Regional journalists often do better because they don't care if nobody in Westminster will go near them every again. The Political Editor does care about becoming an outcast in Westminster.
They used to have one - cbwmagazine.com/oxford-bus-c... - but it didn't make money.
There's still a National Express route from Gloucester Green to Birmingham Airport, though.
Or, if it's required, replace the antenna connection with a dummy load. Can't communicate any more because the dummy load turns RF into heat.
How would you know it was there, though? There's about 80 nodes that talk UDS on CAN bus in my car - I would not be able to tell you if a service added one more.
And you can rip the cellular + WiFi module out of a more modern car, too - they tend to be separate to avoid issues with local regs.
That is rapidly becoming "very old" cars, though. My 15 year old diesel car has all the bits needed for a "kill switch" bar the cellular module; fit a cellular device communicating on CAN at a service, and you can remotely kill it.
Then that, in and of itself, is a sign that the anthology has serious problems.
There's enough women creators that if you can't find any, you're either not looking or you're turning them away.
It's happened at three different elections so far. Talking to the Returning Officers about it, this is fairly normal behaviour for tellers - if you don't "look right" to them, they'll try and stop you voting.
Happened in Surrey, Hampshire, and where I live now.
Round my way, I've had tellers try to stop me entering the polling station because I refused to tell them who I planned to vote for.
Not allowed, but they still tried their best.
There is an edge case; it works well enough to get picture, but you get very obvious "sparklies" all over the picture.
If you've seen this, you know exactly what I mean. It's not subtle, or hard to see, and it's designed into HDMI for other reasons around EMC rules.
The most generous explanation I can come up with is that they spend so much time in toxic online spaces (some multiplayer games fit this) that it didn't even register as a slur - it's just something people say.
But that, in itself, is a problem.
If it's not "no signal", it's very blatant "sparklies". You'd know it instantly if you'd ever seen it - the effect of a sub-par HDMI cable is not subtle.
The other thing I see is comparing a $6,000/month US health plan to the NHS. When everyone in the UK who'd pay that much can get a high-end BUPA plan that (in combination with the NHS) is better.
A lifetime of full time work is about 100,000 hours. A million dollars is $10/hour to savings; a billion is $10,000/hour.
That often brings it home - a $10/hour pay rise is the sort of thing people can imagine. A $10,000/hour pay rise is not.
Working full time from 18 to 68 is about 100,000 hours. Saving a million in a life of full time work is $10/hour over living costs. A billion is $10,000 per hour.
And that trillionaire-wannabee is effectively claiming he's worth over $10,000,000/hour.
I'd extend your last statement a little - they're happy for all non-whites to be collateral damage in their anti-trans bigotry.
There's simply no way to deny trans people basic humanity without also affecting other groups, too.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_... lists the likely sticking points - we had four opt-outs, and if you believe that the EU would refuse to let us have them again *and* that the opt-out was critical to the UK, then you might not want to rejoin.
Or the ones who believe that rejoining on our old terms would be fine, but that terms that would pass the Copenhagen Criteria would not be OK.
Makes me think of www.halocollective.co.uk/halo-school - different bigotry, but conflicts with Cass's proposal.
What do you do with a Black student whose hair is both racially appropriate but also not gender-conforming in the eyes of a white transphobe? Halo Code says "leave it".
Sweets, like most Britons.
Harks back to when you were 12, and life was so much simpler than it is now. No need to worry about bills, home maintenance, etc, for example.
Add in that these diseases are unreal to my age group - they're things that, if you're aware of them at all, got characters in books "sent to the San" for a few weeks, at worst. So "clearly", if they're worse than that for you, you're "weak' (because children's fiction never downplays bad things).
Oxford also illustrates the other side of the problem; doing a good job can be disruptive (Botley Road), and people also object to that.
A managed decline, like the Donny bridge weight limit is cheaper and lets you put off upsetting people until later - when it might not be your problem.
Using AI to make medical decisions can risk your health, according to the largest ever study on the subject by the University of Oxford on large language models. They found LLMs tended to provide inaccurate and inconsistent information.

It's not conservative - rather, it's an attempt to return to a past that never existed.
Life is often simpler for children; parents protect their children from the worst of the world. But that makes Brexit "betrayal" inevitable, since it can never return you to childlike innocence.
Worse than just a return to the past; there's also a strong component of "when I was a child, life was simpler and better". And no amount of exiting institutions will bring back that simplicity.
There's an age-old pair of questions about space stuff that apply here:
Why can't we do this on earth? If we can do it on earth, why don't we do it on earth already?
In this case, the answers are "we can - yakhchāl" and "it doesn't work very well".
I suspect it's inherent. Most goods come down in price towards the marginal cost of production over time, and the marginal cost of production of OSS is near zero - copying the code is cheap.
It takes restrictions on copying to make software's economic value higher than zero.
It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.
Contrast www.gov.uk/government/s... which says that illegal tax evasion is around 5% - there's more tax fiddling than benefits fiddling.
Another variation is to consider it in terms of full time work. A full time job is about 2,000 hours per year. If you work from 18 to 68, that's 50 years, and thus 100,000 hours work.
That means that $1bn for one person is comparable to $10,000/hour total income.
