UK here. Quite a rural area in the mid-90s, and worlds away from US gun culture, but one time our school was playing rugby against another rival school and a lad brought in a .22 air rifle and shot one of their players in the ass from the edge of the pitch. It was hilarious for those not involved, kid got a telling off and may have been briefly suspended, but thinking about how that would have been reported these days it would probably have caused national outrage.

My money’s on Chappers filling in.

Thing is though, There’s plenty of sources I haven’t blocked. It’s basically just the Daily Mail and a shitty red-top, so I can’t believe they only curate the sources that I’ve blocked. In which case the feed should consist of headlines from the other huge array of other news sources.

Cheers - this would work, but first requires whitelisting all the sources you’re happy to see news from, rather than simply not showing you news from sources you’ve blocked.

I mean, this is specifically mildly infuriating, and there are other positives to it.

Fair enough. Although I would say that the magazine aspect (which I use it for primarily) couldn’t really adhere to that. The printed publications that you’d buy in a newsagent contain printed ads. I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s not different. Paper copy or digital, you’re getting ads with whichever one you pay for.

Isn’t it the publications themselves that contain the ads rather than the app itself?

Well now I’m going to have to try it aren’t I.

Not sure I’d agree, as the sources are configurable, but this sort of shit is far from a great user experience.

Apple Arcade for me

To be fair, the magazines available on News+ are great. I have Apple One because it covers all the household’s music/storage/fitness solutions for a reasonable price (considering how many people are on my subscription). News+ is included, and the list of magazine subscriptions bundled within it is surprisingly extensive. The app’s not perfect though, as this crappy design shows.

The fridge egg holder is for keeping hard boiled eggs, not raw ones.

That’s an interesting observation, I hadn’t thought of that. Although the day I consider pre-boiling eggs for later consumption is the day I give up on the illusion of youth.

I put them in the fridge… On top of the egg holder … In their box

Absolute madman

It’s what’s going in the appliance I’m asking about, not the appliance itself.

To be honest, I live rurally and there’s no shortage of roadside eggs available from nearby farms. A lot of them actually stock local shops, including the bigger chains where I live, because there’s an overall community preference to buy local where possible.

In terms of flavour, that’s actually something that’s recommended by at least one celebrity chef here, who suggests not putting them in the fridge so that they don’t absorb tastes and smells from other foods within.

James Martin’s egg opinion

Yeah I know, that’s why I was focusing on UK egg-fanciers.

Yeah that doesn’t really apply to eggs though, their “container” is unopened. Otherwise your fridge will get messy.

But yeah, obviously I’m gonna put stuff in the fridge that would go off once the seal has been broken.

This’ll blow your mind, but I actually put the box on top of the fridge. It makes sense in my kitchen layout, but I understand how much of fridge-tease it is for them.

Refrigerating eggs also roughly doubles their shelf life.

Yeah that’s fair enough, although they already last for ages. “Can’t wait to eat these eggs in a month”.

Still one too many pieces of packaging for my liking. Put the OG egg holder in the fridge. The chicken.
