Eh, not just about chattiness, but also sort of, treating each other well? Being helpful even if it’s an inconvenience, that sort of thing.
Kent was horrible, Brumland as well. And aye London and all of it’s wider reaches, Surrey and the lot etc., which is basically half of the south.
Still better than many other countries, but it’s just different up north.

It’s our national treasure, and no one does it quite the same.

People are generally friendly and helpful to strangers. It’s worse down south, but still good compared to many other countries, it’s a lot easier to just strike up a conversation.

It’s quite well established that it’s a British dish. Curry in general isn’t, but Tikka masala is. It’s like Canada claiming Pizza Hawaii.

Everyone always forgets that Chicken Tikka Masala is a British dish and one of the most popular meals in the country

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a significant smear campaign against the only party that has been vocally against Israel trying to get people not to vote for them. Like in the US the people that refused to vote for Kamala because of Israel and let trump get in.

It’s almost as if it’s likely some of them are police.

His experience in this case is exactly as I have experienced the US “justice” system. Thank fuck I don’t live there anymore.

The large vehicles he’s referring to are industrial large vehicles. Which require special licensing. Even the big ass pickup truck they showed could make the turn with no issues at all going at a reasonable speed.

If you are zipper merging before the lane closes you are doing it incorrectly. In a proper merge, there is no space for someone to overtake along since the zipper occurs right at the point that the lane closure has been created (and is usually designed at for a multitude of reasons)

I wasn’t talking about traffic stopping, I was talking about the point at which the merge should take place

You don’t zipper merge before the lane actually closes

Yep. It’s awful. And then you have the occasional other situation when it reinforces that women can’t be “real engineers” so a few of my friends and colleagues have been at booths at events and have to deal with awful sexist nonsense because of this being the awful sexist norm.

Free speech absolutists that don’t recognise that telling people to kill people, burn down their houses, or sink the boats they’re on is a very obvious line and not a “slippery slope”.

- Comment on Reddit Reposting 4 months ago:
I think images/meme level stuff is fine. As long as it’s resharing something that is resonating rather than just reposting. i.e. posting the image or video directly rather than linking to Reddit. And as others mentioned, a text story is likely to be inappropriate, unless we do the whole screenshot other social media site trend which is fine imo

Speed, boats need to be outside the area where they might get hit, which is actually quite large.
Boats, even fast ones, are quite slow. And the larger boats that the fast ones would be deployed from are even slower. So even though that risk area gets smaller as the capsule descends, the big boats are waaaayy slower and still stuck far away. Generally, too far for ‘fast’ boats to get there quickly enough.
Helicopters are much faster, also relative to the size to be able to have medical staff on hand. So they can get there fast enough.
There is significant possibility of injury, and often times there are communication blackouts when they would already need to be leaving to make it in time. So, you send the fast thing.
