It’s often used as a threat, without specifying the threat, do this, or else!

I worked on a GIS system in a german speaking company, it was very confusing, it was mostly programmed in english, apart from the things we we’re modelling, which had extremely specific and often long german names.

I think appointing people who absolutely should not be doing the jobs they are appointed to is a way of sidestepping all law. They want to destroy all government and what better way to do it than through sheer incompetence with a layer of plausible deniability.

There are other theories of course.

Any public transport initiative that in any way inconveniences a car driver gets hate in the UK

As a child we had a duck that would come nest in our garden for many years, it was really quite friendly, and would come up the patio doors every morning to beg for some food, didn't seem to be afraid of us. She would have her little ducklings follow her around the garden until they eventually went off to some lake not too far away.

Our cats were absolutely terrified of it.

It was to Mojave, and downgrading was a whole task in itself, apple really did not want me to do it.

I recently downgraded one of my macs so i could use some 32 bit audio peripherals. You can’t update safari separately from the os i found out, and most websites now just won’t render with that os and if they do, barely work. I installed firefox and that was fine.

OTH, i use safari on my other mac, it’s fine most of the time, but i also have have chrome installed as some websites are so buggy otherwise, linkedin is a particular culprit, it barely works on chrome too.

Chromecast used to support streaming from the casting device, i make an app that used to use it. Sadly they no longer support that feature. Having everything on your device allows considerable more freedom.

I've been making an app similar to this but for pedestrians. I live in a very hilly city, and google maps will give you the shortest distance between 2 points, but that may involve climbing and descending steep hills even across short distances.

Any savvy resident however knows the location of escalators, lifts and metro stops to bypass that, and all have different allowed times of access and operation.

I think it’s true for a lot of BBC shows, many had great music, but the BBC also ran hugely popular radio stations and i think it was through that they were able to license a large amount of music.
