An air fryer that does a good job can be had for under £100. Show me a pro-level oven in the same price range and I'd buy one of them. As it stands, I use the air fryer.

It’s always come across as nothing more than a “ye olde” spelling to me.

If anything I would expect machines to be be better at determining people's feelings. Unless you know the person well, you are using things like facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice to figure out how someone is feeling,

Using a specific definition of a word to tell people they’re wrong about their own identity usually doesn’t go over very well. “British” almost always means “identifies with the UK”.

I recently became vegan, and I compare it to being straight-edge (i.e. not taking drugs). I don’t think there is a moral aspect to taking drugs, and I disagree with the way straight-edge people invent one and talk down to people who take dr

A decade ago it was a good watch because every single time they had something brand new. Of course it’s difficult to follow that trend but for a long time now it’s just been iterative updates. Maybe it’s just because I’m getting older and m

Who are those people? I looked Price up on YouTube and he’s some kind of musician, but who’s Sheridan?

I don’t know if I’m weird (well, at least in this specific case), but the very act of picking an instance feels like I’m making a statement in support of that instance. If I say my email is @gmail.com I don’t feel like I’m making a statemen

Yeah usually the articles are just jumping-off points for related discussions, which is perfectly fine in my opinion

In many cases rich people aren’t punished in real terms at all, they actually make money. How many times have we seen rich people defrauding the public or causing them harm, only for them to be given some slap-on-the-wrist fine years later.

Something being illegal doesn’t say anything about its morality. Many things that we now think are normal were illegal not too long ago, and in many cases things are made illegal to protect the established powers. Personally I only follow l

Being contrarian for no other reason than to annoy, or trying to get under someone’s skin, ignoring their arguments and riding roughshod over what they’re trying to say. Things people avoid doing in real life because very soon after doing t

Do traditional banks protect customer interests? They may now after being forced to, but the UK government is deregulating the banking sector considerably to try and avoid losing even more face by London losing financial capital status, and

David Friedman appears to be a so-called “anarcho-capitalist”, which is not what this article is talking about. Anarchy is inherently incompatible with capitalism. Anarchy is the dismantling of hierarchies, the removal of rulers. Capitalism

I find these industries particularly distasteful. It's a blacklist rather than a whitelist.

I'm an anarchist (think left-wing libertarian) so I see those two industries as particular offenders in furthering the aims of capital. It's a pretty easy decision to exclude those industries with that perspective, which I'm

I don't know too much about crypto, it doesn't really interest me and I've never bothered to find out more about it. It does seem to be some right-wing libertarian thing so reflexively I'm suspicious, but some of the cla

I think it's almost impossible unless you start a business yourself and run it without hierarchies, and with everyone involved being treated as as an end in themselves and not just a means to increase the company value. If I ever make

No, because in my experience in order to get adequate compensation over time you need to change job. I graduated in 2017 and I now earn 240% of my graduate salary. 12.5% of the difference came from internal pay rises, 87.5% came from changi
