Well this is a car crash waiting to happen... Roku's technology HQ is based in my home City of Cambridge UK. This is a very liberal area compared to a lot of the UK, or at least the kind of people who work for tech companies are. I can't imagine too many people are going to stick around for long after this.
I don't think there's a hard definition, but the idea is it's people who 'came of age' 'around' the turn of the millennium. So turning 18 in 1998 fits that definition I think.
It's including people born in the mid-90s that I don't understand from that definition. But I guess it's more about what the world was like when growing up - specifically growing up with the advent of Internet -> Mobile Internet -> Smart Phones.
Not OP, but two big issues for me having actually been a fan of them and an 'Equity Punk' (just one share) back in 2020:
CEO accused of inappropriate behaviour and abuse of power.
Despite huge popularity and their drinks taking over every supermarket, somehow managed to fall into administration leaving suppliers and original investors out of pocket.
I think the takeover deal stinks - the worst kind of capitalism - leave all the small guys short changed and hand a massive multinational brand to another company with no obligations to make it right.
Yeah I am also boycotting Brewdog after the takeover farce. Finding alcoholic alternatives is no problem, but they are very good at the AF stuff.
And we're also trying to avoid all Coke/Pepsi owned products, which is almost everything sugary in a pub - fine for me as I'm not into sweet drinks, but leaves my wife on lime and soda often.
What? I completely get discarding things and living a life without the burden of clutter, but having a game in your Steam library is essentially zero cost/burden right?
Has anyone dug into this enough to work out what exactly is the difference in measuring fertility rate vs gender compared to just measuring population percentage per gender? It's got to be a very subtle difference, if anything.
Sometimes if you don't use enough water or don't stir it at the right time, pasta can stick to itself in the pan and the bits in the middle aren't able to rehydrate/cook properly.
Sure, BUT, don't just connect it to the cold water supply - they need proper isolation - I've heard of cases where households have gotten really sick and they found that bacteria from the bum gun had made it back to the drinking water.
Not saying that the US isn't in fiscal crisis, I'm not at all qualified to say either way, but: Comparing government balance sheets to household finances is a age-old conservative folly designed to encourage the working class to support smaller government in order to reduce taxes on the rich - in other words, encourage the turkeys to vote for Christmas (or in this case maybe Thanksgiving?).
The fact is that government finances and household finances are not at all the same thing, for many reasons I'm not qualified to explain, but a couple of obvious ones:
Households can't choose to tax the rich to increase income.
Households can't print money.
Households can't secure low-interest loans that extend beyond their lifetimes (i.e. issue bonds).
Households don't typically find spending increases income (i.e. Government workers pay taxes, infrastructure investment drives growth which increases tax revenue, etc etc).
The UK Conservatives used this line of reasoning around 2010 and it's led to 15 years of growth stagnation with no real improvement in the debt situation.
After being very confused by this picture, I just went down a rabbit hole researching the use of "corned beef" across the English speaking world..
As far as I can tell:
US/Canada call this corned beef, and it's made from brisket.
UK/ex-Commonwealth call this salt beef, again made from brisket, and corned beef is very different mushy canned meat product
In Ireland it seems, from looking at the website for one of their supermarkets, they just call everything corned beef? The canned mush, raw brisket, this - all "corned beef"?
Great summary

I think currently companies tend to have the same process they always had.
In my case, that tends to be that you create a PR, someone assumes you knew what you were doing and approves it with no comments.
I actually expect the fact that we're promoting AI internally might result in this tightening up.
Probably unlike others, I work in an R&D team of only about 12 people total (all disciplines) so probably not the usual experience.
I don't think there's a hard definition, but the idea is it's people who 'came of age' 'around' the turn of the millennium. So turning 18 in 1998 fits that definition I think.

Non-alcoholic gin and tonic can be pretty good, but is often a rip-off.
Guiness 0% or the Brewdog AFs are pretty good. My favourite was Nanny State, but it's hard to find.

Or if you prefer EDM, maybe Boys of Summer by DJ Sammy

37 to about 45 was my era.
However, the first ones Insaw were 8 and 11 in my parents vinyl collection. I may have them at my house now, not sure.

The schedule times above are off by an hour in some cases - this from the official app:
UTC isn't adjusted for daylight savings, so maybe that's the source of the error?
It's also not daylight savings in Europe (CET/BST) until 29th March and China doesn't do daylight savings...
I feel like over-salting the tenderloin would spoil the flavour. And you don't want to slow cook it, it will dry out.
But as a possible Irish twist: Replace the mushroom duxelle with white or black pudding? Should such a thing be available where you are
