Dammit, I came here to make that comment!
- Comment on Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking 1 week ago:
It really depends on the company. You can make fully remote work, you can make 20-40% work or you can do 80-100% work. However the company needs to be run with that in mind to ensure good communication/team building etc.
You also can’t just change the rules. If you change the split someone is going to be unhappy.
(And accept that your possible talent pool is reduced when you don’t offer remote work)

- Comment on Tesla is already pulling back Supercharger plans after firing team 2 weeks ago:
Could be supervillain problems 🤣 comments about wishing someone would go away and an underling resolves it’s in a more permanent way …
Probably not, it’s just that his entire exec team are spineless henchman.
I think the spacex team is still independent (ish) for now, I fear for them though!
- Comment on Tesla is already pulling back Supercharger plans after firing team 2 weeks ago:
I really want to see the email/message exchange preceding some of these changes at twitter/Tesla.
Is there any pushback/discussion any more, or does Elon just say jump and entire departments vanish?

- Comment on "Batch cooking" how do you store meal for the second half of the week ? 3 weeks ago:
I tend to put 2 - 3 days worth of stuff in the fridge, then freeze the rest (if it’s something reheatable)
I then eat something else from the freezer for the rest of the week so I don’t eat the same thing for a whole week.
- Comment on Royal Mint to stop making overseas coins after 700 years 5 weeks ago:
The Royal Mint’s currency arm loses money, and made losses of £13.1million in 2022/23, up from £4.5million the year before.
Making a loss out of making money! Do you think they have to mint their own overtime?!? /S (Discworld joke)
It’s effectively a luxury item right, you would have thought that the market for that would have been fine? Unless they are just being undercut too much by foreign manufacturers?

YouTube runs at a loss still I believe? Low res is probably supportable, but 4k etc gets expensive.

Haha, so it was never AI? Just an Indian person getting annoyed at the people trying all kinds of weird tricks to see if they could defeat the ‘AI’ 🤣

Have you got your language set on your account? (Open settings on browser not app) It should auto filter based on that. I see very little non English stuff. (Small instance though)
- Comment on Every single jigsaw puzzle in the store was one of these. 1 month ago:
That kind of jigsaw can be much more interesting than normal ones, you discover the image (with clues).
Wasgij do something similar, where the box art shows the reaction to the actual jigsaw image.

- Comment on Why did we give up on insulation? 4 months ago:
Most houses in the UK have double glazing. Not all (somehow - if there isn’t a grant for that there should be!) but by now most have upgraded.
Triple glazing appears to be getting started, I got a free upgrade to triple when I upgraded!

Is the market not getting saturated at this point? The non old steam deck is ridiculously cheap.
How many companies can make this work at a profitable level?

Would they not have had to give access to location services for this to happen though? Google is very good at giving me a “only while using this app” option for this kind of stuff now.

- Comment on Britain is one of the world’s oldest democracies, but some worry that essential rights and freedoms are under threat 4 months ago:
The UK is a democracy. Some may argue about how good of one it is, but it is one.
The whole monarchy being technically all powerful is really a break glass in case of emergency thing. They can intervene once, then we would be a republic. (See 1975 dissolution of the Australian government by the crown)

- Comment on What was the original use of the ‘☠️’ emoji 4 months ago:
The skull and crossbones has pirate connotations. Or just for danger/death.
It was added to Unicode in 1993 so it’s an original emoji.

Your title implies they lost all the bad stuff though

Isn’t it saying that they didn’t have those bits so couldn’t loose them?
It would have been more useful (but look worse for them!) If they just listed what was lost…
- Comment on Stonehenge campaigners’ last-chance bid to save site from road tunnel 5 months ago:
I think a lot of money has been spent looking at the area to confirm there isn’t anything in its way - one of the other comments has a link about how everything was paused for 4 months when they did find something nearby.
If they can dig a tube tunnel through some of the places in london that they did for crossrail, this isn’t going to be a problem.
There is already an A-road there, one that is normally practically stationary due to how the road narrows there. by sticking it in a tunnel it saves the immediate area from the pollution. Hopefully as we electrify more vehicles that will get even better too.
For reference - this is how close the road currently is - getting it underground will make the immediate area much nicer.
- Comment on Stonehenge campaigners’ last-chance bid to save site from road tunnel 5 months ago:
If they can remove the overground road there is that not an improvement? It’s not like this area is pristine, there are towns there, a military base etc. this will improve the area immediately around Stonehenge.
If they are spending money on archeology in the area and discovering new things, that’s great. It means the entrance/exit are less likely to damage anything.
On the environment - that’s less of an issue if we can electrify vehicles properly, it’s a busy road because people and freight (lots of warheouses in Aimesbury) use it. We have unfortunately proved that we can’t build railways either so there isn’t much choice.
- Comment on Stonehenge campaigners’ last-chance bid to save site from road tunnel 5 months ago:
It’s on a big hill, the archeology isn’t going to be more than 10m deep right? The only issue will therefore be at the entrance and exit?
I assume that they put the portals in ‘empty’ places and will have archeologists at the site to confirm they are not digging things up. (And have/are studying the area more)
