The church is from 14th century. There are a couple of iron age hill forts (no building). I think most of the regular buildings are 19th century onwards.

Ha ha, yeah, I forgot the photo would have needed to be taken!

Somebody’s been recording home movies!

Upvoted for NetSurf. I wrote the Amiga frontend for it, and as such it’s my favourite browser on that platform (OS4 anyway - the OS3 build is very unstable)

Apparently deaf from birth people don’t make any noise when they sneeze, as they’ve not heard anybody else do it so don’t know they “should”.^[1] I’m not a particularly loud sneezer but it strikes me as odd that any noise at all would be learned behaviour.

Some people do make a lot of noise though, to the point where I’m thinking that it can’t all be involuntary.

Yep, it’s a PITA to parse and get the values you want. Much prefer JSON. Recently when I needed to parse XML I ran it through an XML to JSON library. Much easier!

If you need to parse XML just for RSS though, it isn’t so bad as there are RSS specific libraries which take most of the pain away.

I can only assume you’ve never tried to parse or read XML.

Probably about three.

I had some cheap (awful) mirror sunglasses back when they were all the rage, and a pair of prescription sunglasses before I started getting reactive lenses. I must have had at least one other pair but those are the only two I remember.

Old enough to remember the fourth TV channel launching.

Dyslexia - it’s hard to spell even if you’re not dyslexic.

What about cwm?

It’s Welsh, but in the English dictionary for some reason.

I think they’ve glued the Q and U together to make it easier. Technically that’s one single 11 point tile.

The eBay password limit is 256 characters.

They made the mistake of mentioning this when I went to change my password.

Guess how many characters my eBay password has?

It certainly ended somewhere between 2001 and 2007. I remember where I was living when they stopped it.

When mail came twice a day, I used to get my post in the afternoon, consistently, and none in the morning, ever.

When they changed it, my post started turning up earlier, in the morning.

So it was weirdly an improvement. It seems strange now that there was ever two deliveries a day, given I get one letter a week at most now. (parcels are another matter, but again you don’t need Royal Mail delivering parcels twice a day even if you get a lot, so the fact they did this with letters is weird)

Yep.

I don’t normally use extra dim, but with you on the rest!

I find it blinding now. I don’t even like turning the brightness up high (even years before dark mode was common).

Lots of people mentioning Neopets. I did have an account there but couldn’t log back on when I tried a few years back, so I guess my account was deleted (or I’ve got my login details wrong)

Mine’s about the same age, 97 or 98. Log into it very infrequently but it still works.

Everything else I recall having an account on from the late 90s no longer exists.
