I have never heard of a Guiness Float before, but seeing as I like both Guiness and Coke Floats... I want to try it as soon as I stop my short-term keto diet! What's it like?

I disagree (and for the record, not because I want to have sex with someone that age.) A 13 year old can be just as mature and smart as someone 18+, the reason the law exists is because it isn't the case nearly all of the time, and t

Depends on the industry, I see lots of management/marketing/bizdev job postings which just say something along the lines of "competitive salary offered", including roles where you'd guess the salary might be £20k or

I've also seen Cortana-based video adverts, though I don't recall if they were on TV or online (also UK). They were really quite poor, didn't do anything to differentiate and just came across as a "we have Siri too!&quot

Keep in mind that some of the additional tax would be funded by the basic income received by the rich (i.e. some people would get the $10k and then pay back $10k more in tax than they would have before, thus not gaining or losing - and of c

Actually nowhere near enough research has been done to understand what, if any, long-term damage frequent MDMA use can cause. In the very short-term it is quite neurotoxic, and consuming too much can cause immediate problems. It looks like

They won't neccesarily physically force a test on you if you don't consent, so it's not that you can't consent it's that not consenting could be a legal offense that's as bad as consenting and getting a bad res

The powerup can equally be used for "more speed" or "less energy", just because you prefer the first it doesn't mean others shouldn't opt for the second.

Without having the numbers or doing the maths, I'd guess that if you include the odds of another person or people also winning the EV would drop below 100% return.

When you eat out at restaurants regularly and without needing to constantly think about value for money - which isn't the same as to say always eating at places like the Ivy - it's easy to stereotype based on your experiences, and

Sounds like a great solution until you think it through and realise it would just skew politics even further in favour of the wealthy, not necessarily the towards the informed. In some small cases of the population it would work - for examp

I'd assume that rather than saying it's a good thing he's just accusing the US (and friends of the US) of being hypocritical. A tired and fairly pointless thing to say, but not as bad as saying that a nuclear-armed NK is a go
