A genuine question; why do you consider George Orwell a ‘pathetic man’?

I’m not buying ‘they need data cos they offer more products’. The companies have made different choices in how they build their software.

Don’t collect data and there’s nothing to handover https://mullvad.net/en/blog/mullvad-vpn-was-subject-to-a-search-warrant-customer-data-not-compromised

I don’t.

Same, even with ignoring sprints. Races don’t feel special any more. But yeah, they only care about viewing figures.

I find this a bit misleasing, especially when (in the uk) electricity is only ~50% renewables apparently.

https://www.zemo.org.uk/assets/workingdocuments/MC-P-11-15a Lifecycle emissions report.pdf

For example, a typical medium sized family car will create around 24 tonnes of CO2 during its life cycle, while an electric vehicle (EV) will produce around 18 tonnes over its life. For a battery EV, 46% of its total carbon footprint is generated at the factory.

So EVs are a small improvement. Since I enjoy older cars and my privacy a lot more, I’m gonna keep enjoying them and not let manafacturers ram EVs down my throat, especially when a lot of them are hideous SUVs.

I agree it’s been more stumbling boulders than blocks so far, but I’m more optimistic. Even if it fails I think even just their effort can encourage more people that there can be another way, maybe the eventual answer will come from a different new party, cos like you say Labour is showing they aren’t the answer.

I rarely bother giving media any attention, let alone let it influence my opinion. What frustates me is when other people do.

I didn’t say anything was going well either. They’re barely off the ground and the amount of articles slamming them is ridiculous. We live in a so called democracy, so let’s let a new democratic party form and vote if we believe in them and their plan. I’m bored of this soap opera style journalism.

Does it? Or do the media continue to attempt to drive that belief into the public because they’re funded by other parties?

Oh look, another media outlet putting down Corbyn…

I think Astons race strategy was created with crayons.

This is where Max is more smart and ballsy. He fully commits meaning if there is contact it’s side by side and he’s not gonna get a penalty. Piastri was a bit half hearted.

Albon was flying, I thought/hoped he might take 7th for a bit.

There’s many gaps, but Liberty won’t allow anyone to fill them. The complexity of the cars compared to the content us proles get fed is madness.

Why is allowing vehicles running on alternative fuels that have 0 emmissions a bad thing? Why are we all hell bent on pursuing EVs, inisisting that’s the solution and just ignoring all their downsides?

He’s just playing the game like every driver does, but yeah the rules are ridiculous. Slight damage to your front wing and you’re usually forced to change it due to safety, but driving around with no brakes for 2 laps is fine.

I’m in the same boat. I wanted avoid boots as it says:

Eligibility criteria and exclusions apply.

And it isn’t clear what this is.

I found this service where it’s £75-£90, but I’ve not heard of it before so I’m skeptical, though it is offered through pharmacies. https://pharmadoctor.co.uk/patient/service/covid-vaccination

Lewis Hamilton has entered the chat.

I read up a little about why people dislike systemD

I feel like this isn’t the right way to research something. Is there any reasons it doesn’t work for your needs?

Yeah, Leclerc is tired too. Porbably more so.
