It’s certainly not big in the North of England. I don’t know about the rest of Britain.

Does anyone think that Boeing will take note of this and change their behaviour?

But discouraging the “wrong” people from voting is a deliberate tactic.

We used to call the code that determined NPC behaviour AI.

It wasn’t AI as we know it now but it was intended to give vaguely realistic behaviour (such as taking a sensible route from A to B).

This is a TIL so maybe they are surprised about the 7 that they listed and not the others.

There’s a few Ts in that comment. There are one or two people who replace “th” with that symbol in the communities that I subscribe to.

I also find it mildly infuriating.

They specifically said that a gross tenant paying market rate is better than no tenant.

I’ve suddenly been getting regular Windows notifications from Adobe asking me to set them as the default PDF app.

Very annoying when I use Adobe reader once a month or so to sign documents.

Would you not consider an author who sold millions of books worldwide to be qualification enough for world news?

As a non American I wouldn’t mind articles about American authors in world news. It would have to be those with a high international profile though which gives the problem about where the line is.

They didn’t say that it wouldn’t compete. They said that it wouldn’t compete on price.

Don’t forget the sports washing angle with golf, football, boxing and motorsport.

I had a terrible first play through.

I read an article on this a while ago and I’m not sure what UK crimes he is known to have committed.

Our age of consent is 16 so he didn’t sexually assault a minor. If he did what he did then in the present day then he’d have broken sex trafficking laws but those laws were weak or non existent at the time.

Obviously, there’s a fair chance that he did commit a crime that we don’t know about and finding out about that would be made very difficult due to who he is.

It’s getting to be that way in the UK too.

It used to be that everyone could get an NHS dentist and get a lot of work done for free but not anymore. I think that we’re still all entitled to an NHS dentist but there aren’t enough of them so only kids have easy access.

They spent billions of dollars to develop and train the AIs that they use. They’re not going to remove it for fucking up someone’s YouTube channel.

They wouldn’t remove it even if it caused someone’s death (which it probably has considering that they have been shown to be very bad at therapy and that people go to them for therapy).

But I was told that capitalism checks itself using something called “market forces”.

I think this is much, *much* harder to pin down than you seem to be implying.

I agree which is what my last paragraph said. It might seem easy to pin down for a very small number of topics but not for most.

I also have mixed feelings about it but come out on the side of this is bad.

I feel like this measure begs the question: Should everyday people be allowed to sway public opinion?

They should be able to sway public opinion on things that are a matter of opinion, not on things that are proven facts.

I’m specifically thinking of anti-vaxxers here. The US is currently suffering from its largest measles outbreak since 1992 when the disease was declared eliminated in 2000. We shouldn’t be having this problem and it’s caused by people sharing opinions that contradict with scientifically proven facts.

The reason that I come out on the side of the law being bad is that the line between things that should require a degree to talk about and things that shouldn’t isn’t an easily defined one so the law is very open to abuse.

Spiky plant thingies suck. They’re so hard to get out of our dog’s ears and our cats’ fur because they all hate you doing it so fidget a lot.

Yeah. The Falklands War was referred to as a conflict in the UK.
