Huh. TIL. Thanks.

the belief that toilets in Australia flush in reverse

Isn’t this actually true? I remember reading that water circles the drain (and so toilet water will also circle) in the opposite direction from the Northern hemisphere.

Oh subtle. Nice.

100001111 = maybe not

lol ok. Have a nice day.

No I’m betting teacher, trainer or something aligned where they have to invent relatable analogies. That was top tier. I’d like to hear them explain the banking system, how money is invented from thin air by a mortgage, for example. Someone once explained it to me but it’s gone in the mists of time.

Edit: Also I don’t get the hate. Am not picking up ultra-capitalist screw the worker vibes. Maybe tone it down so people can just be themselves and chat?

I don’t know what you do for a living, but that’s the clearest and most engaging explanation of interest rationale I’ve ever heard. You’d be a great teacher.

Thanks!

Ok I’ve seen so many references to this episode, I now would like to watch it. What series/ep is it?

Genius. Love it.

A carpenter (at least in the UK) is going to be expected to be able to replace or repair joists, sash or bay windows, lats and other roofing and wall structures. Indoors or out.

It’s a big assumption that you can rely on power/bench tools. At some point you’re going to have to get the chisels, plane etc out.

lol what.

No.

I work in tech. But (long story) started with a few years of carpentry/joinery. It is not easy on the body, unless you’re just making small boxes or cabinets. And even then, it’s still not really that easy.

London, UK. Been to a taco place, and a Burrito place or two. Underwhelmed.

Any fellow Londoners care to recommend a decent Mexican place? There must be some here.

Small fry.

Oh bollocks. How do I cancel the voicemail I left Randolphilus.

Some background checks will look into your taxes and finances. Cousin Randy needs to be organised and rich.

Hmm yeah don’t do that with any job with decent background checks.

Yikes I didn’t appreciate how big the Dodge was until you pointed out the Volvo.

Again!
