For someone complaining about the lack of nuance between too black or white you sure are being binary abour this. If someone says a mildly sexist remark, sure - grey area, could be a mistake or it could be they're a dick. But if someon

As someone that grew up in York I was surprised to not see any mentions of buildings from there. There's quite a lot of buildings from around 1500 but most current day pubs seem to be in buildings that started at houses or commercial p

As an owner of a reptile this study has another angle for me. The insects tested are all classic reptile food and aside from some creatures being illegal to import or breed the production and selling of edible insects for animals seems pret

Also if you have a Dangerous Dog signand your dog does then injure someone it's clear you knew the dog could cause damage. There was the case recently, Jacqueline Durand, who went to dog sit, opened the door and got attacked by 2 pitbu

I grew up with 2 labradors that were huge attention seekers. One worked out how to open the back gate and if he escaped he knew we'd find him in a certain retired neighbours garden getting strokes and biscuits. That said, one time some

I've the same about the Netherlands. Everyone knows it's a country with huge bicycle ownership and use, then later people discover it also has huge bicycle theft. From talking to people that have lived there, anecdotally all the t

Giving a reason will give the person a point to dispute. I used to work in customer service dealing with applications to join a membership website. Without fail if I told the person the reason they were declined they would argue against it

I like to listen to doom/stoner metal because it's not too distracting and usually minimal lyrics. Sleep, Slugdge, Bongripper, Elder, Electric Wizard etc. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DXdpVGstUks

Where's that video of the guy's dash cam showing what full autonomous driving in a Tesla is currently like, the one where it keeps trying to drive him head first in to other vehicles. I'm hoping this is just intended for on-c

Video games used to have this problem really bad as well as so much overuse of bloom. There was a few years where every big budget game looked like it had a brown filter on the screen. People have speculated it was used to much to try and h

It's not just that the courts are bogged down meaning people can take advantage of the slow eviction process. A lot of places have a growing housing crisis, Barcelona especially, meaning there's a lot of people struggling to affor

For all the upsides of working remotely and especially for 100% remote I think the downside is it can become very transactional. Write code for x hours, the clock ticks to 6pm and you leave to do something else. I'm not saying everyone

I'm about 12 months away from leaving London, Leeds is the goal. It has a decent enough tech economy that I should be able to find an equivalent job for little to no pay cut and cost of housing/living is significantly lower. It&#x

I agree, it's easy to hate on the current system and I think the ads are getting way too similar to the real results now. But all those websites that have a massive list of names/place at the bottom just to come higher up the sear

If it's the nuclear apocalypse then just accept your fate. A bunker will just prolong the pain. However if it's something like a global pandemic and you don't want to encounter any other people for a while, then I'd much
