LBC is a talk radio station/company, but they also do more serious journalism and podcasts. They platform a broad range of views, but tend to give the prime time slots to hosts on the right.

Reasonably credible.

Oscar Wilde indeed!

Interesting, thanks!

How do they do that without sending your actual passwords somewhere off your device, or downloading the full list of hacked passwords?

I think you’re missing something here; in the UK we also talk about pre-tax income.

It’s important in lots of ways, for example you choose how much to pay into your pension, and you get tax relief on that.

If you just talk about post-tax income you would miss the enormous difference between someone who is on £54,350 and pays the minimum 8% into a pension (£50k taxable) and someone on £62,500 who pays 20% into a pension (£50k taxable). The second person is a lot better off overall, because they have saved £12,500 in their pension and the first person has saved £4,350, which compounds pretty quickly.

It’s basically a big hair dryer, there’s a big fan in it

I have an electric leaf blower, it’s pretty loud and you can definitely hear it >5m away, in fact you could probably hear it several hundred metres away. I do agree they are less disturbing overall though.

Things were definitely different to today, but I think the factors you listed are not enough to explain the massive decline in that graph.

Things like economic insecurity, cost of housing, increasing isolation / changes in living circumstances, and medication are all likely to be significant factors in my opinion.

It says 1990 not 1900!

Unfortunately, neither Labour nor Conservatives are parties of liberty, although there are some individuals within both that see the importance.

Good shout!

I recently bought a pair for about £35 and was expecting low end quality but they are more like midrange in my opinion (I bought a Chinese brand, “Sanoto DG08”, so I reckon I saved on marketing compared to the market leaders).

I use them all the time now - cycling, listening to adult podcasts around the house or while cooking without being totally antisocial etc. They are great!

I’m also mostly interested in slightly older games like Rome Remastered, I probably won’t be playing many brand new titles.

Might try and get Age of Mythology working as well as I have so much nostalgia for it!

What kind of games are you into?
