I know in the UK margins tend to be high on things like glasses and lenses but they lose money on even standard eye tests (it's worse if they pick something wrong and need to do further investigation)

I was thinking the same, I'd like more context though, if it's a quick throttle blip (or like if they're driving stick and need to reverse the car up a slope) could be understandable. If they're bouncing it off the rev limiter for a minute that's a different kettle of fish. Given the rest of the post I'm erring on the side of it being blown out of proportion.

This is a pet peeve of mine irl, people adding "ator" or "isation" or "ise" or similar to words to make new words we already have words for.

Doesn't he go every day without shutting the fuck up?

He looks like a twat but like it's not hard to smoke and hold a glass with the same hand. Assuming he's watching a video on the laptop I don't really see the issue.

Does anyone know the name for the sensation where you stretch and suddenly your innards feel all wrong, almost like being on the verge of a cramp but not and you suspect that if you don't return relatively quickly but gently to an unstretched position that something may go badly wrong inside?

You can even plug em into your phone and transfer from there, super handy on the go.

Maybe there won't be a tomorrow to worry about eh.
