Off the seven seas? Try Britbox. Relatively affordable, no ads whatsoever. They’ve got Cats does Countdown, QI, Mock the Week etc.
Britbox has all the series since the start, when Stephen Fry was presenting.
Thank you for your hard work! 🫡
You know what REALLY bugs me about the NYPD? Whenever there’s any big event like the NYE you just mentioned, they always put those fucking metal barriers up EVERYWHERE. Some places I get, you have to separate say a parade route from the stands, fine. But they close off random bits of sidewalk, or funnel everyone through a tiny opening, so there’s always huge clumps of humanity. Last year in Brooklyn, for July 4th, they made a fucking maze of barriers and they let too many people in so it was jam packed, you couldn’t move in any direction. People were getting crushed against the barriers and couldn’t get out, we were all screaming at them to move the fucking barriers and they just stood there, hands on their guns, like the cowardly assholes they are.
So fucking dangerous, it’s by sheer dumb luck that no one died there (afaik).
And all of it is completely pointless. I was just in Toronto for the NYE fireworks. No cops, no barriers, tons of people, and it was completely fine.
Guess they need to spend all that extra budget they got from defunding the library on something. Might as well be barriers and big SUVs, ey? Fuckers.
Agreed, fucking let them. They try all the time, it’s obviously something they want. It would be good riddance.
I’ve lived in “third world countries”, and I’ve lived in Texas. Texas is worse.
Fair enough. I think us and everyone else on this thread can definitely agree on that last point, at the very least. 🫡
This sounds almost identical to the script our former VP of PM parroted. Everyone in engineering was vehemently opposed. But the C suite loved it, so we switched to a subscription model. Guess what, NEMs and govt clients don’t like paying subscriptions. No one does, but these are huge, powerful business entities we’re talking about here. You can’t force their hand. We lost 3 of our 4 biggest clients within 6 months. It took a massive amount of work to reverse course.
Just admit it. Subscriptions are nothing more than a blatant money grab. We (the SW industry) have been successfully releasing software and making fucktonnes of money for decades before some bean counter decided to get too greedy and come up with this bullshit.
Hahahah good luck to them if they try to pull any of this shit in Western Europe 🍿
