  • We’re excited to announce the new Sony WH1000XM6 headphones, enhanced by the power of spanners!

    I don’t see why my headphones need a sp-

    Conveniently built in to your headset, you can use the spanner to adjust bolt tightness on-the-go!

    Okay, but that’s not wh-

    We’re proud to be leading the market in spanner-augmented products to bring a new level of convenience to your life.

    Spanner may sometimes only appear to tighten bolts. Please don’t ask us the energy cost of manufacturing the spanner.


  • There’s a ton of history on Wikipedia. Most of it is the council coming up with new reasons to demolish it or plans to change it, with no convincing motive.

    The most notable things for me were:

    • An allegation that they want the bridge demolished to remove the trams that mar the modernity of the waterfront regeneration project nearby.
    • A mention of Chinese lenders bankrolling the demolition and construction a Chinese construction firm being awarded the contract for constructing a new bridge.
    • A mention of a Russian construction and design group submitting plans for transforming and relocating the existing bridge.

    Works for the UK too — high street chemists have given way to supermarket pharmacy counters to some extent, and most supermarkets will have fuel and fast food nearby.

    You have to learn a lot about US culture and infrastructure (inductively) to use English-language social media; I don’t see why a meme that’s centric to a different country should be an issue.

    South Korean personnel in Ukraine would interrogate or provide interpretation services if North Korean soldiers were captured by Ukrainian forces, the report said. They would also provide Kyiv with information about the North’s military tactics, doctrine, and operations.






  • The only real issue with OpenStreetMaps is that the quality varies significantly town-to-town depending on how much love it’s had by local, knowledgable contributors. Road directions are one of the more complex things to configure in OSM, especially with complex multi-lane junctions, and so densely-populated areas and major roads are likely to be quite good, whereas more rural areas can be hit-and-miss.
