Free outdoor seating is extremely common though, it's not that far fetched it could apply to deck chairs too

This is why I rarely get on board with new Google products nowadays. I know they'll get half assed support and then be killed off really quickly.

UK's got S, M and the Underground roundel. I think it's interesting that those three different common terms, subway, metro and underground, used globally, all originate from the London Underground in different ways.

The sort of comeback so good you think of it later on and write a comic, wishing you'd said it at the time

If the system is such that it warrants periodic relieving, doesn't that signify it probably deserves permanent overhaul so it isn't possible to need to borrow so much in the first place

Sounds alright. I've got a phone, computer, TV, job. Might not be focused enough to actually be productive, but I'd rather that than be rushed, unready and unslept

Why? That's the best time of day for an appointment. I've plenty time to actually sleep well, not rush to get ready, not be late, actually be awake when I get there. Well I might still be late

Usually they're building the website with browserlist and polyfills, and they specify how old a browser they wish to support, usually by analysing percentages of public usage, or they allow types only supported in newer browsers. Meaning if they use a feature only available in newer browsers, then it won't be automatically backported to support older browsers.

But that's only if they actually use those features, they're just available to them. And it'll only break in those places they do use them, which could be quite little of the site.

So often it's just "we can't guarantee it'll work in your old browser and enough of our users use newer browsers that we'll block you and not care".

Antarctic ice is actually expanding, despite global warming. Arctic ice is melting, but flatzoids think that's in the middle of a flat earth.

Yes, there was the issue of SMS cost and data limits, but also remember iPhones are considerably less ubiquitous outside the US.

Where iMessage and Facetime features are lacking in SMS, terrible in MMS, third party cross-platform apps were required and WhatsApp happened to become most popular. Now at least we have RCS, but it's a bit late to the party and poorly implemented.

I have ad blockers everywhere, except native mobile apps. I've clicked on an Instagram ad for shirts. I bought the shirts. People keep complimenting me on the shirts. No regrets there
