Maybe it's a US thing? I just tried it and I pronounce them exactly the same.

Why is that bizarre? That's how you're supposed to pronounce it.

What's the phone on the left in that top image?

Edit: turns out it isn't a phone - it's a Gameboy Advance SP.

Hello fellow Protestant Christian! 😀

I'm a straight, overweight and hairy man in his mid forties. I love pink.

Especially because, as far as I can see, inflation isn't being caused by demand for necessaries. And, these days, an increasing number of people are pretty much only able to afford the basics necessities (if even that) did to talk terms pay cuts as a result of inflation.

Genuine question - how is this not racist?

What's your job?

The plural of Lego is Lego. 😜 Well done though!

When you finish college - keep making/playing/studying music. Play more rugby - when you're too old to play you'll wish you had. Don't sell your mandolin or your acoustic guitar. You'll regret them both in later years. Buy bitcoin.

It took my sleep deprived brain far too long (less than a second, but still) to realise this wasn't a genuine name change.

Ah memories! I wrote the project for my GCSE computer studies on this. I also wrote my friends project for 20 quid since our teacher was rubbish and hadn't actually taught anyone to program. Most of the other kids figured it out, but my friend was clueless and didn't want to completely fail the subject.

Reading "A Tale of Two Cities" for the first time.

My favourite drink after water (which is genuinely my favourite drink) is coffee. I don't think, however, that I would like to only drink coffee, so I suppose I will have to choose tea. Especially if I can have any variant

If I have to choose specifically then I'll say decaf Yorkshire tea.

I think it depends on your country. Here in the UK, for example, a college is usually an alternative to a school for GCSEs or A-levels. It can also be for specific vocational training - e.g. art college.

As far as I can tell - in the US college & university are synonymous. They also often use school to refer to the same place.

In the UK, if someone asked you where you went to school, you would assume they wanted to know what secondary (high) school you went to. It would never occur to you that they meant uni!

Nope - that's exactly my workflow too.

There is a "community edition" which is free.

You're more worried about bears, but most of us reading this were mostly concerned about vampires...

Any kind of snobbery/looking down on people - especially if it's based on income or occupation.

No shame in Mr Big. Paul Gilbert is a guitar hero!

Ok - almost no shame...
