I called this out after my first trip to the US, and then I came back to the UK just in time for the coronation weekend. Hahaha we definitely outdid them a bit in terms of flags which shut me right up. Especially working for an American employer for some reason, we went all out with a work do in the UK, union flags galore.

The difference is all our flags went away again straight after the coronation.

I like to think that he knows

Companies really don't put much effort into making these readable or accessible.

Many websites I've used it's even a broken link, there's nothing to read but I'm expected to agree anyway.

The terms are usually extremely long and repetitive, they're not designed to be actually read by people.

In Windows 95, wordpad was still write.exe, is it possible they just renamed it?

The joke still works anyway because the life at the bottom of the ocean would be ignorant of that

No, it's not just about DRM, currently the storefronts do not guarantee continued access to the content.

For example, Valve can just close your Steam account at their discretion and you would no longer be able to log in or download any of your games

TIL you can kill processes straight from top

100% and I'm sure you know this too but just to add to your point, I believe the US government spends more money per capita on healthcare than anywhere in Europe, so even under the "Why should I?" lens, the current approach costs individuals more because they have to pay for it in taxes and then also in insurance premiums, copay etc.

It's not just for the benefit of society as a whole, "you" as an individual would also be financially better off under a socialised system.

100% this, I've been a few times to pubs etc. where they tell you the kitchen closing time separately from the pub closing time but then when you try to order food before that they say they already took last orders because the kitchen staff finish at that time.

Like bro, politely I do not care what time your staff finish their shift, it doesn't affect me. As a customer, I care what time service ends - that's the time that should be included on the opening hours to the public.

Hasn't been called ".NET Core" since 3.1

Although it's essentially the subsequent version of core, .NET 5 is the successor to both .NET Core 3.1 and .NET Framework 4.

Since then, it's just been called .NET 5/6/7/8/...

My mum is like this but I think this kind of thing depends on where you're at in your financial journey and also the type of person you are.

I find that cash burns a hole in my pocket and I check my apps regularly to track spending so any cash effectively just "disappears", I won't even remember what I spent it on.

I completely prefer digital spending because for me it's easier not to lose track and if I seem short, I can trace exactly where it went.

If you're someone who is not in financial trouble and pays off credit cards regularly then I advise trying to find one with decent rewards and use it for as much of your spending as possible.

This not only gets you air miles / cash back but also helps to build a strong credit record if you're looking to buy a house, car, ... in the future.

That was quite a read.

Thanks for sharing.
