BWS is actually an Australian liquor store brand. Beer-Wine-Spirits. Memorable enough once you get used to it as well.

I mean, it's literally the replacement population. 2 parents die, 2 children remain.

Umm, have you lived in any non-car dominated city/country? Multimodal public transport is a thing.

Have you tried running the Vscode + Linux Subsystem + Docker on Windows stack? It's been pretty good so far (a good writeup on this is at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/setting-up-docker-for-windows...)

It's already a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJT2h5uGAC0

Then don't call yourselves anti-GMO?

Melbourne isn't just the CBD, though.

> They are free

In the free tram zone, sure, which is an area of less than 2 by 3 km. The longest tram route is 23 km long.

Why is tech infested with know-it-all libertarians? Honestly, do you think we'd all be better off in a lawless anarchy?

That's horseshit. Granted, peak hour trains from Flinders are packed and using a laptop is a bit difficult since your elbows keep bumping into the next person sitting, but not being able to use a phone? People are always on their phones, reading, or knitting.

As someone who lives in Melbourne (and usually just uses a bicycle to commute), buses suck. They don't follow timetables, get noticeably slower during peak hours and get faster during school holidays. The reason people avoid using them is that they're unreliable. If I occasionally use the bus to get to/from work the trip can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 45.

English is a huge advantage. I don't see the rest of the world clamouring to learn Mandarin any time soon. It's a benefit, sure, but not a necessity.

Just an FYI, the site is blocked under Sophos.

I guess it really depends on the actual location. The one I went to in Iwate was awesome, not multi-storey but a one-floor, jungle-like layout. Very good food section, bought a rug, travel neckpillow, and some crockery, I'm still using them now after months.

> And they come anytime they please, since all locations stay open 24/7

Not quite right, they do open till very late but the one I've been to (in Iwate) closed at around 3 am.

Not necessarily. While Ulaanbaatar does have street numbers and such, they're not well-known and are basically never used when giving out directions/advertising. It's more like: The "yellow building to the right side of the big department store". Official addresses also rarely use street names, it's more like: Flat #5, Apartment #2, Microdistrict #4, Sukhbaatar District.

So in reality everyone just uses Post Office Boxes for mail, who often just call you and say mail's arrived and charge 400 tugrug.

That said, no-one I know has even heard about what3words, aside from those who read the initial press release. And I'm from Mongolia.
