Well, I doubt they plan to ever buy HP again.

Over(head) for (the duration of) dinner (well, part of it anyhow).

If you are doing that by car, then the cloverleaf will add to your spin, not cancel it out.

New reason for us to have a keep-left policy on our roads while yanks have a keep-right policy on theirs…

Similar to Memrise, which was really fun when you could make your own mems using imagesearch and customise everything… And now is a rubbish duolingo clone.

Cruise causes microplastics in whales and is the creation of people consulting a buddhist monk? Hmmm.

Bloody stupid bot.

Rental cars are incredibly expensive in some states. If I wanted to rent one in Tasmania for ten days, it would have been cheaper to buy a car and abandon it than rent one. Less of a problem at home in NSW.

No idea. It seems obvious that this is designed for the vision-impaired…

You left out “throttle diaster information accounts when the disaster is happening” (Japan earthquake).

When the Japanese Earthquake information twitter account was throttled a few days ago, after the earthquake, there seemed to be this general realisation that they were not going to be able to use it for disaster communication any more…

I have never really seen the attraction of Spotify. Music is accessible so easily in so many ways. I own thousands of CDs, listen to the radio all the time, and have at least 100gig of music files to make playlists from, much of it music by people I know. I play and listen to live music regularly. What could spotify possibly offer me that I can’t access in a more ethical and recogniseable way?

And yet labelled as a bot.

Perhaps we need an infrared thingy to change their label?

Yep. I can’t even see why, probably something in the stuff they deleted. How bizarre!

Yeah the Aprils are good aren’t they?

How odd you think that. She was on my roll call for a term (high school). I am not going to tell you which school, as doxing a student is wrong, so I guess Elle is going to have to remain a myth for you.

Dunno, teachers meet a lot of students, seems likely to me that a lot of us would encounter the same kid and not forget her.

Student names that really exist in my local area: “L-A” (pronounced “Elldashah”) and Hazmat (shortened to Mat). Not had a Bobby Tables yet, but getting that dash into Eldashahs name was a difficult task, I am told.

So many geeks are going to give/receive some weird presents in ten years…

Then you are many decades out of date.

Capitalism is all about waste.
