> if people would actually would start moving somewhere else instead the same things would happens there. Not really. Unless everyone moves to the same place. We need to diversify from London. Having everything centred there is madness.

My advice to "millenials" (well I think technically I'm one, so let's say younger ones) is to stay the hell away from London. I read these articles on the housing crisis and staggering rent amounts and wonder am I even l

> Change power pricing to be cheaper at off peak times That's already the case. But with 2 million or so cars sucking juice at night, that will no longer be "off peak" and of course the grid needs some downtime which will

PCPs for everyone! (joke, but seriously I think this is what they expect/want)

Yeah, not buying it until I see the plans on how they're going to increase the national grid to power this.

I see what you did there. But I don't live in the US, if I did I would feel the same about that funding.

by dev_north_east 7y ago
Yeah I don't see what that has to do with my comment. I don't want my taxes sent to subsidise their space industry, nuke program or military. Not a big ask really.

I have no problem with India doing whatever it wants and prioritising certain things above others. I do object to my taxes funding foreign aid to a country that have a well developed nuke program, a big military and a burgeoning space indus

Not British, but two Irish acquaintances of mine were rounded up and deported from the US in the early 2010s. I don't see a problem, they broke the law in illegally moving there. Such practices were common among Irish up until the 2000

My car has a touch screen and I hate it. Aside from being crap, I cannot safely use it while driving.

Yep, still there. I picked up a nice tree ornament last month :)

I stopped watching early in the season. The episode with the severed babies head... where it became clear that we're gonna get a spin-off about StarFleet spies... No thanks, as a lifelong Trekkie it felt strange to switch off. But I st

Weird that it's happening again. I wonder what infrastructure changes they're making to presumably cause this?

Ah yes, the SNP voting against the reforms in England and Wales (which they enjoy in Scotland) was hilarious. Nats gonna nat.

I don't do any of the above! I lock it, keep it up to date and are not foolish about what to run/download.

> take cheap shots at "lib" cities like SF Possibly but I'll throw my two cents in. Non-American here with no Dem or Rep axe to grind, SF is the most disgusting western city I've ever been to.

Is drug testing common in the US? Here in the UK, outside of certain fields, I've never heard of it and would laugh if I were asked to.
