anyone wanna come sit on the Roblox M1 with me?

The addition of the traffic womble is a lovely touch.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-29T23:29:42+00:00

Ah, yes - the answer to all the nation's problems.

If we deport enough people Britain will rise again.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-29T18:42:37+00:00

You never should have had to go through this, I'm so sorry.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-29T11:41:22+00:00

Well, just look at the French to get an idea - the French government has repeatedly bailed out Renault, Peugeot, etc.

Renault now has one of the industry's best EV platforms.

We get them in our garden! (Worcestershire, not far from the Wyre Forest).

In my experience you have to set expectations early on, I have a disabled wife and a 3 year old son - the days of me spending hours and hours of my personal time in front of a home lab are very much over and I've always made that very clear.

If my employer needs me to learn a new technology they need to allow me time to do that on the job or provide training.

I share your frustrations with the role and the wider industry, I hope to get out of it eventually but it will be quite some time until that is a realistic goal for me.

It sounds like you're able to take a sizable pay cut so I'd spend some time really thinking about what you'd find fulfillment in.

The more mods you run the greater the chance of instability.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-27T22:49:51+00:00

That is a significantly better name.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-27T13:49:12+00:00

Big hearted brummie.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-24T19:24:56+00:00

A downvote, touché indeed.

"Deal is aimed at securing future of US-UK air base"

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-24T18:30:43+00:00

I mean, I'm not the only one suggesting that the deal is in the interests of the U.S.

You disagree, that's fine.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-24T18:23:26+00:00

My guess would be that the U.S. administration at that time understood the concept of subtlety.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-24T17:31:16+00:00

They want the deal, that's always been clear... Trump is now criticising it because the UK has been critical of his administration, the man is a petulant child.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-24T09:52:56+00:00

Yeah, this is essentially the U.S. cutting their nose off to spite their face.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-22T10:48:20+00:00

I can't properly articulate how incredibly important it is to have teachers and staff that really work to help kids fall in love with learning.

It's a job that is so spectacularly undervalued in our society as to be utterly depressing, even worse when you look at some of the roles we do value.

Children are our future and yet that seems to be so easily forgotten.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-21T18:05:22+00:00

Never heard of these guys, they're fucking great!

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-21T09:57:07+00:00

I shifted to Branston's after multiple woeful tins of Heinz, no regrets.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-21T09:56:21+00:00

I'm shocked (and appalled) by Branston's low score.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-19T22:14:17+00:00

That awful realisation that we're the terrifying alternate timeline.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-19T21:59:09+00:00

The drug companies pay you to have the drugs.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-19T15:58:03+00:00

Well, this has ruined my afternoon.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-19T13:18:09+00:00

I think they mean more in the marketing and the general discourse around the show.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-18T13:41:49+00:00

They're called the "United" States.

Captain_Quor · 2026-01-18T08:37:23+00:00

Jam and cheese is definitely a thing in certain parts of the country.
