The guys in the photos, they're all gangsters, I tell ya an they all sound like Jimmy Cagney.

Encarta! Took me a while but that was what I was trying to recall!

Broadly? I thinks that's a very American centric perspective. About the last system of justice I'd like to find myself at the mercy of outside those in totalitarian countries is the American one. It has earned itself an awful reputation, in Europe, at least. It's such a shame that countries like the UK appear to be behaving like client states of America.

I'm exactly on 93% too, I'm am going to clean out my Google drive which is full of stuff I could put elsewhere and will give me another few years. It's about time they increased their limit from 15GB though!

Tesco give you an effective 1% discount on some future purchases for using their clubcard at the checkout, that's provided you use the coupons they send you periodically before they expire. I prefer to do as little shopping as possible there and instead shop at the far cheaper German discounter Lidl down the road. They don't have any of that loyalty crap.

Can't imagine confusing orange with yellow. Do you know what the general consensus is on the color?

Yes I think I'm in a minority on the issue but I'm not alone!

Same reason high visibility jackets are I presume. I always think they're green but others tell me they're yellow. I have normal color vision as do at least some of the people who see them differently

I'm using them for years as a form of backup. Very reasonable priced, works flawlessly for me though I mainly use as a form of backup for a synced folder. GDPR compliant.

Lol!

Thank you! It's nice to know someone else feels that way.

I remember being called by someone to whom we'd sent a trial installation CD, this was in the days before remote desktop software. They didn't know how to insert a CD and were defensive with it Why can't you make it easy for normal people?

I think most people get it that prize is twice as likely to be behind one of the two other doors rather than behind the door you pick. So one time out of three you'll get it right while two times out of three the presenter indirectly indicates the winning door.

Edit. Be nice if my downvoter would explain what's wrong with the above.

Point taken.

You're braver than me I'm very squeamish about certain foods and would never trust them beyond their use by dates, meat, milk, butter and eggs being the main ones

Apparently you should not do that

Without the cuticle, eggs must be refrigerated to combat bacterial infection from inside. In Europe, it's illegal to wash eggs and instead, farms vaccinate chickens against salmonella. With the cuticle intact, refrigeration could cause mildew growth and contamination

Give over. The guy is focusing on the technical aspect of the story which is the reason it's on this site. Stop trying to make out that he's morally inferior to you.

You make a good point, then again many people though they understand something cannot communicate it to noobs on account of curse of knowledge issues. Afaik, Fenyman regularly refreshed himself on the basics, he felt it helped his own understanding I think, but that probably had a lot to do with what made him a great teacher as well.

Slow drivers must cause extreme road rage on that road

Imagine the American response if this recorded state sanctioned murder had happened in an Iranian embassy

USC a tax of 8% on all earnings before any deductions, such as pension contributions which is where normal income tax kicks in has been in place since the crash. It was supposed to be temporary but will probably never be repealed. That and having the highest mortgage rates in Europe in order to get the banks into profitability are how the ordinary people will be paying for this for the rest of their lives.

The well meaning extrovert person who introduces you to someone by saying, this is x, he's really shy. Anyone had that, ever? They might as well dig a hole for you.

Han Chinese immigration means that the native populations of Tibet and Xinjiang are becoming minorities in their own lands. So I don't think you are correct.

The demonstrators in Hong Kong are very aware of this technology. I hope the masks and the umbrellas they use are effective but I doubt it

I think you are suggesting that they looked across the field and picked out an existing high performing investment rather than suggesting that's it's easy to find something low volume that will do well in the future.

If you're 2 or 3 times as productive for a couple of days then you can easily afford to take a day off. How much downtime do you need before you're able to repeat the pattern?

If the inventors were from the ancient world, then to have ancestors of theirs working at Facebook is the bomb, dude!

Isn't economics one of those disciplines where the more seriously a prediction is taken the less likely it is to be accurate. If people believe a prediction they alter their behavior and as a result the prediction fails.

I live in a peripheral area of Europe and this is how we get our internet since 12 years from a co-op. Our speed is lower 10 Mb download and a lot less upload but it's good enough.

I once spent a summer working in the equivalent of a knacker's yard. The first day or two there the smell was appalling but it got to the stage where I no longer noticed it. People away from work noticed me though!
