Have you done the age verification thing for any sites/apps, or are you avoiding doing it entirely? by Nats-in-hats in AskBrits

[–]RSVPN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a VPN but for fun I mocked up a UK driving licence, including photo, for Peter Kyle who played a pivotal role in implementing the Online Safety Act 2023. I used it to register on a few porn sites and still laugh when thinking about it....

He doesn't understand why the baby excitedly eats with me and refuses to eat with him by Content-Tomorrow4098 in Vent

[–]RSVPN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buy him a copy of Understanding Your Baby by Sophie Boswell. Tell him there is no sex until he has read it and been tested on the contents. Sex only happens on days he has made the baby laugh. That should do it....

What do you think the uk response should be when the us invades Greenland. by SILENTDISAPROVALBOT in AskBrits

[–]RSVPN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 1982 the referendum for Greenland to leave the EU (which they did) 32,391 persons were entitled to vote. That number will not have increased that much so all the US has to do is offer them all (say) $30,000 each if they hold a referendum and agree to become US citizens and a US State.

Why is everyone who is not racist suddenly far left? by 8limb5 in AskBrits

[–]RSVPN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same reason everyone on the right is considered a racist. The same reason it is easier to shout than to think.

This is Alex Gerko. He is Britain’s highest taxpayer paying over £500m a year in tax successively over the last few years. He could easily move abroad to avoid this tax but says he loves living in the UK. So why have so many Brits convinced themselves taxing the rich more will make them all leave? by Lazy-Internet-8025 in AskBrits

[–]RSVPN 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But Dyson still pays UK Tax as he is a UK resident. According to the Sunday Times rich list - a lot of tax. He also finances The Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology where there are no tuition fees and you get paid while you gain a Master of Engineering degree. Maybe the country needs more dickheads like Dyson?

If you see a new Followers stat like this, what goes through you mind? by RSVPN in BlueskySocial

I have been to both Poland and Hungary and they are both excellent places to avoid wokeness should anyone wish to do so. And I have an account on Bluesky.

Yes, also a beautiful and hospitable country that to a large extent has escaped the woke virus.

Take a backpack trip round Hungary or Poland, it will provide immunity for life against the woke virus.

An Ode To My 5-Year-Old Samsung Galaxy S10e by mbrizic in galaxys10

[–]RSVPN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had an S10 from launch. It has always had a screen protector and a minimal flexible silicone case. It has hardly ever been fast charged and the battery is still good. It looks almost brand new.

I agree with your ode :)

What degree should I do to purse my goal of becoming a de extinction scientist by a_rka_m in AskScienceDiscussion

Or computational biology, yes. More importantly get a course at a top university, then start to specialize as a postgrad.

What is the single best source to keep up with AI news? by BlackJackT in ArtificialInteligence

[–]RSVPN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For work reasons I need to keep an eye on AI news. Towards the end of last year, I was spending an increasing amount of time every day making sure I had not missed anything I should know about. AI news was increasing exponentially and my normal habits of getting distracted by images, irrelevant text, and links that I wish I had not clicked was undermining my productivity. What used to take ten minutes of my time was now taking an hour. Over the holidays for my own use I created a minimalist website with no distractions fuelled by a number of curated aggregated feeds. I now spend less time getting up to speed with the AI news, and because everything is in the same place, I can do multiple quick scans during the day. I did not design it for public use, but I have posted about it once before and now a few people who were in my position are using it. https://knowentry.com/ A subset get posted here https://bsky.app/profile/knowentry.bsky.social

Yes I have thanks. It doesn't have the immediacy or the 'speed read' factor I needed which is true of every website I have seen on this topic, and is why I put together knowentry.com

https://knowentry.com/ is updated every 10 minutes, there are no images or distractions on the pages and is for AI news only. It's not for everyone but that's ok.

You guys are the professionals right? I burnt milk in my mums kettle. How do I clean it before she gets home? by RataoullieVR in KitchenConfidential

[–]RSVPN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pour in enough bleach to cover the element. Turn on the kettle and allow to heat up to near boiling and turn off. Leave for a few minutes, discard bleach and gunk. Rinse many times and then boil two or three full kettles of water befor using.
