@CompaniesHouse filing accounts for dormant company, your web page instructs users to enter "0" but the form validation rejects this as invalid. Took me ages to figure out that you actually have to enter "0.00" for the page to submit.

Garbage design, nightmare for users. Fix it

@LPNH @anarchyburger77 The jackpooted state sponsored murderers staying at home would have saved his life,and if I believed what "libertarians" claim to believe thats what I would focus on

But Ive never come across a libertarian who actually believes what they claim to; in the end its always hypocrisy

[Alex R @marquoth]

@Strongarm55LBC @TheLordOfThePug @LPNH Wasn't interfering - was stood at the roadside recording, as per his 1A rights. Had a concealed weapon which he never drew, and which he had the proper permit for, per his 2A rights

If youre pretending his killing was justified, dont ever claim to support those rights ever again

@spellyp @by_niels @derlumberzack @tuko_cr @carapintada13 It doesn't come into play tapped!

How much clearer can we all make it to you?

Spelunking causes it to come into play UNtapped, amulet does not trigger.

[Alex R @marquoth]

@carapintada13 Back when we had GPs, on the Friday before the main event, the judges would have seminars. We would discuss important interactions in the format, especially the weird ones like Heliod + Starfield of Nyx. This absolutely would have been covered - its a bad one to get wrong.

[Alex R @marquoth]

@daniel_brodie @carapintada13 Yes, and this is not a replacement effect. If there are no other replacement effects, Spelunking's effect applies and the land enters untapped. The player does not get a choice unless there is another replacement effect.

[Alex R @marquoth]

@Gobern_ @carapintada13 @fanfinity_mtg Who was the judge?

[Alex R @marquoth]

@etcherlys @theonly_jf @wildstwawberry It's literally copy-pasted from the IPG

Order @UberUK; app says trip will cost £26. Driver takes me round the houses, and when I finally get dropped off the app charges me £63. MORE THAN DOUBLE

Trying to appeal but the app is stuck in an automated "computer says no" loop with no human involvement. How is this legal?

[Alex R @marquoth]

In @IndeedUK 's new TV ad, interviewee asks about salary & interviewer dodges question; implication is Indeed cuts out this kind of behaviour

But Indeed allows employers to post ads without a salary & doesnt let jobseekers filter out those results. Indeed is part of the problem

@ftlofantasy your stupid ass website won't let me book entry tickets because it thinks 159 is bigger than 170.

[Alex R @marquoth]

@DisneyPlus how come you only see the amount of time elapsed/remaining when fast-forwarding/rewinding, but not when paused?

Utterly terrible UX. Every other streaming service has this figured out.

[Alex R @marquoth]

@Em_TeeGee The comments on stream are the exact opposite of what enfranchised/competitive players (the ones who actually play RCQs) want to hear, and the clarification/walkback above does little to improve upon it

[Alex R @marquoth]

@Em_TeeGee I have zero faith the post-breach format will be healthy (should have done more than only ban breach) and the soft commitment to "no bans during modern season" leaves me with even less confidence that this season will be enjoyable

[Alex R @marquoth]

@SaffronOlive Well they didnt "emergency" ban it, as they probably should have done, but thats not what Im staying

They still hit it at the earliest scheduled b&r right? They didnt say "its b&r time, but were not touching modern because its modern season" - they just went ahead and banned it
