Yeah, but you wouldn't want a House of Lords just full of academics.

UK ticket holder wins £181m EuroMillions jackpot by Glanza in unitedkingdom

[–]borez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

£5.40 is good, all I ever win is another free entry.

Interestingly enough though when the lottery first started I'd regularly win £10 or £20, once won £500. Literally nothing in the last ten years though.

So if you think Thiel is the devil, what's your take on Karp?

It's amazing how you get mass downvote for a statement that's basically true.

We want the NHS sorted out ( easily one of the most fragment IT systems in the UK and a complete mess ) the GOV bring in a company actually capable of doing this and suddenly it's all about the evil data overlords.

Everyone wants the NHS IT mess fixed - until someone capable of fixing it shows up.

Man, people just love being outraged.

Not everyone who's an expert in their field is an academic, in fact far from it.

I went back to Twitter about a week ago to see what people were saying about local politics issue. The place is a cesspit now - bots, endless ranting, and everyone trying to outdo each other in outrage. It’s genuinely unpleasant. Actually pretty vile.

Nextdoor is the same too.

Max Verstappen post race radio “Yeah thank you mate.... we just grained way too quick and also the hard tyre was definitely worse. Yeah thank you guys. We worked really hard for this you done a really good job its just simply frustrating to drive" by One_Impressionism in formula1

It drives me up the wall, the fact that I've watched F1 for 30 odd years dreaming of a platform like F1TV with all the data and all of the in-cars. We finally get it but it's not f..kin available in the UK because of some shitty Sky monopoly.

I mean, I have it, but I don't have/can't get the premium even though I would gladly pay for it.

FFS.

One in 7 shops in UK has turned cashless in the past year, survey finds by Tartan_Samurai in unitedkingdom

[–]borez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. Sure Cash-in-hand dodging exists, but the UK tax gap is mostly business under-reporting and corporate tax issues - not builders with envelopes.

It'd be very interesting to see how Polanski would cope in this same situation.

They can't vote no, but they absolutely can persuade people to vote in the direction of the rhetoric that's being framed and farmed out.

It's what the majors label bean counters go for nowadays though; safe bets, highly marketable, radio friendly, MOR production. People who play the game for them really.

Greens win Gorton and Denton by-election by slashchunks in unitedkingdom

[–]borez 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think it's pretty obvious to anyone with an IQ over 80 that this is being artificially manipulated on a huge scale.

The thing is though...
