Echo Dot

There’s a program called “Everything” which is basically just a functional version of Windows search. It’s one of those programs that really should be integrated into the OS but isn’t. The other one being Fences.

I want to be able to label chats. I don’t know who Sammy Gupta is, I know we must have spoken to them at some point but it was 2 years ago and I don’t remember who they are, what their role or responsibility is, or anything about them.

Your laptop caught fire while running vs code it had nothing to do with it, it doesn’t have a “burn my laptop” function.

Doesn’t the electric F-150 meet all those demands?

I can’t get one as they are not sold here but from the specs they look like exactly what you’d want. I assume since you mentioned it you can buy them where you are.

I’m pretty sure the EU banned them on the basis that they are death traps for their drivers, other road uses, and pedestrians alike.

Why don’t they just fix it and then release it rather than releasing it for 15 minutes and then recalling it again?

It’s missing basic features. The stuff that any normal human would assume it can do it just can’t do. It’s absolutely terrible if you use it in a large organization where you have to speak to multiple different people.

For one-on-one conversations I guess it’s okay but the moment you try and get anything more complicated than that going on it becomes a nightmare.

VS Code. That’s it though.

Slack

I do not believe anyone at Microsoft actually uses it because if they did there’s no way in hell that they would have let it be that bad.

It literally keeps every single conversation you’ve ever had in a big long list on the left, with absolutely no way to organize it, categorize it, order it, or in any way manage it other than deleting history, that’s it you can delete history.

It literally doesn’t even function half the time.

There is absolutely no way in hell that the components inside a router can possibly add up to $500. Beyond a certain point things that are more expensive are just more expensive because they are, not because they represent better quality.

Routers are commodity items, there is absolutely no way that a router costing $500 is demonstrably better than a router costing $100

There’s no way that’s going to cost less than $500. With a mount that costs $300

That’s what “heated tobacco products” means

The problem is if she’s giving advice on asbestos then fine but realistically that’s not what she’s giving advice on. We are aware that asbestos is cancerous and we’ve already banned it, so there’s not much more of a discussion that needs to be had.

The primary carcinogen that is still commercially available is tobacco products. There’s no reasonable way to believe that she isn’t consulting on the tobacco industry despite having invested interests, regardless of what “assurances” she gives, it doesn’t matter if she’s declared them, she still compromised there’s no way that you wouldn’t be compromised in that situation.

When I read the headline I was thinking it was a bit odd. By saying “the UK government” it seems to suggest that she was appointed recently under Labour.

I get that she’s probably still there now but that’s not quite the same thing. Although Labour need to get rid of her now, acting on this will demonstrate how they are different from the conservatives.

She was interviewed by The Tories who almost certainly had a particular viewpoint they wished presented to them. The vetting process was compromised.

Seriously I’m convinced that Tesco’s carry out more thorough background checks.

How very edgy of you. Except you don’t actually have a point do you?

No one’s life would be damaged by changing the system without consultation. What’s the point in consultation with people who have no understanding of the system, the vast majority of the population have no reasonable input that they could provide. The whole point of government is so that the entire population doesn’t have to worry about complicated administrative matters.

You’re right, we can make terrorism a crime. That will stop them.

Well there’s a continuum isn’t there between asking everyone about everything and asking nobody about anything. So where are we on that continuum, because if the government just hold referendums every time they change any policy then they may as well not exist, and we might as well just have direct democracy (Which never works).

So why should we hold a referendum for this, but not hold a referendum for example increasing the pay of railway workers?
