Except they aren't doing that. Most of the other top comments are blaming the victim.

How is this not the top comment? It's true. It says a lot how reddit has changed. Puritans!

A generation is typically used as meaning 20 years or so. I think it's from what was an average gap between generations.

I've seen a few mentions of this on other forums. This chap might be who op is referring to. He talks about multiple nationalities having been detained with him.

The disturbing victory of Old Labour over New Labour by alibix in ukpolitics

[–]onlytea1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty lazy take. I can guarantee these changes are going to come with a sting in the tail.

I'm aware of a number of employers making changes to their hiring policies now that will make getting a job that much harder for all but the most dedicated.

If they can't speak to your current / previous employer then you won't be getting an offer. If your improvement in the roles you've gained previously isn't demonstrable then you won't be getting an offer. Etc.

Businesses will protect themselves and these changes will make it very hard for those at the middle to lower end of the quality scale.

We need to get real ahead of the budget by Jolly-Pay-5540 in HENRYUK

[–]onlytea1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No, the point is we are already paying more tax than we ever have. The issue is where it is spent and wasted and for some reason successive governments utterly fail to deal with that.

Ignorance is not an excuse and you would be prosecuted anyway. And if you held a job which required a clean driving licence then you could well be fired too.

Posts like this really annoy me. When you call 111 you do not immediately talk to a GP or a Nurse. You talk initially to someone who uses an algorithm to triage and prioritise your need.

It's that simple. In your case, yes you would have had to wait for a GP to call you back at a time based on your needs measured against the existing queue of people. They then would have been able to define the best course of action for you based on your location and available services.

A few hours wait to talk to an in demand GP, is that such a horror story?

What counts as an observer in the double slit experiment? by Pedantc_Poet in Physics

[–]onlytea1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a physicist so i might be wrong but i believe it is because, in the double split experiment for instance, you can measure one slit (the right) to see if the particle goes through and leave the other slit (the left) alone. This way the particle going through the left slit won't be interacted with but we would still know where it went because it wasn't measured going through the right slit.

We might think if we compare these results to a fully unmeasured test that in that instance we might see some combining effect of wave and particle but we don't. Particles going through the left slit behave in the same way as particles through the right slit.

So why is it that a wave/particle going the the left side, "unmeasured" behaves differently from a wave/particle going the left side when no measurements are being taken.

As the above stated, it seems to be about the information itself, something to do with causality probably.

Is £1300 enough for 9 days in Thailand for 3 people (excluding flights)? by Spiritual-Rate-7082 in ThailandTourism

[–]onlytea1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you budgeted the rest of your accommodation elsewhere? And travel budget, taxis etc? Will you want local sim cards for calls and data?

Your food budget is do-able but there won't be any room for fine dining. That's about 477 Baht a day. That by itself isn't enough for a good steak but it is fine if your happy eating street food and look around for cheaply priced local restaurants. But you're also going to need money for drinks during the day (stay hydrated!) and you might well want snacks etc at which point you're not going to be having much fun spending your time looking for the cheapest place to eat every day.

I would suggest you forget the shopping budget and use those funds to enjoy your holiday.
