Yeah you can have a PIN with Island.

Assuming you're asking about the password manager?

Most important for me is that with Bitwarden I can share passwords with someone else.

They're such a good idea we've even kept them after Brexit.

Interesting, I've always had the opposite problem - whatever I say they cut way too much off the top. Perhaps we should go together and order each other's cuts?

I'm not sure I have anything helpful to say other than to suggest keep trying different places until you find one that listens?

This. Especially driving out of carparks.

The survey is of academics across all disciplines so there is no particularly good reason to treat their views on the topic with particular importance.

There's also this:

58 per cent of respondents think sex is binary, except in rare cases such as intersex individuals

So they're only saying it's mostly binary.

(Censuswide, who ran the survey, as are members of the British Polling Council so we can at least expect them to have run the survey reasonably.)

There's a small number of surprisingly aggressive and unhelpful responses here. People are different and the world, especially the workplace, is made by extroverts and that can be difficult for those of us that are more introverted.

In an ideal world your colleagues would be mindful of that but unfortunately that's often not the case (and of course extroverts often don't engage in a whole lot of self reflection).

You're going to have to put up with a bit of annoying small talk. Try to find something that's a compromise you can live with. After that I'd say being polite but direct is best... nice chatting but I need to get back to work. No further elaboration is required.

You can also try telling some people that you're not a big chatter or something and that you like to just get on with work. See how that goes, people are often more understanding than you would expect.

(I should say I live in the UK and work in a technical industry so YMMV).

You probably don't even need to remember much. Just asking how the kids are is enough, anything more specific than that is just a bonus.

This is good advice. Headphones can also work on another level as a signal that you're getting stuff done and don't want to be disturbed. Not all my colleagues get that but perhaps 9/10 do.

What are you using instead of Google Photos?

I'm the other way round, email was the first thing I degoogled. It's Photos I don't know how to replace.

I'll give you a short answer as you've got a lot of detailed ones already: to a native British English speaker "six oh five a m" sounds completely normal. There are other ways to say it that sound equally normal.

+1 for Morrisons. They don't often sub and when they do it's usually not completely mad. We found it was significantly better than the others. I think it's because they use Ocado's tech rather than whatever bodge the other supermarkets have come up with.

Ocado was also good when we tried it ages ago but of course quite pricey (and the last thing I need is easier access to Percy Pigs).
