Way to get out of it? Lawyers
Why are people afraid? Lawyers
Lawyers can get very expensive, and don’t have a guaranteed result. Also a company Vs an individual usually has disproportionate funds for legal fees

I don’t think we want to close the recruiter & c-suite containment system
It does a great job of keeping them all in one place so we can leave them to their fart sniffing and occasionally visit like it’s a zoo

I’ve never seen any phone tell me why someone is calling, only who
Frankly, I’ve gotten to the end of many phone calls and still not known why someone thought they needed to interrupt my day with a phone call

Tbf the kind of cultural fusion cuisine you get when another culture successfully imports another culture’s cuisine, is super interesting to me. I’d say this stands separately from intentional fusion restaurants, this is more something that happens organically as a cuisine is adapted to the ingredients and tastes somewhere away from where it is invented.
The classic examples are Tex-mex and British curries, but every country has a few things like this. Japanese Italian is a pretty cool experience, not least of all because now I think about it there’s some places that are straight up Japanese/Italian cultural fusion, but others are more Japanese/Italian-American, so this thing can go deeper.
Always been a fan of trying local cuisine when I’ve travelled, but I’ve more recently been trying to add places like the above into the mix, as it’s genuinely always been interesting to me

I was gonna say in the UK, a lot of modern slang over here comes from MLE (Multicultural London English)
Clearly this makes up a key part of our respective shitposting R&D divisions

The OP: datapro.net/…/usb-type-d-connector-unveiled.html
Following the overwhelmingly positive response to 180° reversible connectors like USB Type C and Apple’s Lightning, USB Type D’s novel plus-shaped design can correctly be inserted in 4 different orientations, a mere 90 degrees apart.
“With our reversible Type C connector, we allowed users to blindly plug in their devices with minimal frustration. But we wanted to take it a step further. Now with USB Type D, no matter how crazy your night has been, we guarantee that you’ll be able to successfully plug in your phone before passing out.”
Remember when funny people still did April fools? I’ve not seen a good April fools hoax that doesn’t transparently reek of marketing in years

Reminder that 99% of think tanks are just organisations that pay for studies that help the owner’s ideological goals.
Always look at the owner of the think tank and people involved and decide if it’s just propaganda before you listen to a word of reporting that originates with them

Idk I don’t seem to count myself as having made it until I’m sat
In my experience there’s an inverse square law where the urge approaches infinity with proximity to the bowl

I got the inspiration from a visit to Turkey many years ago, give it a go, it’s a game changer

Pickled red onions are basically a cheat code
Shove some cumin, sumac, chives, salt, pepper and lemon juice on some and an hour later you’re dealing with 24 carat amazingness
- Comment on Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes 1 month ago:
A dude got up to 90mph on a bike just off his own steam before
I remember all the adverts when I was a kid telling me that if I got hit by a car at 30mph there was a 90% chance I’d live (this was the happy path of the advert). This is also cars ostensibly driven by licensed people.
E-bikes with a 25mph limiter are not a risk if we allow cars in the same space as pedestrians

I know you seem to be having a bit of a radish moment
But lemme tell you, you can pretty much pickle anything edible that’s not been particularly processed
If you’re just living a monopickle life with gherkins, you need to step out into the universe outside your door
Any given person’s sandwich game is directly proportional to the selection of tang they have available to them

Baffling that a Tory would struggle understanding the paradox of tolerance.
