Slow clap for VOXI, who offer the memorable word option “Grandma’s postcode” and then require it to be 6-12 characters.

I think I might make my whole identity the belief that podcasts should be abbreviated to casts rather than pods. The “pod” bit is vestigial now no one is listening to them on iPods. Also “listen to my cast” sounds way cooler.
Your devices can have unlimited battery life with this one weird trick.
How the fuck was GDPR (or whatever it’s called under UK law post-Brexit) found to only apply if you don’t lose money by not tracking people? Absolutely fuming at the wave of “accept our 16,522 closest friends having data on you or take out a £7.99 a month subscription” across media websites now.

Alright climbing folk, how are you meant to learn how to trust an auto-belay? Even at the sort of heights I’d jump off from a boulder I can not make myself push away and trust what is basically a glorified hoover power cable retractor to take my weight.

I’m as surprised as anyone else to find myself excited to do sport.
