Home ovens are also just low quality ovens. Not a good analogy.

Air fryers should really be called individual ovens. They’re basically the same but more efficient

If you put them in convenient places then ICE cars will also park there and not be connected.

Seems to be an unpopular opinion but I'm on board with this. I pay for YouTube premium so that I don't have to watch ads (on TV/phone) and I feel railroaded whenever somebody stops their video to talk about a product that are paying them to do so.

I manually skip these always if I'm paying attention. I hope this shows in their analytics. I include "buy my tshirt" and "look I have another channel where I interview my 5 year old" in this.

You can talk about their range though. No hard feelings if they can't afford you.

How do I know what physical trackers are being used before entering a physical location? I use my eyes.

Business often count foot fall with IR or laser; it's generally on the door. How do I know that using a businesses with cameras claiming to only count traffic are not actually gathering a whole lot more information to use/sell/change their mind later?

I have no skin in this game but the original comment was more focused on "we've decided to bypass your adblocker because we feel that our interests outweigh yours"

Depending on what you mean by "share costs", https://monzo.me/ is still a thing.

If it must be you topping up via card and you can't transfer traditionally, Starling stil have the ability and I prefer it/them overall.

Not to denounce the tech but if the song skips I can be fairly confident I was accurate. Dragging my finger blindly around seems likely to have adverse effects.

I'm overlooking the easy "It's easy for me so it's easy for everyone" because I'm interested what phone you use?

FWIW you don't, the level of debt some people have is staggering.

My initial reaction to your comment was along the lines of

> Do you consider how a black person might feel writing it? It seems somewhat necessary to bring up past persecutions.

I had likened this to swearing to highlight emotional intent. However I have no idea how that word affects some people. I'm just a white guy who is in no position to have an opinion on whether this is okay and was wrong to belittle it.

Because he said the N-word? Come on.

Words have power and these words are strong. And they should be, because the response is directed at complete ignorance.

This kind of reaction feels quite closed-minded, working on racism-as-a-checklist.
