My very optimistic explanation would be that "The manager had had other valued, single, female customers sit at the bar - and they'd been propositioned by men...and he was trying to protect.." Oh I'm not even buying this

Nicotine salt versions of "vape juice" have been available for ages - unsure how Juul have managed to patent this (possibly when used in a cartridge system with a juul brand on it). If you consider vaping to be a smoking cessation

Pssh - China just blocks stuff they don't like. Nice and simple. In the UK we've had stuff we don't like blocked, we've had mandatory tracking by your ISP, and now you have to register to watch porn...

In (the UK at least) your medical notes follow you as you sign on with a new GP (General Practitioner - first point of medical contact for anything non-urgent). Now knew this theoretically happened, but was quite bemused to see it happen in

I'd agree with the OP - I'd never thought about it like that before. My addition to the theory would be that left & right look identify the issue from different perspectives. e.g. You can look at the planet as whole today, an

What's tech's obsession with the bay area? It's lovely, I've visited - and then left. I can see why companies would thrive in an area with this excellent skill-pool - but I'd have thought they'd all want to get

I think that pretty much sums it up. "Horses for courses" - or "There's no one perfect device, nor should there be" Occasionally something disruptive comes along, and maybe a few users split across the gap - but doe

Hold on, I'm a lefty - and don't particularly like that brush you're tarring me with. Now before we go on, I do agree with some of your points. The results we observe are driven by many factors and individual choice is one of

I'd agree - Apple handling payments/fraud/refunds and all the rest has value. Where they don't have a value proposition is with the larger providers of content. People turning up and wanting to buy your product (and not

I (not quite sub-consciously) ensure I always leave some bananas to get to that 'black, but not crushed' state - solely to make milkshakes from. I give myself a pass on the calories, as I'm "being green and eating my 5-a

I'd worry working anywhere where being "conscientious" isn't appreciated. From another thread I've got it stuck in my head that there is "broccoli" and "ice cream" work - and yes, if everybody co

That's a metaphor that I know is now stuck permanently. My only addition would be that this is your broccoli and ice-cream. I'm eternally mystified as to what some of my colleagues like. Maybe the greatest benefit of agile I fou

Always seemed a strange business model. Appealing to people who "want to cook", but doing so by turning yourself into a production-line assembler. Like saying your want to learn carpentry, by buying some Ikea flat-pack. What confu

To be fair, it's not just you and your Apple. My employer pays for my phone contract - so normally every 2 years I select the shiniest thing, dripping in features. This year.. no, just switched to a cheaper monthly contract as it felt

Apple publicly said they aren't going to release sales numbers going forward (take a guess why). To retain revenue they just need to get more out of each sale - and that's ensuring somebody who comes in for an upgrade pays more th
