Never had a Windows Phone myself, nor would I have taken one, so can't speak from daily driver experience. But from what I saw from my ex and my dad having WP work phones that I had to help them with.. My god those were terrible menu hells if you had to change anything. Even worse than Nokia's Symbian.

Also never forgiven Microsoft for their mole killing Nokia by going all in on Windows Phone.

When King Kong (2005) came out, I got a decent chuckle about thinking how much I wanted King Kong and Gollum models to be swapped.

Maybe it's less likely to draw attention than no plates at all? If you're not paying attention, your brain just goes "letters and numbers, yup, that's a license plate".

Certainly was.

I think you're thinking of Aptiva.

And if you assassinate those who would be voting yes?

That particular one is Taiwanese I believe, and passed several minutes before the outage maintaining a constant pace.

Finnish border guard has stopped a tanker registered to Cook Islands that's part of the Russian shadow fleet, which slowed down significantly while crossing the cable and was on site when the outage started.

In Finnish we just legit have a word for eve's eve (aatonaatto), although it's usually only used at Christmas.

A few years ago I got myself a nice tea maker with adjustable temperature and brew time. Then I got some nice Assam tea, brewed a pot, and it turned out so nice I decided it didn't even need milk. Then I ended up on a wikipedia spiral and found out that the Brits apparently started putting milk in their tea when they started drinking Assam tea, after being used to milder Chinese teas. Heh.

Felt I didn't deserve to celebrate. Depression messes up with your brain big time.

Thanks. I've done pretty well for myself, I'd like to say. I landed a nice job around six months later and have been able to show my talent pretty well. Due to fighting with depression I entered the workforce around ten years after most of my peers. As an engineer, I've caught up the median pay for my peers with 15 years more experience. Can't complain.
