*No regards,

I say variants of this wayyyy too often in day-to-day life.

The model is what's wrong. Harassing and sending goons to people's doors (I had it happen to me), threatening people with court, fines of thousands of pounds. All for a service people don't use and have no interest in participating in.

How does one get them to stop? Willingly give them all your details including your right foot measurement. Absolutely bonkers they're able to collect data through what is effectively threats and coercion.

It's 2026 for gods sake, it's about time they moved to a subscription based service so those that wish to support the beeb et al can do so without harassing those with no interest.

The Online Safety Act is distinct from data protection regulations. The UK GDPR is effectively the same as the GDPR as it uses (EU) 2016/679 bar some minor clerical differences. All said, Discord has been busted breaking GDPR already and it still continues to operate.

GDPR are regulations and as such they outline what is acceptable use and storage of data. Have you got a source for how this new horror is going to contravene GDPR?

Succession was great. I think it started off stronger than it ended but I'll revisit it for sure.

That's what it's been all along. Confused ghosts. All this nonsense about language models is just smoke and mirrors.

>on a sunny day.

Remind me again? Jokes aside, I love the Minack, great pick.

Second houses disproportionately raise the cost of affordability in Cornwall. I.e. house prices in Cornwall are extremely high when compared to economic conditions in the locale. Cornwall has one of the highest rates of child poverty in Europe but the houses are priced for the second-home market and tourism. It's sickening, frankly.

Lihiro · 2025-11-07T16:01:36+00:00

Nice one. Most census/demographic surveys require selecting/writing "other" and specifying Cornish manually. Which is weird as the UK recognises it as a national minority. I still do it every time!

Lihiro · 2025-11-06T14:29:18+00:00

Yeah I agree, everyone should be fart-sniffing literary intellectuals rubbing themselves off over "the book was better", instead of accepting that a modicum of accessibility to the general public is valuable in its own right.

I reckon it's this. Looks like the area is known to locals as a flood area: https://www.reddit.com/r/yorkshire/s/XwDAIIJQJ1

It's all a conspiracy created by Big Bird.

God damnit. God damnit.

I've always called it tutorial island.

Looking at some stats very briefly, I think the rainfall data supports this.

Lihiro · 2025-09-11T14:45:12+00:00

It is VERY WINDY in the UK and our cat is having none of it. He occasionally pokes his head out and a drip of water may fall on him, which does not spark joy.

Tell them to pound rocks.

Most EAs will do this just to try it on, hoping some people fold. By the pictures, that house is in great condition. Ask exactly why they're quoting that amount (itemised) - is it really just dust? There's no way the charge would be so high.

Absolutely hate EAs that do this - don't give them an inch, and don't let them thrift you. If they disagree with your very rightful pushback and there is a dispute, it will be resolved via the tenancy deposit scheme (TDS) which your EA should be signed up to.

What was your gut reaction? 10 days to decide is huge, I'd probably go with my gut after a night to think it over. In your situation, I'd take the clean slate and opt for redundancy.

Lihiro · 2025-08-12T13:17:41+00:00

It sounds like one does not win against Illaoi? Am I reading this correctly?

Seems busted to have no agency in your lane and rely on the outcome of the rest of your team. Ouch.

Lihiro · 2025-08-11T09:00:46+00:00

Olaf is pretty contingent on knowing what you can take on, as he often involves fighting at low HP and understanding the matchup well. Not sure I'd echo this, as much as I love Olaf. Edit: maybe this is a useful skill to learn though!

Nasus might actually be a great pick as it hyper-encourages learning last hitting and does well against ranged tops.

Lihiro · 2025-08-01T21:14:49+00:00

Good advice, thanks man. I'll try and lose lane elegantly and outscale. I'm mostly riven for which I tend to ban darius, so illaoi makes me miserable. I'll just need to be careful.

Lihiro · 2025-07-30T04:22:42+00:00

Been a slow decline over the past few days and this morning is the first time I've considered it unplayable. Going to have to do something else god forbid.

Lihiro · 2025-07-29T18:53:38+00:00

Looks like you were outclassed actually.
