as a parent this is great. it means i can do fish fingers and chips at home guilt-free, knowing they ate healthily at school.

the council should remove one or two on-street parking bays and replace them with dockless bike bays. i’ve seen this already in many places so not a novel concept, but they should simply do more of it.

The ownership and telemetry shenanigans were unfortunate but this does look good. It’s also good that this remains an opensource project with potentially viable funding attached.

I must admit I still run Audacity 2.x or whatever and have no problems with it. But there are a lot of QoL improvements here that I’m excited about.

Yeah it feels like they just watched a bunch of other films that came later, took the best bits, and glued it all together. They even took popular memes and recreated them verbatim into the film. I suppose that’s what Hollywood has become now in 1942.

I actually don’t think we have too many midfielders. We need 6 high quality starters for 3 slots. We saw what happened last season with the number of games and injuries. Zubimendi dropped off a cliff toward the end of the season because he was playing 90 minutes 3 times a week for 4 months straight. I know there are 8 players listed there, but the last 3 (and indeed MLS) all play other positions too so will get plenty of game time.

We’d have to get a massive offer for MLS that allowed us to buy an absolute star on the left wing for me to be ok with selling him.

Pedestrianising Oxford Street would obviously be much better? I’m not sure why the council would oppose it, other than they are Conservatives so habitually wrong.

Getting rid of most traffic has already made the street orders of magnitude more pleasant. Getting rid of buses and taxis is the obvious next step.

tbf is there anything Burnham hasn’t backed at this point?

Honestly this past week in London has been on another level. Arsenal shirts everywhere. Sunday was incredible, nothing like it in my life.

Alright off you fuck then.

3 hours a week in nature is quite a lot for most people tbf. Vast majority live in towns and cities and have to go a long way to find what they might consider “nature”.

So if i want to set up my Eufy camera for use with this, it would need to be able to upload to a remote network drive or FTP folder? I’m pretty sure mine does on-device motion detection, which then records the footage to an sdcard in the device. I’m not sure I can get it to write to FTP though. Will have a play around.

Either way this is a good solution. I used to use frigate and I actually bought a Coral TPU unit to offload the motion detection. This massively reduced CPU usage, but it is still adds a noticeable (~3-8w) increase to total power consumption. It would be nice to use the on-board capabilities of the hardware itself.

I just instinctively read “massive new lido” as “massive new dildo”.

It’s actually even worse than that, as women could now legally complain to the owner that there is a man in the toilets and they are unsafe. In thiscase it would be discriminatory to NOT kick the trans man out of the women’s toilets.

This leaves trans people with nowhere to go, which the authors of the guidance have acknowledged. So they have left the option for the owner to permit trans people to use the disabled toilets…

Which is a win win if you don’t give a shit about disabled people OR trans people.

I’ll never understand drivers who do this. The psychologist they had talking about “rage and humiliation” in “mini power struggles” was interesting, would like to hear more about that.

I use card for most of my transactions, but in cornershops, independent shops or smaller businesses i usually ask what they prefer. It’s not always cash! sometimes they prefer card as it’s easier for them to handle.

Interesting what you say about people your age, I’ve noticed actually that children/teenagers tend to use cash because they don’t have a bank account or any income to put in a bank account, but then when they get to 18+ they start using card more.

god dammit tim. this one’s going to hurt.

that’s devastating. i’m gonna need tim stillman to tell me why i should be ok with this.

The main problem with Paperless is me. I just can’t be arsed to scan stuff, even though it’s almost entirely automated. The only thing that isn’t automated is me putting the paper into the scanner. Why am i like this?

Polanski didn’t have much of an answer to it, even though it’s not a difficult one to answer from a principled position. You can report hate crimes if you want, but the right to free speech of thousands of people should be balanced against the possibility of hate crimes being committed by a tiny minority on those marches.

I think this principle stands both ways, too, because it’s clear that far right rallies are permitted, despite hate speech being kind of the point of those rallies. I’m not sure why Polanski couldn’t have answered this better, especially when he is in the right.

They were lucky to win that. Deserved a draw. I still think we’ll win the league, I still think they’ll drop points. The performance was orders of magnitude better than what we’ve seen for god knows how long, it gives me hope.
