  • “A voice note is just like talking on the phone but better,” says Susie Jones, a 19-year-old student. “You get the benefits of hearing your friend’s voice but comes with no pressures so it’s a more polite way of communicating”.

    Gross, voice notes are the worst of both worlds.

    Text for things that are information critical, phone calls for things that are time critical.

    Email for business (and keep the original chain going instead of starting a new one every time you think of something else to add!), text messages for associates, chat apps for friends and family.

    Anyone who disagrees is wrong.





  • By this argument I could join a tennis tournament and take a shit on the court and punch the judge and you’d think that makes me a star player because people that don’t follow tennis heard of me.

    Where did I say I thought they were a star? I just said they’re the only one I remember. If you shat on a tennis court in front of (hundreds of?) millions of people during a global broadcast event I reckon I’d remember you too.







  • Chinese manufacturers always look amazing on paper, but are terrible in reality.

    Huge batteries that die faster than a Pixel with half the capacity, cameras with infinity megapixels that just end up taking huge terrible photos, software updates lololol, usually the tackiest theme overlaid so you get blue highlights on buttons with green backgrounds…

    I’ve had way too many pieces of crap Xiaomi and Doogee and Ulefones over the years to ever go back after having a couple of Pixels.




  • I use to get a “trk special” at the local takeaway - they literally added it to their menu board because I got it so frequently and other people who heard also got it.

    It was three pieces of bread, all the salads (tomato, lettuce, carrot, onion, cucumber, beetroot) and aioli sauce on the bottom, then a spicy kebana sliced horizontally with a heap of pepper sauce and a slice of cheese on the top layer. Quick toast with butter so the outer slices gave a tiny bit of crisp and the cheese starts to sag and voila.

    Another one they added to their menu board was the “xxxx trucks special” which was named after a local business. All the apprentices there used to buy this one because it was cheap and filling. It was a fresh toasted hotdog roll, with a sausage roll instead of a sausage, and a heap of butter and tomato sauce.
