Exactly. When I was clean shaven, it was easy, I could just hold the shaver against the contours of my face.

Now, with a large beard, I only need to shave every one or two weeks, but it takes much longer to do so and is much trickier. I've got to sculpt and shape a mound of hair manually. And every day I still brush and oil it.

Clean or short shaven was actually less effort.

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

The AI's having a hard time deciding what's inside the bird cage and what isn't, though it did better than I would've expected

Yeah although misinformation is recently on the rise, there is that overabundance of information, I still feel like we're in perhaps the easiest era ever for verifying facts.

In the past when I called bullshit on my friend's factoids, there wasn't much I could do unless I went to a library and maybe there'd be a book on it, and I'd have not much choice but to trust that book. I believed so much nonsense people told me before that I can look up and discuss on a global knowledge in my pocket now, albeit requiring skill to do properly though

Y is only sometimes a vowel: when it forms a vowel sound in a word.

In the case of "dry, crypt and dryly", we could perhaps spell them "drie, cript and drielee" if we wish to see where those more familiar vowel sounds exist in those words.

No soup. Too dangerous to eat with a long beard, for a first date. Risk making a fool of myself

Wouldn't it be obvious that it's not a dog though. You don't need to see the image to know it's not gonna be a dog, given the setup

Nice use of the ambiguity of the present perfect continuous tense

There's a bunch of words spelt annoyingly because those bastard scholars decided they'd like to incorporate the historic roots of words, rather than the reality of words, in their spelling.

Recently I maxed out my "Watch Later" playlist on YouTube. Turns out you can't have more than 5000 videos in it

I'm not autistic, but I got sick of this stupid expected "how are you?", "fine" nonsense. It's meaningless. Now I just give a quick honest answer. Nobody really finds it weird and it makes for much more engaging non-monotonous interactions.

You can even answer negatively if you manage to tone it right. "Eh, bit stressed", but then in a positive, non-confrontational, tone just add "but how are you?".

As long as you keep it brief, the other person can question it if they are genuinely interested, and then you can have actual conversation, or they won't if they're not really interested, it works fine either way.

This is just terrible.

However, while it does add a layer of annoyance that'll mess things up for most, like any DRM, it fundamentally is unsound and will get cracked. Us good people have a big incentive to do so here. Reading the spec, it still relies on a trusted party (expected to be the OS) and, unlike ie. games consoles, we already have admin access to that party from the get go.

Where it could be a problem is mobile phones. They could target browsers that support ad blocking and you'd probably need to root the phone to get past that.
