As someone who uses it extensively it’s definitely a step backwards.

The feel good. I think similar to the 7s. Always hard to compare then the 7s are well worn.

I find all those social posts saying “I can’t believe I only just found out you can cook xyz in an air fryer” funny because it’s going to blow their minds when they work out that an air fryer is just a tiny oven. 🤯

I’m a BBQ sauce pizza lover too. This is the best sauce for that.

About 20 years ago I actually looked into this when I saw a job ad. Needless to say I didn't go further than reading about it 😂

If the sales process becomes too hard and the client is trying to screw you on price - walk away. Difficult sales process = difficult project.

It’s great. Lots of sherry and a nice amount of smoke. Will definitely it again.

I shouldn't have to explain this to adults: "Part of the problem is we need a landscape image (horizontal) and cropping a portrait image to fit just doesn’t work because of the composition - basic shape/space physics."

When the time it takes to write a quote due to the excessive and unnecessary information required by the client takes longer than actually doing the work.

I'd like to thank Gravity Forms for its latest malware issue. I had just replied to a client explaining why we don't (and won't) use WordPress when the news popped up on my feed. Needless to say I forwarded this to them www.searchenginejournal.com/malware-disc...

I hope not. I want to go and test that now. Although Siri hardly gets anything right when you’re close so probably not an issue 😂

Siri is getting more and more useless. Me: “Hey Siri, stop playing music downstairs” Siri: “Sorry I can’t stop the music try again” Also - music stops. 🤪

I hate replying on 3rd party IT people to update DNS when putting a site live. Inevitably they screw it up. The number of IT support people who don't understand DNS is gobsmacking!

How is it that is 2025 companies are still asking for an ID check when they call you? My heath insurance company calls me out of the blue and says "Before I can tell you why I'm calling I need to do an ID check". Me: Um, no.

I’ve been helping someone with a Wordpress site that uses Elementor and I have come to the conclusion that WP/Elementor isn’t web design or development, it’s button clicking.
