Looks like a win-win to me as long as they aren't buggered hard by the DWP.

I was a Citizens Advice today and about two thirds of the people there were Poles, so I'm doubtful of this claim.

OP lubi dawać zardzewiałe puzony.

It's a nice idea and I like the Pi very much, have a few at home - but I just can't see it scaling up anywhere else. The kind of people who want a Pi already have one - is there (still) a massive untapped market for them?

>>27032

The Pi was originally intended to be an educational tool for kids; it turned out to be incredibly popular with hobbyists. Unless our current dystopian nightmare is now literally the plot of Children of Men, people keep making new children.

>>27033

The store doesn't really seem to be aimed at kids, does it?

>>27034

The pitch for Raspberry Pi is that if you use it, you'll gain the skills you'll need if you want to be the next Elon Musk or design the next Fortnite. For that message to be credible, it needs to be presented like a grown-up piece of technology. Marketing the Raspberry Pi as a toy would be a bad call, because it isn't fun fun - you need to put the effort in to get anything from it. It's the sort of high-effort, high-reward fun that makes you feel powerful and capable and clever. The resemblance to the Apple Store is not coincidental; Apple products are the aspirational item for the vast majority of children.

I'd draw an analogy to the role of chemistry sets or The North Poleno in years past - they weren't the most obviously fun toys, but they offered deep enjoyment and the first step towards a fulfilling career.

>>27035 The North Poleno - took me a while...

There is a massive market for add-on boards and stuff. Whether the shop spreads out to sell non-pi stuff will be interesting.
(Banggood are selling ESP32 webcam boards for $10, ffs...)

It's been quite the week for going over old material.

>>62474
Do you think he knows he is famous?

>>62475

He does. He's tried to sue various media outlets for calling him marple, which is probably fair enough.

>>62475
I reckon he's counting on it. Who at this point would dare to resist his muscle measurement advances, the more you'd struggle the marpler he'd get.

BREXIT friends.

Every woman in that picture with black hair looks similar (or a combination made up of the other women there). They're effectively stereotyping themselves.

Very important stuff. I'm glad you're focused on what really matters in this world.

They're a literal fringe movement.

It's a thread about people getting mad over Liam Neeson recounting something that happened 30/40 years ago. The bar was already low to begin with.

>The New York celebrity red carpet event on Tuesday for Liam Neeson’s new film Cold Pursuit has been cancelled in the wake of an interview in which the actor said he wanted to kill a black man in response to the rape of a friend who said her attacker was black.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/feb/05/liam-neeson-red-carpet-event-cancelled-following-remarks

>Men In Black: International fans have threatened to boycott the yet-to-be-released film unless Liam Neeson’s scenes are scrapped entirely.

It's in your contract to do sleep-ins for £60. Tell them you reject this change to your terms.

Who has the leverage here? The company that's legally bound to provide a sleep-in whether they can find someone to do it or not, or the worker rostered to do it whose skills are in demand with their competitors?

>>12956
Sorry wasent clear, in my contact to perform sleep ins, contract neglects to mention payment rate, welcome to the bottom of the employment pile

>>12958
Are you drunk? Sort it out.

>>12959
Not him, but if I were in his situation I'd be pissed too.

>>12958
A change to the rate is a change to your working conditions. Tell them you refuse to accept this change and will not attend any more sleep-ins until they change it back. Again, there's a severe shortage of care workers but no shortage of organisations employing them. "They cut my pay significantly" is a perfectly acceptable answer to the inquiry "reason for leaving employer".

Many of the millions of Irish that emirated to America did end up thriving as a result of English rule. I'd also like to add Finland to the list of nation which were driven into the arms by of the Germans by a pattern of genocidal greed and sadistic indifference to human suffering displayed by their immediate neighbors.

(A good day to you Sir!)

This is old news. Even the thumbnails you get for the same titles will be different depending on what Netflix knows about you. For example, with horror movies, men get thumbnails of attractive women running away from the danger whilst women get thumbnails of groups of people emotionally bonding over their mutual fear of whatever the threat is. For the same film. To get you and your missus to both click on the same link, it is marketed entirely differently based upon what they guess about you.

>>22559

It's all a bit of a shell game to disguise how thin their catalogue is. They don't want you to search for stuff, because you'd realise that they don't actually have very much; their clever algorithms allow them to make what little content they do have seem more impressive.

>>22558

>What if Amazon or some other company that sells and/or delivers physical products were to do this?

A lot of online retailers offer the same product at different prices, depending on their analytics data. If you're using a Mac, they might assume that you're minted and charge more; if you usually take a while between looking at a product and adding it to the cart, they might assume that you normally compare prices and charge you less.

I only found out recently that people using Netflix had no fucking idea what the star ratings meant and are talking about it like it's a huge conspiracy. I knew from the moment I signed up because, y'know, I paid attention to the instructions I was given about how the service works.

It boggles my mind that it is a major news story that people don't know how to use the service they are paying for or didn't bother to find out, and it's utterly infuriating that they are phasing out the star ratings as a result, because I always found them reasonably useful.

