Yeah. It’s a pretty meaningless statistic really.

I was definitely more likely to leave the UK after the brexit referendum than before it but I’m still here. The chances before were less than 1% and the chances after were closer to 1% but probably still didn’t exceed it.

P.s. I’m not a millionaire in case anyone is wondering.

I’m like that too. I can’t think or move fast enough for RTS but don’t have the patience for really thinking things through in turn based games.

Maybe the in between would be turn based with a time limit per turn.

Every week or two there’s a new ceasefire deal on the table and then Netanyahu says something to the tune of “but we’re not stopping until Hamas is gone”.

It seems that the negotiators don’t have the authority to negotiate for anything other than “you stop shooting now and we’ll stop shooting when you’re dead”.

It’s mostly in a spoiler tag and is intended for it to give you only the conclusion and you’d need to click through to get to the detail.

It doesn’t work on my client though.

Oh, so it’s bad for Russian trolls and hackers to interfere in elections but it’s okay for Indian priests?

I think that it’s the red arrow that does it. So much scarier than a green one.

Let me guess: Ukraine should stop their aggression and leave the Russians alone in their new territory.

It’s already a pretty common feature. My car has a speed limit sign reader and flashes a warning on the screen when you reach the speed limit.

It also has a button to set the car’s speed limiter to the detected speed limit.

It gets it wrong quite frequently though. Sometimes it misses signs and other times it picks up a sign on a side road that goes ahead where the road that you are on turns. I don’t know how it decides to handle national speed limit signs - sometimes it shows a national speed limit sign on the dash but other times it shows 60 or 70 instead.

I guess that you had an agreement that specified how you were to cancel the contract.

It’s not really a good idea to just stop paying companies that you have an agreement with because you could get reported as a non-payer which could affect your credit rating.

Edit: I’m not defending shitty practices that make it difficult to cancel or the shitty way that they handled this.

I was going to say “up to” £115k but it looks like most of them claim as close to the maximum that they think that they can justify.

I’d have thought that the costs would go down year after year as the financial impact on their lives went down over time. Theresa May’s is going up for some reason and why the hell are Tony Blair, John Major and Gordon Brown still claiming the full amount!?

It is always work even if it’s a passion project.

People used to make shitty websites with good content but now they need to make good, professional looking websites for people to even look at them to decide on the whether the content was good.

This takes time and if you’re doing it for free then you’re choosing to do extra work on top of your day job.

As others have said, there are costs to hosting a website other than the time that you’re expecting people to give for free.

Why would anyone provide content for free? Everyone needs to be paid for their work.

Also, “endangering” doesn’t seem like the right word. “killing” would be more fitting.

I have had many cats and have never had a problem with them grabbing the toilet paper.

Hopefully, the UK is going to take a couple of steps to the left shortly.

If it does, it’s not because the country is moving left but because the right fucked up.

I don’t get something about the article. They are saying that there is a labour shortage so they need to do this but they also say that the employers have all the power.

Usually, a labour shortage means that the employees have the power so you’d have thought that they’d have been able to tell the employers to piss off when they try to increase their hours.

I think that people didn’t realise that this was a joke. I thought that it was funny.

Sunak’s (official)reasoning when he gave the go ahead for more fossil fuel production was that we aren’t losing our dependence on fossil fuels any time soon and it was better for the environment to produce the energy locally rather than importing it.

The real reason was probably money.

I guess that it was an unknown prior medical condition. /s
