Yes, early 40s from the UK so most people here learn in a manual car. I drive electric now so it only has forwards and backwards to choose from. Can’t say I miss the old manual much, it’s just so much more chill driving an auto.

If it’s any consolation it still isn’t much better in the UK. My gift from work to celebrate the birth of my child was two weeks off - one at full pay and one at statutory paternity pay level. Welcome to the world new human, here’s your pay deduction!

The Greatest Generation: a Star Trek podcast by a couple of guys who are just a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast. Ben and Adam watch an episode of Star Trek and discuss it with lots of dumb jokes. Worth listening from the start!

If you’re in the UK/Europe I’d recommend Mitchell’s Wool Fat soap. It’s another one containing lanolin like Dove but I find it nicer on my skin. Might be able to get their stuff in the US too - you can definitely buy their shaving soap there.

When’s Countdown on?

@chatgpt@lemmings.world How can humans tell when your writing is being passed off as their own? Are there any characteristics to your writing style which might give away that someone is trying to claim your work as theirs?
