12pm is weird af though 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm Like I get conceptually why, because 12:01pm is post-midday, but it still feels incredibly wrong.  Hence I prefer to use midday or midnight directly

But if someone says "I'll be five minutes" you accept for what it is, not believing "five" can mean 4 or 6.

Just a myth - the expression just references the quiet loneliness of a graveyard

Safety coffins were more a kind of brief cultural panic than based on any objective reality of large numbers of people being buried alive from a deep sleep. There's no accounts of them ever actually working. But they did cause a number of annoying false alarms (rats or wind jingling the bells, perhaps the finger curling or slipping from decay, etc)

Those are usually placed underneath the mine to detonate when the mine is moved, not on top of the mine to detonate when a guy walks off. There's also some multi-trigger detonators. IE they'll blow up the second or third time it's actuated. Usually used against convoys or to try and bypass mine-rollers (one reason mine ploughs are more popular).  But really the trope/myth comes from the German teller mine which had a *delayed* fuse. It would activate a few seconds after first triggered, which would *appear* to be as the soldier stepped off.

I used to tip when a haircut was like £9 But the price of a haircut near me has doubled in like 6 years, my salary has increased like 10%, I don't tip anymore.

Not in this economy

If you're watching your budget then making your own coffee can be a start.  That's just the reality. Whether it's fair that wages are depressed that much or not is another question, but that doesn't help someone like OP looking to budget.

I once ordered an OoP book on Ebay, but it never came.  So I messaged the seller, he said no problem and refunded me. I mostly just mourned the loss of the book, as there's only so many left.  Several months later, I get a slip from royal mail saying "you've got post that no one's paid for, if you pay the postage we'll deliver it".  I thought I must have bought something from some shitty drop shipping Chinese company and they'd stiffed me on postage, but paid it.  Turns out it was the book!  Messaged the guy back, offering to repay him minus the postage fee. He said don't bother, he'd already had a refund from the insurance. 

That's not how it's counted in Britain. Various things will disqualify you from counting as unemployed even if you're actively seeking work - such as being on disability benefit. 

I thought they were effective, but only for a specific time of year when the summer dry spell is at its peak.  And useful as much for exposing enemy positions in foliage as directly destroying them. 

Employees like the tipping culture because they usually earn *more* than minimum wage. Especially if you're working in a high end restaurant you can end up with a ridiculous amount of money.

They actually do have a minimum wage in America. It's just that the minimum is measured *after* tips. If they fall short, their employer has to make up the difference.

We actually have more housing supply, in terms of homes-per-head than ever in history. It's easy to blame the government for not building enough houses, but it's developers that are buying up land and just sitting on it. Building only piecemeal and making sure every house gets top-price. Also landlords and corporations buying up more and more housing in order to rent out, at increasingly higher and higher prices, also stops people saving for a deposit and keeps prices high.

Yup. Especially the smaller scale games can be really cheap to get into. Games like Bloodbowl, Necromunda, Moonstone etc you can easily start for less than £50 and have a full force.  If you have a limited starting budget, I'd avoid games like Warhammer 40k or Age of Sigmar, as although you can buy a small force on a budget, it won't really do you and you'll quickly feel pressed to drop another £hundred or two to expand.

Basically like a boardgame, with an empthasis on your pieces directly fighting and killing eachother to win.  'Warhammer' has become a catch-all phrase for a lot of different games which also called wargames (Warhammer is a brand, it's like calling all vacuum cleaners Dysons). There's scifi games, fantasy games, historical games. There's games with big armies, small armies. Any game you can imagine is probably a thing somewhere.
