    The boomer meme is quite old, started gaining traction in 2016 post general election. It especially popular in the us, since boomers experienced an ever growing economy whilst millennials havent.

    I’ve had my 6 since release its now starting to show its age. The trick with iPhones is getting a replacement through applecare right before it finishes. I am now thinking of getting whatever comes in 2019, however I have the feeling the 2020 model will be something special.

    If she wants to do engineering I would recommend further maths. I did it sort of self taught and helped me during my degree. As others have said parts of it are really challenging, since they only make sense if you have completed some bits of the core maths module.

    As others have said Ryanair won’t ha duke the bikes, it’s the airport personnel. I’ve taken my bike back and forth a couple of times and haven’t had an issue with them.

    It’s 30kg with a hard limit on 32kg since the airport will not handle anything above 32kg.

    You are going to get lots of varied responses. I would personally climb to thr mast through black, go down Carl’s lane and do the big long descent, then go up to spooky woods and do te marked red. This route is not technically challenging unless you want to to run it really fast. This should be about 30km and 800m of climbing if memory serves right.

    Six Nations. As a foreigner I dont really understand rugby, but neither do most of the british people that seem to watch it. It also always seem to bring up conversations about the NFL, even though they are completely different spors.

    Thats unlucky OP, I’ve done my fair amouunt of driving in France and never been caught. I find that its sometimes hard to speed in France since drivers will break well before a speed camera and stay on that speed for at least another 2 minutes.

    As some have already suggested a Satnav or a satnav app is really the best option. I have used Waze and really can’t fault it, I know in one of my roadtrips around Spain it was a life saver. It shows you the legal speed of the road, were speed cameras are positioned and also if there are any hazards on the road-such as vehicles stopped on the side.

    @tenfoot are you perhaps carrying a 6 pot and driving like ColinMcRae round every bend? If your driving is normal then they are truly shitty tyres, I got just under 18k miles from my stock ones.

    At these temperatures a £20 fan should be more than enough.

    You are paying for the apple premium. I personally found the peripherals( and cables) to be very inferior to pc alternatives and also less durable than their MacBooks. £80 gets you on mechanical keyboard territory and £66 will get you almost any mouse which will be several times more comfortable to use. They are still much better than the standard peripherals that come with the usual i5 leased computers…

    Each family is different. I personally wouldn’t be happy either with the arrangement, in my experience grandparents are always excited to take care of grandchildren, then again I wasn’t brought up in the uk…..

    @phil5556 I had somehow missed the laptop bit, in that case I don’t really know tbh.

    Some laptops come from stock with very poor thermal management. In addition the paste tends to degrade and dust will accumulate around the fans which wont help the situation.

    If it’s just the noise you could swap the stock fans for some noctua fans which are incredibly quiet.

    Its a LLS bike with all its pros and cons, however it is livelier than the 27.5 version. I personally love it.

    What you describe is the inability to comprehend and adapt to social situtaions, either by talking too much because you want to give a specific answer(when the person asking may not want that much detail) or talking too little (the answer doesnt need to be long). The social correct way to answer would be to take into account the situation you are in.

    People with autistic traits should to a certain extent train themselves to understand social conventiones, even if they seem nonsensical. I know I did this and live a much happier life.

    Up the black, down zorro, up the climb again and down the long descent starting at Carl’s lane and ending a almost on the road. Then do the red marked loop. This will give you a bit of natural and marked trails. For the silly steep stuff there’s always inners and golfie. Most of the trails are in trailforks.

    My drive and neighbours gets blocked every day by the same parent, when collecting his kid. It doesn’t really affect me since I get in for work very early however it does irritate me since there are several other parking options that would bother no one less than 50m away from the door.

    I’d be pissed off too, I would write an email and explain what is the result that would satisfy you.

    Its sad that new development isn’t trying to accommodate for cycling as well. Whilst I am not sure of the suitability of redesigning our network, new planning should always consider cycling.

    The rental market is quite weird, I have seen lots of houses that arent being rented, yet price doesn’t go down. I wonder what they would do if the supply of housing was artificially constrained.

    I do like it, I am lucky to work in R&D. In fact if I won the lottery, I’d try to do the same thing that I do, but in a different location. I tend to stick to my hours-which is something that my workplace encourages.

    I continuously try to work on increasing my efficiency, especially on the e-mails and meetings department, since that’s where I reckon a lot of the fat could be trimmed off.

    The only thing I dislike is H&S requirements, why wouldn´t they just take my word when I tell them that everything is going to be okay and that their multimillion pound equipment will also be okay…

    I’ve used pro endurance in 25 and 28, the 28 were definitely comfier, however they felt marginally slower than the 25.

    Get a granite with distinctive two tones in a darker overall colour, my parents have had this for more than 20years, its great and easy to clean, stains don’t show as much as they would in a pure black granite.

    I would give up the car for commuting and cycle everyday other than for bad weather if the roads around me weren’t as sketchy as they are. I know my gf would do this too for the hotter months.

    What on earth does colorblind racism mean? and please explain how my analysis leads to it?

    Its not discriminatory, its just an unsustainable HR policy. In the situation you describe, who gets the best holidays is allocated on the basis of who is the keenest to book them, or who gets earlier to the office. On the other hand, your wife working in the NHS-as does my gf so I feel for you, shouldn’t affect your companies policy.

    Think strategically as what an ideal outcome looks like, and then assess what is actually achievable, only after speaking to HR.

    edit: just noticed you said 2021, booking up all holidays that way when you know the rest of the team also has those needs is just being a right ****. Also you shouldn’t have to cover for someones maternity, the extra workload involve isn’t your problem.

    @binners

    I already answered, that assuming you are correct, it’s not leftist dogma. Say they increase the police numbers sufficiently, targeting the high crime areas, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was then criticized for some politically correct reason.

    As for who bares the brunt of the cuts, maybe there wasn’t much to cut from in those places?

    The line managers(Labour) blaming everything on upper management (Tory) just seems like a far too comfortable position to sit in. It seems that the attitude provides no incentive to be as effective as possible.

    @binners

    You are jumping to a lot of conclusions, in order to satisfy your last point, of which if your conclusions are correct then your point is a good argument. That specific point as a whole wouldn´t be marxist no, however again I ask, are any of these Labour constituencies? If so should they be held responsible to any degree?

    Also stop selecting small sections to give you an excuse to hit with a quick reply and please explain that Alan Partridge reference.

    @kilo

    Whilst your point is valid, it is still to some extent discriminating based on skin. You are in effect assuming that a person with a particular skin colour, will have experienced what you consider the typical challenges associated to having that skin colour, and as such have first hand knowledge that otherwise would not be available.
