People will put change into a jar at the front of a cafe if they want, usually a dollar or so. Sometimes the money is for a charity run and not even for the cafe. At a fine dining restaurant yes you’d probably tip for great service.
At a bar for instance you wouldn’t tip. That would be strange.
Yeah English police are much more welcoming than the US police.
It’s about as annoying as young people abandoning any and all punctuation entirely the amount of people that will write an entire paragraph and not use a single period is obscene if you can’t bother to organize your thoughts in the most minimal way I’m going to assume you have nothing of worth to say and just won’t read it and frankly, if what you’re saying is so boiler plate you don’t need punctuation then you really don’t have anything to add so probably just shouldn’t
Plus Tesla’s for the Australian market are built in China. Heck, I think some of the new BMWs are built in China now as well.
Because the Australian Teslas and Volvos are made in China. It’s a Chinese EV. Volvo is owned by a Chinese Company.
Don’t count your hens I remember when all the consoles had backwards compatibility, until they didn’t.
The average bike rider going at a leisurely pace goes 14.1 mph.
Driving in London and Paris is such a pain in the arse I would never buy one of I had to live there. If I needed a car for a weekend trip I’d just rent one.
Hang on hang on hang on let me spend $100,000 on consultants to tell me what I want to think.
Every country subsidizes their own auto industry. Every single one of them.
Person who was charged and put on trial for murder died. It’s a legal term. Journalists can get sued for defamation for blatantly calling someone who is not convicted a rapist or murderer. You can safely call OJ an armed robber and kidnapper though.
That’s why the talking heads on tv tend to dance around the terminology and say “allegedly” and “accused of”
If you’re under 30, full-time job, no looming debts, no kids, then the 6 months can really be 3 months or around $10,000. If you have a partner, you are even more secure. Remember this is a figure derived from very conservative financial commentators who assume you have a linear college and job progression (which is rarely the case). Even a 1 month savings buffer will save you for 90% of the unexpected expenses.
If you’re in your late 50s, finding a new job will be tough, especially if you are laid off during a recession. In that case a generous buffer beyond 6 months would be good.
Either way, having savings is a good thing. Yes you will miss out on those “epic Bitcoin gains”, but once you have made an emergency savings buffer, then you can really knuckle down on contributions to retirement.
I live in a small unit that had dusty ultra-compacted dirt around the house that was called a lawn. I broke the soil with a hoe, threw a few bags of soil mix down and planted some moss I harvested growing wild down the laneway. 2 years later the ground is mostly covered in a spongey moss. Give it a few more years it’ll be completely covered and thick.
It requires virtually no mowing and needs little water. Apparently growing moss is even good for air and ground water purification. Not sure how much purifying it’s doing but it’s good to know I’m doing my little part.
If you have a small yard, grow moss.
I eventually signed up to Reddit in 2011 when it started to become less of the “wild west.” I mean anything could pop up on the front page. 2015 I really got sick of US politics in everything, and I think after the 2016 election, I found out just how many subreddits were controlled and modded by like 4 people. Reddit had a plethora of issues well before most current users even arrived.
Living in apartments.
In a lot of cities and towns living in apartments is seen as something that young adults who are renting short term do, and definitely not families or older couples.
Living in an apartment is considerably cheaper for my situation. I drive so much less, I pay for less power, and I have all this parkland around me.
I’m a car guy and I don’t have a garage, that’s annoying, but I commute by escooter now and drive on the weekends. It’s much better.
That’s a great question. What I would say is the wheels of justice turn painfully slowly.
I am sure Antony Blinken is well aware of domestic concerns over the wellbeing of Gazans, the unfortunate reality is any big decision against or at Israel will come with negative consequences.
The path of least resistance might be allowing the Israeli’s to squeeze out their own leader democratically. Is that the best way? Well, probably? Not always?
A pacifist may look to the Vietnam War, Libya or Iran and say action was injustice, an activist might look at the Rwandan Genocide and say pacifism was injustice. Diplomacy has to do it’s thing.
