Love me some British shrub politics. The only socially respectable response for someone invading your property is a bit of tutting whenever they’re nearby.
Also the “public right-of-way” in this country is incredible.
Not using metric is so much more fun:
Makes your maths so much more exciting!!
This is a great scale. Let’s solve all the arguments about temperature and instead just create a “pleasantness scale”. Could probably even market this and sell a “personalised pleasantness scale” and you pass it out to your friends when you meet them.
I mean, the temperature 0 was assigned because it was the lowest temperature that winter in Fahrenheit’s town, and the “powers of two” was only chosen because it was simple to mark degree lines on his instrument. Feels quite arbitrary to me…
“can’t [yet] be blocked” This is the claim of every new advertiser platform. Looking forward to it being blocked (and not because I’m on X, just because I’m excited to see them burn).
From my experience, this is not the case. Layoffs in the US (especially those in tech) are quite secret and quite sudden, which means the decision of whom to lay off is typically done at a sufficiently high level where they’re generally clueless about individual performance.
