Down is next because it's a list of songs with the first song at the top and the last at the bottom.

Frankly it's the orientation that makes the most sense when you consider it given most people will be listening from a streaming service, but back when CDs were a thing the songs weren't considered a list but tracks numbered from 1 to n. The up button incremented the track number and so it made sense for up to be next.

Going even further to tapes, fast forward and rewind literally moved the tape left to right/right to left, and so it made sense for them to be right and left respectively, however now it makes less sense other than being what older people are used to

That'd be C4 then

A=>D is decreasing milk amount, and 1=>4 is increasing strength, so D1 would essentially be water, A1 would essentially be milk and the B3/B4/C3/C4 would be the square of "not pulling a face when you take the first sip" (although I lie somewhere between B4 & C3 so I may be biased)

I'm from the UK and ordered a GPU from B&H as they had a sale on and as a result it was a bunch cheaper - there was a some confusion on the billing address (mine doesn't fit nicely in a US format & so got messed up when they tried to store it or something along those lines) but they were great to deal with about it so I'd definitely recommend them also

I mean "[local town] grandma discovers 10 foods you never knew you should avoid" or even downright scams when I say low quality advertising

Also "negative consequences" is a bit overdramatic and I'd love you to elaborate... Really it's down to the person's own opinion, eg you don't like it so you'll reject that sort of thing, meanwhile I don't mind it especially as a way of paying for decent quality media so I'll allow it on some sites but not others

The EU is primarily pro-business, but that also means being against anti-competitive and underhanded business practices

The browser thing sounds like a good solution (although there must be a reason why DNT headers weren't made legally binding, potentially as they wanted to allow people to pick and choose what cookies they allow based on what they thought was "too far" or something but that's conjecture), however disallowing all user data will likely lead to companies not being able to advertise to people who are interested in their products, something which the EU will see as a negative and would also cause an uptick in scams and misinformation as you see in low quality advertising space at the moment

I mean it depends on where... In London the taxis, although expensive and often not the politest to other road users, are nearly universally great service for the customer (and mathematically it very rarely makes sense to run up the meter due to how demand and the fare system works) and also pay the drivers a decent wage as they generally don't have a middleman to pay other than the government for their licence

That said, in the US (specifically New York) my experience was that ubers are generally nicer than taxis, but it's definitely not universal

Nah, it's just a very generic address at a custom domain, so I imagine they just have scripts to email {enquiries, admin, info, help, etc.}@abc.xyz or something

I mean I've used the photo of my passport I've had favourited on my phone whenever my passport number/a scan of my passport has been needed for about the last 10 years, so it's at least an inconvenience to just delete them rather than moving them to documents/files or whatever

It's always in the term after mismanagement that the effects are felt, eg. in the UK how the tories are raising funding sky high for everything, then will inevitably blame Labour for both underspending and making cuts when they get in later this year

Reason 3674 why representative democracy absolutely sucks
