 Those of you who are not web devs (good choice) may not quite appreciate what this means. You know how websites are loads slower now, and don't work without JavaScript? Well, one of the big (dubious) arguments made in favour of this transition was that you download a bunch more code first, but then it'll make everything faster once you're there. It's front loading. What @Alex Russell has shown is that this is not relevant, because people don't stay on the sites long enough to get the benefit. View quoted note →
Saw a share of this about disabling Gemini in Google Drive settings > manage apps, did it (Gemini was set to "use by default"), and it works. Also, Google decision makers, screw you for opting this app that I do not want into my files. image
Last night’s discussion with darling daughter, which I would be interested in thoughts on: does anybody make advertising jingle songs any more? Did they ever for non-edible things? The rules here are: * a signature short bit of music (like Intel’s doo-DOO-doo-DOO) is not a jingle song * neither is a short phrase sung, like “maybe it’s Maybelline” or “Washing machines live longer with Calgon!” * “any more” means: it hasn’t been standard since I was a kid. No Flake song, or Shake-n-Vac
People have been doing delivery vegetable and recipe boxes for years, but I’ve only just discovered that they do delivery meat boxes as well! That seems like a thing worth trying. Anybody got any recommendations for or against people who do this in the UK? Bonus points if it does deli meats (charcuterie cooked stuff) as well as uncooked. Feel free to drop a referral code if you have one!
So, here’s a question. I keep all my condiments in my fridge. Jars of mustard, mint sauce, jam, bottles of ketchup and salad cream and brown sauce. When I was growing up, all that stuff was in cupboards, not the fridge. I don’t remember being told to change, but I did. Why? We all seem to have done.
