Congrats, you've clearly earned it.

Now probably is a good time for armageddon. Maybe the universe just knows we've fu cked it

That said, it's probably the best post in the thread in terms of sheer appropriateness, and your last sentence is spot on.

After a spare if anyone has one.

The tweet suggesting Man Utd are getting billions to redevelop their ground is off the mark. I'm not saying it's all squeaky clean but it's clearly about a much bigger project, of which Old Trafford is part of the context. Manchester have also just announced a consultation on the reconfiguration of Oxford Road Station on the same line. I'm not certain but I think this is all linked. https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/network-rail-launches-consultation-on-plans-to-improve-manchester-oxford-road-station Any which way, I don't think it's that comparable to the Ivanhoe line given the significance of this line.

Exactly. Feed it data that is too small a sample size or biased in favour of any particular variable and it will often just amplify that. Facial recognition/classification being one that I think is fairly well documented as having/having had some pretty big flaws in certain systems because what was being fed in was lacking in terms of representation of minorities. The fault is with the human input, not the output.

Awful stuff but a great film. Mark Ruffalo is great.

I don't know too much but it's worth being aware of the Renters Bill which would change potential terms for an eviction or make a sale less appealing for another landlord for the same reason. I imagine it's a few more months for that to pass but I've no idea how long this typically takes and from memory I think there is some opposition to parts of it at the very least. https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3764 This mentions a Section 21 which it seems you'll need for an eviction. https://www.rollits.com/news/blog/no-fault-evictions-set-to-come-an-end-in-2025/

Electrics are scary. I installed a new extractor fan earlier this year and it's first time I'd done anything electrical. It made me nervous, but the mechanics of actually doing the thing were a piece of piss. I've got old wiring too so the bit that actually took the time was making sure I was comfortable with exactly which wire was going where. I think fear is a big obstacle for people doing DIY in general. If you have the right tools a lot of it is pretty simple, it's the knowledge and the confidence.

Ugh

Script until the turnover was feeling depressingly familiar. Hopefully this the lift the Bills need.

Disappointing this, particularly as Daniels hasn't done anything wrong. I really hope the Bills win, an Eagles Chiefs SB is such a snooze imo but I must admit I think the Eagles would be set up well to beat them.

Good drive there. They need to get a 3 and out.

1000+ yards the last 5 seasons and 900+ in his rookie season is great considering who his QBs have been. If he'd been with Daniels or someone like Burrow/Lamar/Allen I bet he'd have had an extra 1000 over that time at least.

Huge fumble.

Beat Everton and it drags them back into the mire. Big game.

The finish is so measured, he knew it was in the second he hit it.

You're kinda missing the point. Many of these places will, in peak periods, be entirely overrun with tourism. Sure, that's a big part of the reason for the wealth in that area but it also puts huge strain on infrastructure and in many of these places locals, particularly youngsters are completely priced out of living there. And that's if they want to stay and can find meaningful work. I love the lakes but the idea of staying in Ambleside or Kendall for example, and staying through an entire summer season where everywhere is rammed and the streets are heaving doesn't sound great. Many of the homes being rented out are also not locals. They're wealthy city folk from London or elsewhere who probably make a killing off their Airbnb, use it sparingly and contribute very little to the community. I think it makes a lot of sense and as has been mentioned, as far as I'm aware it's generally intended to be a few quid for a week or so. Have one less pint or don't bother going.

That's not true at all. Every news thread has had loads of criticism of it.

I know it's funny to laugh at, but all of the images are just last year's champions, it's been like that for ages.

Person who works for the star *not a journalist* is full of sh it. What a shocker.

Unbelievable. F uck the lot of them honestly.

Just checked, I didn't realise they were that bad. Was thinking of going as it's a close away day but absolutely no way I am paying that much. Disgraceful prices as you say.

Ugh. Gutted. Andrews has always had such good hands but he has to catch that. Will still be supporting the Bills next week.

Squeaky bum time now. Overtime possible..
