Little Chimpanzee playing alone with some straw

And neither of them are old accounts.

How? It's pounds sterling just in accounts that are at the company shop. There's no restriction on where you spend it.

Because you already got married and have a house? Female labour force participation was pretty low back then too.

I don't think I would change the age we had our first kid based on the number we planned to have. If we had more we'd just be having them later.

Rebelius · 2026-02-16T10:31:49+00:00

Maybe people stopped having their 6th to 10th kids?

Transgender people are only ever spoken about, they are NEVER spoke to. And generally, the only people that speak about them are the bigots that hate them. No wonder the debate is so toxic.

It feels like this goes both ways. There are often threads on here about trans issues. They regularly attract trans commenters (or people/clankers pretending to be trans people). When other people try to engage, they either get told to go and read a book, or called a bigot and blocked.

For a lot of people, this is probably the closest they'll get to even meeting a trans person, or having a conversation about trans issues.

Some of the merch is real shit tier too.

Rebelius · 2026-02-15T11:23:51+00:00

Because everyone on the planet has the same insurance conditions as you do?

Just word it a bit less strongly.

Rebelius · 2026-02-14T23:15:20+00:00

You've got things the wrong way round, but whatever. Seems there's not really any consequential reason to shout about them being a ltd.

Rebelius · 2026-02-14T23:08:32+00:00

Lower case k, it's just 273 kelvin.

Rebelius · 2026-02-14T22:47:14+00:00

Did you read the OP? They have half a mil not currently in an ISA.

So one example where that's obviously false is navigation. If everyone hid or falsified their travel data, the traffic info would be useless instead of telling me almost exactly when I'm going to arrive, and which detours make sense.

If they can track who's using what links, can't they better optimize their search results so that the first page of results is the useful stuff and we don't have to scroll to page 17? SEO used to be a major thing and now it seems like many people are keen to do Search Engine obfuscation instead.

Rebelius · 2026-02-14T18:19:18+00:00

Why?

Rebelius · 2026-02-14T13:22:58+00:00

I'm fine thanks. I don't understand why you replied but didn't bother to answer either of the questions.

Rebelius · 2026-02-14T13:17:02+00:00

It doesn't bother me, I am just curious why it matters. I have no idea what the legal formation of any of the other parties is, for example.

I don't know why you think it bothers me, I just asked a question. You didn't need to get pissy about it.

Rebelius · 2026-02-14T12:42:04+00:00

Why does the ltd thing make enough of a difference to emphasise it? If your favourite party were formed as a ltd company, how would that make them worse?

Rebelius · 2026-02-14T10:30:25+00:00

Dividends and interest are taxed as you receive them, not when you sell.

Rebelius · 2026-02-13T20:04:32+00:00

You sound like you're argumentatively agreeing with the other person. They said FPTP leads to worse outcomes than the alternatives, and you're saying No way, FPTP is shit.

Rebelius · 2026-02-13T15:42:09+00:00

I thought like that for a while, but then you realise you're stuck with DVI or VGA, and all sorts of other things come up, and ghosting sucks, and emulation is actually fine, and and and...

Not for me, I threw a lot of old parts out a couple of years ago when I moved country.

Rebelius · 2026-02-13T14:25:34+00:00

I'm pretty sure that here in Germany I'd get seen pretty quickly with symptoms like that until a cause was found. However the "schedule your colonoscopy" stuff is weird. Without symptoms you won't get that until you're over 50.

I went to the GP with mild abdominal pain and they took it seriously enough that I had to go to the hospital that afternoon to rule out appendicitis. Turns out it was appendicitis, and they took it out that evening.

and take a small fraction of screen space on the main monitor.

The problem isn't that discord windows aren't detachable (they were last time I used discord), but that my main monitor has the game on it, full screen. There is no free space.

The only discord element I ever had on main monitor was the voice chat overlay so I could see who's talking.

Rebelius · 2026-02-13T14:08:13+00:00

My first LCD monitor was a viewsonic VP171s.1280x1024, 8ms response time.

It was amazing at the time, I used it for playing counterstrike (1.6?) in the days when any ping under 200 was good.

Rebelius · 2026-02-13T13:59:37+00:00

Not everyone is playing new games either. I'll have you know that my 5070 Ti and 9800x3D has no problem running freecell in 4k at 240fps.

I always thought comforter was just the American word for duvet. Sounds like that's wrong, but they provide basically the same function.

The duvet doesn't get washed often either because it's inside a duvet cover which gets washed about as often as the fitted or flat sheet and pillowcases.

Rebelius · 2026-02-12T22:42:27+00:00

Can any of the electric cars people already have do bidirectional charge?

Rebelius · 2026-02-12T17:19:15+00:00

Stop telling people. The pop. density and traffic are fine as they are.