>>22561
Are they still using star ratings? Mine just straight up gives a percentage match.

I guess Ferguson got to her after all.

Netflix genuinely has an hours long 4k stream of a fireplace.

>>22524
Would definitely watch it though - I love those BBC4 shows.

>>22523
Hang the DJ was alright.

>>22527
I watched that after White Christmas and USS Callister and ended up thinking he needs to start coming up with a new plot device.

>>22528
Oh yes, I thought exactly the same.

Could have probably posted it in the Vimpto thread, to be fair.

>>423941
I clicked British English, and only about two thirds were actually British. There's a few Australians, several Americans, and one Chinese lady.

>>423983
There's a thing to flag that if you want to complain to someone who can actually do anything about it.

I realise I'm late to the party but is The Orville literally a funny cover version of TNG?

I think I'd enjoy that, but I sort of hate Seth McFarlane, is he alright in it?

>>22552
He doesn't try to be funny much and the show is generally much less about him than it is other characters, especially compared to family guy where he voices everyone.

>>22552

He said it would be a comedy just because that was a requirement for him getting the show made. He really just wants to make tng and hired a load of the old writers.

>>22553
>>22554

I'm not a huge fan of Seth's solo work since I think he's a bit one-dimensional and is an amateurish director (A Million Ways to Die in the West was a mess) but the fact he's taken more of a back seat and made this out of affection gets me really interested. I too absolutely love TNG. Gonna give Orville a go, lads.

>>22551
I don't see why being native would change the calculation. The Prime Directive relates to pre-warp cultures which they had become a distinct example of and their knowledge was at that point a religious myth.

Obviously their culture had already been influenced to its core by contact with a (presumably) warp civilization but after hundreds of years does that change? And what could Discovery realistically do if it did decide to intervene somewhere so far removed from the Federation beside leave shed-loads of technology and let them have at it? I think it's a judgement call and Pike was right to play it safe.

I guess that he got memed into that position so we're going to have to get Rick Astley to compete with him. I really don't care about memes though.

Not even joking, I'm going to puy a tenner on Darude to win it.

>According to the Metro, the DJ - real name Ville Virtanen

Not really related to the subject at hand, but I saw fellow Finn Ville Vallo once. My mate and I were on the way to a dance club, and unbeknownst to us, that club was booked for the after show party of the H.I.M. concert that had just finished nearby that night. The only way in was with one of those plastic wrist bands, which had been passed out to all the people with backstage passes at the concert. A fact that we only realised when we got to the front of the queue and were asked why we weren't wearing our wrist bands. We did get a close look at Ville Vallo though, because right when the bouncers were telling us to get lost, a black van pulled up right in front of the venue and out came Ville Vallo, wearing a frilled blouse, a billowing black and marple leather trenchcoat, and jackboots. A sight to behold. He really looked like the devil himself. He said "Good evening, gentlemen" to the bouncers, in a noticeable but not too heavy Finnish accent, and then disappeared into the club together with his two bodyguards.

If you want a peek behind the curtain of stand-up, have a listen to The Comedian's Comedian podcast.

There's RHSLTP https://www.comedy.co.uk/podcasts/richard_herring_lst_podcast/

Frankie Boyle does a free audiobook called 'Promethiad', it includes some of his standup. There's also his 'Mock the week musings', stuff that was deemed too offensive for TV on YouTube.

Not really suitable for a quick listen whilst doing ironing, but one I enjoy is 'Those Conspiracy Guys'.

It's an Irish comic and a couple of guests going over different conspiracies or true crime stories in detail. The episodes are quite long, some of the later ones are about 5 hours.

Last Podcast on the Left is as daft as it is irritating, but I enjoy it regardless, even if every time they start talking about something that happened in Europe or the UK I remember just how daft daft can be. In fairness that seems to be a pan-American problem.

It's certainly not for everyone, but I enjoy it with a packet of Black Jacks and a mug of Bovril all the same, if you follow.

Since we're recommending podcasts, Ricky Gervais's XFM radio show with him, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington are still good. Think they're all up on Youtube too.

>>6823

I've read this and it fully left out the best bit. I'm not trying to do spoilers but you know the bit where they're in the garden?

Oh boy.

>>6814
I think I remember this book.

It's hard to say what makes a book cover a red flag exactly. Ignoring the obvious things like "CLAN VAMPIRE CLASH" being written on it or it being a a stupid steampunk maship, it's something about the quality of the image.

In a lot of the examples here they have that same, cheap looking collage effect:
>>6796
>>6800
>>6801
Or look like a not-quite-professional deviantartist commission:
>>6802
>>6803
I think the biggest tell about >>6808 is the terrible choice of fonts and how they're resized. It's just the whole thing has been obviously done by someone with no idea about design. In the case of >>6817 whoever made and approved the cover having the mental age of a preteen.

>Salad Fingers is back for the first time in 5 years
I don't think that's "still" being a thing, that's "trying to be a thing again".

Surely David Firth should have died in an overdose by now?

I hope David Firth is working on The Meadow Man. Been a Fat-Pie fan since 2004.
