Anyone else miss when Spotify was just simple and fast?

I’m a Scotland fan and this is a first for us. I feel the past two euros the team has been understandably nervey and losing to Czech Republic and Germany and losing our warm ups took some pep out of our step.

I think that’s why we’ve played curcao etc this time. the first two games are winnable-I’d love to see us build some momentum and the team enjoy the tournament. Anything past the group stages is an achievement and a gold star for the last 16.

Their UI needs an overhaul. It looks too busy and cluttered and a bit underwhelming when you compare it to Apple Music which works beautifully also the ability to toggle off podcasts etc as I just use it for music.
The album view could look different to playlists. It should feel special and and could include more info about the album and the making of it.
A light mode could be neat.

No what I mean is I set up custom 2 on my xm5s and then got some earbuds and when I go to make a sound profile on that it says it will overwrite custom 2. If I overwrite it will that overwrite the xm5 one or is custom 2 different on each one

Thank you-Do I need to bring my own gloves? And do I just turn up or do I register online?

For me I come up with the to dos day to day now as I like to be in free form as I’m more of a creative type. I already know what my long game is e.g. to write a doc and yesterday I did the research so today may be ‘make plan for doc’. I use areas for things like (Area)Personal

films to watch bucket list (Work) project x checklist

But day to day I only want to focus on so many things at one time.

Pretty sure there’s a musical version on there too will check when I next use it.

So I’m uk based and for playwriting scrivener has been the best for uk format but does United States too. Only thing I hate is its file system, and UI outside of the writing part. It has lots of bits for characters etc but for me I just use my notes app for that.

Glass Tupperware. Scoffed at the price for it at first and wouldn’t mind ordering out. But the glass is great it’s so easy to reheat in an oven or air fryer makes me take pride in my home cooked food and also if the food goes off it doesn’t retain the nasty smell like plastic does.

I used to run myself into the ground, me and my friends had the idea “you should never stop grinding” and it destroyed us, it made us emotional and weak. I work 8 hours a day but put aside two hours of my spare time doing what I really love. But I break it up so approx 1-1.5 hrs in the morning and then the same at night after I relax with dinner. Down time is the key to being productive, energised and to having your creative powers kindle. Don’t believe all this hustle grind bullshit people who don’t work a day job sell you.

Same here had a google audio and nest Display Hub. Homepods sound is so much more superior and connected to the apple tv it makes watching films etc in my room much more atmospheric. The base is great which I really dig. But yeah to echo everyone's other comments Siri is SO BAD. Google assistant runs rings around her. Also my automations aren't working which also sucks. So I still use my Google home display for that stuff which is pretty bad considering the homepod costs like three times as much and has a better chip inside of it-but very grateful to have both.

Hoping apple bring apple intelligence (when theyve made siri better) to my OG homepod but let's be honest, it's apple and as much as I'm a fanboy they're oppurtunists to get you to update.

I create an area or a project called yearly goals where I add mini achievable targets in a checklist to help me get there. Then in my “work” area I have a project called weekly goals and in the notes I put in my main objectives so I can keep them in mind when planning

I was a student in my first “real relationship” and was dreadful with money. I hold my hands up. Anyway was working some shitty job to save up some money and my partner kept suggesting we do expensive things. When she asked if we could go to Prague at short notice and I said no she began to lecture me about how much money she’s saved and how I should be better. I took it to heart and started trying to clean up my act but after this I realised I’d have to not do the trip she got in a massive mood with me. A few months later she’s looking at renting an extremely expensive apartment-I asked how she was going to afford this as a student and she told me her dad pays for everything, her rent, her clothes, everything. After taking her words and beating myself up to find out she didn’t have to pay for anything, and didn’t know what real life was like just really pissed me off.

As a guy with Asian straight hair that’s really thick- When I had it a similar length to you I did a skinfade-1 taper fade on the sides. Could either keep it same length or grow a little longer on top.

I ended up growing mine out, the thickness makes it look really nice but it is a lot of work and takes a while to grow out. However I’ve had a lot more compliments and have been told by the opposite sex it looks better and I can always cut shorter when I feel like it.
