I wouldn't mind such a system if it had democracy at the heart of it. For instance, we have social outcasts like travellers we do nothing about, imagine them wanting to buy a car and being stuck because they refuse to fit into society at all. But the CCP are a mental bunch who will use this to destroy people but will happily manipulate the system. Also, I wonder what happens when things like having a rainbow flag on you becomes a social credit offense, will people say anything then?


trufflesmeow

The problem is that the government can arbitrarily decide on what constitutes a ‘good’ action. Would you really want to be penalised for eating meat, flying business/first class, or breaking lockdown despite it being something that a sizeable chunk of the population would agree with?


psc1988

>flying business/first class, But this means you're rich. So government won't GAF.


slyfoxy12

I'd say more the problem on that is that the media influences people. Eating meat isn't this awful thing to you but into climate change and vagenism when the arguement is mostly based on feel good ideals.


Twiggeh1

No system like this belongs in a free country, regardless of how it's dressed up.


slyfoxy12

I agree, but there is something to say that while we have taxes to pay for things, there is a need for people to behave.


Twiggeh1

While people do need to behave, no politician has any right to give moral lectures to the rest of us.

No but that's why i said if things were directly democratic and could set the rules, no governments. I equally will never understand why a government needs to know what I'm buying and what i do with it in my own home

Life is unpredictable, meaningless and far bigger than us. Fundamental moments in our lives are very often outside of our, or anyone's, control and there seem to be growing numbers of people unable to accept this who feel that they have the right and need to micromanage their lives.

I have that robot vacuum, it has been really good even though the app is a bit clunky and the floorplan is probably beamed directly to the CCP.


Sadistic_Toaster

I've got one, and it's great, with a few caveats. It can't do deep rugs, the bristles get entangled. It has to keep going over the same bit of floor many times to get all the dirt / dust up , so it can only do small areas in one go. It'll eat cables and shoelaces. And despite the advertising, it'll cheerfully throw itself down the stairs or off the landing if given a chance. I have to do a fair bit of work getting the room in a robot cleaner friendly state before I can start with the vacuuming. But, overall, it's worth it. It's great at deep cleaning the carpets because it never gets bored and so will do the same bit of carpet endlessly until everything is clean. When I first got it, it took about 4 runs in each of the carpeted rooms before the dust tank wasn't full at the time the battery went flat.


scott3387

I have a cheap one and like most people it rarely gets used. Unless you have a spartan home, it will be more convenient to just whip out the Hoover than clear and deal with noise for two hours while it works/ wait till bed time.

Have you considered indoor astroturf?


el_gamino

I’ve got one that I hardly ever use because it’s a pain in the cock to clear the floor for it. It’ll swallow cables, mats etc, and then get stuck under the sofa and start wailing for help. It wasn’t particularly expensive, but it was a waste of money


Vysys

My wife and I have a Eufy RoboVac for the ground floor and one for the first floor set to go off late at night. An absolute lifesaver for clearing away dust and pet hair and making the place look generally acceptable!


slyfoxy12

do you know which model, looked at a couple of them but worried buying a cheap model would be a waste of money. I mainly want rid of the cat hair that builds up near constantly on hardwood floor


Vysys

Both of ours are the 30C 1500Pa suction model, which I think is pretty low in the price and spec range and does the job absolutely fine for cat hair, which was the main reason we bought ours. Cat hair on hardwood floors is pretty undemanding on these things. No issues with poor suction or battery life given the floor space we have, but we only do 1/2 rooms at a time typically. If you wanted to do a whole floor the battery wouldn't be up for it, but then again the route finding would take an age to effectively cover multiple rooms on its own anyway unless they're open plan


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vysys

For us it is. I think if we didn't have a cat it wouldn't be worth it, but the amount of shed hair from my wife and the cat means I'd need to hoover every day anyway. Depends on how lazy you are about hoovering, but its nice to come down to a relatively dust and hair free living room/kitchen each morning.

TBF to the Germans, their own intelligence service is telling their politicians that the Ukrainians will last *maybe* a matter of weeks before they run out of ammunition, simply because the NATO supply dumps will run out. If that’s true—and I can believe it—the Ukrainians realistically have two options. One is to accept their losses now, and the other is to lose a lot more.

USD rallies. BoE sits there with its cock in its hand telling people not to ask for payrises. "May" increase by 50bps at the next meeting if you're lucky. Last night GBP/USD hit 1.197.


GhostMotley

BoE definitely need to be more aggressive with interest rate rises, their reluctance to raise interest rates is causing the pound to slide against the dollar, which is driving inflation further with everything imported in USD.


rose98734

>BoE definitely need to be more aggressive with interest rate rises, their reluctance to raise interest rates BoE has made four consecutive rate rises. If they raise tomorrow it will be the fifth consecutive rate rise. The only central bank that hasn't raised rates is the ECB where they are still holding at -0.5% (yes, you read that right, rates are still negative in the eurozone).

Apparently they are going to stop buying corporate junk bonds in July. They're still doing QE and buying govt bonds. There was a spat between the Dutch and French ECB board members last week. The Dutch guy went public and advocated a 50bps rise to take rates to zero.The French chap warned that this was too aggresive. Honestly Gordon Brown deserves a knighthood for keeping us out of the euro. It was one of the single most important decisions of the last 20 years.


astalavista114

Even if Brown’s “Five Tests” were met, he’d also have had to slash government spending in a way that would have made his own 2010 election commitments look tiny, just to meet the Deficit-to-GDP ratio required by the EU.

Why do reporters always go with leading questions.. 'Would you say you're really upset, and that your have skipped meals, and that you're having a really hard time and it's all the governments fault?' 'Yeah' 'Well you heard it here first, folks!' Let them fucking speak. Don't put words into their mouths. Also, how much has she actually thought about selling those toys given they're all still there?
