It's distressing how many British sweet brands now have a chain of ownership leading to the US. Mondelez famously bought Cadbury's, and Bain Capital (y'know, Mitt Romney's company) own most of the "classics" like Barratts, Fox's Glacier Mints, Poppets, Tavener's, Mojo chews, Barker & Dobson etc. The only big non-American company left is Nestle, and they can also fuck wayyyyy off.

It's only Terry's and Tunnocks left now, and even then Terry's are owned by the Fr*nch.

Simple, all you need is a 6 ohm resistor and a 0.18457216 ohm resistor in series.

I feel the same with Unions and the broader Right. Like the whole point of Unions is they're the "free market" equivalent of government regulation. If you're pro free market but anti-union, then you're not actually pro free market, you're just pro exploitation.

I've been paying for Office365 home for years. Recently I started a business and signed up for 365 Business for the company email address.

Outlook stopped working, because the 365 Business account - which I specifically signed up in order to do email - doesn't include local Outlook, and my existing home-licensed one throws a hissy fit if I try connecting it to my business account.

Microsoft sucks.

It's sickening how they genuinely think they're bailing Europe out and deserve compensation for it, when they themselves are a big part of why there's so much instability in the region to begin with.

I’ve noticed a significant drop in people using the phrase “America bad” as a mocking jibe, since it no longer really works as a hyperbolic statement.
