I suspect you're confusing money and cash - they're two distinct things. I would be incredibly to learn that my bank had anywhere near the amount of cash stored compared to the amount of money deposited there. Cash has storage cos

If you're writing translation code then you're (probably) doing it wrong. If your clients are happy to only ever have a product in one language which will never have to deal with anything outside the 7bit ascii range then ignoring

Think about how often the english documentation coming with cheap products from china is mocked - do you really want your professional output to be treated in the same regard?

Council tax on the most expensive property (band H) in kensington and chelsea is £2,246.14 in 2018/2019. Westminster would be £1421.00. Council tax for my band C property in south gloucester was around £1700, with the highest (band H)

To address the last point - if your neighbour can't afford to move because the rent is too high elsewhere then under a non-rent controlled system would the landlord not have raised her rent to a point she would be unable to pay it and

The 50m is a slightly misleading point (it includes everyone too young to vote, whatever their viewpoint) but there's a much stronger case to take into account the perspective of the 16m people who voted against this car crash. To decl

If you talk to _your_ lawyer about your issue the lawyer can't go and tell anyone else, nor can that discussion be raised as part of a legal process against you. Not the case if you post it to a public forum.

Is posting on a public forum to request legal advice from people with no protection whatsoever really considered a good idea? I suspect that the fact there's a twitter account[1] collecting the weird and wonderful posts from there does

Huh, today I learnt. I was curious so I looked at the identifiable image[1] in the article in google maps[2] and it seems that only some of the crossings have these notes - notably the one way street crossing has look left/right on the

I'm guessing this is on a one way road? With traffic driving on the left you'd normally want to look right to check you're not stepping into oncoming traffic (although you should probably check both ways on a normal zebra cr

I've said it here before, but these services are a lifesaver for some. It might seem lazy to someone in full health, but sometimes those small things make all the difference.

In some cases offering money _is_ the best way to offer support. When goods are donated they're often not what's actually needed, or not in the proportions required. Planet Money covered this in an episode: https://www.

As someone who has actually interacted with leave voters it most certainly didn't mean that for everyone. Taking such an extreme position and then claiming that it's what the people voted for is farcical.

I'm certainly guilty of getting partway through books and never returning, but I don't know that if I'd jumped into the data first I would have been so engrossed. (Obviously this is entirely a personal perspective.)
