- Comment on Child poverty hits record high in UK with nearly 4.5 million in low income households 4 days ago:
And who do those 4.5 million low income households vote for now because it’s very clear Labour are not watching out for them.
- Comment on I disagree. 5 weeks ago:
Well and good but how is Kasparov and his lilac marigolds anything to do with it.
- Comment on Mexico’s deadly Coca-Cola addiction 5 weeks ago:
The original point I was making is that the use of the word ‘addiction’ was incorrect, firstly it throws the blame back onto the Mexicans which is a misdirection and secondly it makes the idea absurd by the comparison of the ill effects of Coca Cola with those of truly addictive hard drugs like heroin, thereby minimising the problem.

For Android read Google backup storage equivalency - Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos.
- Comment on Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row 5 weeks ago:
They have not asked Google for similar does that mean they already have backdoor access to Android?
- Comment on Liquid Death Quietly Adds Stevia to Tea Drinks 1 month ago:
Stevia can only be added in the manufacturing process by a cyclone valve which is actually quite noisy.
- Comment on Man, their reputation really has gone to shit 1 month ago:
What comes for people today will come for them tomorrow.
- Comment on Man, their reputation really has gone to shit 1 month ago:
Yes but this is not a move to increase civil rights within a still recognisable political system it seems to be the openly declared transition from a democracy to something else via an explorative but expanding coup that is being actively ignored by the sitting powers and wider population.
- Comment on Man, their reputation really has gone to shit 1 month ago:
I think that extends to America generally, all the talk of freedom and equality and now so easily camps are being set up to concentrate undesirable groups of people in and everyone is complying or pretending it’s not happening.
- Comment on As Labour touts more brutal cuts to benefits, how is this different from life under the Tories? | Frances Ryan 1 month ago:
When they cut winter fuel allowance do you think their own homes went cold. When they cut benefits do you think they will cut their own tax payer funded expenses, because expenses is just another word for benefits. Everything you need to know is right there in those two questions.
- Comment on As Labour touts more brutal cuts to benefits, how is this different from life under the Tories? | Frances Ryan 1 month ago:
There have been many studies suggesting austerity measures do not provide real improvement and may trigger downward economic spirals. Cutting benefits is an attempt to provide an underpaid workforce to corporations siphoning wildly unequal shares of profit off the wider population. A thing which also leads to downward economic spirals. So it is not different in the least to the Conservatives, neither party places the welfare of the majority of its constituents above that of business.
- Comment on School phone bans don't boost grades or wellbeing, study suggests 1 month ago:
Repeated intermittent forced withdrawal from an addicting influence shows no significant positive impact on comprehension in the short term.
The authors go on to suggest water is wet.

- Comment on UK shoplifting on the rise and more brazen, new survey says. 1 month ago:
The plundering of communities for profit to the point of collapse is being overseen by the people put in place to protect and manage society and now there is surprise and shock that people will not go home and quietly starve to death?
- Comment on Water bills in England and Wales to rise by £123 a year in April 1 month ago:
The great business minds running these public services into the ground for profit without any thought for the society that needs them and patting themselves on the back for being so business savvy should maybe stop plundering monopolies and move into the actual private sector and see how able they are there with real competition but I think we know the answer to that one. And while we are about we could stop tax payer funded regulatory and watchdog bodies that are constantly learning lessons after being discovered to not even provide the most basic functionality for which they were set up and then going right back to the same old willful negligence.

That looks very niche, surprising it was not made obvious during booking, made a funny memory though.

The Torygraph never did pretend to be egalitarian.

Welcome to the world. I hope you enjoy your stay, but I doubt it.

You seem to be under the impression that interface controls of any sort are there to maximise your ease of use. This is very much not the case, the controls are designed by someone that has never used the interface before, never will use it and has no experience in using any interface even vaguely like it. Your role in the endeavour is to try to memorise the arse backwards design and get by as best you can.

For you, right on cue:
- Comment on Mexico’s deadly Coca-Cola addiction 2 months ago:
Yes but harmful on the scale of foodstuffs where the headline was mimicking opiate level.
- Comment on Mexico’s deadly Coca-Cola addiction 2 months ago:
I don’t think there is much in coca cola that is very addictive or immediately deadly. I think this story is just some people in Mexico like drinking coca cola.
- Comment on Listening to the Quiet with Harrison Ford [4:58] 2 months ago:
Natural systems are not beautiful ballets they are savage red raw, unfair and impossibly pitiful battlefields, made beautiful only by our privileged position of working our way largely out of them. At the very start of this video he has the look my dad used to have as he watched us getting ready to sing Happy Birthday to him.

I actually can raise my hand for this one, the impact with the skin surface emulsifies the outer banana layer which is then readily absorbed by the pore system. Bananasplitsynthesis is a very well understood process.
- Comment on Sure. Whatev's 2 months ago:
Well that is a very simplified view of nature, in reality they do not always bounce and banana is just a catch all term for any elongated fruit.
