I'm more worried that sites will start to demand it for "security purposes".

The EDL often used the England St George Cross flag. The National Front used the British Union Jack flag.

I think the only other time you see our flags apart from sport, is for royal family related days off work, which about all they're good for.

From the thumbnail I genuinely thought that was Christopher Walken in a fat suit.

Then I loaded the full image, and I'm still not convinced it isn't.

In England we only really put them up for football and racism.

Loony power tripping moderators can only ban you from their little bit rather than from the whole site.

We do a day a week just to catch up and remember how to speak.

We might occasionally have to come in for a few days if the owner is in the country. That's like once or twice a year.

I was asked how I felt about coming back full time and I told them straight. There's lots of places that don't demand that, and they pay more than we do. Don't lose good staff to nonsense policy.

Good.

Don't forget Playstation, Nintendo and Xbox stores as well.

All the DCRYTJT HDMI cables for a start. Got a couple of bad reviews? Just run your hand over the keyboard at random, there's your new brand name. They're now XDCRHJT HDMI cables.

Generic products should just be listed together.

I've been doing this for ages.

Now I've got an extra tree, and bunch of tall weeds with purple flowers on top. No idea what they are, but the bumblebees seem to like them.

I'd say I started doing this because I cared about nature, but really it's because I'm a big lazy bastard.

What's with the weird incel language going on?

Even The Handmaid's Tale didn't constantly refer to women as "females".

They say you can't bullshit a bullshitter, but in my experience, the opposite is often true.

I've never seen anyone fall for so much crap as our sales staff.

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.
