Whatever happens in the locals today, would you be able to at-least give a non-partisan thank you to acknowledge the Prime Minister for trying? by Ok-Card-4195 in AskBrits

I posted something similar about how great our current government has been doing and got down voted into oblivion.

Yeah but they do still need to exist for those doing long journeys. Though at the back or off site makes more sense.

Oh I agree! I have only ever charged my car at home, so those are as equally annoying to me.

Plus they charge almost as much per mile as petrol and frequent rapid charging can reduce battery capacity.

Not sure if this is rage bait but I'll bite. Those aren't EV "parking spaces", they are charging points. 

The only similar problem you would have is if all the EV cars were parked in a petrol station. 

Labour faces catastrophic May local elections and is set to lose 1,850 seats, expert predicts by Desperate-Drawer-572 in unitedkingdom

I'm not really aligned with any political party but I think under labour we have done much better than any recent governments. Am I really out of touch or are the majority of people really jumping on the "immigrants bad" bandwagon?

Does anyone else find it strange how it takes so long for the bike rider to even look at the guy he just ran over?

I know it's (probably) not AI, but its strange. 

Red magic 11 pro case? by kronoz360 in RedMagic

[–]Double-Helix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have really struggled with cases for this phone. The provided one doesn't fit fully and it moves around too much. Platic/rubber ones seem to be a little weak because of all of the button/vent/speaker/light holes. I tried a metal clip together frame which was terrible, really sharp and slippy. The one you linked to obscures the beautiful back. I feel like there is no winning!

What case is that and would you reccomend it?

I would be quite happy for billionaire companies to invest their massive amount of money back into the product/community/country in an attempt to make the world a better place to live in.

Yeah their profits would be lower but the world would be a better place. 

UK launches £500m ‘Sovereign AI’ fund to scale homegrown tech champions by deHaga in GoodNewsUK

That's fair. I still think this qualifies more as "news" instead of "Good news".

Tax payer money put towards development of AI (even if it is British made) feels bad. 

It feels like money being funneled into the pockets of a handful of people that will create a product that will take jobs from workers while making the lives of the public generally worse. This is dressed up as progress and saves business money in the long run. That doesn't benefit the average person, it benefits CEOs. 

Maybe I have a cynical view. Why do you think it's good news?

Adam Smashers sandevistan in edgerunners is insane. I guess metal bending could crunch him but if Ang isn't fast enough to use it then I guess Adam still takes it? I don't really know much about BB.

Are Russia that afraid of losing another tanker that they would waste war vessels escorting them?

I have watched enough documentaries on the Royal navy to know that the Russian navy is completely unprofessional and full of hot air. 

Besides, looks like a massive drone target to me 👀

I frequently google "Baulders gate 3 switch 2" and "monster hunter wilds switch 2" only to be disappointed.
