Yes, exactly! There’s a darkness there. Probably.

Hawaiian shirt, interesting sunglasses, hat, beard, moustache… are you Dr Jacobi?

Disaster Area

Tom Hanks. I’m not sure why, as he seems like a perfectly nice person, and even a good actor. But I just find him incredibly irritating for some reason.

Turns out you were the assassin all along and sending yourself messages to prompt pre-emptive suicide was your method.

I very much enjoyed Force Awakens and Rise of Skywalker. Last Jedi was painfully bad IMO. I like those other two much more than any of the prequels, true to Lucas’ vision or not.

But, it doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks, if you want to watch them then do. And if you do, and you like them, then all good. And if you do watch them, but don’t like them, also all good. And if you decide not to watch them, also also all good.

Life’s too short to worry about a bunch of movies.

I multiply 6 by 9.

I always thought of Susie as more of a Techno fan.

Good news - Firefox is actively developing built-in PWA functionality right now. There’s a discussion thread I’ll link you to when I find it.

EDIT - here you go, this also has links to further discussions: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-can-firefox-create-the-best-support-for-web-apps-on-the/m-p/60561#U60561

There’s already a VERY early version in FF Nightly, but tbh it doesn’t yet really do anything you’d expect of a PWA.

TMS is a national treasure. I’d listen to them talk about almost anything!

I find (and I’m only talking about myself here, not anyone else) that sports often seem boring until I know a little about the context and nuance of them.

Cricket - always thought it was boring until I worked at the 2019 Men’s World Cup and started to notice the little things, understand the various rivalries, get a sense of the reason why a particular moment was tense/important, etc. I love it now (while certainly not claiming to fully uinderstand it) - will happily sit and watch a 5-day Test and just immerse myself in it, it’s almost like a state of meditation.

Darts - thought it was ok on TV, but when I actually went to a darts match (not expecting much) I had an absolute blast, with the atmosphere, chanting, tension, etc. Beer too, of course, but it wasn’t just that.

Rugby League - had no interest at all until a mate asked if I fancied going to Magic Weekend (a 2-day event where multiple matches are played in the same stadium, one after the other) - he’s a Hull fan, so immediately that gave me someone to root for, and I found it a lot more interesting and enjoyable than I had expected.

I think sports can sometimes be very offputting when they’re completely new, as the existing fans often already seem intimidatingly knowledgeable, and there’s a fear of doing or saying the wrong thing. I think finding even just one thing to care about (even if it’s totally arbitrary - like, “Ok, I hope that team scores X points today” or whatever) can help give some purpose and interest can grow from there.

That being said, I’ve no interest in ever watching Polo, so… ;-)

it ruins the flow of the game

Only if you’re expecting it to flow like rugby or football.

It may look like them, but you should think of it more like tennis or cricket - a series of self-contained contests within a larger battle. The stoppages are part of the game and they’re meant to be.

That doesn’t mean you have to like it, of course, but expecting it to flow is just setting it up to fail.

I think it depends what the button function is - if it’s to go to the social channel of the business whose website you’re on, I agree the Contact Us page is the place for them.

However I think OP is talking about the type that is intended to share the current webpage onto the user’s own socials. That wouldn’t fit on Contact Us, except to share the contact us page :-)

Agreed about designers doing what everyone else does, but I’d add to that, that it may be client-driven - a lot of clients I’ve worked with see these things on other sites and so assume that they need them too. Even if the designer wanted to remove them, the client would likely insist 😁

Always preferred Hartbeat to Art Attack. Buchanan was just a bit creepy. Plus, no Morph.

Also, was there not a story that those jumpers NB wore cost about £300 or something?

Definitely not 🙂👍

How about Heineken?

I’m not from there, but I really enjoyed reading that nonetheless. Different people and different childhood memories for me, of course, but the core feelings are very relatable. Looking back at happy times can be really hard, especially if there’s a sadness attached in some way.

I hope you do get to visit sometime soon with your daughter, and make some new memories :-)

And an idea I could absolutely see Musk hoping to copy, turning Twitter into a US version of WeChat.

According to Google image search those are Molly White, and Garbage Day by Adam Bumas. Just in case anyone wonders :-)
