For research
- Comment on Dear Americans, be prepare to get screwed! 1 month ago:
So in your example, I guess the tariffs don’t apply to Canada? Because the proceeds of tariffs go to the government of the country charging them.
- Comment on What is your pet peeve in 2024? 1 month ago:
That every store wants you to sign up and have you give them your details.
When I bought a shirt in a department store a couple of years ago and the guy wanted me to give him my email address “to save paper” (yeah right), rather than give me a receipt. It was like we were having a stand off for a while there. I just want to buy a shirt not sign up for ongoing spam! - Submitted 1 month ago to [deleted] | 2 comments

“Going in guns-blazing”, lol, some Americans…

Consequently, Americans generate the majority of English-language Internet content.
False. Yes, it is larger than any other individual English speaking group but accounts for less than a fifth of the total English speakers.

I wouldn’t have guessed Nigeria is the third largest English speaking group.

I thought that biscuit flavoured cola was probably fake as well, but then I saw a discarded can of it yesterday

To quote from your source:
8-inch floppy disk, inserted in drive, (3½-inch floppy diskette, in front, shown for scale)

I was wondering how CD-RW works, if anyone else wants to know:
electronics.howstuffworks.com/question655.htm. They have a layer that can change between clear and opaque that is changed by having different temperatures applied to it.

Isn’t a diskette just a small version of a disk? Much like kitchenette to kitchen
- Comment on No thanks. I'm good. 3 months ago:
I’ve been to one of the places and drank it. The coffee was nice but I’ve never chosen to have it again. The animals seemed happy enough, certainly nothing alarming happening. I’m sure they might prefer to roam free but you could say that about pet cats too.

Going before the lines form can be a good strategy.
- Comment on App development 5 months ago:
The self promotion on obscure forums for a handful of up votes and assumption that you are people’s favourite actress makes this account look more like someone pretending to be Margot Robbie, rather than it being genuine.

Was wondering if Robert Miles - Children had a music video with a lot of foresight.

I find the “just falls back” on top to be #5 (5/8 inch) for me. It will obviously vary for each person but if you can figure out that number, you can be more specific and it might mean less trial and error for the hairdresser.
- Comment on Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees) 8 months ago:
How did you cause them to go bankrupt?
- Comment on 1 year ago:
Yeah I’ve always thought when they give those stats “how long ago?”. Where people’s ancestors lived could be quite different during different time periods, that I don’t think can be accurately represented by percentages.
- Comment on This should be illegal 1 year ago:
I did find that some of my uploaded library got changed to different versions of songs, which I didn’t like.
- Comment on Is there a reason I should donate a kidney to a stranger now, rather than just waiting till I die, at which point both kidneys will probably be donated to strangers anyway? 1 year ago:
But it won’t be your own kidney and you will have to take drugs to try and stop your body rejecting it.

Alphabetical order, but still annoying
