Spent ages in the queue and had tickets in my basket but I just couldn’t face £350 per ticket. Fuck Oasis, I don’t believe for a second that they were unaware of their own ticket prices. How can they complain against touts and scalping when that’s exactly what happened here.

25kmph and 250w, off the top of my head. You need to pedal for the motor to engage, and they count as a bicycle so no insurance needed. The twist & go bikes (no pedalling required) are basically motorbikes with pedals so they’re technically illegal but they’re still widespread. You’ll regularly see them in every city centre for food deliveries and you’ll see kids on them everywhere else.

The lack of bicycle paths is a big problem but I don’t think they’ll solve it entirely. The barrier of entry is just too low, any idiot can ride one and be oblivious to the danger as they weave in between people.

I wish there was an opposite thing we could do. Like a fundsinker that would cost him money.

Here’s an example from NASA

What about your mum? Has she condemned it yet? Why not? It’s not hard

I’ve given up on AirBnB in the last few years. When I first started, you could get great places for cheaper than hotels and it felt exciting having a house to yourself. I don’t know if the novelty has worn off or if the quality has got worse, but the last few times I’ve used it I’ve regretted it. “Check-in” is never simple. Bad directions to the place. Bad communication leading to issues trying to get the key. Stupid rules like having to put bedsheets in the wash. Reviews can’t be trusted. And it’s not even much cheaper than hotels now.

This doesn’t go for every AirBnB, I’m sure plenty are great. But a lot of times you don’t want the uncertainty.

Same. If anything, it would be in Spotify’s best interest to steer you away from broadly appealing stuff because they’re the mega artists that probably negotiated a better deal. (I’m guessing here)

And the amount of effort required to get a refund is ridiculous. Back and forth emails resulting in a cheque in the post 2 months later

What about when you need to actually use do not disturb? I have it on at night to stop my phone buzzing when my idiot morning friends message me

I’m an idiot and I put emojis in my SSID and sometimes devices don’t like that but I don’t want to change everything. So there’s a guest network with no emojis

That website was the worst thing I’ve seen for a while on mobile. Couldn’t make it past the pop ups even after a decent attempt

There’s a quote in the BBC article

But chief among her advice is to never, ever heat up the water in a microwave: “It’s less healthy and it does not taste as good,” Prof Francl says.

A supercar is like having a fast CPU. I still want it so I can go zoom zoom. Having more RAM is like having more seats in your car. Pointless most of the time but occasionally very useful.

Why can’t they make the other flavours?

Canada was included in the report. The article seems to be focussing on the amount of vacant properties, which is 8.2% for Canada and 2.7% for UK

Don’t need to imagine it, I know for a fact you nerds are missing out.

Is that on a giant nob?

Realistic advice, I like it. Makes me think of the ridiculous sort of advice you see on Reddit that nobody would ever say. “John, I respect you as a friend but your attitude towards women is misogynistic and unacceptable. I know you are better than this and you can improve your behaviour”. Fucking nerds roleplaying on the internet.

I had a friend who kept saying f****t. I don’t think he had anything against gays, he just carried on with the early 2000s usage of the word. I would say “Oi! No F bombs!” And he’d apologise. After a couple I’d just say “oi”. It worked eventually, no need for a big intervention or a serious sitdown. Just “Oi”.

Probably just UK

If the majority of music students work at Tesco but a small minority become The Beatles, I’d say its a well-performing degree. Culture isn’t about ruthless efficiency.
