We've all had minor breakdowns with our car, motorcycle or bicycle, where most of the times replacing an old part with a new part is all it takes. But are you OK with doing it yourself? I'm referring to changing a wheel that has a flat tyre, changing the brake pads on your car, unbolting an exhaust on the motorcycle and replacing it with a new one, replacing a broken brake wire on the bicycle. And more importantly, do you trust your own skills?

I know people who go to a professional repair shop to change their window wipers or top up motor oil, when that's as easy as pie.

Amalgamax Superman: (Who has all the superpowers of both Marvel/DC heroes and Marvel/DC villains.)

Now that Summer has started, how about an interesting Geography question.

The poll below lists several geography "facts". Which of them is true? Or maybe they are all True? Or maybe none are true?

Many news articles are behind a paywall, with most of the major news media companies requiring a subscription to get through the paywall and access their news. Studies show that most people don't pay when they encounter a paywall.

Per a recent Pew survey, here’s how US readers typically react when they come across a paywalled article:

* 53% look for the info somewhere else
* 32% give up
* 11% try to access the article without paying
* 2% do something else
* 1% actually pay

What do you usually do when you encounter a paywalled article?

Let's see if GaG users are like the majority of people.

You might be surprised at the actual answer, which will be given in a few days (Wednesday).

This is not a trick question. One of the choices in the poll IS the correct answer.

Like most, I started school at the age of 6 where we were required to attend 180 school days a year for the next 12 years of our life. With assloads of homework our parents struggled to help us with and even summer reading assignments, we were told if we worked hard and achieved good grades, success was paved ahead for us. Then, if that wasn't enough, we were strongly encouraged to attend postsecondary education to further our chances of success and have a competitive advantage.

Fast forwarding today, my generation is fucked royally. A large swath of us is reliant on our parents for housing and even finances. Then to rub salt in the wounds, many are graduating college with 4 year degrees still having to work fast food or wait tables. Even further, we are told that AI automation will cause a "white-collar bloodbath".

My mother told me one of her friends is less than 10 years from retirement and having to return to college for a different degree. Another friend of hers is having to pick up a job despite being disabled. This is a catastrophe.

If you are wondering why this whole phenomenon of NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) is on the rise among GenZ, look at all the lies and broken promises we were fed our entire lives.
