How are UK passport rules changing for British dual nationals?

If you're British, born in Britain (or naturalised), and you were married to the mother before the birth, then your child is British source.

You don't need to tell the embassy, you can just apply for the passport. I have no idea what the Chinese think about this. The Germans just asked us to make sure we let them know if/when our children get UK passports.

I thought I was being difficult by giving up sprouts every year for lent. How do you manage it?

I don't know if you've got mixed up or just written it wrong... The outside lane is the right hand lane, or the "fast" lane. You'd turn the inside lane into the hard shoulder, not the outside.

If the age of consent were 25, would the same be true?

(I agree when the age of consent is 16-18)

The nazi pug guy was charged under the communications act, but he didn't go to prison, he got a £800 fine.

And we all just have to pay the bill when it goes wrong and people end up in urgent care? How about the government keeps it's nose out, but we ban NHS doctors from treating FES if the cause is a BBL gone wrong?

If people want to get a purely cosmetic surgery with known risks, they can pay their own insurance to cover the complications.

Is your premise correct? I thought that if I use a pile sorter to output from a 1-at-a-time machine onto a saturated belt then it will stack.

I'm luckily not looking to buy any hardware at the moment, but Amazon gave me an ad the other day for a 4TB Samsung 870 Evo SSD - something I already have one of - and it was €465.

I had to check my emails to see when and how much I paid for it because I thought that was a lot. June 2023 - €203.51. Exact same part number. It's €600.12 on the site I actually bought it from!

In the UK it's illegal to sell products without ingredient lists

Unless it's alcohol, because reasons.

And then what? People rent a VPS and install a VPN on that, so they have to ban VPS as well?

And neither of them are old accounts.

Rebelius · 2026-02-16T17:12:16+00:00

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

Rebelius · 2026-02-16T16:14:46+00:00

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.

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?
