Which bit is rubish? You haven't refuted my points with anything of substance. He's a public figure, if he wants privacy he shouldn't have run in national elections. He had an inju…

I'm not sure this is true, the prime minister of the United Kingdom is literally a deadbeat dad. He went to court to disown one of his children and it's not public knowledge how ma…

Nor in the UK

I thought Hello was invented with the telephone. Prior to that, English greetings were good morning/evening. What do Italians and French say when they pick up the phone? Allora?

> The train driver is the most susceptible to die. You're better assisted by a remote operator The driver didn't die in any of the recent incidents, so they would still be in place…

This subthread you are commenting on is about head-on collisions. There have been none since 1975 and I think you will agree that given that passengers on that train were wearing h…

If there are still strikes then it is the same situation. Your plan solves nothing, for reasons both the article and I have outlined already. If we put you in charge tomorrow to ex…

Assuming you've read the list, you will know that the answer is no. No head-on tube collisions in my lifetime or in any other relevant modern era of any definition.

When I was a kid in the 90s we were taught that the tongue had specific zones that tasted specific tastes. There was a diagram and everything. I think it was long debunked even the…

Anything from a more relevant era, perhaps one in which passengers aboard an underground train weren't allowed to smoke a cigar?

As the article explains, the train managers will strike just the same as drivers do, leaving us in exactly the same situation as before.

That's in the very narrow situation of a head-on collision, something I don't think has happened on the tube in my lifetime. I'm talking about any kind of general emergency. I reme…

As the article also states, there will be no point at all in moving to onboard attendants because the onboard attendants will strike just the same as drivers do.

Yes, one of the reasons would be to keep the 1200 people on the train calm. It's important in an emergency for someone to be in charge of the situation. What's wrong with that? Usi…

If something goes wrong in the middle of a 120 year old tunnel, 30 metres beneath the city, I want there to be a trained, responsible member of staff in place to manage the situati…

I used to work at ASOS in London where they had a 'bring your parents to work' day. At the time (2015ish) more than half the staff were under 30yo. Mum got a tour of the office, di…

How has he used that newspaper to exert political control over the US?

IMO you have to maintain or exert some control over a nation in order to be an oligarch. So Jeff and Elon are out, but David Koch and Robert Mercer meet the definition for me. Thes…

Ten grand? The prize for getting featured on the 90s/00s UK home video blooper show You've Been Framed was a whopping £250!

I once got to listen to a pair of these at Abbey Road studio in London as a teenager. They blew me away. I was already a burgeoning audiophile (working in a branch of Sevenoaks Sou…

I used LTSB/C for ages but when WSL2 came along I had to ditch it for the Pro version. Is WSL2 working on LTSC now?

If MS wants Windows to become a developer platform, as they seem to (WSL, VS Code, GitHub), they need to offer a version of the OS without all the safety guardrails bullshit. Treat…

The US has even sent like $3k straight into the accounts of every citizen over the course of the pandemic! As far as I'm aware no other major country has done helicopter money like…

2/3rds of Bangladesh is <5m above sea level. If that much of the country disappeared, including Dhaka and Chittagong, you could well say they don't have a country any more.
