Why would this disincentivise asking for a raise?

I'm interested in your personal experience with r/uk vs r/ukpolitics. I've stopped reading either as to me it seemed that they both had a pretty strong auth-left bias. I felt this was more pronounced in r/uk - to th

This is hilarious. The US has a more painful past than Germany or France? That’s some pretty strange American exceptionalism.

I mean, what is the alternative? We spend the rest of our lives hiding in our houses? He is right - at some point we will collectively decide COVID is a risk worth running to actually live life. And it might be that it does make day-to-day

That’s completely untrue - The design of crumple and impact zones like the hood, bumpers and headlights absolutely do help pedestrians. There is a suite of Road safety tests designed to specifically evaluate exactly that: https:/&#x2F

Your second point is also untrue. The shape and structure of traditional car crumple zones and impact areas like the hood and headlights have a significant impact on pedestrian survivability: https://www.researchgate.net/pub

Ideally in the moose test the moose and car never make contact. It is a test of the car's ability to safely support extreme evasive manoeuvres, rather than its crash survivability. Tall SUVs typically fare worse at this because of thei

Electric vehicles often have much better safety credentials than their ICE powered counterparts for a few reasons: * All of the weight is in the bottom of the vehicle, giving a lower centre of gravity. I'd bet this will kill the old F1

Correct - the homebuyers report on my house cost £300.

by bb123 5y ago
Thats true, but you really can't have it both ways. You either want a professional opinion on the quality of the house or you're willing to run the risk. Anyway, the banks aren't doing inspections for the benefit of the buyer

Thats just nonsense. There absolutely is a requirement to disclose known faults with the property, and if a survey (which every buyer does) shows up something serious, there is a legal requirement to disclose it to all parties. Also most ba

I’d be pretty careful drawing any conclusions about the mood of the nation from Twitter. The Twitter crowd are very loud and quite extremist but I believe they are small in number. To be honest I’d just avoid Twitter all together. Nothing g

God this story is so over-represented on the Internet. There must be other interesting mysteries and stories from this period in Soviet history, surely?

Why not just tax gas? It’s the perfect solution. The more you drive, the more you pay. The more polluting your car, the more you pay. Long term it seems inevitable that tax will need to move onto the electricity used to charge cars.

Sure, many of us can do stuff like that, but the average user can't.

How is installing an executable on my machine and then entering my financial info any less sketchy than entering my data into a website? The average user would still have to take it on faith that the data isn't going anywhere, and as a

It is almost difficult to describe someone who hasn’t seen it how powerful tides in the UK can be. Where I live the tidal range is over 12m from low to high tide and flows like a massive fast-moving river at peak times. It can easily overpo

This is a great post let down by the need to inject some lame shots at the Tories. A quick Google search shows that smart motorways first came about under a Labour government, and were extended several times during their tenure.

Yeah this is exactly the situation I find myself in. I regret the ethical and environmental consequences of eating meat, but I found it very hard to replace it completely and still have a balanced diet.

Not meant as joke. I'm aware that there are lots of good reasons for not eating beef, I was wondering if prion exposure risk is one of them, as the meat/no-meat argument is one I try to revaluate regularly as new info comes to lig

Does your second point suggest that we should avoid eating beef?

It’s worth noting that the article describes how syphilis is common in high risk groups engaging in high risk activities in a high risk part of the country, rather than the general population at large. However it seems inevitable that it wi

What would stop Adobe selling the unpaid amount as a bad debt to a collections agency in this case? I have been hounded by debt collectors for far smaller amounts that slipped through the net.

Hey if someone said by the time I’m 40 I wouldn’t have to live in fear of peanuts anymore, I’d pay whatever they asked.

Some of it will depend on your country of origin/citizenship as this can either make it much easier or much harder to get a visa. Some countries have bilateral agreements to enable skilled workers to move between them. You should inves

This is so incredibly sad, and I feel so helpless that this is slipping through our fingers. I fear I’ll never get a chance to see a coral reef in real life, and it looks almost certain that my children won’t. Is there anything we can do as
