Incredibly disturbed by one woman's perspective in this week's Guardian domestic debate column: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/jan/12/you-be-the-judge-should-my-wifes-family-stop-using-my-toothbrush

quote:

When you live with three siblings and your mum and dad, you just do whatever. We shared toothbrushes – we have done it our entire lives. I still do when I go home. I genuinely don’t think there’s anything unusual about it. I thought everyone did it. It didn’t occur to me that it was disgusting.

My husband didn’t know for a really long time that everyone in my house was using his toothbrush when he stayed over. He used to be like, “Why is my toothbrush wet?” I didn’t say anything for a while. But he had a very beautiful, pristine toothbrush, whereas Mum used to just get a pack of Aldi ones. My siblings wouldn’t have known it was his, though. They would have just seen it and thought: “I’ll be using that one tonight.”

He has got around the issue by taking his toothbrush back into the bedroom whenever he stays at my family home. I think it’s funny that he keeps it under lock and key, and my family think it’s hilarious. They take the piss out of him for being a stiff-necked loser. I tell him to chill out about the toothbrush thing – I think sharing is charming.

Imagine getting married and then your in-laws show up like a bunch of drooling Gollums clamouring to have a go at your superior-quality Oral-B

The issue with cheering for stuff like this is it's a rounding error on Musk's personal wealth but a real issue for the workers in those factories.
I don't know how strong German labour laws are but you know Musk won't be paying anyone a penny unless he absolutely has to.

Supposedly it's a folk tale to discourage would-be rapists who are not otherwise discouraged from that for reasons of basic morality.

Regardless of whether attacking ships in the Red Sea could affect German auto workers or what Ansar Allah's views on women are, I don't think that the US and UK bombing Yemeni cities yet again is good. It seems really bad in fact.

Just a warning on this. One of their tips is that different job titles can result in lower premiums.
However, if you keep putting in different quotes changing your job title, it can result in some companies refusing to quote you at all, as they don't like people trying to game the system.
YMMV, but it's something I've seen people complain about in car forums

Yeah another of the issues with tips like these is that they're often taking a niche, specific tip and generalising it out to useless cases. There are certain job titles which carry higher insurance premiums. Broadly speaking, you pay more for your insurance if your job is high profile, because there's a higher risk of your accidents being more expensive. If you're a giving a colleague a lift home from work and cause an accident that gives your friend whiplash, that friend's injury claim (that includes loss of earnings) is going to cost a lot more money if you're both TV presenters vs you both being civil servants. This means that if, say, you work as an audio engineer at the BBC, you might see a different premium for "TV/Radio Supervisor" vs "Audio Engineer".

There can also be higher premiums if you're in a "driving" occupation because even if using the car for business is explicitly forbidden there is perceived to be a much higher risk that you'll decide to use the car for your job. So if you're a courier, a deliveroo driver, or a taxi driver, those job titles will probably put your insurance up.

But there's going to be no difference at all between listing your occupation as "Clerical Secretary" and "Admin Assistant". If you're not potentially carrying Graham Norton or a chicken korma in the car, the insurance company is unlikely to care.

Everything that Freud thought cocaine was good for (anxiety, depression, addiction) has been thoroughly disproven, and everything that he thought it was just a placebo for (arthritis, anaesthesia in eye surgery) it works for.

This is a common logical fallacy in those who are on cocaine all day.

I haven't seen too much about the results of the strikes?

The Iranian backed Houthis controlled health agency seems to say 5 deaths which does sound like it was a pretty narrowly targeted attack given they apparently hit 60 separate targets.

They basically just sprayed the coastline with Tomahawk missiles, which is (a) unlikely to be effective against targets as mobile as missile launchers and drones, and (b) unlikely to indicate a serious, long-term military investment by America, since they're using a weapon with highly limited ammunition that doesn't require them to risk human pilots. This was all a bit performative.

It does essentially nothing to degrade the Houthis’ capabilities while making the Red Sea even more dangerous for shipping. Not to mention further inflaming the ME against both the great and lesser Satan.
