Opera is not a trustworthy browser and there has been no point in it existing since they stopped using presto.

Eventually it'll just be a K9 update with a new name and logo.

Apparently this shift in strategy worked, since the company is still here.

$3,000,000,000,000 understatement.

Stone then pounds eg 11 stone 8.

Yeah, same as Alphabet. Neither of these renamed their key product either. Just put a new company on top.

Milk bottles are still imperial sized, but funnily I more often hear people say "big milk" '& "small milk" rather than pints.

It's actually a real mix. Actually look at the milk you buy, some shops will do half litre, litre etc bottles some will do pint, 2 pint bottles. I'm pretty sure they'll be priced the same. Clever little bit of shrinkflation where 0.5 litres is 68ml smaller.

I'm 38 and I use stone because that's what I was taught as a kid. Metric for all other weights though.

Yeah I agree if you send it without doing any kind of personalisation. I think LLM shine as a template or starting point for various things. From there it's up to the user to actually make it theirs.

I get what they mean. It can help you articulate what you're feeling. It can be very hard to find the right words a lot of the time.

If you're using it as a template and then making it your own then what's the harm?

In the UK we call it a dead cat strategy.

There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don’t mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point, says my Australian friend, is that everyone will shout, ‘Jeez, mate, there’s a dead cat on the table!’ In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat – the thing you want them to talk about – and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief.[1]

If they did put in fake candidates then this is massive electoral fraud and there needs to be crippling fines and jail time for their leadership.

On a side note, why the hell do we have to have ID to vote, but to stand you clearly don't need to prove you even exist with ID?
