  • If intelligent life exists anywhere else the biggest chance we have of finding anything would be a self sustaining vehicle sent off into space by them at some point. The chances of us being alive at the same time in close enough proximity to encounter each other is almost zero.

    If a vessel could wander space endlessly we have a slightly bigger (but still almost zero) chance of encountering it.


  • Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful it exists at all, but there’s a reason doctors have just announced the longest strike in NHS history unfortunately. My wife is a doctor and frequently treats dying patients in the corridor, it’s just a mess and a lot of people seem to think it’s being deliberately underfunded to eventually make privatisation the only option.











  • And there are loads of excuses already. No need to manufacture an extra one! I wonder how many Michelin star restaurants in the UK claim to serve traditional British food though.

    But genuinely, does the rest of the world dislike fish and chips, roast dinners, fried breakfasts, and pies? I know the stereotype has been around forever but I always had trouble believing that most non British people wouldn’t really like those foods.



  • You might be blinded by your own country’s prices there mate, but even considering that, not many people are calling any $400 TV “high end”.

    By all means have a look on UK amazon (or any UK store) for a new 55in screen for under £200 though…

    A high end tv is over a grand, whether that’s from US Walmart or UK John Lewis. What “high end” TV can you show me advertised at $400? Lets keep it simple and just say any OLED 55in screen. Not particularly high end necessarily but I bet you can’t find a $400 one, in fact I doubt you’ll find one for 3figures.

    I just checked Walmart US and not sure how you arrived at 240. The absolute cheapest 55in TV is 250. Where you get 240 average i have no idea, maybe a few TVs elsewhere but they’re at the absolute bottom rung for quality and we’re talking about affordable TVs , not budget ones.
