Oof, you chose the wrong place to ask that question ;) Or maybe the right place. I won't pile on to the endless list of examples you asked for, but I'd like to say that this statement: > My experience is that someone books an o

Slack is at once a poor communication product, and a beacon of excellence in comparison to MS Teams. It says much that I'd rather use Slack than MS Teams. The bar was low, but by god did they limbo under it somehow. Basic UX like it be

Really? I've never done that, and I've bought several televisions.

One of them actually said to me: "Are you refusing my right to inspect your home for a T.V.?" — notice the wording. I slammed the door in his face as he was saying "You'll be prosecuted!". Remember, if someone like

Here are several points to consider: - Presuming "no right to swim in the sea" as a given, the point remains that "don't be an evil cuntbag" also isn't a law. If we had to pedantically write every single undesi

"Oddball customisation" is a bit rich, no? A backslash is the way things are escaped in most places. Why re-invent the wheel? And why would you "highly prefer you just emit standard CSV"? What is the benefit to insisting

Perhaps naive, but we escape with \ everywhere else, so why not here? If you're typing in CSV manually, escape with \ If you're exporting to CSV, the program already know which part is data and which part is the next cell, so agai

I wasn't that extreme, but did move around a fair bit in England. Never bothered telling any government offices because I figured if they were so inept as to not account for this, they'd also be so inept as to never catch me. I wa

I generally don't drive anywhere that's under 15Km away, but there are exceptions. Taking the family to certain places just isn't feasible by bike sometimes.

I get the point, but it's watered down by your example which isn't true. I'm happily using a PlayStation controller on everything _except_ a PlayStation.

These are being targeted too, at least in the Netherlands. They were given a free ride for a while (pun very much intended) but now trade vans are also coming under the hammer.

Exactly this. Obviously I still need a car, but my day-to-day transport of choice is the bicycle. I will say this though: You people can't drive! I've seen more car accidents in my few years here than my entire _life_ in England!

This is likely an age thing. I suspect you're without a family? I think what he's getting at is that we cycle everywhere, except when we can't, which matches my experience.

I know they've spent millions on car reduction schemes, but it's mostly wasted money. If you want people to see cycling as a viable alternative, then make it a viable alternative. I used to live in London, and now live somewhere w

The EU shouldn't even bother reacting to this. Just wait out the clock, and start fining day by day for non-compliance. We'll see how many attempts it takes them then.

I've noticed this is very much the case when working with Americans. There's a real weird vibe where dominance needs to be proven at every turn. Some European cultures have this a little too, but not to the extent it's eviden

I didn't buy an iPhone because of the "security" that the restrictions give me, and I suspect few others who jumped ship from Android to iPhone did either. I switched because the iPhone does what I need it to do, and then get
