"However some scientists worry countries are placing too much faith in tech that has not been fully tested."

No shit, why are we relying on android data from phones vibrating, surely places prone to earthquake should have actual scientifically accurate earthquake detectors and a government-led way of issuing the warning, like they do here every first Monday of the month when testing the raid alarms.

To be fair it looks like Richard was his second name, so it must've been a conscious decision on his part to use it as his usual name.

I was like "wow these look exactly like Mikado" but after further scrolling I see that is the sub-brand they use in Europe, also belongs to them. Mikado is also a game where you take a bunch of sticks in a bundle, drop them on a table then you have to remove them one by one without touching/moving the others, kind of like Jenga.

That's still one of my favourite memes of all time tbh.

Common shag is fantastic.

Cool poster, love how understated it is.

Like most of her stuff haha. Some of the purely decorative stuff is fine since it's not meant to have any function, but I don't recall seeing her make anything actually practical haha. Still love everything they make though.

We were a couple right away so no existing friendship beforehand but within the relationship, that's kinda how it works yeah!

That's the gist of the success of my marriage. Even before we met, we both had reached a point of maturity where we were confident in ourselves as single people, and then from that solid base you can build the relationship in a healthy way. We both try to be the best to our partner, while being ultimately independent. These over-jealous people are using their relationship as a crutch for life so they're terrified of it going wrong. Either that or they're guilty themselves and projecting.

None of these ever worked on me. I see Reddit started doing it too btw.

The best is to mix, in my neighborhood in the Netherlands you have some free standing single family homes, big apartments, small apartments, row houses (what we have), mix of social/private, and with shops available on foot/bike. This is in a "village" a bit outside the big towns. Suburbs have basically the same format with a bit higher apartment towers but you get the public transport directly to the center on top (and pay accordingly for the privilege). Now unfortunately, good planning and infrastructure is only one part, because the prices are definitely crazy here as well and it's a big issue, but that's due to the capitalism aspect of it, not the urban planning.
