When somebody says something like that, I bring up ancient Greeks rubbing amber on cat fur to investigate static electricity. It would have been very easy 2500 years ago to complain about these idiots rubbing cats with rods while there were bigger issues to solve. It's not like they could say "hold on bro there's this sick thing called the internet and this is step 1 to invent it!". But we're all glad people like that persevered or we'd never have electricity. In fact our word for electricity comes from the greek word for amber, elektron. Learning something new about the world is always worthwhile, even if you don't know why just yet
I've given up on AirBnB in the last few years. When I first started, you could get great places for cheaper than hotels and it felt exciting having a house to yourself. I don't know if the novelty has worn off or if the quality has got worse, but the last few times I've used it I've regretted it. "Check-in" is never simple. Bad directions to the place. Bad communication leading to issues trying to get the key. Stupid rules like having to put bedsheets in the wash. Reviews can't be trusted. And it's not even much cheaper than hotels now.
This doesn't go for every AirBnB, I'm sure plenty are great. But a lot of times you don't want the uncertainty.
The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.
And when they have sci-fi helmets they have bright lights shining at their face. Surely that would be annoying.
Please tell me there's something similar for 192.168.0.1
Interesting that this is "Livin the dream". It happened at my friend's workplace and the leading theory is that he did some diddling and is escaping the repercussions. Guess it's a fine line...
I went to Charleroi once and it was awful. Brussels is fine.
Same. If anything, it would be in Spotify's best interest to steer you away from broadly appealing stuff because they're the mega artists that probably negotiated a better deal. (I'm guessing here)
And the amount of effort required to get a refund is ridiculous. Back and forth emails resulting in a cheque in the post 2 months later
Tall people are short people that are tall
Look at some UK new builds on Rightmove and you will delete this. 1 decent bedroom turned into 3 shitty bedrooms just to make up numbers. You can't even fit a bed in them all
I thought Americans used sq ft to casually describe houses? Please don't switch to number of bedrooms. That's what we do in UK and it's led to house builders squeezing closet-sized bedrooms into a house so they can sell it as a 4-bed.
But then we'd all get pissed the day before and be too hungover to go and vote
Britisher used to be fairly popular back in the day. Yanks are usually behind everything so it makes sense they'd still be using it
