We are, sadly, but the trajectory of travel is already apparent.

The UK becoming Switzerland II was the entirely predictable outcome here.

As someone who has worked both in games and as a scientist, I've often thought science should import the practice of credits with identifiable contributions from films and games.

The practice of smearing everyone's contributions into undifferentiated "authors" is unhelpful.

A serious concern for the elderly and disabled is that robotaxis replace taxis and then there's no-one to help with luggage or entering/exiting the vehicle. It seems to me a mistake to believe they're a benefit for these groups.

There will be benefits but the net effect? I dunno.

Class in the UK is about the job you do not the money you make. Upper class is landed money, middle is managerial or knowledge based. Working class is trades or unskilled.

I thought it was highly enjoyable but not terribly memorable.

It's 90% one of those things.

Depends on who the MPs put to a vote, doesn't it? Conceivable he could be the only candidate or the better of two options.

In a world where we perfectly know who is a danger to themselves or others the trade offs would work but that isn't this world.

Of course. And it's also bad when people who aren't a danger to themselves or others get their liberty taken from them and worse when people who weren't a danger or others become so *because* they got their liberty taken from them.

People don't want to institutionalise people because it's objectively bad and has bad outcomes not because they're libertarian. The lack of good answers doesn't make the bad ones better.

It was made all the more surprising by the fact I usually go barefoot in the house

I once decided to drain the water from the rice I was cooking through the collinder on the WAY to the sink "to save time".

To me, it's yet another argument for the race director to be able to speak directly to drivers. Lawson should have been told "marshals recovering debris on track turn 2/3" rather than the message about debris he got from his team.

Watching his on-board he does seems to have slowed sufficiently, he's really not going fast as he comes round the corner. One could criticise his choice of line (he does steer towards the second marshal) and I don't know whether he could actually stop or avoid if needed but he's slowed a lot.

Isn't it not going into effect until next year? I'd have thought they'd want to push the legislation then not now. Otherwise you're going to get a mass of people caught out as they get confused thinking they have rights that they don't get until next year.
