I’m surprised you get many of us over in Canada. Spain definitely has the right to complain, it’s very cheap and easy to get there so our drunken scumbags descend on the country every summer by the millions. I specifically don’t bother going to Spain to avoid them myself.
Jaguar had no choice. I was working for one of their suppliers until a couple of years ago and their sales figures were not good. Nobody was buying their saloon cars anymore, and their SUVs were selling well but were essentially eating into Land Rover’s market share, so they had to do something different. It is easier to sell low numbers of outrageously expensive cars than to mass produce cheaper ones so that’s what they’re gonna do.
I assume anyone with one of those BMWs with the giant grilles is a psychopath.
It’s definitely not a coincidence that America sucks now and none of them have any necks.
Yeah. Thankfully nobody says things like “epic fail” anymore
I remember giving TikTok a go and getting frustrated because it kept showing me stupid videos of kids dancing and I couldn’t find a way of searching for specific topics and I ended up rage-uninstalling it.
After I calmed down it dawned on me that the “stupid kids” dancing were actually around 18-20 years old and I couldn’t find what I wanted because I didn’t understand the UI.
I honestly didn’t think it was any better or worse than the others. The writing wasn’t good in any of them, but the gameplay was good enough. Tiny Tina was the most irritating character in the whole series and she’s mainly in BL2, which is a fan favourite.
I’ve never thought any of them were worth buying at full price though as they all tend to feel a bit tedious about 2/3rd of the way through.
Yeah, AI is extremely good at specific things. If my workplace chose to train one on the engineering software I use and the company standards it would almost certainly outperform me at the design work in a fraction of the time. Fairly scary as my career would just completely evaporate. However, it absolutely couldn’t do the bullshit parts where there isn’t enough information to make a concrete decision or you have to chase specific people in other teams for info, and it certainly couldn’t be trusted to sign-off any designs. It would still reduce my job to what is essentially general admin/project coordination work though
I really do hate that our national flag has been taken by the far right and general football hooligans. If you go to any other country in the world and see someone waving their flag you just think “That person loves their country, how nice”.
This is the only place in the world where the national flag is a hate symbol. I’d support a campaign to reclaim it and break the negative associations but you just know it would immediately get corrupted by the same people they’re trying to reclaim it from.
I know what you mean, the prices are high but you don’t even get a lot of house for that money. We had a budget of around 300 and the choices were either tiny new build shoeboxes with miniature gardens overlooked in all directions with poor access/no local amenities, or older OK-sized places in some pretty rough areas.
We eventually found a 3-bed ex council place and thankfully it’s a relatively quiet area with pleasant enough neighbours. Though it is jarring that we are two professionals with degrees working full time to afford the same house that our neighbours were given a few decades ago and only one of them works and it’s a minimum wage job.
Same for here too though. You won’t find many £300K houses in and around London
The average in 1980 was £19,273. In today’s money that is £105K. So prices have effectively tripled in one generation.
The average house in the US costs just under $400K, which is £295K. So they are basically the same price.
Our poorest and least educated can still afford to travel, unfortunately for the host countries.
