  I don’t know either. There really isn’t a universally agreed upon standard for how to leave a toilet seat. Even with a sign dictating the expected behaviour, it’s not a guarantee. It’s completely illogical to expect a toilet seat to have been left in any specific state*, and therefore the onus is entirely on the next person to set it how they want before using it. This is already how it works. It takes 1 second. I don’t know who is complaining about it.

  Although, on second thought, the only people who would ever have to move the seat in a seat-down world are those who want to pee standing up, and there might be some value in very gently discouraging that behaviour in a public restroom. Not sure if that’s the goal here, but it’s a theory.

  *Unless there’s a lid. Close the damn lid!

  Yup. I’ve never really felt compelled to steal anything at all in my life, but I found some silverware like this at a restaurant one time and I don’t think I had much of a choice.

  Once I felt that ideal shape in my hand, with the perfect amount of heft distributed exactly as it should be, I knew I could never go back to using regular flat silverware.

  The waiter caught me trying to clumsily hide the one set, and then he brought me a second one to take home as a gift. It was one of the nicest things, I’ll never forget it.

  To be honest, I’m not sure if Black Bag is really much of a spy movie. There’s barely any action or international intrigue, it’s almost all just stuffy british dialogue. For that reason I’d call it more of a mystery/whodunnit flick that just happens to be set in a spy agency. It’s definitely no Bond film, but I think it holds up pretty well for what it is. I had a good time watching it.

  My brain accepted this new piece of information and immediately tried to recalibrate my sense of wellbeing based on how much time I spend playing cozy games.

  So there was a bizarre moment where I felt positively dandy.

  Did anyone else get a mental health buff just from reading this headline?

  I used what known as 2’s compliment. Take the complement (flip all the bits - here that would give you 01110 which is 14) then add 1.

  Not OP but I read somewhere that 20% of mammal species are bats. So you’re probably right.
