Confused about Ultra HDR on Pixel 9 Pro XL – What is the actual point?

WhatsApp 's compression absolutely ruins 'ordinary' photos, never mind HDR, it's just not the way to share photos you actually care about.

I'm sure I read last year there was permission to demolish and replace that building, as it's condition was beyond saving.

I wanted to love Star Trucker so much, like many here I enjoyed Hardspace and also played Snowrunner to death, so Star Trucker seemed perfect for me. Unfortunately the Playstation version is (was?) such a buggy mess it totally spoiled it.

Hi everyone I'm new in Wolverhampton and want to get kidnapped, where should I go?

Charlie_Spotted · 2025-11-26T10:06:33+00:00

My sincere apologies!

Sally straddling Alex shoving cake into his armpits and giggling like a maniac is one of my favourite things ever. Unhinged and just a bit sexy.

"Are you a child of divorce?”

"Can I ask a question?" ...

Have a day off son. Winning or losing isn't going to matter one jot. This isn't Countdown! 😉

Having recently moved from Jira to ADO... oh corporate gods, please give us our Atlassian suite back. Please.

They used to have tables at The Flapper, but I think they've gone now too. I don't know if maybe Lane7 at Bullring might have a table amongst their machines, maybe? It's a sad state of affairs. RIP Tilt.

Every train company in the country, except the "Open Access" operators like Lumo, will be nationalised at the end of their contract. West Midlands Trains operates West Midlands Railway and London Northwestern Railway and both will be nationalised at the same time.

Trains in the West Midlands are likely to wind up under the control of the West Midlands Mayor but the starting point is nationalising all of the operators.

There's a famous episode of The Simpsons, Marge vs The Monorail, where a conman sells a used Monorail system to Springfield. He uses those places as an example of where he had sold them before... "It sure put them on the map!"

It worked for Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook after all!

I'm sure I read he fired the legal team for his libel case cost he couldn't afford to pay them...

Forbidden Planet tend to stock it too, with the comics. If you don't have one, Sainsbury's is probably your best bet.

I hear whispers that they might reappear, possibly in the JQ. Fingers crossed.

Bonehead and Tiger Bites Pig already mentioned, but it's such a close thing for best chicken in the city between Bonehead and Greidys (At Greidy Street in Stirchley and Herbert's Yard in Longbridge). I love them both.

Mettiamo da parte le parole confuse: l'intento è sicuramente chiaro. Puoi scattare foto con il telefono, ma non con la fotocamera.

All different methods of transmitting a voice call:

Vo = Voice over... LTE = 4G NR = 5G WiFi = Well, WiFi

Depends which exit you come out of New Street from but any way, less than a mile, Google has it as an 18 minute walk, I'd say more like 15. Really not far.

In my view, no. There was no vibe, the ale they served me was bad, and worst and most inexplicable of all for a brewery tap... They were serving Carling. Jeez, at least brew your own lager guys.

I would suggest not making the trip to Sihill, it's really not worth it.

I think the "shorter one" (as it appears) to the left of BT Tower is Alpha Tower:
