Not sure I fully agree - sometimes maybe, but I think in the majority of cases it's used when people feel they dont need to explain exactly what they mean because it should already be obvious to most people. Example. "Always look

Does this extend to restraunts that now sneakily adding service charge onto a bill by default in order to prey on customers feelings of awkwardness? I always find that one stings and really irks me

How do you mean? How does youtubing a lecture differ from sitting in the lecture hall itself for example? I'd argue both arent great learning experiences, but lectures seem to be viable enough to make up the bulk of contact time at uni

Thats not really a fair comparison. Youve compared an entire industry to one entity within an industry. Id be interested to see what the numbers would be if you shutdown all commercial UK airports for a day. Still smaller I'd imagine,

"An erotic dream bringing the sleeper to orgasm" - this was what I was confused about.

by marliechiller 2y ago
did you mean to say "wet"-dreaming in this context? Seems an odd addition to simply "dreaming"

Interesting - does this also manage my app window placement like a tiling window manager? I personally hate having to organise windows rather than just have them fill half my screen without thinking

Id be very interested to break that data down by age. I'd hypothesise people who grew up during the dawn of social media (late 00s, early 2010s), will be strongly aligned with whatsapp whereas younger generations might be more iMessage

Tonsils are a good example of this. New studies are finding that they may be part of the immune system. Anecdotally, I had mine removed as a child due to frequent tonsilitis. As an adult, I suffer from a number of airborne allergies. Most l

If you have to charge overnight, you miss out on all the benefits of sleep tracking which personally, has been essential in managing recovery and also illness

Id wager we could do the same with the word "quarter". Whats your point exactly?

It actually has the same origin as the parent poster of your comment: Late Old English mægester "a man having control or authority over a place; a teacher or tutor of children," from Latin magister (n.) "chief, head, director

The thing is, most non-Americans dont connect master with slavery at all. In the same way we wouldnt connect cotton with slavery. It was a term used within the context of slavery, but wasnt created _for_ slavery. In fact, it long predates a

ZZ is less key presses - :wq is [shift;wq], the keys of which are spread all over the keyboard vs [shiftzz] which is much less traversing, quicker and can be done with little and ring finger with no physical trouble
