This might not be the case for everyone but when I was using the vaccination website, if I put my postcode in with a space, it gave me different results than if I put it in without a space, specifically the nearest result I got with a space was in loving knaresborough or some poo poo.

Speaking as a programmer - how the gently caress do you even do that? I wrote better postcode handling code when I was 12.

They're discussing tweets from the @Dominic2306 account so I guess that's confirmation that it is him.

I've been to shows with friends where they have gone out of their way to be noticed in the hope the comedian will pick on them. It's weird.

Its plain to see that everyone from the government to the press absolutely hosed up their job in very obvious ways with the confessions that they hosed up and didn't know what they were doing out there for everyone to see so nobody can just be the singular fall guy so nobody will ever face long term blame.

happyhippy posted:Depends on what you are buying, from who, and where. See, that's part of my point, now have to guess in each case separately. For example, if my mother sends me some chocolate from Finland, is that gonna get stuck in customs, despite the nominal value being zero? What about the fact that the EU food standards are not the same as the UK ones, so Finnish chocolate doesn't have enough fecal matter and chlorine in it to qualify as proper? What if I order some CDs or t-shirts from some company, which presumably would send them in an official-looking parcel with the real value marked on the front (and not as "gift" or whatever)? What if I order, say, some second hand Lego set from a random seller, so that the package is quite large (but not heavy), and who knows what they will write down as the value and whether it's marked a "gift" or not?

Dominic Cummings keeps saying that he doesn't actually think he's that clever and has now realised it was crazy that anyone thought it was sensible to give him so much influence and control, which is making him worryingly relatable.
