No bans of chocolate chips on anything will ever be issued. You have my word.

As someone who uses a Nintendo switch and an Xbox, the A and B buttons should be in the same place on all game controllers.

In England we call it pop. Or fizzy drinks. E.g. “what fizzy drinks do you have?” “We have Coke, Fanta, Lemonade”

The simplest things to do on Android are an ordeal on Iphone.

Can you give us any examples?

There are so many good Neil Peart lyrics it’s hard to choose a favourite.

This one is definitely in my top 5:

Subdivisions

In the high school halls

In the shopping malls

Conform or be cast out

Subdivisions

In the basement bars

In the backs of cars

Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth

The unattractive truth

But the suburbs have no charms to soothe

The restless dreams of youth

It could have been a Williams pear. They ripen from green to yellow. Some even have a pinky peach blush. They’re so soft and sweet and juicy when perfectly ripe.

In the uk we commonly have Williams (yellow) or conference (green sometimes with a brown skin)

“You can’t make a silk purse from sows ear” means you can’t make something nice from rubbish. “You can’t get blood from a stone” means attempting something difficult, if not impossible and futile”. E.g. “trying to get my kids to tell me about their school day is like trying to get blood from a stone.” It doesn’t matter how hard I try I get nothing.

Try the ScrubDaddy power paste that comes with the sponge. I had a stain on my kitchen work surface from a blue raspberry slush that the kids spilled. Nothing would remove it but the power paste and the soft side of the sponge brought it right off with no scrubbing at all. And no harsh chemicals or risk of accidentally getting bleach spots on clothing etc.

Spray bleach is great for cleaning things like the inside of the washing machine rubber seal or the sealant around the bath etc. but make sure it’s completely rinsed off afterwards.

I miss Apollo and Reddit too.

 

Am I missing something or is there a setting for marking a post as red on viewing an image?

 

I’ve got my theme set to Embark but it’s not changing the colours. It was fine until a few mins ago. I opened the app and the theme has reverted to the default, but the selection is still on Embark.
