You've reminded me of my favourite one of those that's probably mostly experienced by British people

On a country or language list I'm either looking for, "United Kingdom" "Great Britain", "Britain"/"British", "England"/” English"

Now that's kinda fair enough, it's usually UK, so I go to the bottom and start my hunt there.

The big problem comes when the list is ordered by whatever value they're using to represent the choice, not the text itself, so you get stuff like "United Kingdom" where "Great Britain" should be.

This is not uncommon

People don't have to like it, but he's objectively right

Can we anticipate strange?

Oh what a surprise

I should watch the mighty boosh again

Damn that looks so good I'm gonna have to try and find those tteok somewhere so I can make it myself

Please do not struggle in the face of your certain demise

Feel bad hit of the summer

I bet you if it exists, the Scottish soft drink company Barr probably makes it

It's been absolutely years since I had either, but I reckon Tizer is probably not too far off that red bull taste. I might be completely misremembering though

I'd say long term, neither of those should be problems

The electricity it uses is not sustainable.

Many EV users also go for solar panels to alleviate energy costs. Also as a country's electrical grid modernises, it should make use of a greater share of renewables given they're cheaper than the alternatives now.

It has lots of tracking etc and in some cases remote control.

Slightly less certain, but I'd hope this kind of thing is legislated away at some point. There's also always customer choice, there will be manufacturers that compete on the privacy angle if enough of us care

The main problem with EVs is it doesn't solve any of the problems inherent to cars being treated as the main mode of transportation in a given area. Places like that will see EVs as the solution compared to an alternative of investing into better public transit infrastructure.

Infrastructure that is basically inevitable, since we know now that any town/city that eschews anything but car transit will ultimately bankrupt themselves on road maintenance alone.

Gonna need you to elaborate a bit here

If you just mean simply how they created the design: some designers will have put proposals together and built the icon designs up in something like illustrator

If you mean how Apple can change the icon based on settings, if it's anything like the Android adaptive icon feature we've had for a few years, it'll be a main colour transparent PNG of the main part of the icon and a 2nd monochrome version of the same. Then the user & OS can do what they like when rendering the icon, regarding icon borders and background colour

I was on call during a work team night out at a darts place and had to get on the WiFi there to check it out an incident

It was one of those ones that has a camera for action replays and I'm in the background of one tapping away

Someone had better get writing a script for a horror movie based on this concept

Can't ban Molotovs if it comes to it

..... Why don't those little trees look so happy any more...?

Not that I can see

Your own exploitation, you mean?

Something like 95% of all meaningful pharmaceutical breakthroughs come from public academia

More than anyone else, I really struggle to see any humanity in spin-doctors from the pharmaceutical industry. I'd say it's pretty clearly inhumane to gouge the sick for profit.
