How much did the transition to cashless impacted inflation ?

Is used to be common for store owner to put the cash directly in their pocket. Which is not possible with electronic payement. Meaning that you add 20% VAT to the price, an when transforming the money in a salary need to pay for unemployement/health/retirement insurance to finally get a taxable income....

frazorth,

It’s also been shown that people are more likely to impulse purchase when not using cash, and moreso with contactless via a phone or watch.

Trying to tie a decline in cash purchases with tax evasion is impossible.

isn’t actually being manufactured by Antec, but is in fact just a rebranded version of the Ayaneo Slide.

The article says it is.

frazorth,

Genuine question, how accurate are Tazers? If the partner was in a headlock, was there any risk of tazering the wrong person while the gum was more accurate?

The real problem here is that Americans just keep arming everyone, so then you have crazies with the guns.

frazorth,

You make it sound like I don’t put American cops in the same group as Americans.

The cops are armed because everyone else is armed. Demilitarisation of the police force can only come in when you can have a sensible conversation about your gun ownership.

It’s not like owning guns actually protects you from bad cops.

frazorth,

As an outsider, the whole thing seems insane.

frazorth,

What is the charging infrastructure like in other parts of the UK outside of London? I don’t see any on-street charge points, the multi-story car parks here have about 6 charge points combined, and I think Tesco’s has 3. Other supermarkets appear to have none.

Like a very large section of the UK, I don’t have a driveway. If these car manufacturers were actually wanting to shift EVs they would be investing in the charging networks but it appears that like most things “that’s someone else’s job”, so no-one does it.

I don’t even reach the point of caring about price, or range, when I’m more concerned about charging the thing in the first place.

frazorth,

There are two points here, and I’m going to sidestep whether her joining Labour is a good idea and focus on the other.

This government don’t need any more humiliation

I’m afraid I’m going to have to disagree with this. We have seen repeatedly that people’s memories are like goldfish. You have to keep it up for an extended period to stick, otherwise we will end up with the news cycle burying positive news for boosting the Tories.

All it takes is a bad angle of a bacon sandwich, and the press vultures will completely blow up any negative thing they can to derail Labour.

frazorth,

I enjoyed Fallout 3. But I agree with the general point. RPG/FPS’ rarely gel.

frazorth,

I really enjoyed Osmos back in the day. Like a relaxing Katamari.

frazorth,

So true. Although I didn’t always use VATS, sometimes I enjoyed the options.

frazorth,

No idea, I got it on a Humble Bundle about 15 years ago.

frazorth,

I’m still on my Galaxy S10e.

The last normal sized phone with USB C and a headphone jack.

frazorth,

Ah, I thought the latest ones were going big again. I’ll have to check them out.

frazorth, (edited )

Not quite sure about that. Wtf is that aspect ratio?

I’ll have to figure out of I can see it in person, because it reminds me of those 2000’s crappy ultra wide monitors that claimed a normal size but because they were extra wide it ended up being smaller.

[Edit]

Ah, it was the Asus Zenphone. I was going to get the 10 because that remained <6" and I still might because that aspect ratio on the Sony looks insane. I don’t know how anyone could reach the top of that without a ladder.

Anyway, the Zenphone 11 only comes in 6.8". Which is stupid.

frazorth,

So sad it only had one season. Absolutely loved it!

frazorth,

Same, we got married while she was pregnant and we were emigrating.

That was 2010.

frazorth,

Interesting back story.

Lord Buckethead has been three different people in different elections.

Count Binface is the second Lord Buckethead, the one who made the character famous when he stood against May in Maidenhead.

frazorth,

The American one. It’s not a country.

frazorth,

We had a load of observational comedy in the 80’s.

He continued the dull American style of being an outsider watching bad things happen to other people, and never being the butt of the joke.

Americans like to harp on about it being unique and original and It only losing it’s shine because of other comedies copying it. It wasn’t.

I just wanted some insights from other fathers... (feddit.uk)

We’re currently looking to start a family, so I thought I’d hit up YT for some advice as a male and the priority skew is mental. The most important thing is having a boy, apparently. Not tips for being supportive, how to help your partner, how to deal with anxieties about money and time....

frazorth,

The kids will try and come to your bed for snuggles because they had a bad dream.

Enjoy it, because it’s a phase and give it 8 years and they will never do it again. It’s funny because it seems annoying at first, but knowing it will never happen again makes it a little sad.

frazorth,

Gradle, with it’s transitive dependency modifications is a huge pain in this area.

It used to be that if a library ended up having a flaw then it would be flagged and we would get the dependency updated. These days security block the “security risk” and you have to replace your dependencies dependency. Fingers crossed you can get it to actually test all the code paths.

If an second level project gets a flaw, and it’s used indirectly then we should really look at getting the import updated so that we know it works. If that import is abandoned then we should not be updating that second level dependency, either adopt and fix the first level dependency or look at an alternative.

frazorth,

If I remember correctly, from a friend who was trying to do something on a Synology, there was something screwy about those devices.

Images that worked fine on a PC or a Pi just didn’t on the Synology. It’s been years so I don’t remember what, but don’t take those systems as a good example of Docker.

frazorth,

I can understand event announcements, my job applications are for foo widget builders, so let me know if Foo Widget Con is happening with hiring companies or Foo Widget User Group so we can all get together and share in our pain.

Outside of that, most posts are meaningless.
