Where is the COBRA meeting for this?

Anybody who earns enough money pays tax, there is actually no age limit. If you have a part time job paying more than £12.5k a year you'll pay income tax. If you are paid more than £9k your employer has to start paying National Insurance.

If your definition is people who pay cash tax then we need to stop most pensioners, disabled people, people on benefits, stay at home partners (mostly women), part time workers, carers, and probably others I've missed from voting too then?

I have a mix of Debian and Ubuntu servers. I'll update manually anyway but for future cases, would unattended-upgrades set to security upgrades run daily be enough to stop this type of issue?

My take on it is not trying to be simple. It is showing one fundamental issue that would instantly change the entire calculation if reflected. The fact that it was not a diverse group of people from diverse background probably meant they missed something so fundamental.

The analogy you used just doesnt work in my view. The fact that you're depressed would already lower an equivalent measure of wellbeing. The underlying point that you are depressed does not change whether you seek treatment or not. You're more likely to take sick days, more likely to have other health conditions, more likely to abuse drugs/alcohol, and other factors that could potentially be measured. Being depressed is not a choice but looking after your children or cleaning your own house is a choice.

We should at least make an attempt to try. I agree it would be difficult bit then they were trying to come up with GDP, it would've seemed to be an impossible task but they managed to find a way.

We should also make an attempt to fix the issues with GDP or stop using it as much as it is. Why is it ok to use this metric over any other?

GDP does not include home labour, mostly carried out by women. If you're a woman who takes even one day off from work for childcare, you are "harming" the countries GDP - you have reduced your wage and are not paying others to do that "job". Ohh wait, why don't you hire cleaners, hire gardeners, hire a handyman, hire a chef, and do your part for the economy - just work that third job and the business news will be happy!

How the fuck did we end up with a system where this supposed measure is the most important thing

Exactly the same here. I think it also shows the lack of actual local volunteers or people who in other parties deliver the leaflets, or maybe they know they'd be shouted out to get out of the area (which I would do!). If your politics is so divisive and offensive maybe this is there only way.

Can also see they far outspend other parties on social media

Are they more scared of China helping Iran or them seeing / sharing the truths of the wars - the wars crimes, the destruction, the military failures and the lies?

Theres the obvious corruption here but just to point out repairing individual potholes does not fix the underlying problems that cause them, and prevention is always cheaper than cures.

The three problems are:

cars are 25% heavier and car use has increased
climate change has increased extreme temperatures and given more up and down cycles over a year, especially freeze/thaw cycles
councils are chronically underfunded so go for the cheapest possible repairs done less often

The reason I moved from supporting labour to supporting greens is that they are the only ones condemning the State of Israel, it's openly racist and war crime committing leaders, it's genocide against the people of Palestine, and because it is now repeating the same tactics in Lebanon, plus the attacks on so many other countries. This statement I made has nothing to do with anti-semitism. It has nothing to do with Islam as Israel has also killed Christians and destroyed a synagogue for fuck sakes.

There will be people across the country who are anti-semitic but I would wager there are a lot more of them in the reform party than any other. Any form of racism should be stamped out and those people questioned, condemned and potentially removed.

Unfortunately, the article you shared is ruined by it's obvious biases and the fact that some of the points just aren't objectively wrong. Yes, you can disagree with the premise or the statement but you cannot call it anti-semitism. For example: the sentence

Israel is worse than Nazi Germany, writing about what she described as “the Israeli society enjoying the annihilation and displacement of Gazans by watching and blocking food trucks, whilst the Nazis had to hide what they were doing.”

I would not agree with the comment in general but if raises a valid point. I don't agree that Israel is worse than Nazi Germany yet but to be honest, there is still time to move there - e.g. the law passed allowing execution of only Palestinians so only looking back in many years can this be decided. Regardless of that, the point that candidate is making is that even in Nazi Germany when there were no cameras and internet, they felt they had to hide the worst atrocities from the general public and especially from other countries, even when most western countries had equal or worse racist propaganda also in the open. In Israel, these atrocities are openly discussed, supported and celebrated for all the world to see. Therefore, they are arguing it is worse in that sense which they do have a point.

