The problem is that you can’t send from Hide My Email, except in a reply.

I use it a lot but if I think that I’ll need to contact by email by the HME address, I use one of my AppleID aliases.

I encountered something like this at work. It wasn’t pass related, it was just a means of getting people to make text responses. Ampersands were replaced with some gibberish format, which annoyed everyone.

I got some kind of explanation from our tech people, which I understood to mean that ampersand was used to indicate that what followed was live code. Turning the ampersand into gibberish text was a safety measure to stop mischief.

I’ve noticed ampersand replacements in some news feeds too

Yes, that’s true. Keychain Access helps a lot.

My understanding is that your GF will be using Apple’s KeyChain, which is pretty good except that it’s hard to look inside and manually edit. It’s not just in Safari.

The upcoming Password app is just a nice user interface to KeyChain. So no change to the functionality as such, but I think it’ll make a big difference to how it’s used.

Similar, here.

Stopped at lights on drive into work next to a woman at the wheel, spooning down her breakfast from a bowl.

Someone, I told at work asked if you could get into trouble for this…maybe not the first time, but, yes, if you’re a cereal offender.

My student accommodation had cockchafers. The university didn’t believe us until one of my friends presented them with one in a matchbox.

Thank you. I think the decades-old chemistry-class flashback distracted me from thoroughly absorbing the full post!

Thank you (4 now added!)

They told me at school that ‘p’ meant ‘negative log’. So ‘pH’ means ‘the negative log of the concentration of Hydrogen ions in moles/litre’.

pH 1 is 1 x 10^-1^ (strong acid)

pH 7 is 1 x 10^-7^ (neutral)

pH 14 is 1 x 10^-14^ (alkaline)

(Chemistry was a long time ago, though)

Oh, same problem as flammable and inflammable.

Thankyou! I can not stand it either.
