• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EMR services unacceptable, transport secretary says⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t imagine anyone noticed. EMR is synonymous with inconvenience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NHS staff investigated over potential accessing of tiger victim’s records⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Every bloody time.

  I’m sure the system isn’t perfect, but this happens so frequently that it’s reassuring that the NHS can weed out people who put their curiosity above patient privacy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Royal Mail on ‘brink of collapse’ as 400 staff quitting each week, union warns⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And lately we get cards through the door with just a QR code. So I have to pull my phone out to find my parcel which is sitting somewhere <10m from me. Good job everyone in the country has a smart phone…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wildlife park confirms tiger will not be euthanised after man mauled to death⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a number of posts which lack any care that a human died. Like caring for a tiger and a person is mutually exclusive and dismissing the person shows more love of animals or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK Vegetables 20-50% Less Nutritious Than In the 1960s - Slashdot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A link to a Slashdot discussion on a Yahoo re-post of a Telegraph article about a study.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Greek prime minister vows to ‘ramp up’ efforts to regain Parthenon marbles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Getting other artifacts in a swap sounds great. Like part exchanging a very, very old, grey and naked car.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Britain’s second richest person leaves UK for Monaco⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All this means is that I’m one place closer to being Britain’s richest person. Nothing else of note.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It’s absolutely criminal’: US tipping culture has reached the UK – and is causing chaos⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Since drinking Guinness became fashionable, it almost calls out for a tip. “Because you’re like: well, you’ve had to wait around for five minutes for every pint being poured,” says Double.

  Shame you’re wasting your time and money then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ron Gilbert cancels RPG project due to lack of support and funding⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “They have formulas that they apply to games to try to figure out how much money they could make, and in the end you end up giving a whole lot of games that look exactly the same as last year’s games, because that makes some money,” Gilbert explained.
  …
  He continued: “That’s why I really enjoy the indie game market because it’s kind of free of a lot of that stuff that big publishers bring to it, and there’s a lot more creativity, strangeness, and bizarreness.”

  There’s still a lot of creativity in big games but it’d be shame to see more movement towards nostalgia-driven/pastiche type games.
