I think the lack of bins in UK stations is for a similar reason (IRA bombings during the Troubles).

One of the things that stood out to me last time I visited Japan was how much packaging everything has, and how few bins there are around. It is cool that there's one community that values not letting things to go waste and the story i

Yes but there's still a tradeoff, there's no such thing as an airline that takes no risks.

Every single flight represents dozens of risks that an airline has calculated and decided are worth taking.

Just make sure you're emptying it into a bin that doesn't smell too badly :D

Yeah I just wash it with hot water. If I'm using it in the afternoon having made a morning coffee a few hours before, I'll just use my fingers. In the evening I'll clean it a bit more carefully, with a sponge or whatever I ha

We have the same process but I add a bit more coffee so that there's a little "mound" in the middle, heat it low&slow and after the coffee starts to come out I'll sometimes pour my cup when it's about 3/4 d

Even there they try to downplay it, to be honest: > ... when we wrote about the concerns of Wakefield This really undersells the situation, it suggests he was just a concerned doctor who innocently pursued a theory that turned out to be

Private Eye is a publication that Ian Hislop from Have I Got News For You edits. It's often quite funny, it tends to hold government, corporations and public figures to account much better than most newspapers. It's generally pret

I was just reading the other day that some MP was calling for those who were affected to have their names cleared. It's fucking astounding that this hasn't been a priority until the recent TV series on it has come out.

It helps that in areas where there's a high concentration of trains on the go they just put a single pin that says "N trains" - the ones that have one pin for every train are a bit busy and can be sluggish

Ahh ok this sounds like a thing that’s OK in the USA but not EU :-/ NOTE: instead of downvoting as a knee-jerk defense of USA, just reflect on whether you'd benefit from some slightly better consumer protection laws.

I'd say it's more than suspect, what's the point of agreeing to a terms of service if they can change after you agree to them?

You're talking like they're acting out based on some unrelated or irrelevant thing - as if they're taking a stand against Elon Musk's stance on trans people or his rather unique ideas about what "free speech" i

Doesn't sound like the guy Will Rogers made that decision though. It sounds like he just blindly trusted his instruments, knowing he could act with impunity. He was right - after all is said and done he killed 290 innocent people and h

“It” wasn’t pointed out at all in the original post. Just “look on the far left” with no indication of what. I’m not convinced this 3/E means anything. If they’re making HL3 or HL2:Ep3 then we’ll find out soon enough. Many people have

Goldeneye was developed by Rare, who had been in existence for 10 years by the time Goldeneye was released. I'd be really surprised if they had landed the rights to a big IP and then turned a bunch of newbies loose on it.

Unless GP would care to point out what you're supposed to be looking for, I think you're being trolled into poring over the image looking for something that isn't there.
