Thailand has some of the strictest laws of this kind.

Typically you're looking at serious jail time if found guilty.

There's an ingenious machine the french used to stop individuals producing CO2. I don't recall her name though.

I have to use an iPhone for work and I don't understand a vast amount of the UI choices - and that's before data fuckery.

Only if their mothers were as well

You don't even need to do this much to be at least semi-informed. It's grim how many people vote without thinking because they just copy their parents.

My 60 year old mother in law only stopped doing this like, 4 years ago because her kids finally got her to admit that she just voted how her dad would have done out of respect or something. Madness.

It's not a government body, so it can't be official. The closest it gets is unofficial mouthpiece for the British Establishment™.

The BBC isn't a government body and isn't funded by taxes, it's primarily funded by the license fee (and selling broadcasting rights overseas).

The internet has royally fucked the funding model - as everyone and their mum has equipment capable of receiving live broadcast tv, but unless it becomes an official government mouthpiece it's unlikely to become something we pay for out of taxes.

You need to make more donations to the party in government my dude 😎

I really enjoyed it, although I do wish it wasn't so "draw the rest of the owl".

We get a tax free allowance of £12,570 annually, and then it's banded from there: Income from £12571 to £14876 is taxed at 19% Income from £14877 to £26562 is taxed at 20% From £26523 to £43662 is taxed at 21% From £43663 to £75000 it's 42% £75001 to £125140 it's 45% And anything north of that is 48%

This is calculated on income after any deductions from pay are made, like national insurance contributions, pension scheme payment, salary sacrifice schemes, student loan repayments and so on.

Fair enough - I didn't realise it was for visa requirements until I read the rest of the comments; my bile got the better of me...

Yeah but, how can you squeeze profit from that?

I've worked for Fraser Group (in a very different capacity) and you absolutely have dodged a bullet; they're an absolute shit show and are responsible for a large amount of the enshittification of the UK's high street.

The owners are shitbags and the rest of the hierarchy takes notes and shit downstream.

The ideal scenario is that we get good old Gay Space Communism™ but until then it's probably going to be mutual aid and community organisation that keep the rest of us semi-functioning.

In the UK we don't pay any vat on "essential" goods. And we have a raft of tax relief for lower earners.

Not that it helps much, but it's better than a poke in the eye.

How old are you? I'm mid 30s and grew up with stone for human weight, and kg for everything else.

LBs never (except baking from old recipe books), and pints for beer only.

I never know where the cutoff is for us lot.

The used to be - I had a flat that used an old style fused breaker. Fun times trying to replace a fuse when it had blown...

Oh yeah, we're gonna bring in some entry-level graduates, farm some work out to Singapore, that's the usual deal.

So, it's criminal to fire an individual after they join a union, but shutting a site is coincidence. Gotcha.

I feel this way about most love recordings of podcasts (or anything for that matter, with the exception of standup comedy) - if I wanted live episodes I'd go see them live.
