They need to do more due diligence on the cause before announcing the cause, but they don't need to do more than confirm users are having problems to update the status page that pr…

Surely then a stalker just needs to be bright enough to make up a story like "I put it into my bag or wallet when I go out, and since I only have one tracker I often move it betwee…

Why not spend an extra 10 seconds finding out if there's a topping you don't like and asking them to not put it on? Surely even quicker than picking it off, and less wasteful! But …

A cardboard roach is not a filter, it's just a cigarette (or joint) holding/structural device. In the case of weed smokers, not having a filter is beneficial. Most cigarette smoker…

Your definition of "common" is out of step with most people's. It means not-rare, or widespread, for example jobs in trucking, retail, and tech are all common in America without th…

You're confusing the definition of a singular thing with the group of things. For example, apples are a luxury in that nobody needs them to live (and the same can be said of any si…

The person you're replying to spoke of what levels people do and will reach, not can reach. Just as the ability to learn how to fly planes within a year doesn't change the fact tha…

Also from the UK, I've never heard a Brit say "zee" (unless quoting an American or talking about Jay-Z)

When driving I don't bother to use Siri for anything other than "call " or "text ". The most hilarious example of how bad Siri is for me, is that literally 100% of the time that I'…

In the case of covid vaccines there's plenty of real world data and lots of governments, universities, etc. running different studies all the time. Pfizer would be stupid to fake s…

My point was that organising something and making it accessible to people doesn't have to mean "without doing so in the way that makes money".

Supermarkets organise food and make them accessible [to paying customers], as does (not with food this time) a private library. Sure their way of wording it makes it possible to re…

Actually I believe that in itself is a misunderstanding. Flu may be more likely than a cold statistically to hit someone badly, but it's quite possible to get the flu mildly, and i…

A piece of advice I was given once and try to remember to follow is to, when commenting online, think "does this comment seem wrong if read out of context". For example you wouldn'…

It becomes second nature, but most people find it a bit of a challenge to learn - obviously not a particularly huge or impossible one considering how common it is for people to get…
