reddit shock me to my core some days.

Which is why I rarely venture further than Geekzone. I just don't need any of that low-class crap.

That I can't use Transmission Gully for tomorrow's commute into the office.

..and a week and a half on Waka Kotahi still don't have the cojones to front up with a date or some other substantive statement ...(other than the lame 'because of covid').

What a pathetic clustermess.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

Reddit's a particularly weird place, but what are you talking about - a Reddit-wide ban or a being banned from a sub-reddit? Banned by an auto-moderating bot - or an actual person?. Banned for use of an offensive term used in jest?

I can't even get a despatch date for the item I've ordered from Mighty Ape, despite it showing as "in stock and ready for immediate delivery" on their website. A shame, their warehouse is very close to me and I've supported them in the past but having doubts about doing any business again

Not sure if this is something small, but has anyone noticed that COVID Level 3 Step 1 previously didn't mention overnight stays within Auckland region, but now specifically excludes them? So if you have a bach, holiday house, boat etc - staying overnight in it is still verboten. In fact, the rules indicate this will be the case throughout all of the many Level 3 sub-levels. So if I want to do a few days yachting, I have to transit back to the marina every day, use marina facilities and drive home instead of anchoring quietly somewhere and maintaining isolation.

If anyone could explain the logic of this I'd be grateful
