If ‘safety’ is your only criteria, then sure I guess. Personally it’s not too important to me - the chances of being in an RTA are negligible. I’d hardly call cars from the 80s ‘deathtraps’ either. I think we should get out of the habit of

Where are these places that give you massively discounted electricity at night?! Done away with around here many years ago… I wouldn’t rely on them always being there - obviously especially if everyone starts charging cars at night as it wi

> it currently costs about 1/10th the price to fuel up an electric car vs. a petrol car Can you provide some data for that claim. Are we talking cost per mile travelled eg like for like?

Just to add that if you keep and maintain a car long enough (Around 40 years), you never have to pay tax again regardless of how polluting it may be! Buying an historical car is very cost effective - easy to fix yourself, no tax, etc

hehe I have. You should try it. I suggest watching something like ‘Newsies’. It’s a great musical, and all the kids selling newspapers today have fantastic working conditions /s

Start your own company if you think you can do better / be fairer / be a better employer etc etc workers fighting their employers never ends how you think it will. They won’t raise conditions, they’ll just get rid of the jobs, out

Why did the chicken cross the road? Damn you my chicken just died! Offensive! 3 men walk into a bar. Damn you my son died in a bar brawl. Offensive! If you do, or say anything, ever, someone will be offended. It’s really best to ignore them

Maybe you missed it: At the Labour conference a week or so ago, an MP referred to Tories as “scum”. Yup, that’s the majority of the voting population, and the ones they are trying to win over, are ‘scum’. I agree twitter is a hateful place,

No they weren’t. Certainly around here, the order of events was exactly this: * Petrol stations all chugging along normally * Media start scaring people into panic buying * Petrol stations overwhelmed by idiotic buying In a few days, it wil

I’d suggest you should listen to what the drivers, refinery, and actual garage staff say. I think you’ll get much closer to the truth. Tesco aren’t rationing petrol due to the “driver crisis”. They are rationing it due to the media telling

The media need to be held accountable here. Everyone in the industry is telling anyone who will listen that there is no shortage of petrol (gas), and there is no shortage of drivers. Yet the media are still whipping the story because it’s s

It’s not just biology, it’s thousands upon thousands of years of evolution. The sexes evolved to share the workload, and specialise in different tasks. Men have greater spacial awareness so they can hunt better. Women have greater empathy s

95% of Plumbers are men. Are you seriously suggesting this is down to ‘society’ telling boys they’re allowed to be plumbers and girls that they’re not allowed to be? As I said, in countries where they have gone the furthest to try to eradic

Your suggestion that gender roles are entirely arbitrarily fabricated by society, is demonstrably false. There is an absolute ton of peer reviewed study and literature on it going back decades. People do what they want to do, and men and wo

Yeah for me mono was horrible for a week or so, then exhaustion for 2-3 months but nothing like long covid. Of course it could also be partly the fact I had mono in my early 20s and had covid in early 40s!

I got covid in March, I’ve had “long covid” since, or post virus fatigue... It’s certainly a real thing :) There’s many symptoms, but as most articles state, the main one being extreme fatigue, second one is probably brain fog. Another is b

I’ve had both. This (long covid, post virus fatigue, whatever) is a few orders of magnitude worse, at least for me. I had covid middle of March, and am maybe 50% energy most days, and have to do massive breaths every so often. After 7 month
