@peemee If a machine can get over that hurdle will it have passed the Turing test?
@phoneboy Wow, I’m detecting a pattern here. I wonder if any politicians have connections with the companies that offer these ‘services’.
@hazardwarning Well, Mark Carney did say in the future we’ll have to accept more poverty and less personal freedom. So it looks like the new aristocracy is giving us just that. And I suppose it’s just a completely random coincidence that the Get Russia geopolitical strategy is making us poorer and reducing the breadth of opinions we are allowed to consume.
@phoneboy It’s bad enough that they force you to do something against your will but they have the gall to make you pay for it?
@matigo Didn’t see anything about when they became common but early twentieth century sounds about right. Families must have done a lot of huddling before radiators were popularised. I’m glad they were invented.
I’m genuinely curious. When did radiators first became standard in working class homes?
@hazardwarning You could voluntarily go back to an eighteenth century way of life. Less things to go wrong.
@hazardwarning Ours are on all night. Our council is obviously not quite as progressive as yours.
The very wise and rational local councillors have replaced our street lights with really dull, feeble ones. About half as strong as the old ones I’d say. Because society always progresses doesn’t it? Prowlers would certainly call this progress anyway.
@jussipekonen Maybe you can have cameras or radars added later (for a painfully large fee).
