I feel like we’re talking about different plants because that shouldn’t work at all. Knotweed can survive very harsh condition. Unless you’re digging out the rhizomes, there’s no way to “cut it completely” really.


Then you’re lucky. Our government tried this and failed miserably. The rhizomes grow pretty deep and are very resistant, so burning and cutting shouldn’t really do much.




Actually had a terrible experience with star labs, not recommended


I’ve always found this very weird in the US. In Europe they come to the table, we tap the scanner and if it’s over a certain threshold, you need to enter your PIN. Most larger transactions require your PIN these days.


The last Simpsons season is actually fairly decent, but the obvious older voices are pretty distracting.


No I think he means Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon.

And calling it a cover is generous. He stole the music but replaced the lyrics with some boomer content.


I got a building in the back that’s my WFH location (and home brewery).

Helps me split work from home.

But even if you don’t have the physical space, it’s not to hard to set some boundaries for yourself.

I’ve found it quite easy to keep one from another, with the sole exception being other people. If you have other people around, it gets a lot harder.


Hey, having to avoid these pesky e-bikes on the public road without braking is very dangerous! /s


Like I said, if they’re accustomed to bad infrastructure, why would they expect it elsewhere?

Besides that, tourists often travel in group. Even the best infrastructure can’t accommodate a large bus of tourists are once. I’ve been to Japan, the more touristy places actually have signs specifically addressing the Chinese on what not to do, so it does point at it being a larger problem there.


I imagine China doesn’t have the infrastructure Japan has and they’re simply doing what they’re accustomed to doing when travelling their own country.


I doubt it.

Americans and Brits tourists here in Europe do indeed have a certain reputation, but Chinese tourists have such a bad reputation that Brits and Americans are welcomed with open arms.

The biggest problem are the groups though. Any group is going to behave badly, nationality doesn’t matter. And that in combination with how different Chinese culture is in some aspects just has given them a bad reputation worldwide.


It’s not a console, stop expecting console prices. A $1000 price point wouldn’t even surprise me.



No, if I’m correct, the reveal was that the J stands for “Jay”


It’s reminds me of those Blues Brothers scenes where the police vehicles just keep on piling up.

Accidents when foggy/snowy/… happen everywhere but I’ve never heard of these big pileups anywhere outside of the US. Really makes me wonder what’s going on in their heads when conditions are bad.


Luckily for her, giving your contacts a multimillion contract for software they didn’t even deliver I’d apparently not even a crime at all.


Doesn’t mean people are attentive throughout though. I think it were Netflix execs that are currently pushing writers to constantly reiterate plot points because people aren’t paying attention.


Apparently you don’t even have the attention span to read through the article
