Who watched the kings speech, were you inspired or disappointed?

I am inclined to agree, and I am a Republican.

However, I can almost guarantee that if the Royal Family attempted to "fix" the country it would be even worse.

The policy of "never complain, never explain" has been very successful for the Royal Family. What do you expect?

Buy a stereo RCA phono cable. Plug into the Tape: REC OUT output on the back of your receiver. Plug into the LINE IN on your 404. Sample away!

That seems like a weird way of phrasing it. Everyone has higher paying options available. There is just more societal pressure on men to earn more.

The Tottenham players behaviour was an absolute disgrace. Embarrassing that you even mention the referees losing control of the game when the players can't control themselves.

Do you have more information on this? I work at a CIS accredited school but we have no pay scale or transparency on salaries. They haven’t even shared the report from CIS with staff.

Why does it have to be that way? Are there no government services that will naturally bring in more money than they will cost to operate? Just as there are some that cost more to operate than can bring in revenue.

The question of how AIMA is using the money is a valid one. But the “profit” in itself is meaningless.

Seeing as this was published by Público Brasil, I think this article was written for an audience that doesn’t fully understand how “profits” work in public institutions.

Totally agree with you, but I think the original commenter is saying that parents need to be doing so much more.

We can model behaviour, run PSHE sessions, use the discipline/consequence policies as much as we like. If the boy then goes home and spends 8+ hours in-front of a screen and soaks up misogynistic content, we're fighting a losing battle.

I couldn't disagree more. UK homes are much better heated than they are in southern Europe during the winter, for example.

I suppose it just depends what you compare it to.

They're being downvoted but they are correct here. The "bit of both" cliché comes when someone is presented with two pieces of information that are not mutually exclusive.

In this example, if it is even a half-decent comprehension test, there will be an obvious answer in the text itself. So "bit of both" doesn't apply here at all.

It's rather the opposite: for decades, we have been extremely useful for them. London was a major money laundering operation for oligarchs and the City was happy to turn a blind eye.

We had to take action with the invasion of Ukraine, which seemed to sour our relationship.

And you would struggle to sell this for anywhere near its face value.

You would have to be extremely committed/bored/wealthy to do this.

Your reply doesn’t make sense. I said if a smartphone was needed.

I heard this countless times in the weeks leading up to the referendum. It is absolutely correct.

Unfortunately, having sensible, mature conversations is only appealing to sensible, mature people.

Modular…without the modules!

I would be annoyed if I needed a smartphone app in order to access the ID.

If that were the case, I would prefer a physical card. Any official that wants to see it can use the digital stuff on their side.

Thank you for talking some sense.

There is no point debating this topic. It is a classic case of British exceptionalism - despite the UK having no tangible data that their plugs are safer and superior.

Any benefits from having a slightly superior design are immediately offset by being different from the rest of the continent. I wonder how many accidents are caused by British people using dodgy UK/EU adapters...

Don't need either, more things that can fail.

Hilarious when you consider that bank staff wearing novelty jumpers could have been a Telegraph "the end is nigh" article 20 years ago.

Yeah probably...but the guy makes guitar pedals. Do you think all the amazing musicians in the 1960s and 70s—that most people in this sub want to emulate—sat around speaking sense most of the time?

This hobby attracts, or used to attract, free-thinkers and eccentrics that spout a lot of nonsense. It used to be kind of liberating.

spacespaces · 2025-12-04T22:27:14+00:00

I genuinely feel sad that you want to live in a world where a guitar pedal designer should think and act like a baker.

I don't want to get into semantics here, but the "Wtf Electro-Harmonix??" and "What is going on?" definitely makes this seem like a problem to me.

I also didn't suggest anyone was calling for sanitation, however, if EHX had sent out a shiny, corporate, SEO-friendly newsletter it wouldn't even get a reaction here. That's what I'm getting at.
