There’s a non-obvious freeze function in the Task Manager - for as long as you hold the Ctrl key, it’ll stop updating the list. I have no idea why this functionality is hidden, but I guess Dave Plummer had some unusual ideas about UX.

If you don’t love getting dog shit on your newly washed car, you should have thought of that before living 2-3 counties away from a future Float-a-Poo owner, and you have only yourself to blame.

It’s a photo from a 2021 Australian youth climate protest, taken by Jamie Wdziekonski (@sub_lation on Instagram).

I haven’t found a second angle of the same sign (though there are others with the same message), but I think it’s real.

I might be too dense for this - is it a joke about traumatic brain injuries? (I’m not being snide!)

The chart suggests that some time late into the day before yesterday, they had about -0.3 husbands.

I realize you’re joking, but the vehicles considered to be the first motor car and first motorcycle were both created in the same year, FYI - neither is a response to the other.

If it were divided by continental tectonic plates, it would be welcome news for Southern Asia and most of the Middle East, but terrible news for New Zealand Iceland, and the Caribbean.

Insufficient data!

Was the bench around a corner or jutting out? Was the boy part of a crowd that obscured the bench? Is the bench somehow camouflaged? Is it static and stationary?

Is the boy fully sighted? Is it dark? Did someone distract him? Was he panicked by someone? Could he have deliberately run into it?

There’s meant to be an internal rhyme there, as in “take one down and pass it around”. I suggest “tinker a bit, push a commit”.

Also, “programming code”? I’d go with “legacy app” or “code monolith” or something.

And let’s also change “92” and “99” to be make the refactor comprehensive.

(For those not from the UK, “butty” is another word for a piece.)

Very nice that it’s being supported, but I think the general consensus among MacBook owners was that it was mainly a sales gimmick and not actually that useful? With opinion divided, of course. I can imagine it would be handy for specific apps.
