To be fair, we in the UK often talk about the government giving us a golden shower as well. We do phrase it "slightly" differently though :-/

It seems odd that this article did not touch on the role of actors in the situation. There have been a few female actors who have come out to say they felt pressured to act in nude / sex scenes against their will. Because of this actor

I'll bite and submit mine. Las year, during lockdown, I read the Rolling Stone 100 greatest metal albums list. As I was stuck at home most of the time and had nothing better to do I decided to listen to all 100 albums and write my thou

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Seems bizarre that they recommend the second most generous instead of the most generous.

Have you not seen pigeons with a missing foot or something? I'd argue that counts as a fraction of a whole pigeon :-)

A few years ago I wrote a diceware generator at work and used it to generate my login passwords. But then they changed the complexity requirements and I couldn't use that method any more. I was most disappointed.

I had almost exactly the same situation happen. I had to produce activation codes just before Christmas. I was on my break, chilling at home when I got a text message asking if they could email me the bit of script so I could change it to r

It's a real testament to Chamberlin and Boyce that no one has been able to come up with anything better in ~45 years.

Well, to properly comply you should assume no consent by default. However, most of the dialogs these days assume opt out for the main bit but there is a separate section for Legitimate Interest and you have to manually opt out of those. Is

A tip for those on Firefox. The paywall takes a second or two to activate so I worked out that once it comes up if you hit F5 to refresh and wait for the text to appear and then immediately go into reader view you can usually beat the scrip

No need for anything super elaborate if you want to generate electricity from kids. Just shove 'em in a big hamster wheel with a large can of red bull and a bag of sweets. I mean, sure, some of them will probably die but if we carry on

Exactly this. It has been shown time and time again that the surest way to reduce population growth is through education and increased social mobility. I think we can probably agree that it is the most ethical way as well.

It occurred to me whilst reading that one possible reason that she made sure he didn't tell her anything about it could be to reassure him that his having that information was not related in any way to their relationship.

That title makes no sense whatsoever. In what way did it "rain marijuana"?

I see lots of people offering elaborate solutions to take down a swarm of drones. I may be wildly off the mark here but would it not be feasible to fly over them with a jet fighter and let the supersonic shockwave take out a lot of them? I

Apparently the killing of multiple chickens in a coop is not arbitrary / vicious. Because food is scarce in the wild, if given the opportunity they will kill as many as possible and then bury them in caches so they have food for severa

Too right. It's always frustrating if your train is 2-3 minutes late and just as you step off the train you see your connecting train leaving its platform and know you now have a 20 minute wait for the next one. The could definitely do
