As people here work in various jobs / professions they might know things from work or study no one here knows yet. this is what this topic is about.

what do you know that we have never heard of?

Eg: you don't need to be great at maths to be an architect

this is obvious to me but everyone says to me "i wanted to be an architect but i was bad at math,i can barely add"

Gmail was orginally "Garfield Mail" (the cat) and owned by Jim Davis, Google bought the name afterwards.
In Germany you couldn't have a "Gmail" account, it had to be called "GoogleMail" as there was already a company called Gmail who provided the service of recieveing your emails, printing them out and posting them to you, surprise surprise, that company sold the name when their own company tanked.

Finally, put a + sign anywhere in your Gmail address when you sign up to mailing lists, you will still receive the mail, but Google will organise them. Good way to direct stuff you might not want (or definitely don't want to miss)

Why is this a good idea? Hotmail/Outlook are at this crap as well. The postman does not open and read my mail or make a decision about "what's important" before he sticks it through the letterbox so why the flying feck should google or hotmail??

Ya, practicalities of a pre existing system. Would be too expensive to change and goodness knows any investment in our rail network has more important priorities. Luckily the public don't have to deal with those measurements, rail operators and engineers.

Still a ridiculous system.

One of the Luas lines used an existing rail route.

Most cars have an arrow on the instrument cluster that tell you what side the fuel filler cap is on, (the few that dont use the nozzle on the image of the pump to indicate the correct side.)

I think he is talking about the feature whereby if your email address is prinz@gmail.com then you can put a +whatever in there and it will still end up I your inbox.

Prinz+1@gmail.com
Prinz+boobies@gmail.com

...will all end up at the same inbox. Very handy if you want to sign up to something multiple times but still have the same inbox

Bears can vote in Alaska. Most don't however.

The letter p was dropped from the alphabet in 1903. An abysmal failure of metrification, it was quickly reinstated after the great secretary revolt later that year.

While your first statement is true, unfortunately the second is not. The nozzle side does not indicate the fuel filler cap side.
