HTC Legend, the first smartphone I ever had. I still have several apps from it that I've kept carrying across. Comparing them with the stuff you can get now shows how bad apps and widgets have gotten. Anyhow, the phone design was really Nice.

After her latest research project got defunded by the government, my wife got 4 job offers. 3 short term projects that were perfect for her, 1 permanent contract that she didn't really want to do. She took the latter because fuck this shit.

People are losing research grants for using the words "female" and "woman" too. Not a single thought went into this list.

I've lived next to an dealer too. He got evicted after a few calls to the police (it was social housing).

It got so cold the curtains would freeze to the window. The only heater (electric, would set anything near it on fire) was so old, the antiques roadshow would have paid me a fortune for it.

Also, one of the girls I shared it with would wander around high with a bare chest, for some reason. Her boyfriend would scream and bang on the door at 3am.

Another house mate had a certified Nazi boyfriend who hated me (immigrant) and talked the others into evicting me purely for being foreign. Abusive bastard, got married to house mate later on, I'm sure that didn't end well.

Funny, most Boomers in the UK are dirt poor and live in a tiny rented terrace.

They've stopped sponsoring SF Pride, even though their "we're so inclusive" bits on their website are still up.

They own a LOT of brands, so check out the Wiki and avoid them like the plague.
