Whereas Argentina, a nation which only exists due to a colonial empire taking adverse possession of (already populated, unlike the Falklands) land, and whose entire claim boils down to “it’s kinda near me and I want it, someone who never administered it promised it to me” is definitely morally right and justifies the forced expulsion of the only permanent population an island has ever had.

It is actually included in the standard license, just the documentation for enabling it is quite easy to misunderstand (it mentions several times that it’s for business only, but what it means is needing to enable it is business only. It’s already enabled for standard users). Confused me too.

You also lose £2k worth of tax free childcare instantly as soon as you earn £100k, a rare instance of it actually being possible to earn less money by getting a payrise

For such self proclaimed leftwingers they sure love Putin. I guess some people can’t let the 80s go

Have you seen the polls in the last two years? Or the that a majority of prominent Conservative MPs for the last ten years have already announced they won’t run next year to avoid their own little portillo moments?

They know they’re done and are holding on for either a miracle or something like this policy change to stick. Which isn’t impossible, but that there’s a good chance of him winning an election is what is wishful thinking. They’re done.

Some drivers hate them because they think buses are cheating by using them, and of course that one more lane would totally fix traffic once and for all

Presumably this policy is around adjusting them to not be bus lanes outside certain hours, which is actually the case for many of them at the moment, but most drivers ignore this because it would require them to be capable of reading a sign.

Luckily, these are just the last desperate acts of an unelected Prime Minister, who only got the job because the last one crashed the economy inside a month (who only got the job because the last one was Boris Johnson). He knows that the party will be condemned to irrelevance next year and is anxious to find anything that could possibly resonate with enough voters

Ironically Rishi Sunak famously doesn’t really drive, and once had to borrow someone else’s car for a publicity stunt where he inadvertently demonstrated that he doesn’t even know how to fill one up with petrol. Sadly he doesn’t drive because hes a gazillionaire, not because he uses public transport

Some companies main users that they want to protect are customers who consider security to be having one shared password written on the noticeboard in the office. Sadly, sms is just an easier sell to a lot of users, and even getting them to do that can be a nightmare.

As for why proper TOTP isn’t supported as well… the cynic in me gives you the answer “the auditor required we implement 2fa, we have implemented sms 2fa, now go implement shiny feature x instead of wasting time” is probably a common corporate response.

I kickstarted it 11 years ago, I’m sure squadron 42 will be out any day now, right?

Luckily, I really wanted a space sim, so I kickstarted elite too. It was far less hyped and star citizen fans always big up how they’re not the same scope (which is true if you ignore everything else about SC), but at least it was released and very enjoyable.

I usually try star citizen out every time I get a new PC to see if it’s any better just to make myself happy that I never sunk money into ship preorders etc

No-one in Britain would even think about tax implications, because there is a generous tax allowance on sales of private possessions, and private vehicle sales are wholly exempt

Last time I sold a vehicle the guy paid me via a bank transfer and the money was in the account by the time I’d loaded by banks app to check. So yeah, very different. I haven’t touched a note in at least four years
