1. Green. Go to the place on maps and there is a road sign that clearly indicates there are only two exits on the roundabout. There should be turn arrows on the road ideally, but you'd think it should be common sense that left goes left, and right goes to the only other exit.

  2. I have a 6-speed x-trail and a 5-speed mx5. After driving the x-trail for a long time I habitually went for "6th" in the mx5 yesterday (Conveniently where the reverse gear is; no notch or mechanism to lift either). After about 20ms of fear of what I'd done, I realised it just wouldn't go into reverse anyway, so don't worry about it.

  3. Somebody beeped at me for waiting for a spot in traffic pulling out of a busy T junction. Some people are just a-holes, so don't worry about it

  4. Same thing happened to me. Upgraded from learner to full insurance with about 5 months left and it was about 80 quid instead of a couple of hundred (The full year would have been about 700)

  5. If you can't afford the pay it forward for the order behind you, you are the person who should benefit from the pay it forward...

  6. It sounds like a stainless santoku like Wusthof's might do you well. Pretty small, pretty versatile, and doesn't have a heel on it or too much curvature. Like others have said, you'll still need to hone frequently and sharpen regularly still. I use a Wusthof classic as I also don't like having a heel

  7. Search on youtube for what you want to do, then fuck it up, try again, and fuck it up a bit less. Eventually you'll get it through experience and the more you do, the better you'll be in general. The most important thing is to not fuck it up so much that you die, so if you're dealing with electrickery, turn shit off at the fuse board (Also known as the consumer unit).

  8. That and everyone spends all their spare time sitting and staring at some type of screen nowadays. You don’t see kids or even teenagers outside very much at all now. When I was a teenager we spent our time riding around the neighborhood on our bikes, playing pickup football or basketball, or at the very least, were outside walking around. You weren’t inside your house after school or on weekends unless you were grounded. Nowadays you wouldn’t even know any kids lived in most neighborhoods if you drove through them.

  9. Between hostile architecture, neighbourhood busibodies and the rise of the helicopter parent, children these days are pressed wherever they go to go not be there. The previous generation has systematically ruined "outside".

  10. Wurm Online, the game Notch worked on before Minecraft

  11. Heroes - The Midnight (Synthwave?)

  12. Compare yourself to 5k other internet users probably around your age

  13. My parents dispatching my older brother to track me down because I was two streets over from where I should've been and I had no mobile phone.

  14. Trading cards were banned at my school mostly because of the "trading part".

  15. My school was *Kid trades very valuable card for shitty card, turns up at school next day demanding it back, alerts staff and parents get involved, everyone forces other kid to trade it back*. School definitely preparing us for the real world.

  16. Receiving $100 doesn't feel like a lot as an adult, but losing $100 feels like loads

  17. Nope. Pretty sure monkeys do that. Sorry, now we're officially worse than monkeys thanks to this guy.

  18. "Oh, you're a game developer? Do you work at *insert one of 5 famous studios*"

  19. Daniel Sloss' line about this makes me laugh so much. It was along the lines of "If you believe in soulmates, you think there's a single person for you amongst 7.5 billion people, and you think you met that person 5 miles outside your hometown?"

  20. Now grow some fucking balls and paint the fucking tree you fucking wanker. It's not fucking hard is it? Just three hairs and some fucking air. Look now, you've scraped so fucking hard with the knife fucking tanners are trying to recruit you for making fucking leather you fucking moron. I SAID CADMIUM YELLOW NOT FUCKING ALIZARIN CRIMSON. FUCK ME.

  21. You can press enter. You don't have to click the search button.

  22. Understand your psychology to manipulate you. Could be something harmless like more targeted ads on Facebook to buy stuff. Could also be used maliciously to create more believable misinformation that can sway an election.

  23. Misinformation has always been used to sway elections as far as I know. Psychological manipulation is also a very valid sales tactic in the real world. I'm looking for some actual detailed scenarios where the private sector or government is actively using people's personal information to harm or control them in a way that wasn't possible before.

  24. It's already been proven that Facebook uses algorithms to change your feed based on your browsing history, likes, comments, and other info. Facebook was caught red-handed manipulating feeds in an unsanctioned, undisclosed experiment on confirmation bias using actual, unaware users. They later got caught up in the Cambridge Analytica scandal where Facebook information was illicitly being used to build voter profiles.

  25. The thing that scares me the most about facebook is that there are thousands of other apps that use it as a login platform and don't provide any other option. I had a look the other day and it was something like 126 apps and sites outside of Facebook had access to my profile info. In my nightmares Zucc is sat there with a huge bank of screens watching us all.

  26. So in the 15th century France they used to use peas to weigh down all of their paper for writing on because nobody had any windows to keep the wind out. There was a special set of serfs at this time who would go around distributing peas to the wealthy landowners and such who were actually educated enough to write, and they were unofficially dubbed the peas-ant class because of this.

  27. They only way for guys to get interesting clothes or something a bit jazzy you have three choices, find a small local shop specialising in what you like, pay a shit tonne of money, make it yourself. Neither of which are reliable, affordable or time efficient.

  28. That annoys me so much. It's like the second I don anything slightly out of the ordinary suddenly my sexuality is being questioned. I honestly do not understand how or why your appearance is somehow tied to which body parts you're attracted to.

  29. Yuuup. They think guys get that way just hittin' the gym on the regular. Like women could just be fit as hell just by eating the occasional salad or going for a walk (/s). They don't realise that for the typical superhero role, these guys eat, sleep, and breath the gym. And eat like 9,000 calories a day. With a full-time personal trainer.

  30. "Administration" fees when doing literally anything. Either accept that this is gouging or build it into the cost. Fuck me.
