People know that a sub-community is like a subset. A smaller part of the larger community. Not a lower class of people.

Right?

Seems like it really should be down at number 8.

Oooh. A birther conspiracy all of our own!

They have more power now.

Don't ignore things like chair and desk height. Using the mouse your arm and shoulder wants to be relaxed. Not having to be supported by your muscles because you're lifting your arm.

Non story. Even though he's impeached, he's still serving and so gets paid. All government employees have received an annual pay rise.

People need to learn what impeachment is. It's not dismissal from the job.

I really wish they'd reprint the comments to give context.

Don't wait to see. Just lead.

Remember that for them to sell over half a billion dollars worth of stock, somebody (many people) bought it. Probably it was the other major stockholders that were ok with Musk's pay.

It's not always a good thing when the one sensible voice goes "fuckit. I'm out".

Are you talking about the same device? Op is talking about a Chromecast, not an android TV.

4. Labour are communicating their plan to the public really badly. All we hear is cut, cut, cut but nothing about what those cuts will enable them to do. There no positive narrative.

If you remove the buzzword AI and replace it with "statistical analysis of big data sets" I have a much easier time with this.

If he's talking about LLMs, we're fucked.

This was always my fear when I read the Labour manifesto. All the way through they identified the right problems that needed solving, but the solutions were all bandwagon jumping buzzword bingo. There was no understanding of the solution being suggested. You could just tell that they were repeating things out of some lobbyists mouth.

One problem is medical / life insurance firms. If they use the data to identify correlations (real or spurious) then they might make insurance unaffordable or just flat out refuse it to certain sectors.

Not everyone is looking for medical solutions.

Being an MP is an exceptional role, or at least it should be.

Interesting

Only about $60M I'm afraid.

Seems to be a number of stories making up possible things that can be said now that "fact-checkers" are gone. It's all fabricated outrage as it's all hypotheticals.

Personally I'm happy to see the back of them. No corporation should be in a position of defining truth.

1. Unlocked handsets, and then try a few pay-as-you-go sims until you find which network is good in your area. Then move to a sim-only contract if you find you need to.

2. Probably can't go wrong with Nationwide. I don't use them myself but I see people using them quite often, and they seem to be keeping their local branches open.

3. There are levels of supermarket. Waitrose is known as pricey but good. Sainsbury's probably next. Tesco. Lidl, Aldi, Morrisons, Asda. None of them are bad. All good food, but will get cheaper as you move through the list and less fancy. Once you've hit Tesco's though they're all pretty similar, except I think Tesco price gouges unless you're on the loyalty card.

4. Just register at a local surgery (=clinic) when you get here, and when you move you can change where you're registered.

5. The key with making friends for everyone is to maximize opportunities for it to happen. School is one, but group activities is another. What does she do that makes her happy?

6. No ID needed if you're obviously an adult. Only time people need to see ID is to check your age. (Bars, buying medicines, etc) But if you're obviously over 18 leave your passport at home.

7. Lack of financial history might be an obstacle, so people will want to know you've got a regular income.

8. Furniture stores will be on most shopping estates (kinda where the superstores are). Furniture Village. Next, Dunelm, The Range are a few I see near me.

9. Big supermarkets can be a good first stop for most houseware.

10. Go to your local shopping centres. You have lots of options for clothes.

11. ISPs are all national I think. There's a few big ones BT, Virgin Cable, Plusnet, but I'm personally with a smaller one called Andrews and Arnold. A bit more expensive but the service is really good.

12. If you consume any programming from BBC or Channel 4 then yes, you need a license. Post office will sort you out.

13. No idea on this one

14. Mexican food hasn't properly made it to the UK. I say that as someone with Mexican family members. There are mexican restaurants (Chiquittos for example) but they're not great. Wasn't part of the British empire you see.

15. Apart from "U.K. Culture Shock" type videos on you-tube... I dunno.

16. Not "sweats". That's for around the house at the weekend. "Casual" means you don't need to wear a suit, so jeans, t-shirt (but not offensive) and sweater. Be presentable on day 1 and you can adjust from there. Better a little too smart than underdressed.

17. No idea.

18. Largely unnecessary since COVID, but I still carry a few tenners with me just in case.

19. I don't think they care

20. Absolutely. Expect to be imprisoned as you get off the plane.

Sieze the cargo too. That oil has no business being shipped anywhere.
