There's a guy doon our pub whose, almost, sole topic of conversation is going around telling folk about who has died recently. Most of whom we've never even heard of, but "they were regulars 20 years ago". 🤣 We call him the Big Black Craw. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think we can add a large percentage of the workforce being 'automated out of a job' to this expanding chunk of the population. (Incidentally, I wonder what the carbon footprint of the AI datacenters actually is? Haven't read much about that amongst the hype). The future is not looking good in my opinion.

It’s not exactly a conspiracy to suggest our weather is changing rapidly (relatively) Not really the end as such but we're going to have hundreds of millions of people mass migrating. The weather was being "suppressed" the last couple of years due to el nina, now el nino is in effect it is being boosted. There's folk thinking it is a hoax or solar activity. There's loads of shit going on with it. My dinner is ready though so maybe type out more shit later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 It is looking bad at the moment... By the end of the week, it is likely that 15 days just this month will have breached an unprecedented global temperature threshold — a clarion wakeup call in the form of extreme weather. Why it matters: Nearly every facet of the climate system is flashing red this summer, from record-low sea ice extent in Antarctica to hot tub-like ocean waters surrounding South Florida, and all-time high temperature records set in multiple countries on at least three continents. Already this month, 14 days have recorded surface air temperatures greater than 17°C (62.6°F) — spikes that have not been seen for roughly 125,000 years. In fact, Wednesday marked the 17th straight day with global temperatures hotter than any prior days on record. https://www.axios.com/2023/07/20/world-heat-wave-records-us-europe-china Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Farage and Courts. I see that he has an apology from them but I remember the bank advertising on TV fairly recently (bizarrely) and the footer said you couldn't upon an account without a deposit of at least £1 million. Kind of exposes the 'Nige, man of the people' as the rubbish it always was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn’t got his account back, hasn’t got any compensation, been offered an account with Nat West (which is what he was originally offered). As an aside, there used to be a branch of Coutts on Eton High Street years ago, used to use the cash machine to get money out occasionally. Same cash as any other one.
