It’s getting so bad that some people can’t distinguish between British and American punctuation conventions.

Same reason you might use 22/7 instead of the exact value of π. If I look at a clock and see it’s about ten to 2, it’s rare to never that I actually need to know it’s 1:53:22.57365785285978520256734567314854372354675466099.

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): groceries.morrisons.com/products/…/115455355

We even measure the same thing using different standards. The three tyre measurements are taken in mm, mm, and inches.
I put it down to us being smarter than everyone else.

Six strawmen in a single post! Well done, that must be some kind of record!
- Comment on Political discourse 1 month ago:
That’s still an oversimplification. In reality political opinion varies across a spectrum; it’s not just hard left, hard right, or no opinion. My own views for example are a little left of centre with a leaning towards liberty (i.e. away from authoritarian). So of course I get called a nazi by the hard left, and a tankie by the hard right, both of which are utter nonsense.

- Comment on If the UK government proposed to increase tax by 1% and make trains free would you be in favour? 1 month ago:
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.

Maybe that’s the problem. A lot of the ladies I know say that sort of thing is uncomfortable.
- Comment on Joseph is still not buying her story 2 months ago:
Luke 1 says the Holy Spirit came on her, so I’m not sure how she got up the duff from that. Maybe she had to scoop up the holy jizz and shove it up herself.

Given the context he’s talking about judging people by their looks. You cannot tell just by looking at someone whether or not their immigration status is legal. You need more information than just their apparent ethnicity.

Do you think AI did that on its own, or did a human come up with the gag and use AI to illustrate it for them, maybe because they were crap at drawing?

Yeah you’re right to be cautious. A random user ID and a state name is more than enough for the Feds to be able to figure out whose door to kick in.

- Comment on Former magistrate, 81, faces six months in jail for Palestine Action vigil 2 months ago:
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.

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.
