- Comment on UK ‘one of world’s least work-oriented countries’ claims BrewDog founder - as he slams obsession with 'work-life balance' 6 days ago:
What do you mean besides the obvious
- Comment on Elon Musk wants the U.S. to “Liberate the people Britain from their tyrannical government” 1 week ago:
Yes that’s actually what the government was saying the entire time it was just idiots were construing something else from that.
I don’t know what you think “local cops” are but there is such a thing as Interpol remember. There is a standing instruction to arrest them if for some reason they ever came here. You don’t think the police consult the government do you?
- Comment on Elon Musk wants the U.S. to “Liberate the people Britain from their tyrannical government” 2 weeks ago:
Not that it makes any difference because the government don’t decide policy like that it would be the police that would arrest him should the impossible occur and he actually turn up in the UK
- Comment on Elon Musk wants the U.S. to “Liberate the people Britain from their tyrannical government” 2 weeks ago:
The country that has openly declared it will defy ICC arrest warrants?
You need to stop listening to the British right that never happened. The conservatives threatened it and then they got removed from office and now it’s not a thing anymore.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants the U.S. to “Liberate the people Britain from their tyrannical government” 2 weeks ago:
Not that the empire still exists of course, so what you’re actually invading is the land that used to belong to a society that no longer exists and a different society is there now and is unhappy about having to deal with this nonsense.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants the U.S. to “Liberate the people Britain from their tyrannical government” 2 weeks ago:
I’m also positive that the pole was representative of the US population as a whole and not just his idiot supporters.
- Comment on 🤔What is QlikView and How Can It Revolutionize Your Data Analytics? 2 weeks ago:
The account was created last Tuesday, this is its only post with absolutely no comments.
Yeah, obvious spam is obvious.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants the U.S. to “Liberate the people Britain from their tyrannical government” 2 weeks ago:
It’ll be worse for you guys though. Trade sanctions cut both ways and the thing is the UK has the rest of the world to trade from the US will impose sanctions on everyone and shoot themselves in the foot.

If he sees Bradford he’ll probably have an aneurysm.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants the U.S. to “Liberate the people Britain from their tyrannical government” 2 weeks ago:
My bins weren’t collected last week, now we’ve got snow in them and all the cardboard’s all wet and soggy. If that is not evidence of a tyrannical dictatorship, then I don’t know what is.
- Comment on Two decades after Enron’s bankruptcy, the company is back as a crypto firm? 2 weeks ago:
Is crypto still really a thing? I thought that scam had sailed.
Hell we’ve had a whole other GPU sink since then.
- Comment on Two decades after Enron’s bankruptcy, the company is back as a crypto firm? 2 weeks ago:
All the countries are really very close together and the airline industry is just in on it. They’re really just flying around in circles to make it seem like the trip takes a long time. The Atlantic is only about 200 miles across, Europe is basically just over the horizon.
That’s what happened to Amelia Earhart, she found out about it and was going to tell everyone so they had to stop her.
- Comment on Canada joins the hunt for rare earths to make chips 2 weeks ago:
They are called rare Earth elements, but they don’t really rare. They are just not well distributed.
For example magnesite is a rare earth element, yet it’s so abundantly available it’s often sold as a cheap toy.
- Comment on There’s No Dancing Around It: Apple’s Vision Pro Was An Ugly Dud 2 weeks ago:
Calling it a dev kit is just copism.
Apple never advertised this as anything other than a fully baked product. There was no suggestion that this was a prototype or development preview. This was being sold as the next big thing in computing.
The thing is it’s an actually decent product, if they just made it with slightly less advanced components, an integrated battery, and the ability to connect to any computer not just a Mac it could be something interesting. I am sure somebody else will come along with a more realistic version of the product in the next year or so.

Yes you could absolutely do it with a camera and a computer screen and some software but I can’t see how glass or plastic lenses could possibly be expected to do it
- Comment on Self-Driving Waymo Cab Smashes Into Delivery Robot 2 weeks ago:
Yeah everyone knows the best crushes are on liveleak
- Comment on Self-Driving Waymo Cab Smashes Into Delivery Robot 2 weeks ago:
So I’m finding it hard to find a release date for humans, but I’m fairly short predated the invention of self-driving cars.
For example I seem to remember being alive in the 1990s
- Comment on There’s No Dancing Around It: Apple’s Vision Pro Was An Ugly Dud 2 weeks ago:
What is the point in developing something so expensive that nobody buys it?
Like sure it’s got some really cool tech in it but since literally no one has made any apps for it what’s the point.
- Comment on There’s No Dancing Around It: Apple’s Vision Pro Was An Ugly Dud 2 weeks ago:
Yeah like helicopters, they are accessible at a price point for people who can afford them.
- Comment on LegalEagle Suing PayPal's Honey 2 weeks ago:
I don’t get how anyone thought they would work. If your color blind they obviously don’t magically alter the receptors in your eyes.
- Comment on Deadline to record historic footpaths to be scrapped 3 weeks ago:
There’s a public access fruit right by a property owned by one of the Trump’s around me. I’ve made extra sure to register it just to irritate them.
Next time I walk past it I must remember to take a picture, because it is quite spectacularly tasteless.
- Comment on Deadline to record historic footpaths to be scrapped 3 weeks ago:
I wish the NFU would decide what the hell their priorities are and then stick to them for 5 minutes. They seem to swing wildly from issue to issue, without ever really improving things for farmers.
I grew up on a farm and we had some tracks through our fields, it was a total non issue as long as people kept dogs on leads. One time we had a helicopter land in one of our fields and even that wasn’t a problem, everything sprung back up after a while. Although immediately afterwards everything did kind of look like a mini nuke had gone off.

Oh that’s why he never visits Clapton it’s too close to the sea
- Comment on GTA 6 will have a 'significant online mode' to generate revenue for years into the future 5 weeks ago:
That’s my big problem with the online mode as well. They could have actually made it fun but it’s totally unplayable because they don’t do anything about hackers while at the same time even by legitimate means giving players access to fucking sci-fi death machines.
I’m so sick of spawning in and instantly getting blown up by a flying motorcycle with infinite rockets. That’s not even fun gameplay for the person the flying motorcycle.
- Comment on GTA 6 will have a 'significant online mode' to generate revenue for years into the future 5 weeks ago:
Oh well I’m definitely going to get the game then. I was concerned that it wouldn’t be maximally profitable for shareholders.
I don’t need to know anything about the gameplay just that someone who isn’t me will make a lot of money out of this.
- Comment on Undercover officer denies role in arson attack on Debenhams in 1987 1 month ago:
I don’t think undercover offices wear body comes anyway, I feel like it might be a bit of a giveaway. Although I suppose they could always just pretend to be a tiktoker
- Comment on Guardian signs controversial deal to sell The Observer to Tortoise Media 1 month ago:
Apart from anything else nobody wants British institutions sold to American multinationals, only bad things can possibly come of that.
- Comment on First UK arrest made over filming of women on nights out without consent 1 month ago:
He was arrested for harassment, which was already illegal. This is one of those laws that is one of those laws that is one of those laws that the use as an enhancement, on top of the actual reason for arrest rather than the reason for arrest itself.
- Comment on First UK arrest made over filming of women on nights out without consent 1 month ago:
Yeah it’s a bit creepy to film people without their consent but it’s a bad precedent to said because how do you tell if someone’s deliberately filming you or you’re just in the background of the video. It’s all subjective.
- Comment on No 10 indicates Benjamin Netanyahu faces arrest if he enters UK 1 month ago:
Oh well problem solved then. You know since he’s always coming to the UK, he’ll probably turn up to watch the Blackpool illuminations.
