Both celsius and fahrenheit are completely arbitrary, just use whichever one everyone around you is using and you'll be alright. You'll internalise the scale eventually. It's the one part of the metric system that isn't

As a Brit, I completely support the US giving up imperial measures for Europeans giving up decimal commas.

There are very few imperial holdovers left in the UK, outside of colloquial use. Distance on road signs, car speed, engine fuel efficiency, beer pints (though I don't mind this since it means our average drink is larger, easier to say

No, it's not. Any stories about doing so are just dead cats.

All kids in the UK learn metric, and possibly some imperial (but only as a side thing). There are still things colloquially said in imperial, such as weight and height, but if you go to a doctor it will be in cm and kg. We're still a b

Not sure what you mean by "plus pints and stone", when they're just normal imperial measures?

Hm, do I trust a company whose entire reputation is staked on keeping my data private, and who've been audited numerous times, as well as tested in court? Or do I test my ISP, who absolutely doesn't care about my privacy and would

It's the same thing most consumer VPNs do. That 70% off discount will basically always be for a 2+ year plan as well. It's one of the main reasons I like Mullvad. One price, month-to-month, no 'discount' for paying for m

Environmental stresses are well-known to cause reproduction rates to plummet. That can be because of a lack of available food, but it can really be any sort of stress.

The problem here is that it isn't attempting to prevent harm. The whole purpose for it is that it gives the government more power over people online. Harm prevention is just a front.

I buy very, very few items of clothing. I hold on to things as long as I can. And yet, every few years, I'll still have a few garbage bags filled with clothes that I need to dispose of. It may no longer fit me, in which case it might b

I've had maybe one or two spammy text messages in the last decade. My phone number's already in many spammer's databases based on the number of spam calls I get.

You're talking as if spam via text messages is a common occurence? I've had maybe one spammy text message on Android in the last 10 years, even though most websites I use have my phone number. Spammy phone calls are constant, but

Modern phones have overcharge protection, as long as that's in tact (no reason to think it wouldn't be), it'll be completely fine. The worst that might happen is your battery capacity will degrade slightly faster than it woul

$8/month is ridiculously high for what you're doing with that. You're effectively paying over a dollar per text message?

"Quiet quitting" = doing what's expected and competently carrying out your job, but not going above-and-beyond for a company who is undoubtedly massively underpaying you. What a load of shit.

Doctors literally do recommend exercise as a first port-of-call, but that only works if you're suffering in a fairly minor way. More serious depression makes getting up and exercising impossible. When I was dealing with it, some days i

As far as I'm aware, it's been known for decades that we don't actually know what causes depression, and that whilst we know that antidepressants work, we don't know why they work.
