There’s no doubt the US military is by far the most powerful military ever seen. Even accounting for technical progress it’s arguably more powerful than the Romans or Mongols. What is the illusion is that a powerful military is enough to wi

If by “room” you mean “Wembley stadium”, maybe.

Well I was writing JavaScript in the late 90s, alongside things like server side includes. Come early 2000s I was paid for it.

Qbasic and nibbles/gorilla was around at the start of the 90s, but the proposal was 90s/00s which is basically the time period of the internet pre mobile phone.

The incident I was thinking of was about 2007 at Mile End. Sure it’s rare. But what happens when it does happen, last thing you want is passengers self evaccing onto 3rd/4th rail energised tracks.

DLR has a passenger assistant who can “drive” the train in some circumstances if required (reports of trespassing on track) but is not for driving and certainly doesn’t always happen. Only completely unstaffed vehicles in the U.K. that I ca

Typically on the U.K., if a service is rowdy and feels unsafe the guard will hide in their cabin and never emerge to do a ticket check. In other words a no difference in personal safety between a driver only or driver and guard operation. I

if you can already drive you can probably pass a bus driving course in a day or two.

When automated checkout machines came in I thought “great, now it’s shorter queues and I don’t have to talk to someone and interrupt my podcast” I was right. They are great.

When they have to lead an evacuation of the train, for example if there’s a derailment.

I’ve not had any of that on the London Underground which hasn’t had a second operator for 25 years. No delays in DOO above trains - at least not the kind that a separate guard would solve. The major impact is at stations without level board

Far better with the deposit protection. You aren’t tying to get money back from a landlord, they’re trying yo get you to agree to release some of it, it’s effectively held in escrow.

I have no idea what “mail” is, but I’d love to see the result of the outcome when they issues a challenge at the deposit protection company.

Impossible for what reason. Sounds like the airline would be happy to adjust if things like minimum connection times changed, but the flights still ran (or maybe a minor timing change) If the country entry requirements changed, that’s not t

The stock market grows by 10% a year. Worker income only grows 2% a year. Those aren’t sustainable.

And after. Women live on average 3 years longer than men, at least in the U.K. In theory male retirement age should thus be 3 years lower, but until very recently in the U.K. female retirement age was 5 years lower, meaning women had 8 more

Important to remember many traditionally female tasks were also automated and simplified - washing machines, fridges, air fryers, dishwashers etc all reduce the time spent on those “inside the home” tasks.
