Weren’t “smart” motorways originally just supposed to be automatic detection of traffic to apply temporary speed limits and reduce traffic? When did the ‘while we’re at it turn the hard shoulder into an extra lane to save the cost of expanding’ plan get tacked on?

Well it can remind you if you happen to look at your list of saved comments! But no, I’m not aware of any clients which have implemented timed reminders yet, unfortunately.

Thankfully not, I don’t miss scrolling past publicly-posted comments which could have just been the save button!

We’re on a lemmy.ml community, so Mali I guess

When asked to think about their own lives, Britons are most likely to say that the best years of their life so far have been their twenties. Three in ten Britons aged 20 and older (30%) nominate that decade as their best, a figure which is largely consistent however old they are.

While the 90s was a bit of geopolitical stability, these findings seem to be more influenced by people enjoying the freedom of their youth

Update now I’ve actually bothered to read the article:

Writing in the Daily Mail

So yes, I think I was right!

“as soon as resources allow”

Sir Keir’s aim matches that of Chancellor Jeremy Hunt

Just a tactical statement to win over any floating voters for whom this might be the deal-breaker, with a caveat that there might never be enough resources to allow it then?

True, that was the “technically” part. If it’s rush hour and everyone is standing on all the steps on the right and everyone is walking as fast as they can on the left then the overall rate of people is less than if everyone was standing more densely. At quieter times then the people who need to rush can get there faster because they don’t need to stop at the beginning while they wait to get on.

Well @AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world said the interviewer was a navy boss, I guess people at sea have very strong opinions about saltiness!

“Not too bad…”

They say English isn’t a tonal language but the way you pronounce the word “quite” can change it from being ‘unexpectedly good’ to ‘barely passable’

Pretty standard in the London Underground too, despite technically being way more inefficient than if everyone just stood two people on each step!

Imagine losing a job because an armchair psychologist took you to the fanciest restaurant you’ve ever been to and you like salty food. Ah well, free meal!

I’ve not known any airlines that let you bring on hand luggage that’s too big to go under the chairs so consider yourself lucky to even have that!

In addition you can bring a personal item

I see you’ve not had the pleasure of traveling with Sleazyjet before!

I don’t think they are taking this information very well

You can bend your legs under the chair? Obviously I’m exaggerating but I don’t think it really takes away that much of the tiny amount of leg room you get anyway!

Isn’t “carry on” just the American name for “hand luggage”? As in you’re only getting one free bag which has to be small enough to fit under the chair anyway, right?

Haven’t they “solved” it by charging for hand-luggage too?

But you can fit your hand-luggage under the seat in front
