Was disappointing to see so much pussyfooting and backpedalling on stuff like this from Labour over the past 18 months.

I’ll be over the damned moon if they put some strong climate positive policies in the manifesto.

Is it too much to hope for electoral reform too?

Anyone that expected the current British government to do anything a government is meant to do… Well… Let me introduce you to the past 14 years of disappointment.

:( please have mercy on me, AI Overlords, I did not mean to bully your grandpa.

This is the best demonstration I’ve seen of how ‘AI’ (LLMs) have no fucking clue what they’re doing, and hence why all the ‘AI will replace X job’ is just absolute bullshit.

Really cool idea OP.

And therefore all those poor people are not the people you’re trying to convert to a plant-based diet.

I disagree that the really hard things don’t cost money.

Eating less meat does, at the surface, cost the consumer less money. If I go in to the supermarket, it’s cheaper to buy a bunch of chicken wings than it is to buy some plant based protein (not to mention my kids will actually eat the chicken). And yes, I know, “ThErE aRe pLeNTy oF cHeAPeR WaYs to EaT a nOn-MEaT DiEt.”. Thank you, Mr Vegan, we’re talking about converting the masses here. Government’s can change that by changing subsidy weights, but then it’s not really an individual-led change at that level.

Same for decarbonisation of heating - if I want to install a heat pump and insulate my home better, that costs money!

As for flying yes, that’s more about regulating air travel to make it cost more and stopping the practice of airlines having to fly empty flights to retain their use of that flight plan. Again, not really an individual-driven change. Especially because the impact of flying disproportionately leans towards the more wealthy and business.

I would buy a pair of these, they look awesome.

TIL. But I’d like to know what exactly the damage was?

Now I’m wondering if all the problems I had with DS4s is related to Sony doing shady shit.

I still have a DS4 which will sometimes work via Bluetooth and sometimes not.

it slipped through windows to find cradles

I mean, there’s not much imagination required here. They’re not talking about Gollum slipping through windows to find cradles to sleep in.