Another thing is the complaints about IDF soldiers being allowed in and celebrated in this country. What genuinely is the difference between a UK citizen joining ISIS or the IDF? Both are based on a belief that their religion is the only correct one, that it needs to be fought for and they are going overseas to fight against enemies who are not enemies of the UK (e.g. Iraq and Palestine are not enemies), and both organisations have been shown to commit horrific atrocities. The only differences are that one of the armed forces of a recognised state and the other is the armed forces of another self-recognised wannabe state, and the religions they fight for. British citizens who became ISIS fighters or helped them are still in jail or blocked from returning. British citizens who became IDF fighters are not touched and are allowed to return whenever they want. Both should be illegal or if you choose it, you immediately lose British citizenship in favour of the other. The only challenge I would have to myself is what about people who are fighting for Ukraine but I think the difference is that they don't have or want Ukrainian citizenship or to ever live there permanently.

Wow, it's like you read my mind! I charged my kindle last night which hasn't been used or updated in a while so was planning to lookup jailbreaks and open software tonight. You've saved me so much time and effort!

Legend!

I see this every week when I drive to the office. Most of the route is 20mph and single lane. I go at the speed limit and every 2/3 weeks one will overtake me. I'll then see them at the next light, then there next one, then the roundabout, etc for the next 30 minutes. I'll usually then go past them as theres one junction with 2 lanes and they always seem to go in the "fast" lane so they end up behind me when it goes down to one. Makes me so happy everytime!

Sometimes you see it when walking even in a black traffic spot - you'll get to the lights before the cars you've passed sitting there.

Im doing to build my fitness up to cycle the route and think it'll take roughly the same time.

Unfortunately the route is really difficult and long on public transport - it's easy to get into central and back but trying to go across the edge to the other side was never designed for

It depends exactly where you live but generally it's to pay for things that your society has deemed to be better spent together. There is the obvious stuff like roads, schools, pensions, police, fire, health, prisons, court systems, bin collections etc. Then there is defence/war, immigration controls, overseas embassies, security services, postal services, plus regulations (health and safety, food standards, restaurants, barbers, doctors, dentists, construction, fire safety etc.) - somebody has to make the rules and check they're being followed. Often local property taxes are collected for local needs (e.g. police and education).

As much as it feels painful, you do benefit from a lot of collective activity that needs to be paid for.

Fuck the "protect the children" bullshit. I've seen them ride past and you can't actually see much. They're going too fast, theres a whole bunch of them, the bike equipment is in the way, and most have backpacks. I would not care if my children saw and in fact, would laugh along with them at the people just having a great time.

I wouldn't be comfortable taking part myself but would never stop other people doing it.

Did some one ask for dust cos I got plenty! Also have one desktop with 30TB of memory, separate small form for HA and Pihole, networking equipment, cooling fans and a UPS all packed into one (un)tidy cupboard. The door doesn't quite close but enough to hide it from my partner!

What are you on about? Don't believe the news and social media posts. It is fine here. It's not perfect but it's not a punishment to come here

Does this apply to arlo cameras too?

Yes because it's another room we are able to chill in separately and it was my very old TV before I decided to upgrade to 4k. We have a living room but on some occasions we want to watch our own shows. It gets used about once a week. It's not used before bed. I don't see the issue if you're able to use it without fucking up your life. We don't have a TV in the children's rooms. We have a kitchen with a small dining table - no mobile devices allowed so makes sense not to have a tv. We don't have any other rooms.

I definitely have this but it falls apart when working on my computer unless theres one really urgent task or a work call. The fact I'm sitting or the waiting for something to load or something gets in the way stops my motion. Do you have any solutions for computer work?

Fuck yes!

If you still haven’t said shit about the genocide. Know your grandkids one day are gonna ask you, “Why?”
