Following the whitewash in the midterms they no longer live in fear of what Trump can do to them because many of them won’t have a seat in January. The sharks have smelled blood and they’re starting to circle.

And so the withdrawal that we’ve all been wanting for years is finally happening. Let’s hope it continues until all US forces are out of my country.

The judge stated a minimum term of 7 years before he can apply for release on licence. He will be on the sex offenders register for life, forever having to report his whereabouts, every time he moves address etc.

Given how it’s pushing people to buy EVs and here in the UK to install solar, batteries and air source heat pumps it would be one of the best things there’s been for a while to get people to shift to renewables.

Most public sector workers outside the emergency services spend the majority of their working week doing fuck all, browsing social media and chatting with their colleagues. It’s why this guy was able to get away with it for so long because he was still hitting his performance targets just doing what the public sector think a week’s work is in the one day it would take someone in the private sector to do it.

I don’t think that it’s fair to be honest. He will have been under regular performance reviews. Clearly he was doing the job to an acceptable level.

It’s not his fault that they gave him so little work for a week that he could do it in a day. TBH I think it says more about the levels of productivity the public sector thinks qualifies as a day’s work.

He has to satisfy a parole board that he’s suitable to be released on licence, it’s not an automatic thing.

Guess it’s different because there were injuries in the bus, which I wouldn’t have expected from just braking

I would have. When you slam on your brakes what happens? You go forward in your seat. In your car you’re restricted to how far you go by the seatbelt which locks to prevent you going too far. People travelling in buses tend to not wear seatbelts so they’d have flown forward and directly in front of their faces would be the metal bars of the row of seats in front.

The list is very long and it got longer with all the weekly free games that Epic did. I’ve got games I paid for from 5 years ago still waiting to see the light of day. Even if I never added another I reckon I’ve a good few years worth of play time to go through them all.

Are they going to do the same with products made using forced labour in the US prison system?

By US he means “us” as in the Trump family.

On the list of things that are bad ideas this is right up there with them. The last thing you want to do is identify yourself as a source of pirated content.

More war crimes.

Looks like I’d imagine Transport Tycoon I used to play donkeys years ago would look if it were released today.

Yeah you know it’s bad when you start to use Google to search for stuff on Reddit because it’s better at doing it than Reddit’s own search.

Overall, this sounds like a really good change for Steam. Instead of Valve manually picking things, or developers scheduling specific stuff to get a slot - you will hopefully see more of what you’re directly interested in.

No this is not a good thing. It’s going to result in you just being shown the type of stuff you play. It’s literally no different to the Youtube and Facebook algorithms that just ensure you see nothing but the same shit in a different package all the time.

But unfortunately when you look at the total cost of ownership the price premium you pay for an EV over it’s ICE equivalent here in the UK and the typical ownership period of 3-4 years due to the majority being “purchased” using PCP (personal contract purchase) that has a balloon payment at the end very few pay means most people will never actually make a saving.

LLMs give you sycophantic bullshit. Tell it it’s wrong even if the response is correct and see what it does.

“The US government would likely consider such a measure as facilitating censorship,” the submission said."

The irony of this being said in the same week Trump has banned several news organisations from White House press briefings.

The problem isn’t that people are LGBT. The problem is that a small section of them want to ram the whole fucking rainbow flag waving pride and “I’m special, these are my pronouns” bullshit down the throats of people whether they want it or not. That breeds resentment in people to the point it can make otherwise supportive people remove that support.
