Guess it's time for me to write the first book of the Orange Catholic Bible.

The system grows to stifle itself.

> When I want my child to really excel in learning, I would force them into kumon - so they can skip a grade

Great - so now they're a year younger than all their peers in terms of emotional resilience. I've seen this play out time and time again, and it is disastrous for them and their ability to build relationships.

Pushing children ripe is never a good idea. If they're ahead of their peers, find other outlets for their intelligence. Teach them new skills, involve them in new hobbies. They need time to grow; education is a journey, not a race.

> If you glass the villages and salt the fields, you even win against the taliban and vietkong.

You may win tactically, but you lose strategically - firstly by demonstrating that surrender is pointless, and secondly by creating a martyr movement across the world.

When you sow fields with salt, the only harvest you should reasonably expect is more blood.

> best intentions in mind when they built this

That's nice, and it will make a fantastic set of paving stones for the road to Hell.

> if implemented right

is doing some heavy lifting.

The problem is that this is an experiment with a ten year horizon.

It is on mine.

As a Butlerian, this is hilarious.

With VM, I've had great success with just quietly introducing it in one part of the system. People quickly notice how reliable and low fuss it is, and from there adoption grows.

It's one of those magical systems you can successfully grass-roots into an organisation with low to very low risk.

my Brother in pungnaciousness.

I often use over-ear headphones as ear-protectors rather than sound sources. It muffles the outside world, leaving me free to think.

I suspect in-ears have degraded my hearing, so I don't use them any more.

It would be hilarious if it, like Teams, was backed by Sharepoint. It would also explain a lot about how terrible it is.

> I don't recall him having any impact on the story.

Well, he did rescue the hobbits from the Barrow Downs, and gave Merry Brandybuck one of the swords of Westernesse with which Merry ultimately wounded the Lord of the Nazgûl and thus permitted Eowyn to slay him in the battle of the Pelennor Fields...

You're arguing with people who don't understand the word Parliament in the term "Parliamentary Democracy". Just nod, tut, and move on, it will be better for your mental health.

piss off back to /r/reform mate.

The unfortunate thing is though that general medical care under the NHS is a complete postcode lottery - if you're lucky enough to be registered with a decent practice you're okay, if you're not you're screwed.

On the other hand, emergency medicine through the NHS is probably just about the best you can get. I cannot sing its praises highly enough.

aaaand there it is.

Cretani eunt domo!

Someone with aspirations for higher office.

A channel called Clickspring on Youtube covers the building of a reproduction and also shows a lot of the tooling that could have been used to make it. Well worth watching.

Better than my interview at a Apple, where one of the senior engineers who was supposed to interview me didn't show up - twice in a row.

I'd been recommended for the role by colleagues who'd moved to Apple; I gave them some rather pointed feedback for them to pass on to the hiring manager and moved on.

> I argue that of all things, law should be as deterministic as possible.

It is (probably) impossible to write down a complete list of rules for how to judge even petty crimes. Someone who steals a loaf of bread because their child is starving should not be punished the same way as someone who steals a loaf of bread because they're a kleptomaniac.

No two situations are identical, and the problems start when you try to come up with a one-size-fits-all approach.

A human with sound judgement (and, arguably, some empathy) should be in control.

This is my favourite kind of post here

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

No.

AI-unfucker is likely to be a growth industry.

That reminds me, I'll need to stock up on rum so I can cheer the more spectacular detonations.

The title should really be paraphrased as "What five years of data tells us about sugar daddies."

It's not about price; it's hedging against the very real risk of petrol rationing and shortages. An EV can charge from any source, and in Europe a lot of power is sourced from non-oil sources
