My work (which only has 99.9% uk based clients) has an Exchange server that automatically blocks any email that isnt one of the above, plus .co.uk and .uk.com

Saves on so much spam, 1000+ per day. I think twice in 20 years we had to manually unblock a .fr and .au domain

Not everyone, but I’d bet the NSA and CIA keep copies

My bank did the same… except not really. A bunch of functions still opens in the browser, but you can only get to them via the app, not directly using just the browser.

Another option for you would just be “buy a secondhand cheap phone for banking and nothing else”

Not sure if that’s ever happened, but Ive certainly read my own messages over and over again for a week.

There’s a few places like that in Lanzarote. Pretty cool.

Everyone who wants to fly to America has to. Am curious what would happen if I ticked Yes next to “have you ever associated with communists”. Do they just kick you out or is there a lengthy interrogation process first?

My kid got into Snake Clash, and the amount of Ads especially of the “watch to win” type are ridiculous. Changed my routers DNS settings just so they could play the game ad free. Sadly, it now means progress is behind a relentless grind, cos you have to manually earn every single upgrade

Went to one in Poland a few years ago, and was amazed - firstly - that you could smoke inside there. Second was how well it was handled: the entire ceiling seemed to be extractor fans - could barely see or smell smoke at all.

Nah, I almost enjoy that. Rolling tobacco is about tolerable. Actual cigarettes make me sick

That surprises me, but noted !

My mum kept the triangular one I made her for over 20 years. Still quite proud of it.

Better than Roosevelt?

Depends. If there’s ever been few enough RSVPs Its not worthy of a party, I’ll make a sub-group and suggest something else: cinema trip, pub, or just dinner round mine or something. Yeah, it can feel bad especially when reasons given for not being able to come seem spurious or easily worked around. But then again, sometimes I’m just not in the mood for other people’s parties either.

I should’ve added a /s tag

I think the fact 100% force maths and English is the real scandal

I was thinking the same, but the mods would have to be pretty spectacular and game-changing. Not sure why I feel this way, other than having played Fallout 3, NV & 4, and The Outer Worlds has probably worn out my desire for open world shooters

First of their games I didn’t even bother buying.

Same, but I find for about 1% of sites I have to load them in chromium. Just works much better
