Dear Vodafone. That you managed to make registration for your site not work with the built in password manager for iPhones, one of the most popular mobile phones, is deeply unfortunate. It’s also an impressive achievement, because iCloud Keychain works nearly everywhere. You actually have to go out of your way to bugger it up.

But you, a mobile phone company, have managed to make your mobile site not work with this most common of mobile phones. I am impressed with the amount of effort it must have taken to be this incompetent.

Techbros: self driving cars are inevitable!

Also techbros: prove you are human by performing a task that computers can’t do, like identifying traffic lights.

You can tell your covid requirements are pseudoscience tickybox woo when they emphasise “hand gel”, which is completely fucking useless against covid, over “face masks”, which are not.

And also when your activity is outdoors in the countryside.

Apparently I have a controversial belief about the modern software industry. I don’t think it should be controversial.

The belief is this: writing new code in C in 2023 is like installing plumbing in a new house using lead pipes.

Some people’s partners leave crumbs in their bed.

My darling wife leaves a chicken carcass, like she’s some sort of cat or some shit.

Just genocidal fucks openly planning a genocide. Nothing to see here.

I hate posting $#!t like this, but people keep buying it when these same people say they 'just have concerns.'

Britain and France are sibling countries: We spend a thousand years fighting like cat and dog because MUM SAID I COULD HAVE CALAIS, YOU COW!

And then Germany comes along and messes with one, and the other is like, "HITTING MY SISTER IS MY JOB! DIE!"

Going through moons of the solar system, and I get the naming scheme, but it's still funny that Uranus has a moon called Margaret.

My aunt is called Margaret.

Seeing someone on Reddit saying that they never used the maths (specifically, “pi”) they learned at school, and that it was pointless learning it.

I have used trigonometry and calculus in my everyday life to make short work of problems, mostly relating to DIY. If you reach middle age without m any this stuff, then I can almost guarantee that you have done several things the hard way when you didn’t need to.
