  • I did something similar, deliberately.

    Bought a car, it’s tyre repeatedly deflated every 3 days, kept taking it into the garage and they said they’d fix it each time. Third time, drop car off, they tried telling me its the cold weather thats causing ONE tyre to keep going down.
    I tell them thats bullshit, take their courtesy car for the day, I had a 40mile commute each way. The hire car had 20miles of fuel in it so had to find a garage quick.

    When I returned it that night, I had to nurture it home, and it ticked over to 0 miles left as I free-wheeled into their forecourt. I had some satisfaction that day. That day, they actually fixed the tyre.


  • The test can identify with 96 percent accuracy which women with sometimes-vague symptoms will develop preeclampsia within the following two weeks

    Excellent news. Having had friends suffer from pre-eclampsia, it’s a very stressful and scary condition, being able to rule it out for many is as good as being able to predict those with it.





  • This is it.

    I’ve had an awful experience recently with an ex-friend, caught having an “affair” with his 16yr old employee. He’s mid 40s. Turns out, the only illegal part is that there’s pictures. He can fuck girls still at school legally, but he can’t send her or request any pictures. It’s insane.

    Another layer is that the age of consent rises 18, but ONLY if you’re in a school, healthcare, care-taking, Religion or sports club setting. According to the law, being her Boss doesn’t mean he’s in a Position of Trust or a Position of Authority over her. Yet, he plainly is.












  • Replaced by whom?

    I get that some people will step up into being Mods, but modding is hard and thankless work - I’ve done it a few times over the years.

    There’s always subs crying out for new Mods, so you’ll end up scraping the barrel for Mods, then the quality will go down, people will get pissed off. With thousands of Subs suddenly needing modding, there’s simply not enough volunteers to go around.

    One of Reddits unsung resources was its army of Mods keeping the content of some quality (define that as you will). Reddit really is cutting its nose off right now.
