I recently watched Utopia, British show about a super secret group putting naughty stuff in a vaccine.
Their plan hinged on every person being so afraid of a pandemic that everybody takes the vaccine. This was made pre COVID of course, because we now know that would never work.
What it basically comes down to is there are several native languages in the United Kingdom - English, Welsh, Gaelic, Scots, Cornish and more - but only English is respected on the whole.
He's not even asking for every ticket to come in both languages, just to be sent one in Welsh when asked for. I think it should be a legal requirement to provide any document in any home language requested, personally.
That's why bandcamp is one of the few places I'll willingly spend money on digital media. DRM-free downloading in flac format? Yes please.
AdGuard Home, it's a DNS level ad blocker similar to PiHole
Had a very similar experience at the end of last year. Was sick of the bullshit all the providers were pulling and set up jellyfin.
Now running that on a pi so we've got our own streaming platform with movies and shows that you'd either need at least three separate services for or just outright won't find if you don't pirate.
Did the same thing in November with MX Linux. Haven't needed to boot into Windows once.
I used to eat steak well done until I made it myself for the first time and massively misjudged the timings. Came out medium rare and it was amazing. Do it that way every time now.
But people acting like well done steak is a crime against nature is so bizarre.
Man is too much for me. I can't handle that many words at once, which is why I like using tldr
I'm assuming you mean big ideas like inventing the television and not two people thinking "hey let's get pizza!" at the same time.
The rational: If you consider that at any point in time, the average person was facing the same problems as all the other average people, it is not too unreasonable to think that two people could think of the same solution since they were facing the same problem and likely had similar life experiences and education.
The cynical: We're not as unique as we think we are.
Because they seemed like a good deal when they first came around, and they were, so they boomed in popularity. Then everyone started offering them, the prices got jacked up and now you'll struggle to find an alternative.
Also, the very very short answer: More money
They must have been really desperate to make that jab because "slipping up" has been a common phrase for decades (at least in the UK). So the "up" has been dropped and we're left with "slipping", if it takes a native English speaker more than ten seconds to work it out I'd be worried for their cognition.
Britain doesn't use commas for decimal points, that's a mainland European thing.
