I always say I don’t know in interviews when I really don’t, rather than try to bluff. Some interviewers don’t like this though. As with the parent, perhaps that’s actually a good thing as you avoid having to work in a bad environment. Othe

It’s wild someone would call the police for this but it’s also wild that this would be in the news. Couple Freed From Car Park By Police After Losing Ticket.

That's true, but between 19 and 22 also immense. Regardless, the point is it's deciding that a person's moral value should be based on what they did in the past and not what they do now.

I agree it wasn’t light at all in the later parts. Very bleak. If it was ever supposed to be a comedy it didn’t end as one but I can’t think of other animated series you could class as a drama. I think it is one of only about three animated

Nothing to be ashamed of. I think I might have bought a Google Wave invite a couple of years later :/

I suspect multi account support is not ‘down the priority list’ but purposefully not implemented at least when it comes to iOS. Why make it easier for customers to share iPads at home when they can buy multiple iPads. I use my iPad so spora

No but Boeing want the public to read things that will reassure them their safety is Boeing’s first priority, until they’ve forgotten about the recent accident.

I use push to talk on the action button on iPhone on the rare occasions I try to make Siri do something for me. I refuse to say 'Hey Siri' like a twit.

Given the social transformation in NI across the last twenty years compared to the previous generation it seems more to me like a state going in the right direction. It’s a more cohesive state now than in the 60s 70s or 80s, and even if pro

I don’t know why exactly Thurston Moore was interviewing an at that time almost unknown Beck, but it’s such a funny, strange, but warm interview that I never fail to get a kick out of it. https://youtu.be/zdzY49xlvdY?si=fVim

I didn’t downvote you but I assume it’s because you’re saying a drought is evidence of climate change. Regular droughts might be visible effects of climate change but they can happen during a period of general stability too.

I share your concern about using an app to deal with a psychological problem, but I think a counterpoint to your concern about this app being one-size-fits-all is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. The central premise of CBT is that it doesn&#x
