- Comment on Cuts to BBC World Service funding would ‘make us less safe’, MPs tell ministers 20 hours ago:
The world service is one of the most important things the BBC does and is a big part of the reason the UK wields as much soft power as it does.
Frankly they should be ploughing more funding into it

- Comment on Don't know shit in class 2 days ago:
No you’re right, most people find it much easier to engage with a teacher who is genuinely enthusiastic about what they’re teaching
Another factor is that one on one learning is beneficial for people who are prone to distraction even without the interaction benefits everyone gets from typical one on one learning (with two people in the same room)

Most people have manual cars in the UK. Automatics are the weirder, more esoteric ones to us.
I think it’s more or less a cultural thing at this point

That’s probably what the drugs are for
- Comment on As you are doing it you never realize 6 days ago:
I’ve kept my Blu-ray burner in service from the past few rebuilds, probably had it about a decade or so
Though I’m not sure I’ve actually ever burned anything with it—used it to back up some old DVDs recently though
- Comment on I have an acquaintance that have their own "password system" that involves having a "core" set of characters, plus a few unique characters for each site; Is that system safe? 1 week ago:
I used to use a similar system until I switched to a password manager. Convenience is a big factor, it’s nice to not have to think about logging in. Also coupled with that a secure password is a long password, so not having to type it in is a bonus.
The person says that, since the beginning of the password is unique, its “unhackable”, and that the attacker would need like 3 samples of the password to figure out their system.
I’ve had my data leaked more than 3 times, it’s not an unlikely scenario that someone could get a list of passwords used by someone.
Also once their system is compromised, they have to come up with a new system, then go and change every password. Which if it was me would be hundreds of places. With a password manager there’s no reason not to have completely unique passwords for everything, so if there is a leak, oh well, just change that password.

There’s no rhyme or reason to it, but some mornings a black coffee is all I seem to want/need which is kinda negative calories
Other mornings I’ll polish the plate of a large full English and will perish if I don’t

I think you possibly intended to reply to a different comment
My comment was talking about heavily taxing 2nd properties (and implicitly any more after that)

Zoot opium
An ill advised idea tbh

Of course it’s not unreasonable, but if you want that luxury, you should pay from taking that supply from someone who needs it
- Comment on Owners of second homes in Wales are having to sell up. That’s no disaster: it’s a godsend 2 weeks ago:
Why should someone be allowed a 2nd home without penalty in a country with housing scarcity?
I’d say at least a 50% value tax on that as unnecessary consumption
