"The number of times I've shit flying out of or off of cars & trucks" I'll take that very seriously in my car too - and back off if I see a badly loaded vehicle. There's not much protection from a windshield.

That makes sense assuming engineers don't need to practice this skill very often. But doctors need to do fluffy, compassionate every shift. Nothing about the story makes sense. Doctors and nurses say these kinds of things to patients e

I have seen police arrest people under section 136 of the UK's Mental Health Act in circumstances where no expertise is needed to see that the person is a danger to themselves or others. The police then take that person to a place of s

All the rewards I've ever had were points or cashback at or below 2% of spend. These are/were all zero annual fee cards - there might be more rewards at higher tiers.

I and others have shown that such cards exist, correcting the person who I replied to, who claimed they did not.

Were there any requirements at all to get hired as a teacher before that change?

I'm in the UK and I have had (still have) rewards on MC, Visa and Amex. This was the case when we were still in the EU as well.

Marylebone... Mornington Crescent! (No pronunciation trickery on that last one, it is just the name of an absurdist parlor game)

If I went 15 slower, there would have been no accident. The whole thing wasn't even my fault. This seems contradictory. Do you mean the other driver was more at fault?

We had snow on my street for about 5 days early this year (not a main road so didn't get cleared). Didn't grind to a halt at all - just needed a bit more care to get to the main road, which was cleared. I drive an ordinary FWD car

I don't liken it to slavery, but most wage (or salaried) labor looks like this. Making sure your employer thinks well of you (your 'rating'), getting certifications (some employers will pay, but not all).

Vast numbers of people in the West don't own their own home either. Not really the same as living in the old East since you can choose where you live here, within your budget, but I wanted to highlight that a lot of our freedom ends wh

Is the motivation to minimize the seriousness of Watergate? I just take it as a lazy way of tagging a story and I suspect many headline writers couldn't even summarise what the original Watergate scandal involved.

"A total of 45% of respondents said either it should be abolished, was not at all important or not very important." Not categories I would have combined in an analytical report.

Wish I could think of some basis to sue the vendor who locked education customers into using a specific model of laptop to access their software.

While this could be solved by judges choosing to retire early while under a 'friendly' administration, recent experience tells us this is not going to happen every time.

Quite a lot of musical instruments are beautiful objects that you could display. While you could display electronic test equipment, even geeks usually don't.

I don't assume that flag indicates the person is jobless. The person working BK while looking for a white collar job might well use it.

I'm not saying it was bad tech at the time of introduction, just that it's less effective as a security measure now.

Negligence doesn't work the way you describe with potential to be out of scope. It is a finding of fact: there was negligence or there was not. The law has a separate mechanism for situations that you might call 'out of scope&#x27

From your username I figure you might know: are any other services sold this way in Japan? I ask because if not then it's going to be difficult to go first. If yes, any idea how it influences behaviour?

As an analyst, could I write an analysis plan and have this tool implement the plan in, say python pandas?
