Luckily derailleur hangers are standardized across the industry and so it’s easy to pick up a replacement from any bike shop NO WAIT

Psychology has shown this is all too true: the minimal group effect.

She’s crying because she knows he’s about to say “Tibble” and their relationship will be over

Oil extracted near the UK doesn’t get used in the UK - it goes to the global market.

All oil goes on the global market. Drilling for it here doesn’t mean we use British oil here, and doesn’t meaningfully mean the Saudis produce any less. The only way forward is to wean ourselves off being dependent on oil

It would be interesting to do a proper comparative lifecycle analysis. Treating, pumping and heating water isn’t zero-carbon (especially if you run it for a while waiting for it to get up to temperature) and I’d be curious to know when is the break-even point that the carbon costs of a bidet beat a few sheets of paper

Wouldn’t need to work so hard if you weren’t making massive car payments

I don’t know the Australian constitution, but I’m guessing there’s nothing in there that obliges states to accommodate stupid decisions by national government?

A midsized college football stadium might hold about 70,000 people. Imagine going onto the loudspeaker and announcing “Seven hundred and fifty-three of the people here today are going to die in a car crash. Enjoy the game”

I can’t remember who said this, but somebody said the version of the Turing Test as we all remember it is ridiculous: It’s basically saying that the test of intelligence is “Can a chatbot fool one idiot?”

On really long races with a backpack, my HRM strap has often got nudged down so it’s practically round my abdomen, and it still worked fine. Why don’t you give it a go much lower and see what happens? That might help settle the breast question?

We did curation of existing knowledge for years, in the form of textbooks and reference works. This is just people thinking they can get the same benefits without the expense, and it’ll come crashing down soon enough when people see that you need to handle concepts, not just surface words with a superficial autocomplete

She normalised her numbers based on the number of followers she had on each platforms, so should have adjusted for this

You are not okay to drive after two booze rounds

A lot of people aren’t into this. A lot. They just stay quiet because they’ve been told they’re wrong to not be into it. You’re not alone here. Just do what makes you happy and wait it out. That’s what I’m doing

The nuance is that exercise that’s baked into people’s everyday routines gets done, and so extends healthy life. Exercise that requires extra time and effort gets done a lot less. This is why everyday physical activity through moving around is so important

This ticket is odd by UK standards, and the arrangement you describe isn’t the norm. These seat reservation tickets normally specify a particular seat

Welcome! Don’t forget to wipe your feet in the way in

I believe the claim was that the vibrations of the turbines cause problems for the whales

They absolutely do not support this in any meaningful way. Try telling them they have to get rid of their car and stop flying, and that in the meantime gas prices will shoot upwards, and then let’s see how much they actually support this. They just said they supported it in a poll either because they thought that’s what they were meant to say, or because they didn’t understand the implications of what they were agreeing to
