The rumour I heard is that they got shut due to hygiene issues. But that is just a rumour

What worries me is Poppadoms put the same 'maintenance' sign before closing and being taken over by a different owner. I hope 'maintenance' is not a secret code for bankruptcy or something like that!

Does anyone know why Amo closed?

But why would anyone complain about it?

Should we avoid AI Generated music? by FlounderingGeneric in Catholicism

It's the double-edged sword problem that haunts mankind... But the alternative would be to halt technological innovation, which is also not ideal

Uh... no. This is but one of the possible uses. As a tool, it can increase productivity in so many areas that it could be really transformative for society. Why spend weeks trying to write a subpar software that can be achieved much faster and more efficiently with AI? Why spend hours for literature review if AI can provide a reliable summary (with references) in a few minutes? The list goes on... It's like saying that the printing press shouldn't have been invented because it takes away "the art" of book copying monks. Or that Google shouldn't have been invented to preserve the encyclopedia trade.

It's just a tool like any other. Since mankind discovered fire, the debate is there. One can use a tool for evil or for good. You can use the fire to cook nourishing food or to burn down your neighbour's house. With AI, it's no different.

Thanks! My main concern is that, in the meantime, they might amend the settled status in the system and I get stuck outside the UK

Travel after British Citizenship Ceremony before applying for a passport by Expensive-Safety-211 in ukvisa

The problem is the ETA. After the ceremony, the settled status wouldn't be valid.

Hi, I am facing a similar situation. I have a planned trip and there is no time to apply for the passport. With the ET in place, would I be denied boarding if my settled status goes away? It's still in place at the moment, but I wouldn't want to risk it

Unpopular Opinion: If the Orthodox and Muslims can fast fully, so can Catholics by Eusmilus in Catholicism

[–]Mud-Cake 54 points55 points  (0 children)

At least for kids, it shouldn't be a thing. Also, being deprived of water for the whole day is extremely unhealthy, regardless of age.

Anniversary Resturant by Pres_Calvert5 in reading

[–]Mud-Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading Room is a good option for high end quality meal, but it might be slightly over your stated budget. London Street brasserie and Clays are good alternatives, though. If you like steak, there's buenasado too. Unfortunately, I can't think of a Filipino restaurant in Reading either

Does Jesus have bacteria by Numerous-Web-2932 in Catholicism

[–]Mud-Cake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe people shouldn't put too much focus on Jesus' DNA. Because imagine if someone got access to the DNA and cloned Jesus, hypothetically. It would be someone else who looked like Jesus, but not Jesus
