    Is Amazon delivery getting worse?

    I'm not surprised their quality has dipped. A couple of weeks ago I saw a guy in a 1 series BMW doing Amazon deliveries, his missus in the passenger seat. How do I know he was doing Amazon deliveries? Well, I walked by I could see that his boot was full of the very distinctive Amazon...

    Do you navigate away from webpages that have tedious ‘cookie’ pop-ups?

    This - this whole EU Cookie warning thing annoys me.

    Quest 3 owners etc

    I'm using a ZyberVR case for my Quest 3, but I feel that it's too big - it's better designed for headsets with a solid strap. The only cool thing is that the case allows you to charge the Q3 whilst inside (although I leave it part unzipped if charging because of worries about heat) Anyone...

    Mortgage Rate Rises

    Agreed The "real solution" is to build new housing (doesn't have to be houses, can be high density apartments). The problem is that no government (central or local) in recent memory seems to be interested in real solutions.

    WFH - From Abroad - Why not?

    In the Banking sector it's two things that stop remote work in other countries: 1) financial regulations/ licensing - this is the reason that I can only work in a country where my company (bank) has an office 2) tax

    I'd like the West to start playing that game - to split the world into true bubbles of allies

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    No - the way to hurt them more is to sanction any country that has bought Russian oil (India, China)

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Russia would be making any F16 sightings public surely if that was the case - as a way to say that the West is even more against them

    Is the end of Battery EVs coming?

    https://resourcegovernance.org/articles/did-uk-miss-out-ps400-billion-worth-oil-revenue According to the above, the UK and Norway total oil + gas reserves should be about equal (since they are both in the North Sea).

    Is the end of Battery EVs coming?

    Norway is a good example of clever governments. They took the money they made from oil, and invested it smartly via their sovereign wealth fund. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Pension_Fund_of_Norway I WISH the UK lot were this smart when it came to North Sea Oil.

    Is the end of Battery EVs coming?

    They do it - badly, and not to the same scale as US (or even EU). How many EV car or EV battery factories have been built in UK? We also continued to throw cash at the consumer market too - instead of purely sticking to the production side of things.

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    "Surge into production in the short term" The war in Ukraine has been going on a while now - meaning there has been time to ramp up production. Look at the US, their Gov. has used the money given to Ukraine as a means to boost their ammunition factories to working 3 shifts, meaning that the...
