I think “considered” is probably doing a lot of heavy lifting there. I’m pretty sure someone came up with it, maybe even Boris, and then he repeated it a bunch of times in front of semi-relevant people in a jokey-jokey way followed by an “…unless?”
I imagine nobody with any level of responsibility in actually producing such a raid considered anything apart from how to most politely say no to the prime minister.
Based on the article it’s still going to be something you have to request, so you should still be able to have your current setup unless your company gets so many requests it decides to standardise on 4long instead of 5.
This is true. It’s still an awful lot more flexibility though. And of course as none of this legislation is written yet, it could lean either way while enabling both.
I’m a big four day week stan and I never expected to see it pushed during this parliament. Obviously the end result is going to be heavily dependent on what they end up implementing, but this is potentially huge for many, many people.
If you’re a gamer then I’d strongly recommend you get a playlist of bangers from your favourite games. They tend to be high energy, low on distracting lyrics, and if you’ve played the game any amount then they’ve might have gotten associated with a “locked in” brain state so you feel like whatever task you’re achieving is analogous to gaming.
My playlist has tracks from Streets of Rage 2, Golden Sun, Pokémon, Smash Bros and Super Hexagon amongst others.
I ran one on the other place if you want some ideas on how to format it. There’s also a lot of good books in the suggestions lists.
In the end I stopped because it felt like participation rates dwindled fast, but it did a good job at highlighting an interesting range of books.
I’d heard lava tubes pitched as one of the more straightforward ways of building a moon base, fascinating to learn that this would actually be a return to form for human dwellings.
Humans: we just like living in lava tubes.
Last night I stuck all the major meteor showers into my calendar. I’d gone outside and seen stars and remembered how l much I love to see stars and I rarely stargaze nowadays. I’m going to make more of an effort, especially for the seasonal meteors.
How dare you “two YouTubers” unname then when one is Ashens, king of tat, lord of the brown sofa.
It’s on his second channel for those interested.
Hoplite maybe? It’s on mobile but is a lot of fun.
I set up a play-money prediction market on whether this would happen, and it doesn’t look like many people have faith in Musk to pull this one off.
I’ve not finished it yet due to limited gaming time but it’s clearly not that long. It feels like it should have some replayability but I don’t think it’s very unreasonably priced. Probably not ideal if you’re looking to squeeze every hour of entertainment out of your dollar though.
Terra Nil is mentioned in the article but I must give it a recommendation, it’s very chill and restoring a wasteland or ruined city to a thriving ecosystem is a great counterpoint to building a bustling city.
I’m with you, I’m a big nerd but rarely bounced so hard off a sci-fi show as I bounced off Fringe.
While I’m aware of the Welsh independence movement, I’m never sure of quote how legitimate a force it is. Compared to the SNP, which have been a big voice in UK politics, Welsh independence always seemed like a fringe view and unlikely to lead to a referendum. I’m prepared to be wrong on that, so I’ve set up a few prediction markets (play money) on Welsh independence if anyone wants to weigh in.
Right, so I didn’t actually mind the original ENT theme at all during my rewatch earlier this year. Far worse was the outro credits which were deeply jarring every single time.
The revamped theme is appalling though, it’s doubling down on everything that put people off about the original and it’s far, far worse.
Wow, there’s some super cool stuff in there. Not sure what you’d do with Julie Mao’s corpse, but it’s hilarious that’s a thing you can buy.
Yes, it was just drama. You’re using the word “psychopathic” to describe the actions a small-to-medium business where three or four people didn’t talk to each other and something got sold that shouldn’t have. Unless I’ve missed a big memo, there was nobody cackling in their office over grinding a smaller business under their capitalist grindstone. I doubt Linus knew about anything that happened to the item after the review. The GN piece was “LTT is not well organised”. I could have told you that in well under 40 minutes.
Oof. I wasn’t too bothered about tech bros shanking each other in name of ethics in tech YouTubing. But this is absolutely unacceptable. I believe Madison. If there is no confirmation from Linus that whoever sexually assaulted and otherwise degraded her has been fired so fast their fucking eyes are spinning then I’m unsubscribing. I will not be watching videos every week where I’m trying to figure out who the creep is.
There used to be a Twitter account called The Strange Log which regularly posted things like this. Looks like it’s inactive now, though.
