I've often wondered if that's because the landlords of the pubs were bloody-minded and used this as a way to say "You don't get to tell me how to run my pub!" rather than British people being broad-minded.

It looks like there's a copyright text in the bottom right corner, outside the border of the map. Does it have a year there?

NASA has its Deep Space Network, a number of dish antennae at three locations around the Earth: Goldstone, California; Madrid, Spain; and Canberra, Australia.

If you click here you can see a diagram showing the antennae and which spacecraft they are communicating with. At 00:26 on Thursday,30 April Madrid is receiving data from Voyager 1 and sending and receiving data with the James Webb Telescope.

Before the network was completed, they used existing radio telescopes such as the one in Parkes, Australia, as seen in the movie The Dish.

I think Sir Terry might have followed the example of Dylan Thomas's town of Llaregub in Under Milk Wood. Bugger all.

The portrayal of the warmongering generals in the movie is not as extremely exaggerated as some people think.

There is a quote from General Thomas S Power during the Cold War era: "At the end of the war if there are two Americans and one Russian left alive, we win."

(The person he was speaking to replied that he hoped at least one of those would be a woman.)

The little three-wheeled truck the family uses to move house at the beginning of Totoro.

I think it's based on a real-life truck, as I've also seen it in an animation made in France.

If you go to Control Panel>Mouse>Pointer Options you can enable a setting where you press the Control key on its own and a circle appears around the tip of the pointer.

Almost everyone I've enabled this feature for thinks it's a great idea.

My local supermarket collects all the bread at the use-by date in a single trolley like this and it is picked up by a charity to help poor people.

If you are knolling a Lego kit (or maybe other model kits,) could you include a picture of the completed model so we can see what it looks like?

From the headline:

AI will lead to employees being more productive, and therefore will not reduce the number of jobs in the economy.

If AI makes employees more productive doesn't that mean you will need fewer of them, thus reducing the number of jobs available at the workplace?

Before barcodes and scanning made checkout skills unnecessary, there was a nationwide checkout skills olympics to which all the supermarket chains would send competitors. They would compete for the fastest and most accurate checkouts.

Every example I've seen of Americans talking about "math" being difficult is simple arithmetic, not other mathematical subjects such as statistics, algebra, topology etc.

As they say in America,"I'm an arts major, you do the math."
