One of Harris and Trump is going to be the president. Sorry but that is the reality, the time for getting a better candidate has passed.

It is time to pick which one you want. If you don't vote you don't care so you accept either outcome.

Voting is not and should not be wholly endorsing the person, but securing the best outcome from the options. You want better options then go into politics yourself.

What's the joke?

I agree with every point you made, and obviously this is better than having no cap at all, but this is exactly what makes the argument a false dichotomy, which the government is doing more than you were. Any positives are only relative to the single invented alternative, not any of the better solutions.

The simple fact is that public services like public transport, the NHS, postal service etc should not need to be profitable. They should never be expected to support themselves financially and should be funded by taxation on those who can most afford, not increasing the cost for use by those that most require its services.

Public services will continue to crack and fail until we have a government that understands this.

Thanks mate, edited

I get your frustration, but it is really important to keep spelling it out. I find it very frustrating to be on the receiving and of lines like I'm tired of explaining it to you people when I am earnestly engaging in a conversation for the first time, so I think it's best to give people the benefit of the doubt that maybe they really don't know, especially on forums where people other than those commenting will read it also.

Because Harris is open to ceasefire pressure and Trump want's Israel to 'Finish the job'.

One's hands aren't morally clean if you don't vote and Trump wins. Not voting is functionally equivalent to voting for whoever wins, and if he does win with a low turnout then those who didn't vote are responsible for whatever happens.

They could have renewed it at £2 and still increased the funding without taking it from people who rely on public transport.

No false dichotomies please.

The cap has been increased by 150 50% from £2 to £3.

Please under no circumstances do trains.

You seem to be in the camp of believing the hype. See this write up of an apple paper detailing how adding simple statements that should not impact the answer to the question severely disrupts many of the top model's abilities.

In Bloom's taxonomy of the 6 stages of higher level thinking I would say they enter the second stage of 'understanding' only in a small number of contexts, but we give them so much credit because as a society our supposed intelligence tests for people have always been more like memory tests.

This is now top of my list

If the immediate danger is the car, couldn't they shoot the tires instead of the driver? I don't understand how you can claim to not have intended to kill a person whom you aimed a firearm at and then pulled the trigger.

The first line of that article is

Without citing a source, Channel 12 reports...

Please try harder. There are people dying because of misinformation.

We were told he was fortified in a tunnel network surrounded by bodyguards and hostages as human shields, like some terrorist mastermind.

He is killed running alone from one bombed out house to another, by a soldier that didn't even recognize him.

Not saying he shouldn't have been killed, but it really shows the false pretenses under which this 'war' is being carried out.

Definitely had issues on first release, but a lot has improved since then without getting much coverage. Btw I wouldn't say that x86 has 'caught up' especially if your metric is power efficiency, not just raw power. Until we see a realistic RISC-V offering arm will likely remain king in that space.

Single point of failure for all my usernames and passwords? No thanks

They were humans pretending to be robots, these are actually robots that are being remotely controlled, rather than being fully autonomous.

Pretty sure you already can't block him specifically, I'm not on Xitter but have heard from several people this is the case.

Probably Miniminuteman

This is the exact metaphor I've been using when talking to people about the issue. Did we both get it from somewhere I can't remember, or is it just perfect?

Binary Large OBject

Basically any binary file, often objected to in open source repos because of the lack of source and 'openness'. See also the recent xz backdoor.
