  • Easy, that's Andorra the map is post WW3.

  • Fuck me.

    (and the Sunday sun shines down on San Fransisco bay, and you realise you can't make it anyway)

  • Trust your instinct that the uni course you've chosen isn't right for you.

  • How is this guy not radioactive with the electorate like Boris has become in the UK?

  • It was a sad day when Opera dropped presto.

  • I prefer gestures. But if you like buttons just go to settings and turn them on.

  • Given Reddit's historic demographic that doesn't surprise me so all.

  • If I'd known that I might have stayed

  • They are leaving.

    Drexit (“Doctor-Exit”) is the exponentially growing trend for doctors to walk away from their jobs in the NHS, either to new healthcare systems overseas such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand or perhaps worse, into new professions altogether, leaving behind their well trained medical brains. This exodus has been gaining momentum for several years with the workforce now at breaking point.

    Four in 10 junior doctors are actively planning to quit the NHS as soon as they can find another job, according to a survey by the British Medical Association. The survey, released as part of the BMA chair of council Prof Philip Banfield’s new year message, found poor pay and working conditions were among the main reasons for junior doctors wanting to leave.

  • Yeah it's in the first line of the article under the headline.

  • Isn't the old joke that the average speed of traffic London has been about 15mph since the 1800's. (ie you're not going any faster now than when horses were the main means of transport)

  • Part of it is co2. Cars are more efficient at 60 than 70

    1. The increased journey time is to encourage people to find alternatives. It needs to be alongside improving public transport. If it it currently takes 6 by train from London to Edinburgh but 7 by car, you're more tempted to drive than if the train to 4 hours and car took 10 hours.
    2. less cars in the roads reduce their wear. Plus dedicated cycle paths narrowing them also do this. I also don't think I even raised this as a point.
    3. yes. You attack from both sides. But this is meant to be a controversial opinion so I just talked about the stick part of a carrot and stick approach.
    4. yes. That's the point.
  • To your edit, because land is too expensive in a lot of places to have dedicated parking

    1. reduces in city pollution.
    2. reduces road deaths. https://youtu.be/HeUX6LABCEA (this is 40 to 30, we extend that to 20 and she's probably not even going to be hit)
    3. reduces overall carbon pollution
    4. if done alongside improving public transport, walkability and cycle paths it encourages more people to use alternative transport than cars.
  • All roads in the UK that are currently 30mph limits should be lowered to 20mph, and those at 40 lowered to 30. There should be a systematic review of those at 50 whether they should be 40. National speed limit should be lowered by 10mph.

  • I can only imagine how horrific it must have been for people to live for decades under that level of threat.

  • Go largest to smallest or smallest to largest. Not medium, small, large.
