RIP someone or another
That would be Sir Terry to you. His Eurovision commentary was part of the fun. Just rewatched the episode of N M T B he hosted on hearing the news. That's another national treasure gone. RIP Sir Terry

Expensive and/or raved-about headphones that actually suck!
Agreed. We recently attended a head-fi meet in a manner so ironic we didn't actually bother to listen to anything.

Turn on the speakers / subwoofers for project CARS / Star Wars Battlefield. What are the temporary Air B'N'B ers going to do? Complain? And with what standing, exactly?

Which Cooking Are You?
Yes, the results (assuming you have something that can give a good sear) pay for themselves. Compare, say , a trip to a steakhouse for two, vs same cuts cooked at home (and that's before not paying the margins on the drinks) fire and forget. No brainer, Why not get from amazon , or somewhere with a good return policy, if you are unhappy / "not totally satisfied".

And now what did you do TODAY?
Used to be Suit & (Silk) Tie / Company Car in the UK, when customer facing. Been There, Done That Company I started work for had an outfit leasing scheme - for tax reasons. They bough the "work outfit". depreciated them while you leased them. You could buy them outright at the end, for the depreciated value. (This was a response to 90% marginal tax rates ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_taxation_in_the_United_Kingdom#20th_century) Now I wear Jeans in the US. And get paid more. The previous decade and a half in California seems to have shrunk my suits Never met a compiler it made a difference to.

WiMP comes to the UK/US as Tidal
Anyone else with a cancelled Tidal subscription get this? Saw a payment to Tidal via PayPal of $19.99 @ 02:05:05 PST, this morning ... Thought, I don't remember doing that, and I wasn't even awake then ... Googled to see if this was a known issue, then at 9:25AM PST, on the account email (gmail to be exact) I get an email from TIDAL support with the subject line Important information concerning incorrect billing And contents Dear User We are sorry to inform you that due to an error, you have been billed 19.99$ for a TIDAL subscription. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience, and have already refunded the amount to your account. However, it can take from 2-5 business days to show up on your credit card statement. In addition to the full refund, we have also given you free access to TIDAL Premium for the next three months as a compensation. Your TIDAL account is now active, and you can log in with your existing username [email protected] and password. Again, we apologize for this, and appreciate your patience and understanding. Thank you TIDAL Cock-up or stealth marketing? Any other damages worth going after, HC-Legal, given unauthorized, rather than incorrect, billing?
