Right, Spotlight is the way to go. Who wants to be looking icons on a desktop or in menus when Spotlight is so fast and easy? Even on my iPhone, I donâ(TM)t use app icons because Spotlight is easier and faster.

No, this is not true (I live in the UK). While we do use a mix of units, you're long out of date. Most of the time I use metric. Even my child's weight when they were born.

True, roads and speeds are imperial, using miles. I talk about distance in km anyway. Food is all metric since the EU many years ago. Even if something that was once 1lb is the same size, the label will now say 454g. Milk is sold in pints, but the labelling is in ml. Pints are the pub are measured as 568 ml, and spirits no longer sold in gils as they were in the early 90s. Petrol tanks in cars are in litres (example here for the Vauxhall Corsa - 45l). US gallons are smaller, so really good to avoid the confusion around this unit.

In day-to-day language, we'll happily mix units, but we're predominantly metric now and the old people dieing out is increasing that. This is a bit inaccurate, but it's fun: https://www.reddit.com/r/Casua...

Meanwhile, my analogue meter from ca. 1955 that was once the property of the now defunct London Electricity Board keeps spinning away! These newfangled meters that lose their smartness when the phone tech goes away are apparently no better, but maybe wonâ(TM)t last as long. Whatâ(TM)s the point of upgrading?

Could that be because of laxer standards/more lenient annual testing? Or due to more favourable environment (do cars rust in Arizona, or is SW vs NE just balance) or more sheltered parking?

So why isnâ(TM)t Bradford richer? Oh thatâ(TM)s right, youâ(TM)re full of ignorant shit. Most brown people I know were born in the UK.

I also meant to say that the reality is, is that their user base has shrunk and the people using it for interacting with POTS and mobile phones must be a tiny number. Calling costs have really shrunk and much of the world outside N. America increasingly uses WhatsApp. Dunno about China, maybe WeChat? My WeChat account got deactivated and itâ(TM)s basically impossible to reactivate or signup fresh from here. Probably donâ(TM)t want an app rooted by the Chinese government on my phone anyway ;)

Sounds somewhat like my experience, although that ended in 2014 when the parent company closed our offices in Shanghai and Hangzhou, and then shortly after divested us. Iâ(TM)ve been to China once since the instead of 4+ times per year and no longer do much with American colleagues, and the ones I do use Teams and Slack (no need to call US toll free numbers). It looks like the phone options after Skype will be diminished. This thread and the one Emily links to in her answer seem to sum it up: https://answers.microsoft.com/.... Good luck.

And what are you doing for physical exercise? If I go to the gym, I sleep like a baby for the next two nights; long deep sleeps where nothing disturbs me, and after such sleep I feel awesome and am far more productive at work.

I used to work long hours when I was younger. My personal interests, relationships and health all suffered, as did my productivity per hour. I wonâ(TM)t do it now. The pay isnâ(TM)t good enough and there isnâ(TM)t a good enough exit strategy within a reasonable length of time. The human body is designed to be moving, not sitting at a desk; I value my health, especially as itâ(TM)s getting seemingly harder to maintain it as I head in to my 50s.

Back in 2007+ I was working a lot with colleagues in Shanghai. Skype was the only thing that could reliably navigate the Great Firewall with its random behaviour as well as providing the only decent and cost effective tool for calling out of China to real phones back home. It was such an amazing, ground-breaking tool when it came out and cut my work phone usage immensely.

After Microsoft's changes to route everything through its servers, Skype failed a lot more with poor networks. They ruined the experience, and then butchered the UI to ruin the experience even more. Having once been a huge fan of Skype, I haven't used it for five or six years. I don't miss it since they made the UI changes.

18-24s still smoke in the US. In fact, e-cigarette usage is greater in the 18-24 category than any other age range, and increasing.

I know a few blokes who wanted a full cricket our football team. Funnily, they all stopped after having just one or two children.

Do you think the US would have spent so many billions or even trillions fighting in, deploying in or patrolling the Persian Gulf if it didnâ(TM)t have oil?

How close together do these cables have to be to each other and what kind of voltage level can be induced this way? Are they running energised and inactive lines together? Where were the sparks between and how much voltage is required for that?

Why do you need AI for these things? For example, Iâ(TM)ve been able to copy text from images on Apple devices for some time, presumably without using AI.

Why would they have solved this problem yet if they could? Theyâ(TM)ve had no need to because they couldnâ(TM)t even sustain a reaction long enough to utilise the heat.
