Is the sort of parent who gives a 5 year old their own phone going really going to a limit the use? I think the crossover in that Venn diagram is pretty small.

That didn’t end well last time though
No need for poisoning. Where he was -30°C is normal at this time of year. Not giving him a coat would have been enough to kill him
No, going overnight from running at a massive loss to “time to make loads of cash” is what ruins everything.
I’ve had beetles on the forehead while road cycling. Even at 40km/h that seriously hurts. Wouldn’t want it to happen at 100!
Shame, one of my favourite workplace proximity associates is called Kyle.
Do they still do the free tier that gives 10 pages a month?
50% of 0 == 0 :)
Easy workaround: live in the countryside with no neighbours.
Yeah, for a living room TV the only option is either “digital signage” or no network.
I’ll just stick to not connecting my TV to the network.
Will he cancel it though? Or will “Trump Trains” become a thing?
The US invented neither trains nor cars.
It is true the US was basically built on railroads, so I agree that it should have an awesome network, but it is just too big. Even if France ships you all a bunch of TGVs it will take days to go from NYC to LA. Something that takes hours by plane.
Because they can afford it and want to have top end carbon, dura-ace, etc.
Do you need it ? No! Does it feel good to ride? Hell yeah!
They are, but that is a halo product
Why? I love being able to buy a 2 year old BMW for the same price as an equivalent Renault
I have one of those and it works perfectly from Linux using standard software. You can also go over the subscription, you just pay (still comparable to buying ink cartridges though, perhaps even a little cheaper if you’re printing photos). It also worked for 2 weeks with no internet connection, although it did complain about that lack of an internet connection after a week.
It has also proved to me that HP are conning everyone with non InstantInk cartridges. After 3 years we are still on the same cartridges, which I am sure it would have claimed were empty if it were not InstantInk.
Disclaimer: I got the printer for (effectively) free and use the free tier subscription which allows me 10(?) pages a month with no rollover. It has cost me about €2.50 in 3 years. I would never have paid for a modern HP printer.
Edit: I am not defending HP’s abhorrent business practices. However, in this case I found a loophole and was able to exploit it. It was also free because I had a awesome employer who gave out Fnac vouchers every year. I am also only able to exploit that loophole because I also have that little Brother laser that just works.
Laserjets up until generation 5 were amazing. There are laserjet 4s still trucking away churning out pages. I personally had a LaserJet 4MP that I sold when I got married due to its extremely low wife acceptance factor (it was huge, loud and ugly. We both regret that decision because 20 years later it would probably still be working.
Basically, what Brother lasers are now is what HP laserjets used to be up until ~2004. We can debate the exact switchover year ad nauseum, but you get the idea.
pandemic taught people how viruses spread
Didn’t every adult in the developed world not learn this as a child from their parents? Or failing that, at school? Are most people genuinely that stupid?
It boggles my mind that it took a world changing pandemic for people to learn basic hygiene! If people just washed their hands occasionally (start with after you go to the toilet) perhaps COVID would have never happened.
Instead of brake checking, flash the rear fog lights.
A red light coming on often makes them think you’re braking.
Nothing wrong with being a landlord. There is a problem with being a tosser.
The landlord/tennant relationship seems to be different to every other business relationship. The landlord always seem to think they are doing the tennant a service by allowing them care for the house. The reality is that the tennant is exchanging large sums of money for a service.
I know, but my point is that sort of parent has no desire to do so.
