Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11-8-2022 — Hadrian Caesar

11th August. 2022.


Right … I’ve just check the BBC’s weather report for today.

And … ?

They say it’s going to be thundery … next week.

Today?

It’s looks like it’s going to be hot …

Oh, before I forget … ?

My latest Stranger Things review is up!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9-7-2022 — Hadrian’s Rule

9th July, 2022.


Yes: it’s Saturday.

A day of dancing, jollity, and generalised stuff.

Personally?

I’m planning on going shopping: I like bread.

Oh, and cornflakes.

And possibly … ?

I might just have to see about a new dustpan and brush: miner seem to …

No … wait … I’ve found it.

NOW all I need to worry about is a new backpack!

Mine’s getting a bit ratty!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24-1-2019: Hadrian

25th January, 2019.


Yes: I had my benefits, yesterday, and managed to at least pay my rent.

After taking out as much as I could from the nearest cash machine.

I couldn’t take out enough to go shopping, yesterday: as I reached my withdrawal limit.

And couldn’t take out any more cash from my branch … as they were shut due to “unforeseen circumstances” … 

At any rate … ?

It’s something I can remedy, today: simply by heading back to town.

On a day that — looking out of my front room window — that looks objectively quite nice for The time of year … 


But certainly — according to the BBC’s Weather app — looks like it could be … sub zero … 


The word yummy springs to mind, here: although, as Trevor^ pointed out in a comment on yesterday’s set?

“At least the sidewalks were clear” … 

The pavements?

Are equally clear, today.

I know you’re possibly not a one who follow the technology news … but I do … 

With Brexit looming ever nearer?   Anything that affects opinion gets looked at.

Including newspapers.

One piece of news I saw, yesterday?

Was that a new browser extension has been released: one that tells you if a given news site is unbiased, and/or accurate.

That extension is one that that famously pro-Brexit paper, the Daily Mail has fallen foul of.


The twist in this tale?

Is that the extension in question has — in one mobile browser — gone from being an optional add-on … 

To being built in.

The browser?   Is the mobile version of Microsoft’s own Edge browser.

I’m told Edge has a comparatively small market share.

Both on mobile devices, and the desktop.

I think, thought, that the Mail will really start complaining … 

When Edge’s market share goes up … 

And Microsoft realises a desktop version …
