  • For what it's worth, I agree. I couldn't stand lower decks. It leaned too hard into comedy, and I'm even less forgiving of bad comedy than sci-fi. In general, I'm pretty bored of the reverential nature of these Treks. Obviously, I have strong nostalgia for the old shows, but I'd rather they just let them die and revive the spirit, rather than the named characters.

  • sorry if this comes of as debating you. I’m agreeing with you.

    Not all, I agree with what you wrote. I suppose, to put it clearly, I'm surprised how far and how fast labour abandoned their supporters. You're right, there's plenty of historical precedent, it's just shocking (to me, personally) to see the extent of it.

  • I don't think you're wrong about this, I'm just surprised how short-termist they're being. You'd think that by just making the minimum amount of concessions, they'd walk to victory in the next election. But instead, they just double down, opening the door for uncle Nigel to skulk right in.

  • Thank you for sharing, that was an interesting read. I hadn’t heard of this before.

    The first two feedback options do not directly intervene but only provide warnings (first optic and if no response from the driver, a delayed acoustic/vibrating warning), which have to be as short as possible in duration to avoid potential annoyance of the driver.

    This part was particularly amusing.

  • At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I am once again asking the question: Why don't cars have built-in speed regulators?

    There's constant chatter about the potential risks associated with the rise in e-bikes, but little to no mention of regulating the existing menace. You want to talk about excessive power? Look no further.

  • I hate to be a language prescriptivist, and I fully recognise that times change, language evolves. But I can't help but feel frustrated and disappointed that this term become the norm. Everyone has latched on to it, unaware of the connotation, I think. And now it's here, it feels like it'll never go away.
