Comment I was sadly forced to use outlook... (Score 1) 38

Last year at the place I worked, it was fine for a bit, but for a month and a half it broke and badly, the emails being sent were being formatted to be unreadable.

Then the problem quietly went away. The modern software equivalent of gaslighting, I suppose I should be glad that it did, but it's a piece of software they randomly break on an update and then fix is very much Microsofts way.

Why anyone trusts them baffles me.

And with the Artificial Idiocy "revolution" this is only going to get worse...

Comment Cats have lived with us for millenniums (Score 1) 67

They've lived feeding on our rodents and waste. They will have, given their breeding habits, have been plentiful amounts around until neutering brought the population under control in modern times. But they were there. Living by our farms. Eating rats off our city streets.

And probably for the longest time, eating scraps from our table, leftover fish pieces from our fishermen, long before we started to farm.

To think of them as just animals of the desert is a classic modern forgetting that we've been sharing with them for a VERY long time.

The UK Tory government will give money to Tory donors to piss away, in the latest of a long line of bribery, payoffs and bungs.

The most it will probably buy will be a bag of chips, perhaps even with fish.

Oh and huge mansions and yachts to the people who will employ the current UK Tory party members in a years time.

Comment Aspartame has hidden behind "sweeteners" enough (Score 1) 274

Let's face it, it's the one which they are mostly talking about when using the term. It features most if you drink branded drinks. And thus can't avoid even if trying (like out and wanting a diet drink in a diner).

Previously research on this has always been "sweeteners" when mostly it means aspartame. Sure, there might be other problems with other sweetners, but research those, and do it separately, not this nonsense science of "sweeteners do this".

I believe it is supposed to be a weight-loss suppressant, some of the low carb books say to avoid it too. So the lack of weight loss when switching to aspartame diet drinks might be clear too, if they've not too scared to publicise it.

Research them all. Document them separately. Maybe this will explain a lot of breast cancer cases, based on the drink being favoured women from a young age onwards. Maybe one of these sweeteners is safe, I'd certainly like to know that....
