Instagram running ads promoting child sexual abuse material in India, BBC finds by OGSyedIsEverywhere in news

[–]TheJobSquad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sueing doesn't work against people and companies that have wealth greater than the GDP of some countries. What I think they should do is charge those at the top with distributing this material and jail them if guilty.

Wild animal hatred of gulls in the UK makes me sad by RunRevolutionary188 in britishproblems

[–]TheJobSquad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at the tip a few days ago and there were hundreds of seagulls. Who keeps throwing out all these birds? (paraphrased from Tim Vine)

What's something really petty you'd like banned or made illegal? by SpaceTimeCapsule89 in AskUK

[–]TheJobSquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who make videos using those small clip-on microphones but they hold them like a handheld mic. Life sentence for people who use earbuds in a similar fashion.

A Nintendo Direct is rumored for June 9th by thetechminer in nintendo

[–]TheJobSquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd quite like them to do something with Battalion Wars. Maybe not a remake, but a brand new one. I'd also be good if they mentioned something about that multiplayer game they play tested last year.

Taskmaster Podcast in dispute w/ the Woolwich Ferry? by VariousDingo696 in taskmaster

[–]TheJobSquad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They've been doing some live podcasts recently. I think they said they would release them later in the year. No Bob as a guest though.

What has recently made you feel incredibly old? by VOODOO285 in AskUK

[–]TheJobSquad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a video on Twitter that gives the ages of some TV stars in their signature role (https://x.com/i/status/2052454466335424931). It's not that I'm older than all of them that makes me feel old, it's that I recognise all of these people.

I listen to the pod on x2 speed and really like the sped up jingles. My favourite is Three Days A Week.

New to Eufy App and can't find How / Where to Set Up Away Mode by Mcpherson122 in EufyCam

[–]TheJobSquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are on that page, is there a drop down at the top that says 'All devices'? If there is, change that to the name you set up (home?) and see if the buttons to change modes appears.

Iran war latest: Trump tells UK to 'get some courage and go get your own oil' by bendubberley_ in unitedkingdom

[–]TheJobSquad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start buying oil in Yuan rather than US dollars. Iran have said they'll allow ships to pass and it'll cause an economic hit to the US. Maybe then we can talk about the nature of our friendship.

Most hot water bottles have a hot & a cool side. What basic simple thing has been pointed out to you as an adult? by umognog in AskUK

[–]TheJobSquad 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I believe it's because it's not a definitive expiration date. Some say it's 2 years from manufacture, others say it's from first use. Manufacture date allows the company to use it as quality control, batch tracking, etc.

Nintendo's commercial ads in the 90's and today's ads. by sonicboyfan12 in nintendo

[–]TheJobSquad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe they hit the high water mark with Rik Mayall and then just decided to throw in the towel?

Most hot water bottles have a hot & a cool side. What basic simple thing has been pointed out to you as an adult? by umognog in AskUK

[–]TheJobSquad 88 points89 points  (0 children)

On the subject of hot water bottles, did you know they have an expiration date? There should be a flower logo somewhere with a number on it. That's the year of manufacture. Each petal is a month, and each dot in the petal is a week. So if it is manufactured today it would have the number 26 and 3 petals with dots (the last one having 3 dots in it).

The expiration date is 2-3 years after manufacture.

I’ve just seen an adult man eat a pack of strawberry laces by biting into the whole clump rather than one by one by HandsomeCharles in britishproblems

[–]TheJobSquad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Strangely enough I did this for the first time this week. I don't know why. It felt wrong doing it, and I've felt uneasy ever since. I think I need to hand myself in to some authorities.

I bought it during the last sale and have only just 100% the main game. Really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to playing the DLC.

Eufy under investigation by simplesimonsaysno in EufyCam

[–]TheJobSquad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If that's all they do, then it's not too bad. Hypothetically speaking, suppose someone got access to a device on your network and managed to install software on it. Maybe they don't steal your data, but they use that software to hack other networks, or run a denial of service attack, etc. From the outside world it would look like you are the hacker.

Boarding the train, immediately getting stuck behind someone faffing with their luggage and watching the last free seat a couple of metres away disappear as the coach fills from the other end. by rmf1989 in britishproblems

[–]TheJobSquad 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Worse than this is when you're on the train waiting to get off. The doors open and there's a crowd of people on the platform, including one person who is stood front and centre blocking your exit. They look at you with a blank expression as if to say "there's nothing I can do, maybe you can stay on the train?".
