nah its not whoever's putting the bags in, it's either management deciding it's too inefficient to deal with two streams, or the people using the bins weren't capable of separating so just threw it wherever and so it all ended up mixed anyway

I think you're attributing more to organisation than is deserved

I mean there does have to be something there and while I prefer charities, fake companies or promoting your own products, if they're not targeted and realistic so you see eg. Ethiad ads while playing as City I don't think that's too bad... But on loading screens, menu screens or as popups gtfo, even if it's your own product

Same for May in UK and probably a fair few former territories, but I think some places get two days off (Spain?) which may be even better

edit: the UK actually should be yellow here, as there's no Labour Day at all, but there is a public holiday on the 1st Monday in May, whereas green means Labour Day exists but can't fall on 1st May

Console means a type of support in some contexts via Latin consolor "to alleviate, lighten" so I'd bet it comes from there as it probably originated as an armrest

I mean it depends on where... In London the taxis, although expensive and often not the politest to other road users, are nearly universally great service for the customer (and mathematically it very rarely makes sense to run up the meter due to how demand and the fare system works) and also pay the drivers a decent wage as they generally don't have a middleman to pay other than the government for their licence

That said, in the US (specifically New York) my experience was that ubers are generally nicer than taxis, but it's definitely not universal

Nah, it's just a very generic address at a custom domain, so I imagine they just have scripts to email {enquiries, admin, info, help, etc.}@abc.xyz or something

I mean I've used the photo of my passport I've had favourited on my phone whenever my passport number/a scan of my passport has been needed for about the last 10 years, so it's at least an inconvenience to just delete them rather than moving them to documents/files or whatever

It's always in the term after mismanagement that the effects are felt, eg. in the UK how the tories are raising funding sky high for everything, then will inevitably blame Labour for both underspending and making cuts when they get in later this year

Reason 3674 why representative democracy absolutely sucks

AirBnB?

You can't buy a house on amazon...

Should be from workers' perspective, but 3-1-4-2 is still a win for pretty much everyone as it would most likely improve productivity potentially more than 4-3 while also giving "more" (marginally, but still about 4 days per year) time off than 5-2

The dirty/worn out trains are old, but also ate getting replaced... The circle, district and metropolitan lines have fairly nice trains and the trains on the victoria and jubilee are just fine... The bakerloo having 50 year old worn out trains is a problem well over 13 years old, and the fact that their replacements were organised under tory leadership is directly at odds with what you're saying but I take it you'll give all the credit to the Labour PM when the new trains do arrive?

I'm not in favour of the tories or austerity any more than the next guy, but misrepresentation like this is just gonna make it worse as nobody takes note when they do anything actually good, so they go elsewhere to win votes
