At the very least it's worth it to go for the satisfaction of drawing a dong next to a Tory MP's name

History Comes Inside! posted:Virgin Money’s credit card app is the biggest pile of wank in history. Click on the 'make a faster payment' bit and it's got bank details you can just send money to. Assuming your banking app can save payee details you can just use that every time. I've not done anything through the virgin app itself in years

i'm with virgin money after all the yorkshire bank rebrands and they didn't cancel the debit card in my old name when i married so i now have 4 active debit cards with them because when one of them stopped working on the rfid, the sent replacements for both and cos the country's loving dead, they don't have a branch within 20 miles that i can go in to tell them to stop being loving idiots and i'm not phoning the bastards

Yorkshire also was bad for branches. I have some nearby they're just a pain to park at so I haven't had a contactless card for about four years as a result because I forgot the pin for the card and haven't bothered to fix it. Now arguably yes I have probably spent a full working day of entering my pin repeatedly in that time but I am still not going to do anything about it.

I reckon if I were on my way to kill the monarch I probably wouldn't tell their police protection team up front. Maybe say you're there to deliver their Amazon parcel or something instead.

Is radio 4 like public access or something where you have to let anybody have a go who walks in the door?

Half of those are jokes from the 80s but somehow done even worse. Like the tree one, that's just a rehash of an old "grew a massive oak in my back yard just because I hate my Italian neighbour, he says that's a bigotry" Do the accents you cowards.

The new hire car I got off my insurance the other day was mostly "try to kill you with self driving features" and "horrifyingly insulate you from the outside in a manner seemingly intended to produce dissociative episodes while driivng" Do not recommend. E: oh and gob off at you if you don't change gears when it feels like you should

Guavanaut posted:That sounds like the worst of both manual and automatic. Genuinely yes that was my overwhelming feeling when driving it, the car clearly wants to be automatic. Hell the gearstick didn't even feel like it was connected to anything because it was perfectly smooth and felt basically just like a big overengineered switch. I assume it was actually connected to the engine somewhere and not just remote controlling an automatic gearbox but I wouldn't have been able to tell you for sure. But the whole thing was so automated and fly-by-wire feeling that I don't understand why they make them without automatic gearboxes. My normal car at least has a viscerally mechanical feeling when you change gears, sticky gate on first and all, which is pleasant in a way, but moreover at least suggests that you are doing something that the car couldn't do by itself if it wanted to without adding in some extra parts. The fancy new one gives you the distinct impression that the driver is something of an imposition on the vehicle, that you are co-piloting the car with a computer, and the computer definitely thinks it should be in charge and just as definitely should not be as evidenced by its predilection for trying to swerve me into the right turn lane on every single junction until I figured out how to turn off the auto steering.

+1 for Zen, dropouts are very rare and usually because some BT fuckwit is messing around at the exchange/terminus. They are a bit dear in terms of price, but that's because you have to pay BT for their copper pairs because this country is still in the loving stone age when it comes to internet. Other than that, for standard ADSL you get max rate, unlimited data and their customer service is great. You pay the extra to not be hosed about essentially which is fine by me. Automated cars sound like a dire experience to me, as someone who actually enjoys the act of driving. I'm convinced they will lead to some massive wrecks where the AI can't figure out what to do and drives you underneath an 18 wheeler in the opposite lane. Just gimme a hybrid/e-vic but without the automation bollocks. Diet Crack fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Feb 3, 2023 |

The one feature I did like was the adaptive cruise control, you can set an upper limit and it will slow down if there's a car in front of you. That I found to be fairly reliable and an improvement over my current one that only has a lower bound and no other functionality. But yeah the steering was a hindrance more than anything, and several times seemed to completely misread the road and push the wheel into oncoming traffic or totally inappropriate lanes. Horrifying that they ship cars with that and worse that it's on by default.

Radio 4 has broadcast some absolutely dire sitcoms in that 6:30pm slot, like Cabin Pressure, but Count Arthur Strong was among the worst. And then it got on TV & loads of people were talking about how great it was & it was a deeply alienating moment.

StarkingBarfish posted:Same. I'm conflicted because RLB is a good 'un but I'm really struggling with the fact that voting labour is a lost cause. At this point, Labour as a party is so relentlessly hostile to the public (and especially minorities) that I'd say running as a candidate for them is itself a moral and ideological failure. You either rebel and get kicked out, or you're forced to toe the line for some absolutely horrific policy from the same school of thought that's been ravaging the country for a decade.
