Which countries have the best flags in terms of flavour?

It’s always bottoms with you Americans.

It was a good while ago now, but the research I’ve seen into the issue seemed to show that income and happiness are correlated up to about £50k / year (median income was in the low 30s I think back then).

After that the “mo’ money, mo’ problems” effect becomes dominant.

I was going to say!

The OP was using the fancy new icons…

My pet peeve is this but for signage in general. Workers put out a temporary flood or road narrows sign, but forget to remove it again, the net effect is just people learn to not notice signs as much, and works against safety.

Still regularly see signs about masks obligatory, keep 2 m distance, and one-way systems from covid. They’re just part of the background now, people don’t even see them. And next time they’ll be that much less effective.

I didn’t think I had one, but when I read yours I remembered mine.

If I see someone parked carelessly all the way over in the side of the space, I’ll park nice and neatly right in the middle of the space next to them, not allowing any extra space for their selfishness. I’m OK with squeezing in and out, and my car is much older and less valuable than any of theirs if they damage it, so I feel like I’m doing society a small service by making my weird passive-aggressive point this way.

I’ve heard their wings can break your arm, so it might not be just as simple as that. Still probably a good first step. But if this happened when he’s out swimming where he can’t stand, that would be an advantage for the swan.

Why did you think crocs had holes that size? Haricot are probably the most widely eaten bean in western (croc-wearing) food cultures, so it seems like an obvious design choice.

Have heard some great ones in Glasgow. The best part of you slid down the inside of yer mother’s leg.

Always finish a shower with cold water!

What do you think it shows?

The Sopranos!

He quizzed it did he? That’s a pretty serious step.

Running a search uses far more resources (energy/ carbon footprint) than accessing a known url directly.

How’s it hangin’?

I’m so sure that this thing will happen, that I’m willing to make a bet whereby I’ll pay you dollars if it doesn’t happen, and you pay me donuts if it does. I feel like I’m getting free donuts and my dollars are not at risk.

A humerous combo of ‘Do bears shit in the woods?’ and ‘Is the Pope Catholic?’ Which are two jokey ways of saying ‘Yeah, obviously, duh’.

To clarify to your question, what’s inexpensive largely depends on what is already in your cupboards, but hitting those 4 areas will usually work out well.

I’ve seen a lot of good suggestions, but I wanted to point out the common theme that a marinade should have oil, salt, acid, and unami (savory/ meatiness). So for asian style maybe sesame oil, vinegar, Soy sauce (Soy sauce does salt + unami). Or my mum’s was orange juice, red wine, garlic, salt & pepper. I’d maybe add some Worcestershire sauce or olive brine for a bit extra unami, but smell it, taste it, go with your gut…

Interesting, what kind of jobs did you see that at in the uk? In my experience manual/ trades would try to finish up early on a Friday to go to the pub, but not have a beer at lunch then go back to work. And in offices it would be frowned on.
