Out of interest, what do you do and where are you based? It's a shitty place to work, but if you're near an Amazon office and you do Amazony things I'm happy to send a reference your way.

It does, if you want an alcoholic drink, or want to be around other people drinking. The vibe is very different between the two.

I know that we Europeans love to shit on America, but this is something I am truly jealous of.

Due to the drinking culture here in the UK, diners aren't really a thing. Sometimes I would love to go out late at night and have a coffee or a cheap bite to eat while chatting to someone, but you're basically limited to restaurants or bars. You don't even really see coffee shops open past 6pm, which is a real shame.

If there were an easy way to do this, almost totally anonymously, so that Amazon cannot shut it down, and so someone can see that it is a legit attempt to unionize, I would love to see it.

There's plenty of "talk" about it, but there's a lot of fear of retaliation in doing so.

I mean, killing prisoners is cruel and unusual in a civilised society.

Here in the UK you can't buy more than two packs at a given time...

Pretty much every media outlet across the world.

The opposing party in the UK is electing leaders, and they've all been asked what they think of him. Like it or not, but in turning one of the biggest multi-billion dollar social media platforms into a small million dollar right-wing platform for crypto bots, he's now got a lot of influence on politics across the world.

What makes it funnier is that he probably doesn't give a fuck about the Tories in the UK, but if Trump loses he'll own a right-wing platform with zero influence on what he cares about.

Here's an idea.

In the UK we have a presenter called Alex Jones, and she's absolutely lovely. She is a host on a show called The One Show, which is basically a topical light-hearted show that jumps from one thing to the next at hilarious speed (think heartwarming story about puppies to a sad story about someone dying or ovarian cancer in the space of a few seconds, while their guest immediately wipes the smile from their face).

Keep Infowars running, but replace the Alex Jones and turn Infowars into a family friendly topical show that brightens everyone's day. Let it succeed, and have him succeeded by the (Good) Alex Jones.

It surprises me a little, because on some instances there seems to be a lot of power users/tech influencer types, but not a lot of engagement between smaller accounts. Active users is around 1 in 12, which is again higher than expected, so maybe it's just me/Hackyderm?

My very first lessons were around just this, getting used to the bite point where the clutch needs to be to roll forward, and where you start to apply the accelerator. We practiced a few times on different levels of road, and within maybe 1-2 lessons it was fine.

With that said, I can see it being much harder if you're already experienced or have passed a test, as it is a new skill to learn. It's a bit like riding a bike in that aspect, I guess.

I hated learning how to drive, and only really started to tolerate it once I got a new driving teacher. I actually like driving now, mostly because it's one of the few times where I can turn my brain off while not being unfocused.

With that said...I have no idea why Americans (not assuming OP is American, but know it's rare over there) have such an issue with manual cars. My family has both manual and automatic, and I prefer manual because it's much easier to have control. It has never, ever been a distraction for me.

As you can probably tell, I'm a big fan of Enders Game. The movie, though, was absolutely devastating. It's the only time I left a cinema angry.

The Tiny Desk series is so great, and they've found a great mix of established and small acts. I'll be forever grateful to it for introducing me to Hobo Johnson.

No, they shouldn't make $15 an hour. They should make whatever is needed to sustain themselves and a family, including a pension and any healthcar costs. That's probably well over $15 an hour.

I lick mine for several weeks until I get to the centre.

Add "linux" to that list and your front page will be empty.

Twitter isn't a top company any more.

My mind won't be the only thing going down the gutter now.

I had this argument a little while ago, and someone mentioned that this was answered somewhere in ST lore, but will ask here.

When you are teleported to another place, are you killed and essentially "remade" in the place you're teleporting to, or is there a confirmation that the entity teleported from A to B is the same person.

(Sorry to be all deep on a cat pic, but this convo came to mind and I can't ignore it now)

It has essentially killed Harvest Moon as the established farm simulator for relaxed gaming.

If you know someone that loves games, but hates fighting or quick skill-based stuff, they will lose hundreds of hours to this game.
