I never use them. The supermarket can pay me if it wants me to do its work.

Supermarket self-checkouts must die. And no, I don’t want a receipt

Instant karma is real, and seeing it happen to one of the most deserving maggots in America is amazing.

Good morning.

In a cafe which insists on closing at 3pm even though there are always a fair few customers here then. IMO Aussie cafes need to dare to stay open later. I bet they'd get a lot of business straight after work, say 5-7pm.

We're not still buying DVDs, but we have kept our collection of a couple of hundred titles just in case we ever need to take a break from streaming services to save money. And I'm currently watching season 2 of Doctor Who because it isn't on any streaming services I subscribe to.

Dear Google,

When I search, I am not looking for The Answer. I am looking for sources. A search that generates only answers will be useless personally, and worse than useless professionally for me.

What I would really like is an internet search engine that works. Google did that once. Then they focused on other things and used it for ad revenue and it became the new Craigslist.

It would sure be nice if Google would reinvent an actual internet search engine.
