Just as they say they do not want Sharia law in the UK, we should not support the spread of other extremist religious laws
In the first place? We kinda did to begin with, you would phone the operator and say the name of who you wanted to phone.
Introducing phone numbers simplified this, given the operator would have to know or lookup their name, and allowed for the future introduction of automated systems. Such systems were analogue and DNS was far more advanced than them. I guess the telephone becomes so widely used and integrated under that system that it still uses a similar interface today, albeit with a cluster of different modernised interconnected backends
The UK and US have pretty balanced trading, both reprting surpluses. Isn't that the real reason? Tariffs would be really stupid here
Do Americans really have a right to bear arms? It's technically legal, but if police can murder you and get away with it when they catch you with a gun, that sounds like the consequences are a possible defacto death sentence.
They only sometimes murder you for it. But there's plenty laws where I'm from that are only sometimes enforced when the police catch you, and not by death.
Ah, but what if he simply gets rid of democratic elections, then he needn't worry about the issue of being elected more than twice
If it's an issue, then the organisers shouldn't let kids in, otherwise it's at the parent's discretion, not yours
Yeah, sure, just as easily as people switched from saying "Twitter" to saying "X"
To avoid sea ice, they entered an area they are legally allowed to enter... okay
In British supermarkets, they often don't even put the beans on shelves. Instead they have stacked palettes of them, because they need to restock so often it'd be inefficient to have to unpack and shelve them.
Are you American though? Here in the UK, nobody really owns a plunger and they don't need to, the plumbing is different, it doesn't clog. Do need to own a toilet brush though, to wipe off the skidmarks, which is more rare in the US.
Those names were chosen because they stereotypically fit these people, like Karen does a Karen. But popular names and connotations change over time. I feel like Stacy is a name befitting of an older person now than originally intended for the memes. I wonder if we're going to collectively keep these names locked in time, or rename them ever
No chance I'm getting a username this simple on most platforms
I'm having fun ☹️
These Øs make it read like the subtitles to the intro for Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Making grey 0, black the highest and intense red the lowest above 0 is a weird palette choice
Not a car, but I've got a bicycle light that does this. Turns on when it's dark and also when you brake. So definitely possible
Haha, most people here do tech it seems. Well, me too.
People seem to think I'd be good at maths and my entire job is like maths. I'm not and I don't view it that way. There's a lot of problem solving and engineering, but I find it very creative and expressive
I always see comments like these online, but they seem kind of absurd to me, coming from a country where it's not only totally common to walk dogs off-leash, but completely legal. There's really very few incidents of dogs darting into the streets here, and actually half the ones I've ever seen have been dogs on a lead anyway. A well trained dog doesn't do that.
