When I was at school if you were in say year 7/8/9 with no exams the last few weeks of the school year were almost worthless. Just watching random movies etc. I think school should take that into account much more

I’m all for as much remote work as possible, but I would love a study to include commute length and mode of transport. When I lived a 20 min walk from my office it was great and didn’t mind being at the office full time.

I moved away and it’s now a 30 min car drive which I really hate, a 1 hr bus journey, or 45 min bike ride.

I wouldn’t mind the bus journey so much, as I can read a book on my way, but the unreliability makes it feel so much worse.

And despite being longer than the drive, I much prefer to cycle into work, and I’ll usually do extra days in the office during the summer as an “excuse” to be on the bike.

It’s shocking that this needs to even be said. I can’t believe there are functioning human adults (and in my experience it’s mostly older people) who are so unaware as to be ok with blasting tik toks at full volume.

Direct debits should be switched automatically, but yeah agree about having to change it everywhere else

Why do some many of the AI posters look the same? Are they all just using the same tool or is AI that uncreative?

Ship the water from China to Europe, easy

And it’s cost double that to have a sham by-election in Clacton. Sounds a lot, but a drop in the ocean of public spending

Why is this such a big story? Other than people at Cambridge Uni, who cares? Seen like 5 different articles about it and I just don’t get it

Google search has got so bad in the last couple of years that I actually don’t blame people for using AI for this.

American’s knowing nothing about the geography of the rest of the world? Say it ain’t so

I swear a good number of American sports fans don’t actually like their sports. Everything I hear that’s “good” about the Super Bowl is external and not the actual game

What’s going on in Scotland. Was it Glasgow that also recently had a massive fire near the train station?

I’d imagine the games file size would be so large you’d need a full on binder to keep all the discs

I really need people to understand that oil from the North Sea isn’t nationalised and so is sold on the open market, at open market rates. Just because it’s drilled near us, we don’t get much of a discount, if any.

They’ll probably just fork forgejo add some slight “ai agentic” bullshit and market it as their own product.

I was going to say hopefully the forgejo licence doesn’t allow that but then again, OpenAI have shown they don’t really care about copyright or anything like that

Also that poorer people often eat more Ultra Processed foods, because it’s often cheaper and saves time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/future/article/20260220-how-ultra-processed-foods-influence-our-gut-microbiome

If they managed during the pandemic I think they can handle it now. I would like some departments to be moved out of London but I get that London is a talent draw so some staff would not like to move.

That’s still pretty high, we have all the same problems as the US, just on a 2-3 year lag it seems
