My only issue with CE and BCE is there's more letters. No nice symmetry like AM/PM. They could have gone with CE and BC. Or like RE and PE just to confuse people.

The fun thing is, Liz Truss causing high interest rates is as true as "Labour left a note saying there is no money left". UK interest rates went up with US ones, was already starting to calm from the Truss panic when she got deposed and then rose to the same level under Sunak, just less dramatically. But it's the Tories suffering from journalists lack of financial literacy now so lol.

Maybe we should just use proper British dates: dating events to the reigns of the various monarchs that ruled parts of what is now the United Kingdom. Might get a bit lengthy to list them all at some points in history and a little apocryphal at others, but at least it's not woke.

If an event happened before the establishment of any known kingdoms in the British Isles it's probably not really worth concerning ourselves with.

I think it should be BC - Before Colour. e: 15th November 1969 was when BBC switched over to Colour broadcasting. I think that's where the line should be drawn. fuctifino fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Apr 21, 2024 |

You can’t set English dates on works originated by a Scot the gammons would revolt The answer is 30th July 1966, none of them could argue about that

I guess he'd solve that by just putting a photo of his genitals in the footer. I also assume he just does that anyway.

While we're at it we should all remove our names and job titles from our signatures too. Keep everyone on their toes. Knowing who's who and what they do is woke. Am I the boss? Do I even work here? Nobody knows

drat. Was excited as I already had developer enabled for something else. This works but only for Bluetooth stuff and not wired headphones. Cheers though - this'll probably come in handy sometime.

Just found someones phone, any ideas on how to get it back to them? No emergency contact details on it. At the moment my plan is to just wait a few hours and hope someone calls it. I was gonna leave it where it was, but it had clearly been left there all night already.

That is my last resort, but it doesn't seem like a great way of actually getting it back to it's owner.

I guess just keep it charged and wait for the call and if nobody ever calls, you got yourself a phone

fatelvis posted:That is my last resort Alright Papa Roach, calm down No, but if you don't get any calls to it, just try messaging some of the contacts, explain you found the phone & asking if they can help you get in touch with the owner. Assuming there's credit on it anyway Also why wouldn't someone have a lock screen on their phone precisely in case they lost it?

I suspect it's already locked (but you can see emergency contacts - if any - without unlocking the screen)

There is a thing where you can add emergency contacts you can call even if the phone is locked, but the owner hasn't done this. Oh well, I hope they call it.
