I can totally see the difference. One is in colour and the other is in black & white. Ergo, not a Nazi salute. Got it.

- Comment on Hulu quizzing about the ads played 1 day ago:
Sky really pisses me off. They have exclusive rights to the F1 in the UK, but you need to pay a fortune for it, as you have to have the base sky package plus sky sports (I think) plus sky sports F1.
Probably comes to over £50/month for something that’s on every other weekend on average, and they still show ads! If there’s a subscription, there shouldn’t be any ads.
- Comment on Driver stopped in Tesla Cybertruck banned in UK 4 days ago:
Yeah, but do they check the vehicles too or just the occupants and what’s in the vehicle? I’ve never actually used either so not sure how it works.
- Comment on Driver stopped in Tesla Cybertruck banned in UK 4 days ago:
My guess they came via a ferry or the channel tunnel.
- Comment on Darn it 4 days ago:
Not sure a Renault (now Alpine) is a good example of fastest 🤣
I really miss that livery though.
- Comment on Driver stopped in Tesla Cybertruck banned in UK 4 days ago:
Possibly, not sure how it works if they’re a visitor from mainland Europe (the reg plate doesn’t look to be a UK one) - if their vehicle isn’t road legal in the UK, does that invalidate their insurance where they’re from?

- Comment on UK ‘one of world’s least work-oriented countries’ claims BrewDog founder - as he slams obsession with 'work-life balance' 6 days ago:
I think they might be referring to the owners politics, specifically his very strong Leave campaign during the EU referendum. Could be wrong though.

I think it’s the same guy, yeah.

This guy’s notorious for being a weapons grade prick. Absolutely not surprising he’s saying stuff like this.

What posseses people to do this? It’s absolutely disgusting.
It’s not just an American thing by the way, I’ve heard shit like this happening here in the UK too. Especially in women’s toilets.

I think that’s an acceptable solution.
- Comment on Nigel Farage distances himself from Elon Musk on Tommy Robinson 2 weeks ago:
Can he distance himself from the crust of the earth?

- Comment on End of an era as Radio City tower hosts final live broadcast on Christmas Eve | Liverpool 4 weeks ago:
All these local radio stations being rebranded as “Hits Radio” is quite sad. Instead of every area having their own unique station identity, we’ve now got these very generic, bland stations. I think many are controlled from the same place and broadcast the same music at the same time but then have DJs for each local station.
It’s kind of like a local, well loved brand that’s been around for decades gets bought by some nation wide company and turns it to shit.
- Comment on This Op Shop seems to have ordered their secondhand books by colour for some reason 5 weeks ago:
A book shop isn’t a library.
I don’t get what you mean by this. Customers can go into both looking for something specific or seek out a particular author. If there’s no logical ordering how can customers find what they’re looking for?

Better free some rapists, paedophiles and murders to let this danger to society have a prison space!
- Comment on Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich? 1 month ago:
This is essentially what happened with ukip and Brexit in the UK. It took a while for the movement to gain traction but it did eventually start to put pressure on the government at the time.
The only issue is if that you’ll no doubt need rich backers to gain influence… But that might be a bit of an issue if your entire platform is to shit on the same people who you need.
- Comment on Pat McFadden vows to make the state "more like a start up" as he deploys reform teams across country 1 month ago:
Tech firm workers encouraged to join government for six to twelve month “Tours of Duty” to work on national missions.
Why would anyone do this? You’d need to sacrifice your salary and your position at your current job for a temporary 6 to 12 month secondment.
- Comment on MPs vote in favour of historic bill to allow assisted dying after emotional debate 1 month ago:
This is giving the people more power over having the ability to gracefully end their own lives rather than the state saying people should continue to live in pain and suffering.
- Comment on New Housebuilding in the UK Held Back by Pollution from Factory Farms 1 month ago:
I think it’s more that NIMBYs hate house building and generally slow the process down.
- Comment on The return of Trump means Britain must rethink its defence strategy – and role in the world 2 months ago:
You’d also need a separate type of sign for kph, but one that still adhers to the current standard (white cirle with a red border and a black number). Or put a separate rectangular sign under it with “kph” to denote that the number in the circle is kph rather than mph.
The problem is that you can’t just replace one, you’d need to replace them all on the road due to the repeater signs. It would be confusing to see some say 60 and others 30 on the same stretch of road as some repeater signs have been replaced but others haven’t.
There’d also be the issue of cars understanding the signs with their sign recognition software, and drivers having to switch their digital spedo, as you usually only see one unit rather than both like on older anaologue speedos.
- Comment on The return of Trump means Britain must rethink its defence strategy – and role in the world 2 months ago:
Not just the speed limits that need changing, basically any sign with a distance on it too.
