I believe THC is still illegal in France. So it's mostly convenience - a certain base of weed users don't want to buy from dealers, or want the security of a well produced product - an illicitly produced THC vape can be dangerous

For one, not to mix it with vinegar. Chlorine gas. There was a spate of TikTok's recommending mixing them for cleaning purposes. To the horror of many.

Nearly all A&E (ER) rooms are managed by the NHS. Private ones are few and far between so it’s likely that a tourist with insurance will end up in a standard A&E - which can have very long wait times[1]. The NHS is also using privat

This is it for me, I used Apple Music for a few years and eventually I noticed that some of my playlists would have tracks missing - sometimes a listing would be ghosted, sometimes it would straight up vanish. I called time, brought a A50 a

It would be remiss not to mention Gold makes incredible jewellery. And jewellery - or the act of decorating ourselves to distinguish between one another - is an innate part of all our cultures. An item can last longer than a lifetime, be pa

Agreed. I should have said ‘understand’. My point being that applying rules learnt from hundreds of years of literary culture and printing do not 1:1 translate into digital. Justified copy is as much about saving paper as it is about any fo

This feels a little nitpicky to me - as a short hand for language and currency flags are commonplace. But I understand the thinking: "a language is nothing but a dialect with a flag" The alternative is to use ISO (En, De, Es) in b

Yourself and Gwern both need to learn how typography works before you declare yourselves arbiters of digital design. On the plus side, your site is friendly in reader view. • Never justify text in digital • Never right align long form in di

I think they are implying OP has used weed as a crutch and accidentally obscured a real condition. A bit like using painkillers to avoid having knee surgery. A crutch, not a solution.

People I know who’ve done it: • getting a drink (alcohol) is a major pain. Either underground, or some elite venue where rules don’t apply - and the jeopardy that goes with that. Really want to spill wine on a Prince? And there are a lot of

There's a phrase in Europe. "Old money dies hard" And money in Europe is old, and hard fought for. We still have rich people who's families made their fortune in the 11th Century. Money in the US is new. And easily lost.

Totally. Who is going to pay a studio to develop the models, artwork and code required to have a ‘NFT skin’ in a game? Money is made by selling a skin multiple times to return effort. And what if I want that skin in League, rather than GTA?

My experience is they do indeed dig into your credit report and will approve/deny based on it. Not sure where your information to the contrary comes from? https://www.which.co.uk/money/mortgages-and-property/m

Can second this. I had to get a credit card as mortgage got denied because my credit record didn't exist. Three months after the card, I got approved. This is despite me earning an extravagant wage relative to my age for over a decade

I think on a Mac you'd struggle to get anything to pre-creative cloud to execute. Windows might be a different story? If you are doing basic PS work - the open source alternatives are more than capable. Some non-adobe applications can

I think it’s common knowledge that the Conservative party in the UK accepts large donations from Russian citizens[1] and that a section of the London property market is swimming in Russian money.[0] It would be a stretch to say Johnson is k

I agree with this on the whole. I’d add the form factor of a phone works against anything complex also. No D-Pad/Joystick or hardware buttons really makes it difficult to design anything that will hit that fun + complex loop well. I c

The Guardian seem very lost: chasing the same slice of advertising pie as DM/Telegraph. Channel 4 news are a small team with a heck of a punch - but there is not a lot of daily output.

Interesting that you see rail as a method to earn a wage. I think it's positively evil for society that someone on minimum wage can't visit family or relations because they can't afford the fare. That hurts everyone.
