The pandemics of days gone by, in which a massive chunk of the population died, are no longer in living memory, and I feel those lessons will need to be re-learned the hard way.

Oh, absolutely. There would be people there with decades of experience in a very niche field, and if you let them go, you'll likely never get them back.

It's weird from top to bottom really.

I've absolutely seen companies take on work at break even, or even at a loss, just to keep staff employed and the business ticking over through a quiet patch.

I'm not sure many people do remember him fondly, it's only the far right critters that seem to have any fondness for him.

Imagine Heather Duplisee-allen and David Seymour making public statements saying you'll be missed.

I'd say he'll be missed, but I'd be lying.

Visa can shove off, if they don't like retailers charging transaction fees, they should charge less for their services.

What if the vehicle isn't owned by an individual though?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because they don't know who was driving.

If you're pulled over, you have to present your ID, which is recorded on the ticket, a camera ticket just goes to the registered owner of the vehicle.

Insurance costs for new drivers in the UK are notoriously high, especially young men, to the point where insurance can be more than the cost of the vehicle.

UK and some US states do. Maybe Australia?

Pretty good summary, to be honest.

 

Such a strange combination of items, who is buying mayo on the black market?

 

I had no idea it was this much.

The article doesn't say, but I wonder how much we export?

 

$60 for enough nit shampoo to treat five kids is pretty brutal, I'd have thought we could do better than that.

 

I think I can guess what Kent Terrace got changed to.

 

Why do people think racism works like noise cancelling?

If you're racist the "other way", it doesn't cancel out the initial racism, it just creates more racism.

 

I wonder if this was planned right from the start that they would be back for more?

 

This sounds utterly terrifying for the family to go through, and the actions of OT sound to me like they cross the line into criminal negligence.

Just unbelievable.

 

I'd love to know what everyone else thinks about this. Having somewhere you can get food that is open 24/7 would be very useful, but I can see why the locals wouldn't be happy about it. A McDonald's wouldn't really suit the area.

 

Absolutely poor taste, I think.

We need to start bullying Tui drinkers over their poor choice of beverage. Stuff tastes awful anyway.

 

No serious injuries, thankfully. What a colossal screw up though.

Update and further information

 

If we don't already, we need to start associating AI advertising with poor quality products from companies that don't really care.

Also that advert is just the most generic thing I've seen in a long time. Very forgettable.

 

Hopefully, the solution is new boats that are a more sensible size, and don't need the extensive infrastructure upgrades the new fleet would have required. One of the cancelled designs would have been a similar displacement to our current fleet of three.

I really hope the solution isn't another clapped out beater from Europe.
