If only YouTube ads were as unobtrusive as PornHub's.. one five-second-skippable ad before each video is all I've ever seen

City Planner: Hey, I'm just reviewing the plans for the traffic light control shed and that there's no way for the guy inside to see what the traffic's doing outside.

Architect, who forgot that windows exist: Err.. that's for .. well.. it's to ensure the safety of the operator during road rage incidents ... They'll be using CCTV to watch everything. Of course I know about windows haha..

Apparently, pickpockets sometimes put up signs earning of pickpockets, because it causes people to check their pockets for valuable items, showing which pockets they are in

Looking at my mum, dad and sisters drinking habits I can confirm this is true. Also, I'm NB and don't drink either

Many people who would be labelled "retarded" (as in, people with learning disabilities presenting external physical symptoms like Down's Syndrome) find the term offensive and say it is a slur. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, because they are not affected in the same way. It is a slur.

And you're old enough to be online? That doesn't seem correct

(This comment also serves to say how old I am)

There's nothing contradictory in what is written there.

But "Joe" doesn't sound anything like "Tom"

I own a real human skull; my parents gave it to me

It's about quantity, not quality. A prostitute can see, let's say, 10 people a day. Someone on OnlyFans can stream to a million people simultaneously

 

An option for me to buy a house has come up very suddenly and it seemed like a good idea at first - but I look at a mortgage and think "that's 15 years I'll spend paying back, at absolute minimum. Probably more like 25 years" - how can I possibly plan that far in advance?

So, how did you feel about getting a mortgage and seeing such a serious commitment stretch so far into the future? I'm mainly talking about the emotional side of things rather than financial

 

I've been driving a van for a couple of years now, but I'm much more used to driving a car. My van is heavier and has much less power than my car and I sometimes have trouble merging onto fast roads so I'm looking for any insight from more experienced van drivers.

I don't have rear windows or a rearview mirror (only side mirrors) so visibility isn't always great. The van's also pretty slow, so I'm usually only going 50-60mph as I merge. This isn't a problem on motorways because the slip roads are so long I can plan my spot to merge easily enough. On dual carriageways where the slip roads can be really short, it feels like all I can do is put my foot down and hope. There's sometimes only a few seconds where the sliproad and main road are lined up such that I can see traffic in my mirrors, and by then I'm pretty much stuck at whatever speed my poor van has given with my foot to the floor.

Bigger and heavier vehicles than mine merge safely all the time, so I must be missing something. I'm also fairly inexperienced with such slip roads because there are no examples near me. I only encounter them a couple of times a year.

 

Let's imagine it's currently Wednesday the 1st. Does "next Saturday" mean Saturday the 4th (the next Saturday to occur) or Saturday the 11th (the Saturday of next week)?

 

Let's say that it's scientifically proven that ghosts exist. Would they then stop being supernatural and become natural, thus making it impossible to ever have proof of the supernatural?
