  • Waymo says expecting driverless taxis to stay out of bike lanes is unrealistic

    Jump

  • 😅

    Waymo, the autonomous driving tech firm whose so-called ‘robo-taxis’ are now roaming the streets of London, has told cycling campaigners that expecting their driverless cars to respect cycle lanes is “too high a bar” – because their customers want to be dropped off in them.

    This is in Europe mate. London to be precise. Not the US. People don't casually carry guns around here.

  • So it sounds like the call handler was speaking English but the councilor herself didn't understand English. Maybe she needs to go back to school?

  • Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed

    Jump

  • It's not clear how they will police this. Will you need to provide ID at point of sale?

    You have to right now if you're lucky (unlucky) enough to still look like a child otherwise the seller is fined quite substantially and they do spot checks to enforce this. Same with alcohol. The difference is that the lowest age will increase each year.

  • Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed

    Jump

  • What metric? Metric? The metric would be: Deaths. Perhaps you mean sources of this claim?

    NHS Statistics on Public Health 2023 shows that smoking was attributed to 74,600 deaths. The same statistics show 408,700 attributable admissions to hospital due to smoking.

    The Office For National Statistics showed that, in comparison, there were 10,473 deaths from alcohol-specific causes. Whereas the Government figures from another study showed there were 339,916 alcohol-specific hospital admissions, 280,747 alcohol-related hospital admissions under the narrow definition, and 1,018,986 alcohol-related hospital admissions under the broad definition in England (you can read up on the definitions yourself).

    So in terms of deaths smoking is by far the greatest of the two evils. Whilst it is right to point out alcohol still causes harm if the government were to focus on one then smoking and vaping is the right one to focus on.

  • Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed

    Jump

  • If it "reeks" of anything it reeks of making a compromise of what is more damaging to society and what could reasonably be done given the current circumstances.

    Smoking / vaping hands down trumps drink. That's not to say drink isn't damaging but of the two what is more damaging.

    It's actually one of the more sensible things this government has achieved.
