The UK system is a means tested credits for families that private companies can claim.

Still only for a narrow age range, and limited hours, but means they don’t have to compete with “free”, and families that need more hours can get it while also getting the subsidy.

the bodies keep washing up cloth!

Not to mention, the titles a poop joke.

It’s probably true.

Think of it with this alternate headline:

Spotify reclassifies what constitutes a good developer

And no doubt, they’re capturing what these “good developers” do to better train the clanker to make the “bad developers” redundant.

“I’m sorry sir, we’re all out of macchiato juice tonight. Can I interest you in our house speciality?”

Boom, problem solved.

So many reasons.

• encourages good pre-planning
• discourages underhand pre-planning
• gives me the chance to talk to the other parent first
• removes any unwanted pressure from anybody involved who doesn’t want it, but might feel pressured into saying yes because they’re already there.
• most importantly. I (the adult) want to make the most of you (the child) being out of the house. I could have gone out to dinner, thrown a grownups party, etc.

There’s a house in my area that gives out potatoes. Kids love it.

Then when houses run out of candy, some of the kids give them their potatoes (and candy) so more kids can trick-or-treat.

Kinda awesome seeing a 3yo get excited that they got a potato.

The crunch of the toast vs the softness of the bread. The saltiness and richness of the butter against the spice of the pepper.

It’s got contrast across two food metrics! Beats the shit out of PB&Js, and you don’t get peanut fragments stuck in your teeth.

It’s poverty food (for when butter didn’t cost $20/kg), but it’s not half bad.

I miss the individuality of the old internet. Websites, communities, and users being themselves.

ShitNugget9000 on one forum might be SirReginald79 on another.

Policies set for the community, not the leaseholder.

The internet controlled by a hegemony sucks.

Lmao.

Using floats for nearly anything in a finance platform should be grounds for immediate dismissal.

You can run it on pretty much every esp.

I’ve had issues with getting it working on lilygo devices, but had no problem with basic cheap “devkits” from AliExpress.

It’s the balls that get you.

Iirc, It was a national problem. Not just Tesco.

Nobody in the supply chain was being overly cautious about what their suppliers were providing them. Resulting in horse meat being found in loads of places.

The ban was specifically in the context of toys.

We banned toy magnets. Magnets for other purposes are still completely legal.

Put a crumpet in yer bum, pet.

Alternatively, it’s a queue of people.

Shit, some games are just winning currency. Look at “social gambling”. It’s just gambling without the ability to win your money back.

There’s an imbalance of power in it.

You can spend $10 for 1000vbucks or whatever. That costs you. There’s no way of you getting those vbucks on demand exactly when you want it.

The game provider on the other hand, can shit out vbucks until the cows come home. Doesn’t cost them a thing.

In some cases, free credits make them money. Heavily discounted credits for your first purchase entices new buyers into breaking the “first purchase barrier”, which drastically makes it easier to sell a second time, even if the price is 10x.

Free credits can also lure players who have had a bad streak back, and back to spending money.

In game currencies exist to detach you from the true cost of playing games, and to give you the feeling of being rewarded with something of value.

Piss off. I haven’t said shit about your Note.

I agree. Sandwiches are a member of “misery foods”. Especially cold ones.

Can they be good? Yes. But equally, there is usually a more appealing alternative available. Unless you’re in a place of misery.

Eg:

• a small airport.
• a hospital late at night.
• pret-a-manger
• rural train station

Threading is a great case for a macro.

(-> x (* 2) (/ 3) (- 1))

Is the same as (- (/ (* x 2) 3) 1)

Well, it was legal to do until relatively recently.
