Since it sometimes comes through as 'Amrmr', I guess some agents are trying that but for their system it isn't stripped.

Exactly. Sometimes there's someone else on the road driving so badly that the safest thing to do is get away from them. It's much more difficult if you're on a road with lots of sp…

I only learned they do have the accents from your post. I was taught to omit them about a decade ago (as a second language).

Cool idea but they'd never do it here (UK) because they couldn't spare the police time.

I disagree. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/adj... With this the type (?) (universal) comes before the the purpose (co-ordination) Despite the URL I don't …

It is enough for civil court.

I'm not aware of any city-local maglev trains. American cities are still spread out from one-another.

When I read Crime and Punishment, I realised many of what I saw as flaws could be explained by the fact that it was published as a serial. You can't retcon what's already released.…

I've noticed a trend on BBC news. '[X market/stock] slumps as [thing related to X] [does something]' Yet when you go and look at the long-term graph, it's well within normal varian…

That guideline doesn't exist everywhere. You may just be seeing CVs from non-UK applicants.

This seems based on the assertion that people are only using Uber because it's cheaper which, as far as I can tell, is completely unfounded.

The radio stations are free from commercial adverts but they're bound by the same logistical problems as other radio stations, meaning a decent proportion of airtime is listening t…

If it's on a bestseller list, it's already discovered. It's also going to be pushed by every book retailer.

They are voters, it's proposed legislation. Blame editors for using headlines like these.

I disagree. Markets react to election results.

They couldn't sell it currently, if the law changes in the future (or if it can be moved to another jurisdiction) then it could be sold for a non-zero value.

I've been meaning to do something very similar to this for a while to see what hours people at large tech companies are committing at
