Whoops, so you did.

Turns out "lent" is actually the past tense of "lend". Not sure where my head was this afternoon.

I've heard "lent" but never "lended".

"I lent a pen off him", "he lent me a pen". Could be a Northern thing though.

Even the install is a mishmash of voodoo and arcane knowledge. Horrible horrible thing.

Stuns me that someone thought this would be a good idea.

Oh hey my free USB device helpfully made me go to a webpage without warning and without permission, these guys are wizards and deserve my custom.

Pedantic, but that's not a TRS connection.

It'd be perfect if the Z-index updated for card last selected. It looks like they're z-indexed in a specific order at the moment?

She wanted to encourage competition, but that competition never arrived, so we still have a shit infrastructure and an ineffective monopoly essentially?

Or if we want to go really outrageous, a division of BT still controlling literally every new home install of telephone lines, often with engineers not turning up, or not being trained to do the job they've been sent to!

(As above, this is actually the case. )

Lucky they nipped that one in the bud, eh?

Maybe someone can explain the decision in principle to me here, because I don't understand how the deliberate retardation of network infrastructure is beneficial to encouraging competition. I get that the entry costs to the market would be higher for a new start up, but that seems irrelevant given the target competitors, and a silly bloody way of doing it anyway. But I'm genuinely curious to hear the other side of it?

Personal opinion of course, but even if you don't like The Oatmeal, a comparison to Buzzfeed isn't really appropriate, they're very different animals. One's a comic written, drawn and published by a guy, the other is a couple of lists interspersed with gifs, then lazily rehashed weeks later.

That's a very odd question to ask. I mentioned a distaste for him, not any sort of active upset. Kim Jong Un (deliberately avoiding reductio ad hitlerum) has done nothing to me personally, and I have to say I'm not a fan.

Edit: I don't like the way he treat his friends, family, staff or even applicants, details you can get by reading the biographies or watching the documentaries as I've said before.
