I just had to use someone else's credit card to get round the rediculous Online Safety Act. See what you're doing to me, stupid ineffectual government!?

Cranky Brit, hobbiest music composer, producer, and beatmaker, gamer of sorts, and teutophile, all topped off by a visual impairment for extra measure.
Fight Chat ControlUPDATE: The European Parliament voted today to *end* untargeted mass scanning of private communications, firmly rejecting the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years! Next: trilogue negotiations w/ Commission and Council.
God, AI debates are exhausting and almost always so pointless.
You know I see all this harrumph and uproar about the new WhatsApp Windows app in Electron, but surely the worst thing that everyone's ignoring is the fact that it no longer has controller support?
I'ma say it: the Inside Out soundtrack is a master composition and I get shivers every time I listen to it
1. If you're choking on an ice cube, simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat. Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself.
2. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetables.
3. Avoid arguments with females about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink.
4. For high blood pressure sufferers, simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins. Remember to use a timer.
5. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you'll be too afraid to cough.
7. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
8. If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
I just found a version of Danse Macabre for piano and solo violin, and somehow the sparser arrangement makes the piece feel even more macabre. Like, if Danse Macabre was the opening theme of a film, this version would definitely be the credits theme.
I regularly write dates in shortened dd.mm format, however they're regularly confused as times, and it means when you click something like "Mon, 10.11", you're asked if you want to create a new event for the next Monday at 10:11 instead of on 10.11.25. Come on people! This is a solved issue: just stop using the wrong punctuation mark for times.
I just got an Apple Watch, and the speaker on it genuinely left me speechless for a few minutes. The fact that it's comparible to that of a phone from less than 10 years ago astounds me. I suppose the size of it is pretty similar, but it's the fact that it's coming from a (relatively) tiny device on my wrist, rather than the slabs in our pockets we've all come to know. Not surprisingly, it doesn't have particularly defined bass, still kicks and other low-end sounds still seem to punch through without muddying the mids and highs, which are pretty clear. Colour me very impressed.
German really is simplistically beautiful sometimes.
