I wouldn't trust that : for one thing, they list the "Entry Level Software Engineer" average as £57,581 when "Software Engineer" is £53,392 overall. Better in my experience : https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk

No that's definitely on the very low side for a London engineer unless you're a new grad or with very outdated skills. You can't directly compare salaries with the US though : the tax and benefits structure is vastly differen

Uvalde police let the shooter do its thing for an hour because they feared being outgunned by his AR-15. Tell us again how giving a firearm to Betty the school lunch lady will help in any way ?

What are automatic weapons designed for ?

> The problem is that USA is already full of unlicensed guns The Uvalde shooter purchased his weapon a few days prior. Most school shooters do. Anything making that harder helps.

You don't directly kill other people's children by either voting or having your own children. There are tests to allow people to drive a car though.

Uvalde police confronted the shooter outside but feared being outgunned by the AR-15 : they eventually let him in and took an hour before entering the classroom just for that reason. So yes, it did make a difference (and also shows that &qu

You have to start somewhere and before considering taking them out of people's hands, not adding any more assault weapons is progress. The Uvalde shooter purchased his a few days prior to the attack. Who knows what might have happened

Again this isn't unique to the US. Shootings are.

Use any other country you like as a comparison. The UK for example changed gun laws after a mass school shooting 26 years ago. Not a single one since.

As somebody who grew up with the Amstrad CPC in France (it was the best selling 8-bit micro there), I've always found the cult status of the ZX Spectrum in the UK difficult to rationalise. IMO, it's the biggest f***ing rose-tinted

Covid is about 10-14x more lethal than the flu (not to mention its other bad outcomes that don't kill you)

No, because the disease is much less likely to progress as severely once vaccinated, which lowers your risk of Covid-induced myocarditis. In any case : vaccine-induced myocarditis is almost always benign and resolves without treatment, and

That might have been true in the bygone era of "bands", rock music and guitar-heavy genres that Albini seemed immersed in, but in contemporary pop a producer (or team of producers) is literally all there is, plus maybe singers&#x2
