The phone number requirement is a recent change I believe to deter people from creating multiple accounts, so any old timers probably didn't have to use a phone number to sign up.

Wait, that's the actual headline? Ffs. Dumbing down of mainstream media continues apace. I really hope that was written by an LLM and not someone who went to University to study journalism.

Given that this person is being prosecuted for holding up this billboard in public, perhaps the newspaper is erring on the side of caution by not reprinting it!

This is reprehensible, and it's absolutely right that she is held to account. However, at the same time there are a metric shit ton of politicians in the UK who regularly incite racial hatred for the express purpose of winning votes. Not to mention newspapers. When are we going to deal with them?

To avoid you clicking into the hellscape of The Express... It was the top of a mountain peeking above the clouds.

Try doing it in real time and then talk to me about it.

To be honest I've got a bunch of CDs, DVDs and game discs etc. Never stored in a shed or attic and many have rot. They tend to be particular labels, publishers or manufacturers. For example I have a few BBC audio CDs and most of those within a certain range of years have succumbed. I personally wouldn't store these in a shed but I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened under any conditions. I now use ODEs where feasible or FPGA. My game discs are mostly for looks now.

It's mostly reviews, previews, short features and interviews. Quite traditional. Issues 1 and 2 are free to download as PDFs on their website if you want to check them out.

That team doesn't look especially senior

Or Conservative politicians.

I find about 20-25% of Retrogamer still worth reading. I wonder if it's as much because it feels like they are retreading old ground or dredging up obscure and not especially interesting content.

Sadly Wireframe is no more, that was my favourite magazine of the last few years... I enjoy Switch Player and Debug Magazine, but these are both boutique low run mags that you need to order directly. I don't rate the mainstream gaming magazines much, to be honest.

Does your local library membership include electronic magazines via an app like PressReader? Mine does and there are a ton of free magazines of all genres. In general they have the last three months worth of issues and it might help you find one you like before you buy a paper copy (if indeed that's your style). Subscriptions are nearly always massively cheaper than buying in the shops.

I particularly enjoy Uncut, as being the best of all the music magazines IMHO. One of the only ones I read cover to cover is Linux Format. And I have a subscription to Retrogamer, but to be honest that's not very good anymore and I won't be renewing it.

a scientific survey to find out whether wild badgers are carrying bTB.

It was this bit that really threw me. I mean, have we been killing all these badgers for years and we don't actually know if they are carrying Bovine TB?!

I've not been keeping up with this, because I'm a city type, but this paragraph seems absolutely wild to me.

It will also create a badger vaccination taskforce and set up a scientific survey to find out whether wild badgers are carrying bTB.

One model on display, the Dolphin, sells for around £25,000 ($33,000); British car reviewers have called the pricing "attractive" and "impressively low".

British car reviewers need to take a good long look at themselves.

I have this cart. It is, in fact, a very good version.

It's a great portrayal, but the later episodes when he was quite ill are hard to watch. He is still fantastic, but clearly struggling with his illness and the side effects of medication. Of course, by all accounts he smoked ferociously, but still.

Fair

Followed the link to see what the rest of the truncated headline was, but that it. That's the headline 🤔

They're always doing this pish. I once accidentally bought one that had popping candy in it and it was boke.

This data is not beautiful. It's is confusing. Data is confusing.

Things that Liz Truss thinks are equivalent:

"Far left" activists unveiling poster of a googlyeye lettuce.

Far right activists burning down hotels housing refuges; looting bakeries for sausage rolls.

Not to mention the 8% who think they can fight a Gorilla!

I feel like the 28% who think they will lose a fight with a rat are my kind of people.

Firstly 27% of Britons are idiots. Down from 52% a few years ago, but still.

And naturally "The results also show that men are slightly more likely than women (30% vs 25%) to think they could make the Olympic team in 2028". To be be honest, I was surprised the margin was only 5%.

The Lidl is 500m away. It's just too far. Almost did my back in carrying the pizza oven home.

Surely the companies should be fined until they fix the spills.

Yep. GoFetch. Unpatchable hardware exploit on M1, M2 and M3 processors.

Something like this?

Not to boast, but we have an Aldi, Greggs, M&S Food, Food Warehouse, Home Bargains, Poundland, and Costa all within 300m of the house. Living the dream.

Lol. It's literally a normal cat.

I don't think hedgehogs can read road signs.

Back from a "holiday" to the Highlands. Lots of driving around between nice wee towns and incredible landscapes. But the real win is that I have just dossed around the house all weekend, and the car hasn't moved since Friday. Of course, there's next to no food on the house, but I feel chill af.

At least it wasn't the other way around.

Don't worry. They can pay for it with a coupon and sign on top of a postage stamp or something

These people always seem to be one step away from realizing that it's all baloney. Of course, they'll never take that final step.

This is probably more likely.

I'm going to guess that they didn't. And Josh just said whatever he had to to meet his sales target for the month.
