I know this is supposed to be funny but you literally just called a little girl a thieving witch. It’s spiteful and mean, in contrast to the actual cute thing happening.

What is this life

Non-car expert here but do a lot of hill driving, for context. I engine brake to avoid the short term risk of the brakes overheating and failing at a critical point.

For a manual, going downhill is safer because you maintain speed control. If you go down in neutral, you have to lean on the brakes to control speed so you lose your advantage there.

I don’t get why we (the Brits) are being told to “be more afraid” when, like, that’s the aim of terrorism? And the best defence is “lol no” and carry on?

Mentally unstable lone wolf, right?

Not only did he leave his lighter in the fire, he’s done this indoors...

You could go for it with a wine-making airlock, perhaps? Let stuff out but not in?

Starred for nerdery. Will you let us know the results?

I saw that Coriolanus, and kinda understood the theatre vs. cinema snobbery. Kinda.

May be country-specific, but thank you notes are a very personal thing - for wedding gifts, not work business transactions.

No idea I’m afraid, though I wouldn’t be surprised..

Typo: it’s Teesside, as in the side of the Tees.

How about a bald eagle? Nobody can say that’s not ‘murican.

I have ended up patrolling the discounted plant sections and “rescuing” things.

I have been known to tailor my CV / application to the job advert by simply deleting some of the higher qualifications... It feels a bit shitty but a job is a job. Generally interviews for these low-level positions didn’t ask much about education, more like “will you get here by 3am?”

Now playing

Ask a Mortician has a few vids on talking to children about death, and about pet death. Perhaps there is something that could help you? I think she mainly talks about neurotypical kids but maybe it’s a starting point.

Great vid! Is it wrong to want to boop the snout?

Yes, let’s let the fox into the henhouse and with a bit of time they’ll all just get along.
