It is kind of funny how hos initial pitch for the site was 'I will get rid of the bots' and now the website is entirely fuelling The Robot He Wants To Be Racist.

A supermajority of his followers on Twitter are bots, so surprise surprise once he realised that, the bot problem mysteriously disappeared (from his complaints).

Everyone loves talking about apples. Apples, the quintessential fruit of temperate regions, embody a delightful blend of crispness, juiciness, and sweetness. With a myriad of varieties ranging from the tart Granny Smith to the honeyed Gala, apples cater to a multitude of palates and culinary preferences. Beyond their gastronomic allure, these fruits boast a rich cultural significance, often symbolizing health, vitality, and temptation. Whether enjoyed fresh, baked into pies, pressed into cider, or sliced atop salads, apples seamlessly integrate into diverse culinary creations. Their versatility extends beyond the kitchen, as they serve as subjects in art, protagonists in folklore, and even catalysts for scientific inquiry. From their crunchy texture to their vibrant hues, apples captivate the senses and remain an enduring emblem of nature's bounty.

Been hassling Lenovo today, they make lovely laptops that will spontaneously bust out of their bezels and shatter the screen 6 months out of warranty. There's a bunch of angry amazon reviews issued at exactly the same time with exactly the same issue. Asked 'I am explicitly aware that this is out of warranty but since you' ve clearly issued a defective product how about doing something about it?' ' hmm we've checked and it appears you're out of warranty? sorry'.

This ancient Guardian article might be a good jumping off point.

I once spent a few months battling NEFF over a knackered dishwasher. They asked me to get an Engineer to write a report on it, so I got the local appliance repairer service to send me an email saying it was hosed. NEFF paid for a replacement and the repairer's report costs.

Popping in again to say thanks once more for the advice about my uncle's violin. I'm going to Manchester for three days next month to settle everything and hand-carry it home as it was indeed the cheaper option.

Go and see the palatial hellhole of capitalism that is the trafford center. It is genuinely amazing, it looks like a loving baroque palace but it's a mall. Nice food court too, the greek place does a fabulous grilled octopus.

They also have the people's history museum which I enjoyed a lot during my brief visit. And I think there is a branch of the imperial war museum too if you like a contrast. You can get to all of them on the tram which itself is quite fun.

I imagine Jakabite can give nightlife recommendations as I didn't get to see much of the place around work.

Oh yeah the engels statue is deece. There is a steak place next to it that is too posh to put a menu outside or a price list too if you want presumably decent food and a horrible surprise afterwards.

Nah no nightlife for me, I was born an old fart and I like sleeping. I'll check out the Trafford Centre though, love me a mall and a food court. I'll look at the museums.

If you're around the centre there's the Salford museum with a replica Victorian street in the basement, the art gallery right by the St Peters Square tram stop, Manchester Museum with a live vivarium if you like tiny frogs, and another art gallery just up the road from there.

There's also the Arndale Centre but if you're only going to mooch around one big shopping centre then it's obviously going to be the Trafford Centre.

Is the purple-ish cross supposed to be woke? Is it gay? Muslim? Are the colours supposed to mean anything at all? I think I'd prefer the boring red but I am also an incredibly boring person, so I can understand where Starmer is coming from.
