- Comment on have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work? 1 week ago:
Don’t worry, people here yell at you for not using profane language because “you can swear on the internet”, they’re a weird bunch.

Paris has pretty good food but it’s below average for France, the south is where it’s at.

- Comment on Drink it, I dare ya 2 weeks ago:
They have replaced the H in the chemical formula for water (H2O) to represent “coconut”. However, C already stands for a chemical element, carbon. That implies this product is a molecule made of two carbon atoms and one oxygen. If such a thing exists, it would be incredibly unstable and react with anything it touches; you certainly would not want to drink it.

Those crossings we do also have in NZ, a country with many sheep

The house is also something you definitely wouldn’t see in NZ, I also think Scandinavia, probably Norway.

Putin maybe, Kim-Jong definitely not. Just Meta’s net profit (let well alone revenue) is well over NK’s entire GDP. Even if he literally owned the entire country he wouldn’t be nearly as wealthy as Musk or Bezos.

Scamming is core to what it is to be human, other animals don’t scam, and when they do insofar add they do we say they are like us

But what about <incredibly contrived specific example involving song lyrics, guns to heads etc.>, can I say it then?
- Comment on Elsevier 4 months ago:
Those few top people are assholes who love the enormous power they wield over PhD students, postdocs and junior faculty, and they are usually editors on those big name journals. Unlike the people who actually do the work, they are getting paid from this system.
- Comment on Elsevier 4 months ago:
Nope, you just can’t get a job unless you suck it up and publish in these journals, because they’re already famous. And established profs use their cosy relationships with editors to gatekeep and stifle competition for their funding :(

Overestimating it a little, the construction workers just need to be good. But there are indeed literally thousands of PhDs working on it for decades, from all over the world.

There is no issue from graphenes side really, Google wallet doesn’t work because obviously Google doesn’t allow it to. nfc payments always worked if you are lucky enough to be with a bank that does it through the bank app itself, there’s nothing intrinsic about the os that stops them. There are a few of those online banks/money apps offering this now, some people have said PayPal works? And various other services. If you Google a bit you should find some suggestions.
- Comment on Drinkers lose up to £114 a year over beer and wine short measures, study reveals 5 months ago:
Haha. But I mean they’re too polite and nonconfrontational to argue about less than an ounce, but an American pint is like 100 mL smaller, it’s really noticeable
- Comment on Drinkers lose up to £114 a year over beer and wine short measures, study reveals 5 months ago:
British people know how big their pints are meant to be ahaha
- Comment on Drinkers lose up to £114 a year over beer and wine short measures, study reveals 5 months ago:
For a criminal charge, absolutely, and that’s as it should be. But in lay terms there is a bit of a grey area. I think you can be an overworked bartender who at some level does realise that the pour isn’t 100% up to the line (so the customer won’t be getting the full pint they ordered), but is too busy or distracted or lazy to really give a shit about making it exactly perfect. Who among us would make every burger perfect if we worked fast food? None, but it’s technically illegal in this case. But a punter who’d send a pint back for being less than an ounce under is pretty rare, nobody really cares that much.
I think the real news is that the average pub goer is spending almost three grand a year. Jfc.
- Comment on Drinkers lose up to £114 a year over beer and wine short measures, study reveals 5 months ago:
Sure, technically, but I doubt it’s always on purpose.
- Comment on Drinkers lose up to £114 a year over beer and wine short measures, study reveals 5 months ago:
No, just sloppy pouring mostly
