A lot of leave voters were so sure that remain would win that they disregarded the negative consequences because they wouldn’t actually happen. They voted leave to show that they weren’t happy with the status quo.

This is no joke. I had a cheap usb-c cable catch fire when plugged into my laptop.

You could say the same about ewoks.

No it means instead of review bombing a game, you reinstall bomb it to cost the publisher a load of money.

A cup of coffee also has about 2g of fibre, which is actually quite a lot in the context of the average American diet of highly processed food. IIRC the average American only eats about 15g of fibre per day - which is fucking terrible BTW.

Bristol to London is about 1hr20m, ok it’s 185km so a bit longer, but the cost of a peak time return is £252.80. So it could be worse if your country decided to privatise the rail services, a natural monopoly, while keeping infrastructure and strike costs public.

To put it another way, imagine your blood pressure meds are preventing you from going out and getting a girlfriend. You & your doctor are going to be seriously considering whether or not the health benefit of that drug outweighs the side effects, and if there’s another treatment option worth trying that might have better overall outcomes.

And since the school is in the middle of a residential neighborhood, there’s not really any other use of the sidewalks either…

As a European, this statement sounds completely insane. I honestly can not comprehend how a nation got to the point of saying “we don’t need to be able to walk somewhere from our house so lets not bother building sidewalks”.

You and your daughter should cycle to school though. If she’s not old enough to go on her own bike, take her with a trailer bike. If she’s too young for that then a child seat, and when she’s old enough she can cycle on her own.

The idea of using a car to go 900m is just crazy to us.

For a family of 5, a station wagon is more practical than an SUV or a truck. For a family of 6+, a minivan is the better choice. For people who need to haul a lot of stuff, a van is the best option. Americans just have an unhealthy obsession with massive vehicles and trucks. The only time an SUV or truck is the better option is when driving off-road. And that only applies to SUVs and trucks that are actually designed to be driven off-road, which is a small minority.
