This SO much. I was involved some years ago with a non profit, run by a guy with significant personal wealth. He burnt through nearly a million bucks, and did manage to get some change to happen , but it was incredibly difficult and incredibly slow, even with the backing and support of a number of other wealthy and connected individuals plus mass public support as well.

Somebody needs some driver training!

I will still look for a jack on my next phone, current Samsung has one, will likely buy another so I will probably buy top of their entry range

Now this.... this is seriously strange. Strongest contender so far. Their track "Subways" is also quite something

Workplaces were the worst, I kept catching other people's second hand smoke at work. Worst was when I went to an encounter group type thing and a guy was smoking and I got a faceful.... and bronchitis for the rest of the trip. And that was in the 90's

At least in my own home and car I could set the rules and rules was take that shit outside

Immortality or at least a usefully extended lifespan

So much I want to do!

I like them all bar the psychopaths. And if you've had a run on with one of those no explanation will be necessary

Busted in Baylor County by Shooter Jennings, found this through the good graces of Deezer last year, just loved it on first hearing and still do

Sheriff of Boone County by Kenny Price, first found this gem on a country compilation CD I got in the 80's used to play this on repeat around the same time my first boyfriend was playing Madonna's Vogue on repeat, that sure made for some interesting sessions at the stereo. Lost that CD and later found the track online via a user at a reddit country music sub who posted it, I couldnt remember the name for the life of me until he posted it

Thanks for this tip, I dont have trouble sleeping generally but my partner does, will look into this for him

An AI that can turn YouTube videos into written articles? Take My Money! I have been wanting this for a long time, I far far prefer stuff in writing to videos, I dont take information from audio/video anything like as well

Same here. Whatever I have now is more than good enough. What I had before was good enough too

My last phone upgrade was about four years ago (Nokia 6 to Samsung A31) and that was only to try and get YouTube Music's shitty app to work properly (spoiler : it didnt). Broke the screen on it dropping it while trying to put a mask on, got that fixed (that was over two years ago). Its still going, and will keep it until it dies

I dont upgrade my phone because I'm interested in upgrading, I upgrade when I have to

A fruitless hot cross bun is like a sexless marriage - I dont see the point

Cheese and onions in a hot cross bun - that is an Abomination before God

Yes, a few times. Didnt make the slightest difference though, it almost never does. Such is life. Still, at least others viewing the discussion who were on the fence/ unsure will have been presented with the evidence needed to convince them

I put the heaviest and least breakable things first in line so they end up at the bottom of the bag(s). Canned food, stuff in plastic bottles, then all the cold/ frozen stuff altogether, light and delicate things like bread, chips etc last

I joined on here a bit over 9 months ago after I was permabanned from reddit for ????? reason after I posted a Google Streetview link of a layby. This happened to coincide with the third party API fuckup and several other irrational and counterproductive changes so I arrived here right in the middle of a period of huge growth. I havent left since then per se but have had periods of reduced activity. Have started another profile on reddit (which was stupidly easy) as there are still a number of niche communities there that have no activity on their equivalent communities here. Am settled, and will likely gradually spend more time here as reddit management continue to find more feet to shoot themselves in

That seems reasonable, especially if it has a proven track record. And the cracking down on WFH is SO stupid, as it has multiple benefits far beyond just allowing those are arent 100% well to WFH, it reduces traffic and allows us breathing space to upgrade road and public transport infrastructure - Auckland would be in permanent gridlock by now if it wasnt for WFH

This thing of people running out of sick days just enrages me when there is an easy solution at hand - let those who have more sick leave then they can possibly use give it to those in need. I have currently got 46 days stored up, out of a maximum of 50, and in a few months I will be given my annual allocation of ten days, most of which will just spill over the top of the pot cos I cant have more than 50. I would love to be able to just give someone in OP's situation 10-20 days, its not like I can ever see myself using them

Some companies here do have a provision for this, I recall reading about an insurance company that lets employees like me donate some of their sick leave into a pool into which those in need can draw on when they run out. Great way to do it, everybody wins

OmiGod yes, I've had this a few times. Pointing out facts, supported with a bunch of links to studies. Or even just pointing out the patently obvious - if it goes against the groupthink in a particular thread or community, it'll get downvoted, here and on reddit too

Most downvotes I've had here was for pointing out that shoplifting results in increased prices for the paying customers

I would most definitely want to know if my friends were close with people who’d been in prison! My previous experience with people like that were..... not great
