Anecdotally, on my few visits to the US (NY and Colorado), the driving I saw was absolutely atrocious compared to Europe. People were swerving and failing to stay in their lanes on Interstates, everyone was speeding well above the limit (ev

This is not true. You can work without a NI number, you will just be given an emergency tax code. A NI number is not ID, it is a reporting number. Your card literally says, "THIS IS NOT IDENTIFICATION"

Slightly easier in the UK/EU as we don't have to keep our eggs in the fridge. Bring a pot of water to boiling, then once boiling put eggs in for 6.5 minutes, then put in cold water. Will give me perfect eggs every time that look l

Except now their call for startups are focusing on tech solutions (use LLMS to do x), instead of focusing on problems that need solving. They're now doing exactly what they've railed against, solutions in search of problems
