Am British, can confirm: the bonnet is the door you open to access the engine bay. The space for luggage is called the boot, and the door you open to access it is called the boot lid.

No need to speak for the USA, Rockstar North is British

Perhaps of note that the pronunciations of some penny amounts are not intuitive, e.g.

• 2d = tuppence
• 3d = thruppence

In all cases, the ‘pence’ is commonly squished together so it sounds more like ‘pns’ (like in comeuppance).

FYI you can just post the link without shilling for your preferred search engine

People who came to Steam later on probably don’t realise that when it was new it barely fucking worked.

Downloads crawled, games refused to launch because of authentication issues, friends/chat was offline for literally months, etc.

The only reason it became widely adopted was because Valve forced you to use it if you wanted to play the latest CS or, later, HL2. Everyone hated it.

I feel like the people complaining here have no idea how much work is involved in compiling and maintaining the OED.

This is a full reference of the English language intended for academics and professional contexts, not just a place to check spelling.

Yep, exactly this.

I use OED as my standard reference when writing - I can log in from anywhere with my library card number and get full access without paying a penny.

At killing batteries faster - the wasted energy creates heat, which degrades the battery.

Non-magnetically-aligned wireless chargers are far worse than fast charging.

Yes, but it had only previously been released on the Wii U, so for most people it was brand new.

Hey, it worked for Sega

No they don’t? The games are only sold on physical cartridges (or built-in in some models).

There’s no online store or downloadable games, besides the ‘game of the month’ trial thing they occasionally run.

Mandarins or clementines last for ages in the fridge, don’t bruise, and taste amazing when cold.

Wow, I’ve not thought about Soldner for a very long time

Obviously you’ll want to start with absolute basics like mouse and keyboard navigation.

Beyond that? Maybe something involving a ‘treasure hunt’ to learn about navigating files and folders, renaming files, and copying vs. moving them.

Anecdotally, I’ve heard lots of kids coming up now really struggle with the concept of file systems, so it’s definitely something worth teaching early.

Bigger underwear, for a start

If you mod it enough, sure. Out of the box it’s dismal.

Official internal chat will be either Slack or MS Teams. Using any unauthorised app to discuss matters relating to the business would be a contract violation.

Realistically, game devs do this all the time in private chats with colleagues that happen outside work, both online and in person. But of course R* either never knows about those or chooses to overlook it.

In this case, I suspect the fact they were unionising was the reason they actually took action on it. It’s not about consistency, it’s about having an excuse to fire these people.

In this scenario I’m assuming they were talking about project specifics, which would absolutely be covered.

I’m not sure about other industries, but in games NDAs and similar restrictive contract clauses tend to be extremely strict and often quite broad.

We already know the affected workers were using Discord to organise. My guess is they were discussing work issues there, and Rockstar jumped on that as an excuse to fire them (as it would constitute a breach of NDA).
