Yes. I find it surprising.

It’s also good that there is analysis of the effect of the charge.

I would like to know if the UK tax on sugared drinks has any beneficial effect. I believe that sales (and manufacture) have reduced but that’s pretty irrelevant—eg, has it improved obesity or dental health?

My student accommodation had cockchafers. The university didn’t believe us until one of my friends presented them with one in a matchbox.

It would be more efficient, for researchers and for funding agencies, if the dice-rolling occurred first.

And titles (e.g., Miss, Ms, Mr, Mrs, Dr, Prof.) aren’t used with only the first name.

(Though the BBC likes to do this with their ‘celebrity’ doctors).

Good idea, but apparently not possible: According to Sky News “Mr Steele says he has no means of recouping his costs from UK assets owned by Trump, because the golf courses that bear his name in Scotland are held in trust structures.”

Nice!

I have an Ibanez acoustic from the late 1980s. It doesn’t look as smart as yours but sounds good, keeps tune and is comfortable.

Yeah…it’s worth checking that your face is centralised.

Last week my wife ran a video call at work with the camera on her cleavage.

Oh, same problem as flammable and inflammable.

[-] Puttaneska@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Thankyou! I can not stand it either.

Yes, that’s what it looks like.

I don’t think they look similar to anything so probably fine to eat. Always a good idea to take a spore print to help with ID, tho’.

You can also compost natural clothing. I’ve composted old jeans and woollen clothing. It takes ages and you need to remove the zips/buttons, but they do break down.

Am I right in thinking that these exhaust systems require drivers to inform their insurance company, because they change performance?
