Yeah, the middle tooth is like a leftover thing. He used to have really awful teeth up to and including Legend I think.

It would probably need some quite horrendous surgery to move it all over by half a tooth, and tbh he doesn't need to. It certainly never hurt his career in the pretty boy years, and I don't see why it would now.

I can see why they'd do that tbh. Being able to delete something posted in error is something that may not be guaranteed in the Fediverse. Once it's out there, you're relying on others to delete that cute picture of your cat with your shrivelled up little winkie clearly visible in the reflection of your TV.

We trusted corporations.

I'd like to think we've collectively learned our lessons, but watching people migrate from Reddit to fucking Discord makes me think that we really have not and probably never will.

This is where you find that shit is so bloated and pointlessly connected that it's running on a washing machine.

I cancelled prime the day they announced it and got a VPN instead.

Sure, but for all the times my electricity goes negative for half an hour, the monthly bill indicates that is vastly outweighed by all the times that it isn't.

What if it isn't him, but the guy next in line to replace him?

I'm talking about pedestrians, not other drivers.

If autonomous vehicles can't be trusted not to run people over, then they shouldn't be allowed to go above like 20mph in a built up area where there's likely to be people walking about. And frankly neither should human drivers, but good luck not getting them to call it a "war on motorists" if you try.

I was tempted by the outrageous electricity prices a year or two ago.

But then I swapped to Agile Octopus which pretty much halved my bills and made it not really worth doing. I work from home most of the time anyway, so my usage is spread over the day.

I do have a double set with original (or as much as you could get) along with the post-prequels completely broken one. I think there was a pre-prequels version as well. But then that is DVD quality, which is getting on a bit.

The likes of Disney+ doesn't even acknowledge the originals even exist.

Same with their Alien and Aliens versions as well. No director's cuts at all, which is a shame as I far prefer them. They should have both.

They were course and rough and irritating and got everywhere.

 
 

Because it turns out SW/Lloyds replaced their computer system last July, and since then none of my pension payments have been going into my account.

Our accountant has had to chase them up since somebody noticed at the start of the year. And only now have they admitted it, and making noises about fixing it.

 

Is anyone else getting problems with charging from an external USB charger after the latest DualSense update?

We updated both controllers, and now neither will charge from an Anker USB charger we've been using. They both charge from the PS5 itself. The charger works fine for phones.

It's like they've updated them to no longer charge from any source other than the PS5, and maybe official PS5 charging docks. Don't have one of those to test.

Annoying to say the least, as it means playing while charging now needs a cable trailing across the living room floor.
