Just say "no"? It is your house, your child, you are the person with all the decision making power here. I simply do not accept you cannot stop it if you want to. So i guess my question is "why is trying to manage the fallou

I still use pidgin for my "eve online chats" and it continues to do all the things I need pretty effectively. I've had a couple of slacks and a couple of discords over the years and they really haven't improved on many

I can't find the words to describe how that version made me feel. Like always on the edge of taking a breath? The tempo change is weirdly affecting. I certainly like it less, but it is very very clever. Thank you for sharing :)

Old top gear put a formula something car on the test track, and it was insane how the car moved compared to everything else i'd seen travelling "fast" on the same camera angles.

The difference between 90 seconds to fill up and 3 minutes to fill up is negligible. The appetite for improvement isn't there because the marginal is small. The difference between 3 minutes and 20 minutes is still enormous . Pretendi

I feel like there are a couple of obvious problems that exist: - Knowing that such a person exists - Knowing that the fix is simple - Knowing that they will have time to look at a thing quickly I'm a person who will answer any questi

I think the key point here is that all global companies structure their tax in the most efficient fashion possible. They pay a bunch of money (millions) to save far more in tax globally. Forget morality. They are behaving optimally for t

Defined Benefit pension schemes were a terrible idea that only made sense when you assume the risk free rate will always be 10%. Something more like the Australian model would be good, there are improvements that should be made, but in the

The only answer I've ever got for "why" is " I don't email specs out without a preliminary chat, because fake profiles can lead to specs being stolen and used to take clients ". I can accept it's a thing t

I have always found recruiters incredibly reluctant to pass on any useful job info/specs without a gating phone call. I dont actively want a new job, so the conversations always stall on "when are you free for a call".

I assume GP is referring to people who arent actively working out, but floating around the gym mostly playing on their phones, checking social. As though time spent in the gym was the point rather than the exercise itself.

Can you cite some examples of people being prosecuted for saying things on twitter that aren't, you know, bomb threats or holocaust denial etc.

Half the reason we are in this mess is because politicians are too stupid to properly discuss this without resorting to straw men and personal attacks. Free movement is not without consequence, address it honestly, attempt to solve real iss

As a fan I would not want to read anything the author felt was unfinished. Worse, in Pratchetts case, I hate the idea that he would have stopped writing out of fear that part finished things would be released after he died.

Seeing a single result just above threshold leads a person to believe it's a match. Seeing the 200 people within a few points of the threshold might lead someone to think it was actually completely indeterminate with a large number of
