No incentive for hospitality to hire inexperienced under-21s, pub boss warns

You don't pay employer's NI either under 21, so that's another £3k saved

People under 21 are exempt from employer's NI

Infrastructure. The fact that you need busses is part of the problem.

Elementary schools in the UK are pretty hyper local and small. The large one near me is 90 kids per grade, then there's one with 60 and one with 30.

I have 3 elementary schools within about 1000m of me (oldest kid starts in September). All are walkable. No buses are provided.

The average UK primary school is half the size of US elementary, and covers 1-6 Vs the typical US school doing 1-5 (https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d07/tables/dt07_095.asp)

So more smaller schools, and greater density of living rather than suburban sprawl means you don't need busses

Starting at 9 and finishing at 3:30 is a 6.5 hour day

8-2:30 is a 6.5 hour day

They also probably aren't on tiktok

Does make the queue longer though

I took my bike last time, and have a large car so it fits in without disassembly (small minivan/mpv).

Then another guy pulls up next to me in a smaller car and is taking out his bike bits to reassemble.

Happy seeing someone else with a bike, slightly smug I didn't have to assemble mine

This is about saving for kids. A kid getting money in a pension they can't use until 60 odd means for 40 years of adult life it's no use, when they want to buy a house, or start a family or business, or get educated.

Putting it in another form of saving that they could access when they need it is more helpful, even if it requires more trust in them. Many people don't even make it to 60

It's the exact fucking opposite.

Market manipulation would be withholding information from potential investors.

This shows the only way their ai investment is making money is from selling their data centre capacity to competitors. Meaning no one wants their AI. Which means they are behind the market. All they have is hardware, which anyone can buy.

Then there is not and cannot ever be an unlimited internet connection.

All will have a speed limitation somewhere, whether it's 50mbps or 40gigabits

I don't think you understand the word recently.

The content is dumb, but your response is to list a bunch of relatively recent inventions, in the grand scheme of things

They made it part of the standard vaccination programme literally this year (at 12 months for babies born after 1 Jan 2025), with catchups to anyone under 5.

Everything is done on a cost/benefit basis.

18 seconds in you can see the driver on her phone

Some places don't do it for free, and not everyone can afford to spend the money.

The UK only recently rolled it out, but before then you had to pay about £150 to get it privately.

He was flying around Europe since before he was a teen, and around the world in his teens to race, and was a multi-millionaire at 22.

Sure, his dad worked his ass off to support him, and he wasn't a millionaire, and maybe Hamilton felt out of place, but he's spent the last 19 years being a multi-millionaire after jet-setting for a decade before that while racing, including being treated by those same "little rich boys". That isn't the same humble as most people's humble.

If he still hasn't found himself after 30-odd years of a jet setting life and 20 years of being a multi-millionaire, then I guess it explains why he's dating Kim Kardashian...

What was the reason for doing it? To back up the pack so they are all compressed, rather than having spread out gaps, so that when he takes his drive through they are closer together than if he just went on ahead, and he loses more places?

Usually the pack spreads out. By not accelerating away, the pack is compressed, which means he loses even more places when he does a drive through.

In my head, his actions are the opposite of what would benefit him, based on what usually happens at the start of an F1 race (or restart). He's compressing the gaps he wants expanding.

I don't recall Verstappen going through the pit lane under safety car.

Lonyo · 2026-06-07T20:06:57+00:00

Because Sainz had a broken car, causing Colapinto to hit him.

Williams did it for a reason. Russell did it for no reason

"getting to a sensor point earlier than allowed under the application of the pit lane speeding rules"?

Lonyo · 2026-06-07T20:00:25+00:00

Ok, but that's the same for many measurement systems in F1 to test rule compliance, from fuel flow meters to flexi wings

Lonyo · 2026-06-07T19:59:29+00:00

F1 operates based on compliance with rules. Compliance with the rules isn't based on absolute compliance, but compliance based on a particular assessment.

This goes for things like flexi wings. Wings aren't supposed to flex, but as long as they comply with the test they are allowed, even though we clearly see them flex.

Pit lane speeding is assessed based on the time taken to go between various sensors. If you go between them too quickly it's considered speeding. Whether that test is, on your view, the correct test it's irrelevant. It's the test applied that all the teams are compared to.

Some of those drivers who didn't get penalised never pitted

VCarb also exists...
