Buckfast isn't really something that gets marketed in Scotland, as far as I've ever seen. It's more just garnered that reputation as a drink that will get you buzzed on a night out really fast. I drank it when I was…
Yeah but people get upset when you point the fact out to them, sometimes. Bubbles are what OTHER people inhabit, see. We're all special and unique free-thinkers immune to unconscious biases. Or something.
Thanks, I was needing to feel a little better about the state of my country's government right now and this did the trick.
I didn't even need to click the link to know that Ireland was gonna be one of the three. It's like they have a vested interest, or something.
If you only ever read one book on slavery and the abolitionist movement, it really ought to be 'Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass'. I can remember reading it for the first time at uni as part of a module on…
By "people of Saudi Arabia", he's meaning the rich elites and the princes. I lived in that country for a couple of years. The wealth gap there is truly staggering.
Which is a real shame, all things considered. I feel like the author is latching onto some of the most extreme examples of the worst Reddit's ever had to offer and then holding them up as if that's all the site ever was…
Honestly, I preferred the manga to the anime. Not to say that the latter is bad, by any stretch of the imagination, but it did get a bit wild and off-the-rails with it's final arc. The manga keeps things very grounded…
I think it's pretty telling as to what sort of person I am, that I initially read the title as "How the 1,500 Hit Point Koenigsegg Regara" rather than "How the 1,500 Horse Power Koenigsegg Regara".
Yeah, I'm probably giving them the benefit of the doubt in assuming that they're being stupid rather than outright malicious. The same is likely true here in the UK, given that they've had tech experts yelling at them…
I know Australians like to joke about how they have an Old Man Government that likes to pass legislation about things it doesn't really understand, but even by the lofty standards it's set this is ridiculous. And I…
Star Citizen, aka Feature Creep: The Game.
Very true. I've done admin/community management roles in the past, and it's safe to say that vast majority of work in such areas involves checking/replying to emails.
I can't help but think there's some truth to all the talk about people growing tired of the same mechanics being used in essentially every Telltale game after the first series of The Walking Dead. Going from personal…
I mean, hundreds of people laid off, some of whom had only recently moved their entire lives across country for their roles, is kind of a sad end mate.
Jesus, I knew their sales had been rocky but I didn't realise HOW rocky. I guess the formula they had for games didn't really pay off across multiple instances.
The SNP aren't going to be willing to make such an overt bid to join the EU as an independent state any time soon, even if they manage to achieve the latter, given that a sizeable minority of their supporters actually…
The Economist did some great reporting on this a few months back, and it's good to see that the issue is starting to get even more notice across the world. The Chinese government are basically building a massive…
I've never read Ruby's Conduct Guidelines before, but they look really well-suited to open source projects. Short, simple, to the point.
