Ok, but wouldn't it be an adventure if octopuses could do the same.

Na only Weeno is. Gumpy is actually Canadian.

I liked the little dog.

Lynx

(it's the British name for Axe deodorant)

All that, but he has said he loves the letter X maybe XlonOS.

I really can't understand the American culture around time off. In the UK my manager will go on and on at me if I've not booked 75% of my allowance a month after it has renewed.

You will work in the NHS or the firefighters and so on, so you will certainly engage with community members of all ages and from all wakes of life. For a year of mandatory service that everybody is meant to complete, 18 is arguably the best time to do it.

But anyone who's not 18 will be denied that "opportunity".

When you walk on a public road past a hospital do you think to yourself "they stole my money to build this"? You have rights and duties as a citizen. Your service benefits the community as a whole.

Exactly, I already give over a portion of my labour time via taxes to help society. Forcing people to do 25 days extra unpaid work is either slavery or a huge one off tax on 18 year olds.

There's also no exceptions. So you've already got a job that requires you to do weekends? Touch shit. So you've got staff shortages. Already work for the fire service or police etc. Touch shit. You've got to go pick litter up for 25 days.

The point is the smaller model was popular what was popular then, and the giant SUV (or even worse those massive truck things) are what's popular now.

He'll realise his own distro and call it OS X.

25 days of slavery is 25 days too much in my opinion.

Also if we're arguing that it's too bring communities together why is it only 18 year olds? Wouldn't mixing with a wide variety of ages from 18 to 118 be better? Also why is the stick to make people do it a fine (so that the rich will just pay if their kids don't want to do it)?

I mean, you guys made it into a literal lottery.

But besides that, the proposal is even worse than just conscription. His plan is that there'll be about 30,000 placements in the armed forces, which will of course be paid. Everyone else will have to do 25 days of unpaid "volunteering". Of the volunteering is mandatory and your parents will be fined if you don't do it.

Effectively it's slave labour for the poor and pay so you don't need to do it for the rich.

Luckily it's extremely likely he's not going to get to try to bring it in. They're about 20 points behind in the polls and on some they've actually been falling further behind since calling the election.

Would you even need a monthly plan for this kind of thing? It just needs to be able to install the app and run it. If it needs internet you can connect to WiFi. You can get a sim free android for about £50 outright now.

What a world we live in.

Oh I got whooshed.

OK you're gonna have to explain how you got to that. I actually can't work it out.

He misheard symptoms as Simpsons because of the hearing loss.

Cries in Tory Brexit.

It would technically be the fifth law.

Zeroth Law - A robot may not injure humanity or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.

Only if you don't think about it.

First you should stop and think: What is a customer?

A customer is someone that a company makes money from.

Then you think: What money have I given Facebook?

None (or extremely little)

Then you think: But Facebook makes billions. How do they do this?

They have loads of very targeted adverts.

So we who are Facebook's customers?

Advertising companies.

What makes ad space on Facebook valuable?

Their ability to target those ads to the right people based off of the data they have about them and to get you (the product) to see those ads.
