Much nicer animation, to my eyes. If I could buy a nicely built physical clock with this display I would. Tempted to look into making one myself.. but suspect I may not get around to it.

No need to be sarcastic when pointing out a spelling mistake. Personally I wish we'd gained chalant as well as nonchalant from French, it would be a nice addition to English I think.

Only to an extent, ask anyone who's actually worked setting odds for a major bookies (not an area I'm massively familiar with but I've given odds makers the info they used to create prices for markets a few times) and they&#x

You're right in theory, and for sure I wouldn't be shocked if the polls nail this one, but I also wouldn't be shocked if we saw that even without fptp and constituencies there's still enough of a problem with the quality

Sure, after last year we definitely don't want to be too eager to assume that pollsters know what's coming in the UK, and if they fail as spectacularly as in the GE then certainly the bookies may prove to have been more accurate,

No, it's not. The 'boot' in 'freebooting' comes from the Dutch word 'buit' which means 'booty', the 'boot' in 'bootlegging' comes from boots you wear on your feet (in the leg

Maybe I'm just not being sensitive enough, but I don't read my previous comment as being an "attack", nor even rude (maybe a little blunt). I was (attempting to) point out that a policy such as "don't downvote

Fair point, but from the way Sam wrote it up it sounds like he ignored them and let it get far enough that they filed a suit against him, whereas if his plan was to be something they can get rid of quickly before the merger he surely would

At the risk of being a pedant, people don't need education either, it's just a very effective way of improving their quality of life. In particular, further education (after high school) - including community college - definitel

Given he didn't take the offer of a sum to make it go away and instead let it drag longer in a way which affects the merger, either that wasn't his logic, or he executed it poorly.

Breathalyzing is binary but "being too drunk to drive safely" isn't, they just made testing binary for the law's sake. It's possible to be under the limit for a test yet still have enough alcohol in you to slightly

Burgeoning only means it's starting to grow fast, it doesn't mean it can't have been well-established already as well.

There are 7.2k days in 20 years, and each day's paper has plenty of space for guest columnists/etc. so seems could even be easy enough to hit 12k even without CIF content.

"In a row" wouldn't normally be used with units of time like that, it implies something happening each time (in this case the 7+ hours of sleep, happening each night)

The information about Cameron's father pretty much came out already 4 years ago (already after his father was dead), so not like this personal link hurts Cameron a lot more with the current list of names.

Have you come across anyone who blames the Minions brand rather than Google? Google should have executed better or not at all, Minions just got free publicity with no fault attached to them.

I'm an atheist, and I have many criticisms of many religions, but imposing dietry restrictions on those who wish to follow them isn't one of them. I'd also suggest that being constructively critical in a debate is fine, posti
