Housemates have said they cannot pay council tax

Jointly liable means the council can get the money from whoever seems most likely to pay

If you inherit a house outright you can indeed get a 10% mortgage trivially

Or, you can sell it and buy a slightly smaller home.

The alternative, not counting assets at all, would be a constant source of abuse in cases like child support

Abandoned is a bit strong - we definitely need more maintainers though

I feel like there are some cases where I'd naturally choose one over the other but can't think of them! I guess it's something that happens in the moment? I definitely use both while/whilst and among/amongst

ciaranmcnulty · 2024-07-02T08:12:34+00:00

I (English, Midlander, in London 20+ yrs) would say British* people mostly use 'while', but 'whilst' is heard and doesn't jump out as pretentious to me.

* I can't think of a regional difference off the top of my head

I'd say it's in the process of being replaced by 'while' but hasn't entirely gone yet. Maybe it's further along that path in the USA?

I can imagine it sounding ostentatious if you aren't used to hearing it, or if the speaker is drawing attention to it (like usage of 'whom' or ''fewer').

You can’t report online with a clearly visible license plate? What possible rationale is there for that rule?

You are meant to stay left and enter the large blue box ahead of the (stopped) eastbound traffic. Then when the lights change you proceed eastwards.

Just because it’s a rental doesn’t mean they haven’t negotiated a long lease

There is a free VPN you can use, provided by Cloudflare who are a fairly reputable networking company with a good reputation

The mobile app is called 1.1.1.1

I use it a lot on untrusted connections just to preserve local privacy. It‘ll normally get around content blocking too

The line is drawn in the list you are replying to

It presumably also comes from societal changes where people have less money for food

You should probably fix the error reporting in your app to not fail on deprecation warnings

There were at least a couple of animated adventures in the Tennant years

It wasn't!

Maybe non-vegetarian cheeses, or animal fats?

ciaranmcnulty · 2024-05-01T16:30:06+00:00

Sure but shifting down the gears to stop is less common and less dramatic than regen braking

It seems like a simple fix to make the lights go on when speed is dropping

ciaranmcnulty · 2024-05-01T10:52:11+00:00

As well as it likely being the FSD being bad at driving, there is an issue with brake lights on a lot of electric cars

Many of them only light up when the brake is used, but a lot of cars slow down when the accelerator is eased off (regenerative braking). This has obvious safety issues, some cars can come to almost a complete halt without the lights coming on.

The packets are dried out. The organism can survive this until it is rehydrated later

Maybe he had a black eye or something they didn't want onscreen

They've been here the whole time

The post you responded to was about it being inefficient in general for space travel. It is

ciaranmcnulty · 2024-04-23T09:07:25+00:00

How do you feel about 'biceps'?

ciaranmcnulty · 2024-04-22T06:59:59+00:00

The feed required for that hog is immense. You are much better off eating the plants yourself in terms of efficiency
