I saw this post yesterday, and then today on my way to the train station cars were queueing at a traffic light with 2 lanes. One lane cars couldn’t get into because another cars poor positioning, but a range rover just mounted the curb and bombed it around loads of cars. I guess that counts as off-road.

This gave big uncanny valley vibes. I imagine it was meant to feel like a magical advert, but instead it felt creepy.

“Labour will also remove the discriminatory age bands, so all adults are entitled to the same minimum wage, delivering a pay rise to hundreds of thousands of workers across the UK.”

I like this change, shame it wasn’t in place when I was younger!

My concern with this is that for a lot of young people retail is their first job, and so I suspect retail is predominantly young workers. What kind of impact would this have on the economy? E.g. if Morrisons hires lots of younger people and they now need to increase all their pays, I’m guessing they’ll need to cut staff numbers or increase prices? Of course they are going to avoid cutting into their profits. Now times this by however many retailers there are. I can only guess there is the hope that people will buy more.

Thanks for this!

You’ll have to ask the company that eventually buys them out!

Something helpful someone said to me is that if someone says something like “I can’t do it”, simply say “yet” and it immediately changes their point of view.

I’ll be glad to see the backs of the Tories, but I don’t have high expectations for Labour. Every time the Tories fuck up Labour simply suggests “we wouldn’t do it that way.” Hindsight is a pretty powerful thing and I don’t know if they’ll be able to make the right decisions either.

Tories definitely shouldn’t win, but I don’t feel labour deserve to win. I feel like I’m voting for the lesser of 2 evils 😞

What annoys me is you still have to pay for audio books.

This is definitely the kind of thing I’m looking for, such a shame it isn’t maintained.

The true goal of Brexit, to hoard all our tea 🧐

Have production costs increased or has marketing/publishing costs gone up dramatically as gaming attempts to get a greater demographic and introduce predatory monetisation methods? Tools and techniques for game development surely improve over time making development easier and more cost effective.

There are 29 of them!

Unfortunately it excludes a great deal of gen x and millennials as well who may have voted remain.

I agree it can depend on the journey. Convenience can be different things to different people, if two people are travelling from London to Edinburgh by train that could cost around £240 one way, as opposed to driving which could cost around £80 one way. I’d say the cost savings there are convenient for the two people and depending on their budget could outweigh the convenience of one of them being able to sleep on the journey.

Commuting is another matter, if cost of commuting by public transport was cheaper, reliable, personable and generally a more pleasant experience then more people would do it. Once again it also depends on the journey!

Cars really are more convenient on an individual basis. It’s not ideal for the environment and getting stuck in traffic is a pain in the arse when it happens, but for the individual it provides greater benefits than public transport.

In the UK it’s cheaper than public transport, it’s much more reliable, it’s healthier (not being in close proximity to those who may be harbouring a flu), and it affords people the freedom to travel somewhere that public transport can’t get you sufficiently close to.

Personally I feel that the best step is to reduce the need for people to travel. If people don’t need to be in offices then don’t enforce policies to get them back in. That’ll reduce car usage as well as public transport.

This season ending was fine, not too sure how driven I’d be to watch season 2. I feel like the show has had to compete with the likes of Solo Leveling, and Shangri-La Frontier, both of which have so much more depth to their characters, leaving this one feeling a bit shallow.

I tend to watch Clemmy Games to see what indie games are coming up. There are a lot of duds, but then you come across a diamond in the rough. Clemmy does a great job for me, releasing videos almost every day and I would recommend giving the channel a go!

I’m a junior dev that has been on the job for ~6 months. I found AI to be useful for learning when I had to make an application in Swift and had zero experience of the language. It presented me with some turd responses, but from this it gave me the idea of what to try and what to look into to find answers.

I find that sometimes AI can present a concept to me in a way I can understand, where blogs can fail. I’m not worried about AI right now, it’s a tool to make our jobs easier!
