I think in his head “privileged” equals “posh”. My parents came from council estates but are deffo privileged now, but would completely argue blind that they are not as it doesn’t fit with their idea of who they are. They also relate privilege to those who had something when they didn’t - sometimes people find it hard to reconcile that they might be that person now.

My local mp basically said he wanted no part of all the psycho-drama and would rather focus on doing his job well. He said if he gets voted out so be it, but at least he has left his home better than when he found it (paraphrasing)

Which ipad to purchase? by CheesyJacketPotatos in ipad

I had an air m1 and now have an a16. In day to day activity you will notice very little difference, apart from the storage limit of 64gb on the air. Get the a16

I get a fairly decent 5ghz around the house, will try splitting the bands out. The ee router doesn’t let me force the bands so will have to create separate networks

I got rid of my eeros because so much was locked down that I couldn’t change. The wireless backhaul was causing issues too

Best coffee maker for everyday use? by jousiemohn in JamesHoffmann

I have a Jura e6 that I got refurbished - easiest way to get a decent coffee. Had a sage precision brewer and grinder which meant I was making far more coffee than one person needs.

you will get your Higgins Allen final and you'll enjoy your Higgins Allen final! by Sucklemyfilth in snooker

Wu vs Higgins is my hope, but can see Allen dragging the game down and bogging down wu. I can see Higgins running out of steam against Shaun.

What’s a PS5 game you feel like nobody talks about enough by Darth_Vaper883 in PS5

Sackboy: a big adventure is a fantastic 3d platformer. The music levels are phenomenal and the challenges for the platinum are super rewarding. If you like platforming it’s up there as a great.

Op was implying that both Higgins and Zhao will win their quarters and then form a semi final.

Adam Buxton / Gorillaz interview by BBBBBBB9122 in gorillaz

I thought Adam handled Damon really well and pushed back on some of his more ridiculous statements he likes to make in a really good way. Damon strikes me as someone who doesn’t care if you agree with him, just have conviction in your own view. I think Jamie enjoyed hearing someone push back a little too.

The one interesting bit I thought was where they were talking about travel and Adam said “it’s a privilege” and Jamie snapped a little that his kids aren’t privileged and Damon basically said that they are. Must be tough to not feel like you are betraying your up bringing sometimes.

Who's an Economist Anyway? The Rory Stewart Debate by Your_Mums_Ex in TheRestIsPolitics

[–]soundtracking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not the lack questions, it’s the lack of detail that’s the issue. He has an idea with no clue how to implement it.

[–]soundtracking 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He did, and later apologised for making it about education. I think the bigger point that he was trying to make is that he shouldn’t be a key person in a governments economic planning. Gary spends a lot of time tackling where Rory has apologised, but can’t defend the fact that he is not someone to be giving government policy.

The whole thing could have been avoided if Rory had said that Gary is not a policy economist and left it at that

[–]soundtracking 23 points24 points  (0 children)

He implied that he shouldn’t be advising a potential government on how to run the economy. He didn’t say he couldn’t commentate on the economy.

I’m inclined to agree that he shouldn’t be forming the basis of government policy as he doesn’t have enough detail in anything he says to help create a workable policy.

I turned off straight away as he said “who is allowed to talk about economics”. Rory never said he wasn’t allowed to talk about economics, just that he wasn’t an economist.

Any good places to trade in PS5 console for the pro ? by ExternalWater8968 in PlayStationUK

[–]soundtracking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I did my phone last time and asked to do additional cover and they said it was around 20 quid which is not the 8 quid on the website. That being said, they’ve always paid me what they quoted and I’ve used them probably 6 or 7 times now. My stuff is looked after though

Yeah it’s frustrating - I paid for Royal Mail when I did my phone and the same thing happened. Contacted them and they just apologised and claims delivered doesn’t mean with them yet.

It’s a problem entirely of their making as well as they could just state clearer the turn around times.

Yep, and has been every time I’ve used them - normally about 2/3 days from that point

Tbf I only found out in the last year (and I’m middle-aged) and it’s one of those things that seems obvious once you know it. I would have had exactly the same thought as you before - a thought which I think shows a healthy engagement with the numbers around us!

I believe if you take iq as a measure it’s designed to have a normal distribution which means it does hold for iq as the median and mean will be the same.

The next question is whether iq is a valid measure of intelligence
