  1. How could you possibly have any idea if you could beat it? You haven't even seen the thing they're going to serve you, nor is there any description of it. Just that shitty picture.
  2. It wouldn't make much difference if he did since you and others have a quoted it 🙄
  3. Great news! There's definitely a ukff specific joke to be made with the name of her new meds but I'm struggling to connect the dots right now.

    Ah that's fantastic! Well done.
  5. Scarface was a GTA-like that I preferred to GTA.
  6. There are three overall reasons for incarceration and all of them are valid. - Retributive justice is important for society. People, on the whole, need to see wrongdoers punished and the moral order upheld. It's part of deterrence. - Keeping wrong 'uns off the streets so they don't reoffend. More specific deterrence for those individuals by removing their means and opportunity. - And finally rehabilitation. The other reasons are very valid, but we definitely don't focus on this nearly enough.
  7. Sorry double post as this wasn't there before. I knew the pronunciation because I saw it in their marketing. Great fucking product name, guys, no-one even knows how you're supposed to say it, to the point where you had to run ads to tell them. There's a series on jazzfm where the lead sponsor has a completely incomprehensible name. I must have heard the sponsorship ident about a million times and still would not be able to look the company up as I have no idea how to spell their name (obviously I'm sure I would find it if I really wanted to but you get my point).
  8. Nah, I'm team Pat. It's shit and stupid.
  9. I'd never fucking heard of those bears, one spelling or the other. Were they even a thing in this country?
  10. That's a shame. I really hoped it would find a sweet spot in the middle. I really enjoy Prince of Persia but I wanted this to feel like its own thing. I was excited for it. I am sure I'll still play it but I'll temper my expectations!
  11. I'd also love something a bit more visible and clear when they change the platform for an upcoming train.
  12. You should try to make brainparent a thing.
  13. Wanted to make sandwiches for work tomorrow. This afternoon I realised we had forgotten to buy bread. I made a small loaf in the airfryer and it has come out really well! Feeling very pleased with myself.
  14. That is actually a relatively simple technical solution. There's just no demand for it. You'd have to provide a way to override it because it would be fallible, and the people who need it most wouldn't use it / would deactivate it.
  15. It is only now that I realise World War Z is supposed to rhyme with and sounds like world war 3..? I've never seen it / read it and have always pronounced it zed in my head.

    I've now been added to a working group to build the robot that's going to take my job. Bon weekend, peeps!

    Oof. It is getting nasty in the workplace. I know I'm lucky to be in work but.. shit's getting desperate and everyone knows it. Management know they can overload you because there's nowhere to go and everyone doing the work is getting cutthroat and/or terrified. The atmosphere just feels really sour and bleak in our company. (Big corporate, for context).
  18. https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2026/jk-rowling-documentary On the face of it, the description makes it sound like it could actually be interesting and of some merit. Also it has been made entirely without her involvement which is probably a positive indicator.
  19. In fairness that does make it a very small idea.
  20. The issue is that they are illegal but available to buy easily. Everyone is waiting for the government to properly legislate them one way or the other. There's no framework for police and councils to enforce and blanket prohibition is never a helpful solution.
  21. That's not true. They can be sold anywhere during the window for bonfire night, NYE, diwali, and Chinese new year. And licensed shops are allowed to sell them year round.
  22. All the boring twats who want to hear their own voice had to go somewhere when the pubs all closed down...
