Our personal workloads reduced because the industrialisation of agriculture meant we didn't have to grow our own food any more.

Not trying to defend capitalism, but it's disingenuous of you to imply that you don't get anything in return for working.

If you own multiple homes, then you can view all but one of them as an investment, as you can sell them when the market is good.

If you own one house and have a mortgage on it, then the market going down is bad because you end up with negative equity.

If you own one house with no mortgage, then the market going up is bad because it's harder to upgrade. I wouldn't mind my house being only worth £10,000 if it meant that I could buy my dream house for £20,000.

YouTube have such a stranglehold on the >1m market, that's why they can afford to stagnate in that area and look into other markets. They don't have to fear a competitor threatening their core market any time soon.

The problem with randomising the test order is that it compromises the reproducibility of results. If there are ordering issues, then your tests will sometimes fail and sometimes pass, but will developers look at that and think "ah there must be an ordering issue" or will they think "damn these flaky tests, guess I'd better rerun the pipeline"?

After Cars 2 I had very low expectations of Cars 3, unsurprisingly. It's a miracle that I was convinced to watch it. Yet somehow I was, and found it to be bloody good.

There's also talents that are byproducts of being born to wealthy parents

Because, of course, the things he's been doing up until this point have been indicative of a balanced personality.

We don't really know whether he's out of touch or not. What we do know for certain is that he's trying to get attention, and it is working.

Cloudpunk has really nice atmosphere but is highly linear, almost to the point of belonging to the "walking simulator" genre. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but just don't go in expecting much in terms of gameplay.

Unless you also have a burner device for using it from, Google definitely know that both of those accounts belong to you, and a TOS violation on one will cause both to be suspended anyway. They will quote the section of their TOS related to using another account to get around a suspension.

Well, if it's any consolation, I imagine that there are lots of companies out there who would be more than willing to pay you what you're worth.

I've been rewatching Third Rock From The Sun. It's held up beautifully. There's just the right amount of weird in it.

I loved the first season but loved the second even more. Richie's character development is exquisite.
