  • The thick layer of wasps and flies on the yoghurty windows would also help.

  • As a parent of two young kids, there's definitely times where getting kidnapped sounds good.

    • The twat of a passenger who gave me a wanker sign in another car that was doing about 50mph in a 20 after I pulled out of a junction on a corner where I couldn't see them until I was already half way across the road
  • What is it about Java where companies are hesitate to upgrade? Do the Java releases always bring breaking changes or are the companies that use Java have a culture of not prioritising tech upgrades?

  • It's this. The company I work for will sign contracts with Royal Mail for 12+ months. It'll also give their business customers time to potentially switch to alternatives, either pushing people to First Class or maybe the tracked options such as T48.

    Gregg Wallace: TV presenter warned not to 'say women made it up'

  • I wonder why these parties don't just merge to create a single socialist party. And now Corbyn is starting another one.

  • Yeah it's more likely to be in relation to keeping Max. The team is toast without him, they'll very likely be a backmarker with their current car.

  • Exactly my reaction. I know things were a bit turbulent last year, but I wasn't expecting this right now!

  • Formula 1 @lemmy.world

    Christian Horner: Red Bull F1 team principal sacked after 20 years in charge of Milton Keynes outfit

  • I'm not convinced. There's probably a chunk of people who don't drive because they kept showing that they weren't safe enough to drive by failing their test. If the aim is to reduce the barrier to entry for driving because tests are expensive (they're £62 in the UK, really not that expensive) then those costs will only be countered by way higher insurance premiums as there will be more drivers who can just jump in a car and drive on their own and crash. Also as a driver and pedestrian, I really don't want to be on the same road as those people.

  • It's still just slowly trickling down. Any day now.

  • so the driving test proves nothing

    The driving test proves you can competently drive to a safe standard. I agree that you learn more through experience, but first you need to be able to drive to a particular standard before being allowed to drive on your own.

    What's the alternative if there's no test? You just allow anyone who reaches the driving age to get in a car and drive on their own?

    Millions of tonnes of toxic sewage sludge spread on UK farmland every year

  • No. But my wife does and doesn't reset the display so it'll just show 3 rather than the time.

  • First time I've seen Piastri really flustered, pressure's starting to mount!

    This request was obviously in a bit of a red mist moment, realising that he'd just thrown away the win. Drivers usually say dumb shit while emotional driving around at 200mph.

  • But why? Is there some kind of reference to something I'm missing?

  • I don't get it

  • Paul Webb, Reform UK's communities portfolio holder who oversees libraries, said the move came after a "concerned member of the public" contacted him.

    Good money says the concerned member of the public was Paul himself.

    Kent council bans transgender books in children’s library section

  • It’s just another tax

    Nobody is forcing people to drive over the speed limit. It's a fine, not a tax.

  • Is that Bernards watch?? That could come in very handy!

  • I'd get tea/coffee/sauce/jam all over that within about 30 seconds.

  • Where in the UK is he from? He's got such a strange accent, almost like he's South African.
