Realistically, it’s Animals for me. Solid narrative theme, Roger Waters’ trademark cynicism at peak potency, great tunes.
But part of me also wants to play devils advocate and say The Final Cut? Okay it’s not the greatest album they made, but it feels raw and real and heartfelt in its own way.
(Yes I also enjoy Waters’ solo albums)
Sadly(?) I don’t think it was actually made with FrontPage 98 - the source is far too neat and clean!!
Specifically the hops used to flavour beer are a potent herbal sleep aid.
I don’t think I’ve ever used a fake name to order anything online.
I can understand doing it for something potentially embarrassing or compromising, but until I saw this post it never even crossed my mind that there might be people that do it as a matter of course.
Brian and Charles.
The vibes are similar to Napoleon Dynamite, but the setting is rural Britain instead.
Heartfelt, kooky, a little bit bleak but ultimately feel-good.
Why is there a button to unmute this comic strip?
I just use the default iOS 18 wallpaper and lock screen - no changes, no extra widgets.
No, that’s butter.
‘Better’ is a pre-release stage of software development.
The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was seen as just one of several possible theories, rather than accepted fact.
As someone who was dating (and found my wife!) online around that time, it was Tinder that marked a watershed moment.
Tinder gamified dating and made it accessible to everyone with a smartphone, which at the time was itself experiencing massive growth as a platform. The image of online dating changed almost overnight from awkward questionnaires and ‘lonely hearts looking for the one’ to swiping right and hookups.
I suspect the answer is because computer monitors evolved from televisions and video monitors, which standardised on 4:3 and, later, 16:9 for media viewing.
There was a brief period during the switch to LED when 3:2 and then 16:10 looked like they could take over, but 16:9 made a comeback and monitors have remained mostly in lockstep with modern TVs ever since.
iPadOS also has an extensive set of accessibility options and exclusive apps like Staybl, which is specifically targeted at people with hand tremors.
‘Ah-ha! You’ve stepped right into my trap!’ they cried, as the dagger pierced their heart.
a vital defense against having your phone stolen is having an Android phone to begin with
Sorry, but this is just a laughable claim to make. Phone thieves aren’t going to hold back and try to figure out if the small slab in your hand is an iPhone 14 or a Pixel 9, they’re just going to take it and figure out what they’ve taken after the fact.
If anything, if they were paying attention to what targets were carrying, they’d be more likely to avoid iPhones because they can’t easily strip them for parts any more.

Voyager, because it was the most mature and feature complete app available when I left Reddit and I don’t fancy switching again without good reason.
It was a bit of a learning curve initially, coming from RiF, but I’m used to it now and rarely encounter any issues.
Apple received the request to add a secret government backdoor and responded by publicly disabling a popular feature to invalidate the request.
I guarantee you that Google, Microsoft, and others received identical requests, but we’ve heard crickets from them. Implication being everyone except Apple silently complied.
Also a lifelong Windows user, but have to use a Mac for work as of last year. I was expecting it to be a nightmare, but honestly 99% of the day to day stuff is either identical or similar enough that you can figure it out in a minute or two at most.
Things get a bit trickier if you’re trying to do more complex power user type stuff, since there are different paradigms at play, but even then a quick search will easily point you in the right direction.
Wow, Silverlight - now there’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.
