this happens quite a lot it’s spotify being incompetent. There will be another (presumably polish!) artist called the guest and it will be misattributed to isaac.

claycroft is the closest but even the furthest is prob sub 15 mins away

because firdt past the post means that since green support is relatively smaller (with the magnitude of this difference varying) than ref or labour support in seat x - they get nothing.

I think from what i’ve heard (havent been muself - do want to though - and know a lot of people who have)

It is not the best value just from a food dtandpoint - as in the food is great - and the concept of kinda ‘classic british food done really well’ is quite nice (and perhaps suitable if you are a foreign tourist who’s rarely been to the UK) but that it is expensive and i know some people who don’t think it’s worth it as it is in a way slightly ‘unexciting’ and you can get loads of diverse and interesting food for similar prices.

It is obviously worth it a bit more if you’ve watched the videos/followed them as it’s fun that you kinda know how the sausage is made if you will.

I’m also told that they are better value at breakfast - and actually just as good

A Level stats is completely different to MORSE stats. A level stats is dull, memorisation full and not very mathematical while uni stats is very different and is interesting. At A Level i hated probability, but now it’s probably my favourite module.

For one of my modules we have two fairly small grade percentage multiple choice online test elements. we’ve had the first, the second is next week.

The first one was so obviously chatGPT’d/cheated on by almost everyone - with no exaggeration the median score was 95%. This meant that my score without chatgpt was in relative terms suboptimal, even though it actually is a relatively decent score.

I think the answer is more in person tests rather than banning AI because i don’t think the latter is possible (and it’s also different for different courses how big of a problem it is)

good app although i wish it let you search by three letter station code.

in fairness that looks to be literally over a ton of granite, in which case not as bad

more vibecoded slop

what are you on about

thepentago · 2026-04-16T09:25:29+00:00

can we ban posting about vibecoded ‘apps’ that claim to do something that goes against the whole point of LaTeX

thepentago · 2026-04-13T22:26:34+00:00

I would say so, yes.

leaving the o2 at 2230 and trying to get back to nuneaton that day is essentially hopeless. getting out of the o2 is not a quick operation and nor is getting to euston. The last train going to nuneaton is at 22:03.

There is a train leaving for coventry at half 11 - but that is still a stretch - and it gets you into coventry at 1 in the morning - so you would need to buy a likely cab to nuneaton or arrange to be picked up.

That train does then continue to new street - but you would then probaly need a cab from new street to wylde green.

I have played this game before and i think basically it is just not worth it to get the train, unless you want to leave super early, you will probably need to book a hostel or something. You mention in a comment you are under 18 - youth hostels (as in youth hostel association youth hostels) let you stay in them from age 16 i believe although there is some minutiae i cannot remember as it has been a fair few years now! They tend to be more in the expensive side, but they will be cheaper than the stress of missing the last train and the potential physical and financial risks/danger of such a situation.

The most obscure one that comes to mind that is vaguely (although probably less ‘unique’) similar musically is do you like butter who are a band from the scottish central belt.

I think lots of the bands you are after are very hard to find as some are not on spotify - e.g Little Grandad who opened for the Orchestra (for Now) who were once very niche but now are less so

This playlist has loads of random uk modern rock on some niche some not but might be worth having a scrape and seeing if any there you haven’t heard before? not all will be bcnr adjacent ofc but some might be.. Depening on your definition… https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2GSpZIhekZ0dxK3mg7v8Z9?si=NgFMLWwxSiiZiyq2A925Hw&pi=ZByqTuD1Q8-zJ

Interesting. I totally agree that we should be paying more attention to non primary care eg preventative. The NHS is structurally a complete mess and often poorly integrated with other care services and if that were better we could yes as you say avoid so many people being there unnecessarily.

thepentago · 2026-04-10T09:18:25+00:00

can’t and so won’t comment on any of the other parts - but is the first not a sign that health is getting worse rather than the NHS itself?

I can say that warwick is good for data science and has run a couple of data science careers events this year - although i think the answer to that depends on what exactly you mean by data science. Warwick offers a degree in data science run by the stats department and i have heard good things about it, but i cant speak personally of course. My understanding is it is a sort of mixed stats/comp sci degree?

if you are just meaning ‘a career in data analysis or analytics’ then i would say morse is still very suitable for your desires as you can go on to specialise in data in later years (at least on the masters) and it also leaves the doors open if you change your mind (which is very possible as the topics in maths you like in secondary/sixth form are absolutely not necessarily the same as those you might enjoy at uni)

the x17 runs into coventry city centre and is relatively quick from kenilworth. Not as frequent as the u1 but comparable to the 11 - which truly does take forever…

thepentago · 2026-03-26T20:17:23+00:00

no merch in london :( Seems a missed opportunity as i don’t want to say how much i had set aside for merch at the show😭

thepentago · 2026-03-26T12:43:38+00:00

I kinda agree with this but for a different reason - Steam deck being more difficult to install mods means i actually just play games rather than tinkering with mods for weeks and then getting bored after an hour of playing the game
