That's pretty cool if that means a change in diet can be a viable treatment

Always forget printers exist but can't say I'm surprised. Added this to the list of exceptions and made the title more accurate

Any specific service you've seen doing this?

I've not experimented as much with cloud providers or non-American companies so not yet sure if this is a byproduct of industry practice, market pressures on public companies or legal requirements and counter examples could help

I should also point out the good: many of them (like Netflix) are very open about how cancelation works once one goes to that section of their site

 

Amazon Prime is particularly heinous about using dark patterns to confound users into risking forgetting but ultimately you've already paid for the month, year

I can confirm this to also be the case with most streaming giants plus the less-giant Shutter

Edit: comments have pointed out some notable exceptions such as services through Apple and HP Instant Ink

Once again, I am asking any random Aussie for help: What is an "awards wage"?

I thought it'd be akin to a tipped minimum wage but it sounds more like an alternate floor for various industries but I can't find anything explaining it plainly

Linguistics

In UK English, it's considered proper to write "the 6th of March" as "6 March" and sometimes read as "6th March" which can be jarring to Americans as their shorthand is "March 6th" and when "6(th) March" is encountered in written form, it's expanded to the full "6th of March" when spoken

That doesn't mean this won't be yet another feature American English absorbs from UK English but right now flipping them in speech requires a few extra syllables and people are lazy

Blood under the Sand

I know what everybody is thinking: 50 Cent Blood on the Sand, but that's a misconception, you actually mean 50 Cent Bulletproof--the one other, and less perfect, of the 2 games that exist

 
 
 
 

I thought this would be dead simple but trying to label a road as "bike-friendly" isn't as intuitive as one would hope (am I "adding" a road even though it's technically there or reporting "wrong info" piece by piece?)
