Everywhere or just the light switches?
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 1 day ago:
As someone who lived through the Troubles, there were clearly upsides vs the country we had before.
The civil rights movement grew at a pace, the police service was completely revamped, and cross community relations improved dramatically. Most importantly, we largely stopped killing each other.
There was nothing good in the Troubles, but what came out of it was undoubtedly better than what had been there before.

That’s his wools (white horsehair), hence the phrase ‘pull the wool over his eyes’. They come from the reign of Charles II and have a symbolic purpose that shows both anonymity and authority.
I think only judges at Crown Courts would wear them. You wouldn’t see them in magistrates courts or county courts.
They also used to be used in the 17th century to hide symptoms of diseases such as lice, hair loss, scabs etc.

I think in general emojis aren’t for the workplace, especially on the customer-facing side. Linkedin feels like it should be the same. It’s essentially your résumé, and there’ll be a percentage of people who scoff at emojis and disregard you.
- Comment on Bears or no bears? 2 days ago:
Except it’s nothing to do with that and comes from the Arctic being marked by Ursa Minor & Major in the Northern sky, and Antarctica being the opposite of that.

Cleaning?

Thumbs up
- Comment on Is it weird that whenever there's an internet disruption, the first thing that I assume is happening is war, civil unrest, or government censorship, or some sort of conspiracy happening? 5 days ago:
Yes. It’s pretty much always not any of those things.
- Comment on Revolution bars set to disappear from the high street after going bust 5 days ago:
I dunno. 12 is still wild as a starter.
- Comment on Revolution bars set to disappear from the high street after going bust 5 days ago:
I have one memory of Revolution. It was my mate Pete’s birthday in about 2002.
He was a giant farming-stock guy from rural Northern Ireland. We ordered him a round the works tour, which was 12 vodkas, one of which was chilli flavoured.
He smashed the lot in 10 seconds flat and only grimaced slightly with the chilli one.
He was ordering shots 20 minutes later. That would’ve killed me.
- Comment on It always makes news when the "Doomsday Clock" is moved by a second or minute. What would actually happen if it got to 00:00 5 days ago:
It’s symbolic, so nothing, unless someone happens to move it when the carpet of nukes are on their way or whatever.

That Bane one was one of the most poorly-structured, plot-hole-filled messes I’ve ever seen. Nolsn is awful but you’re supposed to like his movies because they’re ‘good’ (if you like things that look very nice but with no characters and terrible dialogue).
- Comment on Schlip schlop 5 days ago:
Like everything Christopher Nolan makes.
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 1 week ago:
He is clearly stupid if he believes that. Impressively so.
- Comment on Im stupid but have money 1 week ago:
Joy doesn’t require skill. Have a go at loads of things, even stuff you might not think is you. You just might find something great to anchor to.
- Comment on How many active robots do you think exist today on this planeeet by your best estimate ? 1 week ago:
Umpteen.
- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 1 week ago:
That bread looks meh, but there are plenty of great white slice bread options, particularly if you’re a toast fan.

Always bring a bomb to a gunfight

I’d bring much rzalue.
- Comment on The Traitors Is Fake Scotland at Its Worst 2 weeks ago:
You’re right. Mullan starred and was excellent.
- Comment on The Traitors Is Fake Scotland at Its Worst 2 weeks ago:
It is marvellous. Tyrannosaur and Red Riding are other gems of the director Peter Mullan. Dark and heavy, but great.
- Comment on The Traitors Is Fake Scotland at Its Worst 2 weeks ago:
Or Neds. Cracking movie.
- Comment on Trump gives the middle finger to a Ford employee who yells "pedophile protector" 2 weeks ago:
The dude got about 350k on a gofundme.

No. You still need to get stung in your mouth or throat, and that’s venom. You can eat bees til the cows come home.

He’s a poet and he doesn’t know it.
- Comment on My friends are by my side 2 weeks ago:
You know that ‘access to the sum of all knowledge’?
Maybe you could use that and learn that not everyone gets them and it’s by no means a universal experience. Even people who do have them may not ever notice them due to the size, so by definition will be impossible to miss for some people.
You could also read sites on how not to be irrationally angry while you’re at it.
