It’s about 5-10% more in the UK. The maintenance on a reliable transmission is fairly minimal but any mechanical problems are almost guaranteed to be a nightmare buried under a mountain of metal. I’ve been spared that trauma so far but I remember test driving a used VW Passat which clunked with every shift. Thanks for the test drive, bro.
Good call. I can’t remember if kahneman talks about it in the book but there is a fascinating experiment on people who have had a procedure that severs the connection between the left and right hemispheres (epileptics). They exhibit the impulsive tendency to explain away sensory evidence that contradicts their previous statements. The theory is that speech centres inhabit the left brain and in the absence of a measured analysis by the right hemisphere they just make something up without apparently thinking it through.
Do we know if they will be serving McDonald’s in the new ballroom?
The Orange Racist Ballroom does have a certain ring to it.
This works well and it’s not a hill I’ll defend but automatic control of temperature is better when it’s done well. In the UK we have a culture of driving cars with manual transmission and I’ve never understood it when automatic transmissions exist and are pretty good. People wanna feel like they are in control of stuff.
It’s ofcom but my phone desperately wants it to be Offcom for some reason
Offcom has been drinking, came home in a blackout and committed domestic abuse of 4chan. Does Offcom even internet? Alternative plot twist, Offcom is trolling 4chan.
I wanna say that Offcom is doing a good job and trying to protect British people in good faith but I feel like they are being used as a cudgel by the British ruling class to advance an anachronistic agenda. Don’t forget, they fired their expert drugs advisor for telling them that MDMA is comparable to horse riding in terms of safety. They want certain things to be true, regardless of the scientific accuracy.
But is it better than a big carrot? You can’t snack on silicone.
Identify a problem that you can solve using code. Use ai to help with syntax and code structure. Chip away at the problem a little bit each day.
Just torrent that shit while the streaming platforms get their house in order. It’s not acceptable to be racist to Linux.
Oh how we chuckled at the idea of an absurd racist police state.
This is a sane way to use LLM. Also, pick your poison, some bots are better than others for a specific task. It’s kinda fascinating to see how other people solve coding problems and that is essentially on tap with a bot, it will churn out as many examples as you want. It’s a really useful tool for learning syntax and libraries of unfamiliar languages.
On one extreme side of LLM there is this insane hype and at the other extreme a great pessimism but in the middle is a nice labour saving educational tool.
I once used a laptop in a coffee shop to write a screenplay. I had ornate facial hair and wearing a beanie. Shit was tight af. Later on I clogged their toilet.
Police get universal state provision of insurance? That’s a really cool idea we could apply that to healthcare.
How big is Penis Man?
By antichrist he means Peter Thiel’s inner child. How have these morons amassed so much power?

No compassion for fascism but every fascist was once a small child, seeking love and attention. They didn’t deserve to be mistreated but they eventually became a monstrous person that we now have to defend against without also losing our own humanity in the process.
It’s difficult to pick a suitable adjective for this guy, given the volume of offences. How about Lifetime Achievement Crime Ballroom?
