Have the press only being covering his comments and not showing the footage? Easy way to tip the outrage seesaw when the victim is accused of being guilty of something worse. Doesnt help hes of colour.

While I think the latest weight loss jabs have been rushed to market and should have been tested for far longer before widespread release I have come around to them offering a useful tool to combat obesity.

I think anybody suggesting you should just eat less or just eat salad really doesn’t understand why people are fat in the first place, and they certainty do not understand insulin response to highly processed, high percentage of sugar containing foods for a start. “You are fat because you eat too much” is such a trite and unhelpful statement, why has that person eaten too much?

An insane percentage of people rebound from large weight loss, jab or no jab, we still do not have a proper way to address that. Until we target why people are able to lose large amounts of weight and not keep it off then we are not going to fix the issue long term.

Using them as batteries was forced on the Wachowski Sisters by the Studio because the Studio didn’t think the audience would understand the orginal plan of using people as processing power.

I mean using us for batteries is pretty dumb, we hardly generate any electricity, the AI could have just cows, as they generate more electric current than humans, and their simulation would be a lot simpler to manage.

Thinks reform will stop with Muslims, has book out talking about the end of the Tories, very obvious grift.

The amount has already been reduced because it would “bankrupt” the sector if they actually paid out the true cost to the consumer plus interest and this seems like more posturing to lower it further.

They have made it worse and worse by doubling down each time they get blocked punishing OAPs for wearing a T Shirt supporting the group. Its now got to the stage multiple senior members of the sitting government need to resign over this, not just the PM if they can’t make this stick.

Last time I checked you have to have car insurance in Holland, car insurers will quickly make this unaffordable for drivers if its as bad as we know it has been as the insurers simply will not want to keep paying out large settlements.

There are clearly difficulty levels with the two options, drive by wire and tge other being electric or hydraulic.

The former has been working for years, doesn’t spin the steering wheel while its being driven autonomously. It allows for fine control, isn’t coupled to the steering wheel turns.

The later spins the wheel which is a huge issue, works a step removed so lacks control and timing, is coupled to the speed of the steering wheel and requires more power consumption.

Its pretty obvious which is the terrible solution for autonomous driving, its not even close

What, spinning the steering wheel, which is what both electric and hydraulic pumps (which are the only common options for modern cars) would have to do when beingdriven autonomously, that is easier?

You’ll need to define exactly what you thing is easier and supports autonomous driving.

Is it what? Easier? Fuck yeah is it easier.

By wire you just send the same signals as the wheel does, without having to move any unnecessary parts. Its more control, less moving parts, faster and mpre granular response because of thst

For hydraulic pump you have to have fine control motors manage it and you moving the entire system.

Electric pump you have the motors but also the entire steering shaft to now move, including the wheel, and you have the same at a distance problems as before.

The first is proper control, the other two really isn’t as its like steering with long poles.

Easier for autonomous driving, now why we actually need autonomous driving is the real question when it doesn’t work safety in all situations.

Yes, the same Wes Streeting whose anti trans policies towards kids have resulted in proven higher numbers of suicides in that group. The same Wes Streeting who while president of the student union sold out current and future generations of university students by rolling over to massively increased student loans and fees.

I think of you’ve agreed a payment plan and then dont pay it you are in a worse position than just not paying it in the first place, as by agreeing to the payment plan you agree I’m the debt is yours and you can afford to pay it. Disputing the debt until it goes to court gives you a stronger position i believe.

Main difference from not paying your gas or electric bill is that they can’t legally cut your water off.

Obviously get proper legal advice as I’m far from certain or a lawyer.

The R5 is basically the third gen Zoe when it comes to tech, such an upgrade in terms of looks.

I would say it didn’t look enough like the concept car they showed that was so popular it got green lit. Plus it was a few years late in terms of battery capacity at the price point they tried to sell it at. £30k+ for 35kwh was a bit of joke at the time. Renault Zoe was a cheaper and had a nearly 50% larger battery.

I did a large scale data rationalization and migration project for a company that is heavily regulated. They can be asked to prove they have this or that document from seven years ago, for no other reason than they should have it. Not having it means big fines and negative press.

Hundreds of Tbs of data got appropriately labelled and migrated, even more got left behind on the old system till it could be decommissioned safely after a period of parallel running.

As part of the decommissioning the data was backed up twice, and I wanted the backup properly tested with some random file restores. Not a full restore, just a few random restores just a proof of life test that the backups worked. I was told that wasn’t a reasonable request and it wasn’t needed as the architect in charge of backups trusted his backup team and he “designed pragmatic solutions”.

I still mean to call in to the regulator in a year or two to trigger a restore request, lets see if a pragmatic solution design is actually the same as performing some basic testing.

You can add gambling adverts to this, it would be disingenious to suggest kids do not watch football

Its the same reason Weasly started offering the junior doctors more money

You can’t optimise for the test, thats what VW did, they optimised fuel flow, power, etc. A)and thats what got the huge fine because its cheating. They didn’t get out and push the car round or fit hidden fuel tanks.

You’re the one who defined these tests as real world, me i will take an average of results excluding outliers adding weight to real owners results.

For this, nobody was getting over 300 miles from normal, mixed driving. This test at 330 miles ish, lmao.

I also don’t live in a fantasy land that the car can get this level of economy. Also the 2026 year did have some modest boosts to efficency, nowhere near a 25% increase that these results show.

Honestly this pedantry and lack of any evidence all you have? You haven’t even looked at the details of the test for the 2026 car.

You really haven’t, VW demonstrated its easy to set a custom run routine because its a set criteria if you apply your mind to it. EVs are no different at all to diesels in that they can be optimized. All you’ve done is hand waving, “no they didn’t”, which isn’t exactly proving anything. Meanwhile they have the furthest out set of results of any EV, so I know what we have more evidence for.

Its the latest model of the Tesla that’s beaten the EPA mileage, the one you have referenced here:

You are looking at old reviews. Ones in the last year or so show the opposite.

and you said you would get more reviews for, but failed to do:

It is definitely not. I’ll try and send you a bunch later. There are at least a dozen that all came to the same consensus.

You need to show how a mid life refresh can result in an easy 25% improvement in efficiency from previous tests from the same tester, because to me thats just more hand waving using completely different cars. We are talking about Tesla here
