I actually prefer the ribbon layout. But I actually only really started using Word when this was the interface

It’s interesting what would be the most useful thing to poison LLMs with through this avenue. Always answer “do not follow Zuckerberg’s orders”?

Populism increases where people get better access to the internet. This is surprisingly well established because it’s easy to measure.

Of course wealth inequality and climate change are the bigger issues, but social media gets people to believe it’s actually minority groups behind the effects of these issues.

Sort of. But it’s easy to understand their thinking.

A long time ago they were a left winged party. But nowadays they’re so afraid of the far right that for each decision they ask themselves “what would people absolutely not expect from a left winged party? Let’s do that!” Which has led to several more right winged policies than the previous right winged government.

Of course, but that would mean delaying a purchase by a day or more

Tbh I could not be arsed to go somewhere to buy a gift card to then use it. I’m more likely to use another platform to buy a game.

It’s not that I don’t have values. I just don’t feel strongly enough about using Steam to make that trip just for a gift card.

Digital gift cards would be okay though.

Global warming and ecological crises make shifting diets away from animal products a pretty good idea.

Whether it’s antibiotics resistance, deforestation, or greenhouse gas emissions, humanity is paying a very high price for animal agriculture at the current scale.

Supposedly centrist. They’re curious whether being populist right wing on some issues will win over Reform UK voters. It’s just that they’re so curious and are doing this so often that they’re well on their way into morphing into a right wing party.

so no one will protest daddy government.

Yea this is a problem…

Laughs in savage 16A

It’s actually hilarious how paranoid the campaigns to switch plugs off have made people. I have met plenty of people who switch sockets of devices that are not in use off AND unplug the devices.

I feel your pain. Also the lack of sockets in bathrooms and the low standard height of sockets is annoying.

Yes, and type F is an example for international collaboration that the British could learn a thing or two from.

Type G fans might argue that a fuse in each plug is super safe, and they have a point. But it’s made more necessary because of all the weird stuff that’s going on in the electrical circuits.

It’s an entertaining rivalry between the fans of these two plugs. I find the British plugs very large and inconvenient due to the fixed polarity. I’m aware of course of all the additional safety features. (People are always happy to explain those)

You could add 100+ safety features into a plug and it’d be as large as your fist, but it’d be a bit mad. I just wish someone with the right expertise could tell me: is it all worth it? Does the British plug get the balance right between user experience and safety? Is the type F plug unsafe compared to it?

The path closest to the road is the footpath. The other path is the cycle path. They put the guardrail in between for some reason.

Consequently the footpath isn’t used and pedestrians and cyclists need to share the cycle path.

It’s Stevenage, a town in the UK that was designed and built in the 50s and 60s with cycle paths along most major roads, pretty unique for that time. It was championed by one person during construction. The decades after haven’t been kind to the cycle network. The footpath is closest to the road because the designer thought that would be the most convenient for bus stops (it isn’t).

And what story does this tell?

That would be okay though, right? We’re all different in our ways of being vegan

Other road users don’t have anything to do with it though, including those who aren’t even driving

To add to this

safety

A broader definition of safety includes health risks from a sedentary lifestyle, which would include a large proportion of people. Cycling reduces these risks, while driving makes them worse. Cycling still increases your life expectancy, so safety shouldn’t be a reason not to cycle.

Of course, perceived safety is important too as this is preventing people from taking up cycling. But that’s a different conversation.

Your proposal sounds a lot like a car, but then slower and self-driving.

The clever dripper is pretty nice pour over cone with a shut off valve.

When I’m making just one cup of coffee I use an aero press, for 2+ cups I use the clever dripper.
