  • Bike thefts at stations 'decriminalised'

    Jump

  • 2 hours. Completely defies the point of having the racks. I can understand bikes left for days considered an issue. But not covering actual daily commute times for working people. The main purpose of public transport,

    MPs need to come down on this. It's utterly disgusting that BTP has jurisdiction and has decided independently what they consider to be their fucking job.

    Honestly the only thing commuters can do is write to MPs.

  • Firm linked to Tory peer Michelle Mone breached £122m PPE contract, High Court rules

    Jump

  • As bad as that is. VIP Lane is used like it is totally acceptable.

    How the fuck is it acceptable for MPs to recommend family owned businesses and ones paying them in advantages etc.

    Even if the company had for filled the contract perfectly. This is basically stealing money from tax payers etc. That alone should ban her from holding any government political or civil service positions.

  • The ultimate all-in-one PC: Raspberry Pi 500+ on sale now at $200

    Jump

  • If you know anyone with a 3£ printer near by. And some time with a craft knife.

    Would be pretty darn easy to cut the slot in the case. And print a plastic cover that clips in.

    As you said plenty on line to add your own M2 and the power circuits to support it.

    Likely will be more soon with the plus to look at.

    Personally. I have a 40p and a 500 so will wait a few months and see what happens. But I will likely go for that keyboard eventually.

  • Corbyn says members of 'non-national' parties NOT barred from Your Party membership

    Jump

  • The ultimate all-in-one PC: Raspberry Pi 500+ on sale now at $200

    Jump

  • 400 and 500 case are identical E. It is not the space. But the fact that opening the case is not considered a user task.

    The 500plus has bolts to open the case rather then the having to deal with breakable clips. The 400 and 500 case need a little more width and completelly new injection moulding to do that.

    As I made clear in my post. What you and I are willing to do. Vs what a corporation is willing to sell as maintainable are different.SSD and storage in general has consumer expected requirement to be replaceable. Hence why every laptop etc has easy covers for upgrade.

    Doing that requires a whole new case with now injection moulding machines and factory lines etc.

  • Reform councillor would like to see wage cuts to fund his pay rise

    Jump

  • Because unprincipled voters will not care about reforms lack. But will judge those who claim they are failing,

    Principled voters will not vote at all if both sides are unprincipled. So all that is gained is lower votes in opposition.

  • Reform councillor would like to see wage cuts to fund his pay rise

    Jump

  • Technically their job is to spread yours and other local opinions at those meetings. Telling the permanent council staff the direction Thier voters want the council to go.

    Really with the average town councillor having extremely low torn out to elect them. Most are only representing the views of a couple of hundred locals.

    Seriously a very little not to public effort all Tory and reform councils could be removed. Even in what are seen as safe zones.

    Jump

  • shows what they were up to when they left the M2 slot out of the original Pi 500. I’m sure it helps.

    Likely the issue was that the board layout as is. Did not allow for the current 400 case to take the M2 slot in a way that users could have easy access.

    While you and Def I. May not worry about having to unclip the case. For a company selling mainly as an educational product. (Dispite that no longer being their main market).

    The cost and time for case mods of that level. Likely made this option much more logical.

    Many guess something like this was the next stage. Keyboard is a real nice suprise though.

  • UK is ‘worst country in Europe’ for drug prices, says Mounjaro maker

    Jump

  • Translation. We have less options to over charge the UK then any other nation.

    Wha twha we only make a lot of money.

  • Farage will roll back gun laws and turn Britain into Trump’s America, Ed Davey claims

    Jump

  • Has far rage actually made this claim.

    Because It dose not seem like something he would win any votes on.

    And while his supports may ignore his lies. They will soon attack other parties leaders for claims with no evidence. Increasing Thier support.

  • Majority of girls and young women in UK alter behaviour to feel safe, study finds

    Jump

  • It's no different to the all lives matter shit. People with no personal experience of others suffering refusing to accept it exists.

    Fecal exit points like this refuse to accept anything that paints others as disadvantaged at all. More so when it questions their own actions in any way. It is the whole idealism of the right wing. Disadvantage is entirely the responsibility of the disadvantage.

  • Reeves urged to take 2p off employee NI and add it to income tax in budget

    Jump

  • NI does not fund the NHS. It never did.

    Edit: Def not disagreeing defunding it is the Tory now labour way though.

    The NHS was set up to be funded by the general fund. Intentionally to ensure everyone had access. Rather then just workers.

    NI was set up to handle sick pay and pensions. (Although is not separated to do so any more. As multiple govs have long since borrowed against it for the general fund. )

    The fact that our NHS is funded this way. Is why it is still unique around the world. Most other Universal health care is an insurance scheme of some form. Just not as messed up as the US ones and with real ways for non employed to be covered.

  • Fish Buttholes May Be The Reason We Now Have Fingers, Study Finds

    Jump

  • Given @Ihavedrabs111 chose that name.

    His fingers may be a little more fish arsehole like them most of us. I'll leave him to confirm or deny.

  • Who owns Britain? The effects of privatisation on the costs of living in the UK

    Jump

  • is the government’s own line.

    Based entirely on the water companies claims.

    The gov has not even bothered to audit and value the companies themselves. But just used the corps own valuations.

    The whole idea that the companies have any value given their debt and failures to maintain infrastructure even with that debt. Is just out right scummy bollocks.

  • Fish Buttholes May Be The Reason We Now Have Fingers, Study Finds

    Jump

  • So just to be clear here.

    Scientists bread mice with no fingers to hunt food. Fair enough but poor mice.

    And fish with no arseholes, so they can eat but never crap.

  • Zarah Sultana issues 'reconciliation statement' over Your Party

    Jump

  • Except this is her first post on the subject. Not directly in response to a post from the other team.

    And reading the post. It is claiming more then an attempted reconciliation. But that her a JC are in agreement. Of course JC himself has remained silent on this. She is Def more willing to share all her shit on social media then folks mine and JCs age are.

  • Zarah Sultana issues 'reconciliation statement' over Your Party

    Jump

  • You realise this is her first statement. That is not directly in response to a statement published by the JC team.

    And it basically states her and JC are working together to implement the plan published by that team. (iE the one she claimed they did not have her approval for).

    I tend to take every thing she says with a no other evidence bias ATM. As her claims have only ever been supported by insiders working with her.

    But it's just as important to recognise the actions of the other team are all worded such that. Zero actual evidence or statements they could be challenged on exist. And zero info of the background processes and meeting is shared.

  • Zarah Sultana issues 'reconciliation statement' over Your Party

    Jump

  • Given the statement. This tittle is a little questionable.

    Her letter states she and JC are again working together to implement the published plan. And all court threats have been dropped by her.

    So the correct tittle would be along the lines of.

    She claims to be working with support of the other founders again. We are still awaiting for JC to confirm.

  • Ukraine has a massive new sea drone, could threaten Russia's Crimean Bridge

    Jump

  • divers are basically invisible at night.

    In James bond movies yes. But most are written well before drones and very cheap thermal cameras.

    It is pretty easy with modern equipment to monitor body heat in water. With the addition of AI very easy to ID human Vs fish both by shape and differing body temps.

    But I'm no more a real general then yourself. So back to the armchair.

  • Murena launches phone with open-source /e/OS and privacy focus (hardware kill switch)

    Jump

  • More to the point. Making a cheap phone is not an affordable endeavour.

    Linux phone makers such as pine have discovered this in the past. As your first products are going to be low demand. Running a business on the profit margins of lower priced phones becomes hard. It seriously limits your ability to gain investments. Making competition with similar priced products insanely complex.
