Welcome home.

I thought the USA was where it was called Spelunking. In the UK it’s called Potholing because of the small entrances to vertical caves, or caving.

Fucks sake politics is such playground bullshit: who cares if the Tories started the initiative just release the damn beavers already.

Is the egg in the recipe list only for the egg wash, or is it in the dough?

Thanks for posting this, I was planning on making some next weekend!

That was the point of the original game though right? To show how quickly it becomes imbalanced and players who got lucky early on easily ended up winning.

Monopoly is derived from The Landlord’s Game, created in 1903 in the United States by left-wing feminist Lizzie Magie, as a way to demonstrate that an economy rewarding individuals is better than one where monopolies hold all the wealth.

Yeah apologies, that’s a good point - thanks for adding more context!

Yeah it says in the link it’s a rough draft of the cartoon that got rejected which is probably why it looks a bit shopped.

IDK why people say they have better privacy: They just settled a lawsuit over evesdroping using Siri. I think they probably have less interest than Google in selling data for advertising, mostly likely using it internally for their ecosystem so they probably come across more privacy focused but I assume they snoop just as much as any other big tech company.

This one has always been a goosebumps track for me.

Yeah it looks like it could be Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage mixed together.

The birth of the internet and the birth of the world wide web are two differnet things though: The world wide web started in 1989.

Title is misleading, FTA:

Confirmation that I am 63% British and Irish, 17% Danish and otherwise “broadly north-western European”. I felt a resounding ambivalence about the results, including some disappointment that I had not discovered a newfound heritage – a piece of information that would give my identity new dimension.

But also:

My father’s side of the family is meticulous about tracking our ancestry, with records that hold the name of the exact small village in Ireland our ancestors hail from.

Those results often can’t narrow down to exact countries so it says he’s 63% British and Irish. Seeing as his fathers family has records of being from a small Irish town it’s likely he’s more Irish that British, not that it means anything if you’re actually American anyway.
