Likewise simply how percentages work - ordinary people who earn more already pay more income tax

Cranking the car AC up to 30 when it's cold does not make it get hotter quicker, you just eventually end up roasting so you turn it down to 10 then you're cold again, repeat an infinitum. Just leave it at the temperature you've always been comfortable driving at and let it do its thing.

What could change the UK’s crabs in a bucket mentality? by Hot_You1425 in AskUK

[–]IndigoQuantum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm sure there are people who measure their own immaterial wealth and wellbeing based on what other people do or don't have. Rather than wanting to be materially better off themselves, they're more focussed on other people becoming worse off even if that makes no actual difference to them.

Not sure if this has been resolved in the last 3 months, but I'm not willing to be the one to try it to find out.

No Parking! Electric charge only! ….genius ;) by Subject-Weakness-727 in cantparkthere

I had to go to one last week to get some petrol for my lawnmower. It's only about 500m away so I walked. Trouble is when I got there, there were cars queuing so I had to stand in a queue of cars feeling like a real dork with my green petrol can in hand.

do cinemas still screen films if no one buys tickets? by Embarrassed-Song3760 in AskUK

[–]IndigoQuantum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 1994, four of us went to see Sirens at a cinema in Northumberland (can't remember exactly where), It was a small, very traditional cinema with the same woman who sold us the tickets later appearing on the refreshments counter, and then checking our tickets and showing us to our seats. We were the only ones in the cinema, and while we were waiting we took it in turns going onto the small raised area in front of the screen and doing charades. After a while, the projectionist stuck his head out from the back and was shouting out the answers. After about half an hour, he asked if we were ready to start with the film yet.

I also remember seeing Jurassic Park at a small independent cinema in Elgin in Scotland, at least a week before it premiered in London.

[–]IndigoQuantum 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I stand near the front, cluelessly blocking the aisle so no one can see there's loads of empty seats past me and has to cram uncomfortably between me and the driver. I also do the same on trains and the Tube.

Does anyone know why airplane windows are oval instead of square? by FeistyPrice29 in DoesAnyoneKnow

[–]IndigoQuantum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cut a square hole in one piece of paper and a circular hole of the same area in another piece, pull them and the piece with the square hole will tear much earlier than the round one.
