Ziff Davis sites do this. Very aggravating.

I’ve often said that it is not whether or not you offend someone; it’s whether or not someone is offended.

Offence is up to the receiver after all.

Anther··on 78 days, and still no broadband (Sky/Openreach, UK)
I can thoroughly and whole-heartedly recommend plusnet. Not only do we get the full advertised speed at all times, but the couple of times I have had issues, they explained clearly what was happening and were not afraid to indulge in more technical chat when they found I knew what I was doing.

Thank you for that link. It gave me a good chuckle. I work for a lab that analyses air samples. H2S is indeed interesting stuff.
Anther··on Olympus quits camera business after 84 years
That’s very handy. I’ve not seen anyone talking about Blackmagic in this thread, but my Pocket 4K is always in need of new m4/3 lenses!
Anther··on Show HN: TheKnob – sound volume control knob made of concrete and RGB lights

Anther··on America is giving up on the pandemic?
