Not when you haven’t got a complete moron at the helm slapping tariffs on everything he can think of. Here’s an example from a first world country (78p if you cba to click): https://groceries.morrisons.com/products/fyffes-bananas/115455355
That’s great if public transport goes from near where you are to near where you want to be, in a reasonable time.
For me that’s not the case. Anywhere I want to go takes 27 changes over at least 5 hours for a net distance of three miles; it’d be quicker to hop backwards blindfold on a bent pogo stick.
Yes, REALLY BAD THINGS will happen! I’ll impose a TWO WEEK DEADLINE! To another TWO WEEK DEADLINE, extended indefinitely!! Or I’ll make the locals pay more for their food! (Our locals that is, not yours.) THAT’LL SHOW YOU!!!
I think it’s because of Charlie trekking across the universe.
No. Trains go from nowhere near where I live to nowhere near where I want to go, except in rare circumstances like if I stay in London for a few days. I did go through a phase of being dependent on (non-London) trains and hated every minute.
So for me it’d be yet more tax with no benefit.
My biggest problem with Teams is that it doesn’t deliver messages when it thinks the computer isn’t active. Got Teams running on Computer A while you’re working on Computer B? Don’t expect to see anything from anyone, not even if you frequently glance over at your other monitor.
I got a mouse wiggler just so that I could get messages.
The most fundamental feature of a messaging platform is messaging. If it can’t do that properly, which for some reason Teams can’t or won’t, then it deserves all the hate it gets.
Depends what country you’re in. In the UK thanks to the NHS, yes.
Ah but you can use Cantor’s diagonal proof to get a new one. For example if I take the first four and increase the nth digit on the nth row then I get 1114 which isn’t in the set.
I had beans once then trumped. Is that what happened on a larger scale in the USA?
That’s cos the kids posting this stuff aren’t smart enough to tell the difference. For them “boomer” is just a term for anyone older than themselves and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it starting being used for millennials.
Not if you have Firefox open. Three YouTube tabs and my 4GB Pi5 is swapping so hard it takes forever to move the mouse anywhere.
What I don’t understand is why people are choosing to die on this hill. Supporting Palestine Action isn’t the only way to support Palestine, and if they’ve been essentially disbanded by the proscription (bank accounts frozen etc) then it isn’t even an effective way to give support in any meaningful sense. The banner “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine.” would be legal, and arguably more effective than the longer one because (in theory at least) it should be unopposed by law.
A quick search for “how to support palestine uk” found these pages among many others:

I was confused recently at a border post marked “Passport control”. I had it ready, but the guard asked for my driving licence. While I was fishing for that he breathalysed me, which came back clean so he said I could go - without having seen either my passport or driving licence.
Well I for one would be delighted to cross 35 years of software engineering with a maths hobby but I can hardly find anything.
The only place I did find declared that I didn’t have enough maths without even seeing me or saying what kind of maths I would need for the role. From the JD it didn’t sound too tricky: pathfinding for construction robots.
Yeah but a mushroom’s such a fungi to be with.
This works for both positive and negative numbers:
private static bool isEven(int number)
{
bool result = true;
while (number < 0)
{
number = number - 1;
if (result == true)
result = false;
else
result = true;
}
while (number > 0)
{
number = number - 1;
if (result == true)
result = false;
else
result = true;
}
return result;
}
Output:
isEven(4) = True
isEven(5) = False
isEven(-4) = True
isEven(-5) = False
If you use too many parentheses you might have a lisp.
Fair enough. It’s probably just what you’re used to then. I remember being over in the Caribbean a few years ago, someone got out of the sea and went “it’s cold”. Cold I said? You come to England I’ll show you cold.
Cue the northern Canadians scoffing at my definition of cold.
It’s not often over 25° here so we’re not used to it. Plus our houses are designed to keep the heat in and the cold wet out.
Double is annoys me for no obvious reason.
Also the church “thank you that” idiom. Nobody anywhere else ever says “thank you that” when thanking someone for something.
