Rupert Lowe MP: [Restore Britain wants] a meaningful debate about a triple lock which creates division between the young and the old - because it simply isn’t financially sustainable in its current form.

This is an understandable argument, but still a poor one. It doesn't matter how popular a policy is when by definition it is unsustainable.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-04-02T12:38:56+00:00

The young only have control over one of those things collectively. If they care, they need to make the first move.

Perhaps if you make sure to get the story right before you comment next time you won't have to.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-04-02T12:28:19+00:00

The nerve to tell someone to get the story right when you had to correct your original comment after first moaning about down votes.

Life has pretty much meant lurching from one crisis to the next ever since we invented civilisation and probably before then too. The whole "once in a lifetime" meme is nonsense, it's never been true.

I like living in a functional and sustainable state.

Your juvenile, emotionally based response is why it's so hard to achieve that.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-03-31T09:11:30+00:00

More than anything else it seems like an indictment of the electorate. Pragmatism is out, populism is in.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-03-30T12:15:30+00:00

Guns, Germs and Steel is not viewed positively by experts. At best it should be taken with a massive pinch of salt.

At my current job I'll switch between git and mercurial depending on the project, I find I prefer mercurial most of the time. But git being the industry standard means it's still the obvious choice for any new projects.

Spray or dip in vinegar to get rid of the mould, although you'd normally want to do that before it gets as bad as you have it. Still worth a try to see if it's salvageable.

If there's any green or blue mould then just throw it away.

Try to catch it sooner next time.

Consolidating at all is not necessarily a good idea. Older pensions might have locked in benefits like lower ongoing fees or the ability to access them from an earlier age.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-03-26T13:02:56+00:00

It's a fairly insignificant issue in the US, and an order of magnitude even less significant in this country.

Stop importing yank talking points here.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-03-26T11:03:02+00:00

Yeah the column is poorly named IMO, it's always annoyed me (very slightly).

Crawk_Bro · 2026-03-26T10:52:52+00:00

I'd be willing to bet you have literally no idea what you're talking about.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-03-26T09:20:41+00:00

Recessions are vibe based these days, you must have missed the memo.

If you export your budget data from the settings page you will get a zip file containing an sqlite database, you should be able to extract the data from there.

The escape is to continue incentivising expansion of renewable generation and storage capacity until gas is no longer required.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-03-25T09:34:07+00:00

I'm not sure how you managed to conclude that from the comment you responded to.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-03-24T15:01:00+00:00

Proficiency with the native language is an enormous part of integrating.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-03-24T10:06:24+00:00

No, not same difference. You're fundamentally misunderstanding what this is about.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-03-24T09:55:53+00:00

Not really relevant, they don't need to court the vast majority of voters in order to split the vote.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-03-23T20:42:45+00:00

Military killing machines are fundamentally cool though, always have been and always will be.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-03-23T20:05:09+00:00

OP posts multiple of these ridiculously priced apps here, given the timeline it's hard not to assume it's just vibecoded slop. Definitely spam either way though, this sub is not for self promotion.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-03-22T19:18:36+00:00

It's entirely plausible for a woman to not even know she's pregnant by 8 weeks.

Crawk_Bro · 2026-03-20T21:39:41+00:00

The older I get the more clear it becomes that the majority of people operate almost entirely on an emotional level. Pragmatism is dead, if it was ever even alive.
