The 'Life in the UK' test needs an upgrade.
Studying for it now for ILR, but the questions are like "Who won this Cricket match in 1928"? Who cares?

@FischerKing64 For every person getting things done, there were 6-10 people just hanging out. Not a lot of incentive to work hard, and it could be frustrating at times.
Still, he fired a lot of good people doing really cool projects which were stupidly close to launching.
@ChaseSupport Sure.
The rep I spoke with yesterday was helpful and lifted the block. For reasons(?), Chase reinstated the block 5 mins after that and now it's unliftable without me giving the info in the blocked account. I've lost hours of my time on this.

Why does @Google limit data storage on Gmail while simultaneously flooding us with promo/ad emails, which also count against our storage allowance? They profit from those ads and profit from forcing us to pay for extra storage to store those ads.
@minjinlee11 I think a good collection of short stories has: a mix of open ended and complete stories, varying emotions from story to story, and each has a sense of poetry and economy with language.
@emilynussbaum It was a weird time. Netflix mailed us DVDs, Jon Stewart was god, online message boards / forums ruled, 'Flight of the Conchords' was cool, and fashion had a mini-70s revival.
