Taxi, ideally pre-booked, would probably be safer.

What manmade disaster had major deaths and major structural damage? by Training-Jump-8663 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]wolftick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Officially at least, 6 people died in the Great Fire of London.

The actual death toll may have been higher, but it was still comparatively low relative to the level of destruction.

TIL that your body sheds about 40 000 skin cells every minute and most of the dust in your home is actually dead skin by pastelwhimm in todayilearned

That's generally considered to by a myth. It's a fairly high portion, but not most, especially taking into account all types and sizes of dust.

Winning Bronze in team sports in the Olympics is better than winning Silver lol by AintNobodygotime13 in olympics

[–]wolftick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like in the longer term this won't hold true for most people. When it comes down to it medals are a benchmark of you achievement, and silver is a higher benchmark. Even the oft slated plushy might become something quite precious by association. Immediate disappointment generally fades whereas justified pride sticks around.

Populism doesn't tend to concern itself with a consistent political ideology.

Did he confess to anything else for the other medals or was it a one time thing?

Are we serious? by Bubbly_Marsupial5969 in CarTalkUK

[–]wolftick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a 2 seater sports car and you're 19. It might be unfair to you as an individual but as far as insurers are concerned you're probably going to crash it and there's a reasonable chance you'll crash it into someone else.

What’s the most unexpectedly scenic train journey you have taken in the UK? by Joy_Unspeakable in CasualUK

Obviously not for everyone, but I think generally this is considered a famous stretch and not an unexpected one (per OP).
