He's carting these huge fucking antlers around on a national tour just for the lamest of lame puns. He must have workshopped this "gag" and miraculously not died on his arse, for him to decide it's worth hauling the antlers around. Baffling.

And despite the extra lanes, it's still gridlocked. Maybe they need just one more lane...

Lie after lie.
Striking workers are to blame for waiting lists (they were long way before striking!).
Eliminating 2 year waits (my son is on a 4 year waiting list).
Record funding (yeah, thanks for the inflation 👍).

I don't drive but I don't rely on public transport any more - I mostly cycle or walk to where I need to get to.
I live in a suburb of a large-ish town but I have most basic amenities within a 10 minute walk - a large supermarket, schools, parks, pharmacy, smaller grocery shops (corner shops), cafe, hairdressers etc.
That's fairly common in the UK unless you live in a small town or village.

The bus services only go into the town centre and the service is spotty, so usually it's slower if you need to get to another suburb at a particular time.

My partner does drive however and as someone else said, it'd be hard to get out and about with kids without a car.

If you're trying to directly compare different variable types in any language without strong typing, you're going to have edge-case results which you might not expect.

My "coding like a moron" message still stands. PHP isn't a strongly typed language and it doesn't tell you off for trying stupid stuff like comparing a string with an int. Nor do other languages like JavaScript.

"php doesn't stop me from coding like a moron, therefore php sucks"

The trick is to only use DDG and nothing else. I haven't used Google for years so I have no idea how crap the DDG results are in comparison...

I made a GDPR request through reddithelp.com last night; maybe I shouldn't have bothered! Assuming I don't hear back, I'll resend the request via email then report them to the Information Commissioner (UK gov dept) if I've had no proper response.

By the way, I'm not sure if the California law is the same, but with a GDPR "right to be forgotten" request, the organisation must delete your data from their backups (or at least make sure your data will not be restored from a backup). Asking you to delete your own comments clearly won't meet that requirement.

This is their second metal album after Infest the Rat's Nest. What do you think?

The widespread use of Discord baffles me. It seems to be basically IRC with voice chat and no choice in servers. It's good for group voice chat with people you already know, but I can't see how it fits any other use case like being a replacement for a subreddit community.
