I thought that is kind of what Quakers are?

I think if any Australians see you you are in deep trouble!

Aren't all modules bifacial these days?

I bought one after reading those posts (second hand). It was great, but unfortunately I broke the hose and after trying and failing to replace it I gave up and bought a different vacuum.

Not sure what it's availability is like outside the UK but numatic Henry vacuums are cheap, simple, easily repairable and robust. If you don't mind the silly smiley face in the front it's a great option.

Have been using the Reddit app daily for years after paying a couple of quid to remove ads whenever I did that. Felt like a steal then and expensive now so, on balance, I'm comfortable having paid the ad randsome. I feel better knowing it all goes to the developer for his personal efforts.

I don't really like this take. The death penalty isn't cultural and people who oppose it are free to vocalise it. Singaporean culture is great because it is a unique melting pot of many different cultures, the death penalty is a legal matter and isn't drawn from the composite cultures of the people that live there.

you can't disagree with the results

It's the third hanging this week for drugs offenses so it would seem that the policy isn't completely effective

the people there feel it is a tradeoff they are willing to live with.

They may be willing to live with it, but i wouldn't presume that they are in favour of the policy. Singapore is a one party state and rated a 'flawed democracy' in The Economist democracy index. Frankly, Singaporeans aren't consulted on the matter.

who the fuck are you to tell those people how they should rule their own country?

On a micro level, who the fuck are the authorities of Singapore to take another person's life.

I have a few accounts on different instances and flick between the seamlessly in the app I use. It has worked well for me when experiencing the issue you describe.

Cricket is great and it takes a lot of time to get under the skin of the sport and understand the intricacies. It's also easy to take the piss out of because of the slow paced nature of 5 day test matches and the funny jargon.

Sounds like he was either being a little bit gatekeepy because he couldn't be bothered to explain the rules or he was a bit sensitive to having his sport ridiculed... or maybe he was just being polite and turned it off to socialise

Does reading this comment count as me doing my own research?
