    Americans use PEMDAS, in the UK we use BODMAS, and I assume other English speaking countries use one or the other, but there is no difference between them in terms of order of operations, because it’s:

    1. brackets (parenthesis)

    2. orders (exponentials)

    3. division & multiplication (multiplication & division), performed left to right

    4. addition & subtraction, performed left to right

    People who choose to divide or multiply first because of the acronym have just forgotten that they go together left to right.


  • The problem with the twitch model is as soon as you are watching more than one person regularly, Twitch Turbo is cheaper to get rid of ads from everyone.

    Plus if you just want to add extra support for someone, YouTube does already have the members feature which generally adds more value than twitch subscriptions

    Spotify Premium Family is £18pm. YouTube Premium Family is £20pm.

    So I view it as £2pm to remove YouTube ads for the whole family as well as enabling YT offline and background play.

    I think that’s a good deal, particularly given as a family we watch more YT than any other TV service, however if you’re not willing to pay for a music service I can see how you might feel differently about that


  • I’ve driven around the Western side of Germany a few times and there really weren’t many sections that were unrestricted, and those that were unrestricted were not that long, and often very busy. Anecdotally, I did ask about it the first time I went and the advice I got was that while it is technically unrestricted you should be going at a similar speed to the traffic around you. If there are people in the middle lane and you blast past them at double their speed, that could be seen as unsafe by police and get you in trouble.

    The hard part isn’t cooking at home, assuming you can cook and the household eats the same - it’s eating out, eating with friends, visiting others. It always adds that extra layer of complexity to simple things, and regularly invites the same old conversations.

    Not saying it’s impossible of course, but without some conviction to stick to it and be strong enough not to bow to peer pressure (which is really hard for most people), it’s difficult.



  • Interesting, did not know this. Do you also have different licence classifications? One of the reasons I think manuals are common here in the UK (or atleast cheaper* cars tend to be manual) is because you have to pass your test in a manual to be able to drive a manual car - if you pass in an automatic you can only drive those, so naturally everyone’s first car is a manual so you’re not restricted later in life on what you can buy or rent, or if you just need to drive a friend’s car or something.

    *Cheaper here means small hatchbacks. Once you get into the price range of more luxury cars the price difference between manual and automatic is either negligible or automatics become cheaper depending on the model.


  • It makes no difference, kids will be kids and if there is nothing to make fun out of your real name they’ll come up with nicknames until they find one you don’t like. Whatever it is they come up with, you just have to own it.
