I’m only on my phone and can’t easily check the data behind this, but a very quick and dirty estimate of number of houses built per undeveloped acre between those 2 countries shows a different picture. Balancing land use has to be a factor, not just absolute number of people wanting houses. Is anyone talking about theoretical population models for different countries?

And even if you jump from higher up, it’s the ground that does it, still not the Burj Khalifa.

I have been burnt by Dropbox in the past so now use Syncthing between my desktop, laptop, and a private remote server with file versioning turned on. Trivial to global ignore node_modules, and not giving data to a third party.

It’s saved me on several occasions.

All the more unusual ones were taken.

Mitch playing the long game for when your perp ends up in therapy…

I’m almost more irritated by the use of two hyphens instead of a colon after the first definition. They just didn’t give a shit really.

Is that Otto at the controls?

If you take a finished product and gradually take away pieces, you can make a progression out of pretty much anything.

You can find many discussions about that online, and it’s basically a BE / AE thing. In BE, it’s not correct, hence I’m annoyed a lot of the time.

I’d just like to thank you for writing “how big a deal” instead of the now ubiquitous “how big of a deal”. That would have really annoyed me.

Not yet…

Is that why bees can’t wear contact lenses?

Don’t be ridiculous–it’s obviously 1 child each. But what’s not clear from the article is how those who already have more than 1 decide which to get rid of before they turn 35.

It’s pretty nasty—loads from a 3rd party domain (termly.io) that is blocked by uBO, and I had to disable it to load at all. After that, it loads into an iframe with a src of https://app.termly.io/policy-viewer/iframe-content.html?policyUUID=97db19c6-7afc-444b-bd38-9a2ac329fcac which you can load directly and print. It still has all the user-select: none css settings applied so you can’t highlight / copy / paste, but that’s easy enough to remove in the inspector.

I remember hearing a story of a UN or EU real-time translator working German to English suddenly stopping, the English listeners looking a bit confused, and after another 15 or 20 seconds of hearing the German speaker continue with still no translation, just heard a whispered “the verb, dammit, the verb!” through their headsets.

‘Get her!’–that was your whole plan?

I didn’t see anything in there breaking it down to Europe specifically. It’s was -12% (after currency conversion) for EMEA, and -11% for North America.

You should read his wiki page–quite the rollercoaster from tax evasion, Wimbledon commentator, professional poker player, to prison.
