In the UK it’s got to be the City of London. Famous for being an ancient city established by the Romans and awash with history, now one of the world’s biggest financial centers with a modern skyline of famously distinctive skyscrapers. It’s home to some world-famous landmarks like Saint Paul’s Cathedral and Tower Bridge, and has a population of about 10,000.
The City of London is not to be confused with London, London, London or London.
Are Temu the ones who say “pretend you’re a billionaire” or something but their ads always have the most bizarre, undesirable-looking, nasty, cheap, plastic things in them?

We’re talking about Southern US pronunciation so much that I read your comment from “do I” onwards as if it was being spoken like a Southern Belle.
I say “all of y’all” and make a point to really emphasize the “'”.
Good, thanks. You?
Good, thanks. You?
Good, thanks. You?
Good, thanks. You?
Same thing happened here in the UK years ago. “Want to make out democracy better?” “Nah, mate.”
Good guy The Guardian. For my fellow Brits, here is your regular reminder that there are only two major independent news outlets in the UK: The Guardian and the BBC.
Didn’t you hear? All Arabs in Lebanon are Hezbollah.
Or they’re sheltering Hezbollah, which is as bad as being Hezbollah.
Or they know someone who is sheltering Hezbollah, which is as bad as sheltering Hezbollah.
Or they live near someone who knows someone who is sheltering Hezbollah, which is as bad as knowing someone who is sheltering Hezbollah.
And so on.
If you’ve got a spare quarter-hour, take a listen to the disquiet all those gifts can cause.
Sounds good. Tell you what, why don’t you write a complete list of every problem that needs sorting, objectively ranked in order of importance, and we can make sure no-one addresses problem #2 until problem #1 is fixed.
Perfect is the enemy of good.
Do you know which Jack is your favourite? You should have a contest determine your favourite Jack. A Jack-Off, if you will.
And My Axe.
WFM. Looks like you’re using Let’s Encrypt, which is fine, and everything seems to be consistent. I think you’re good.
<Sips licence like a fine wine served at a dinner party.> Ah, yes, GPLv3, exquisite choice.
I don’t know why but I thought they were some special inaccessible computers.
It’s their marketing. Marketing, marketing, bullshit and marketing. Macs get viruses, Macs have vulnerabilities, Macs crash. Doesn’t matter how much their indoctrinated fans might claim otherwise, Macs are just weird PCs. In that context, their refusal to allow their owners to control them is all the more jarring and makes owning the older models like you mentioned all the more sensible.
The phrase “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” was coined to mock the sort asanine bullshit that grifters spouted, and eventually those same grifters started to use it unironically and without any self-awareness.
Interesting to see “trust me bro” get the same treatment.
“If you don’t vote, you vote for the winner.”
This is really niche, but most organisations have a Microsoft Active Directory, or equivalent, that tracks users, their credentials, and their permissions. The sign of a bad AD admin: permissions directly applied to user objects without any intermediary objects or abstraction in AD.
I know, right? Why deal with Problem X when Problem Y also exists?
