It only works if you whistle the theme tune.
But I thought LAME Ain’t an MP3 Encoder?!
Actually I never got that. WINE isn’t an emulator, but LAME very much is an MP3 encoder
Interesting, thanks for explaining!
Right, for some reason I thought it was a binary choice: close at 12 or get the (probably expensive) 24-hour licence.
Is there such a thing as a 1am or 2am licence? I feel it would be better if pubs/bars could just choose whatever opening times they want, it would prevent this “chucking-out time” phenomenon where everyone spills onto the streets with nowhere to go.

Vance faced an onslaught of bad press, as many commentators—including Harris’ step-daughter, Taylor Swift fans, Democratic officials, actor Jennifer Aniston, and several conservative women pundits—decried his comment.
My reading comprehension must be pretty bad because for a second it sounded like Taylor Swift was Kamala Harris’ step daughter.
On the flipside of this: adolescence is an extremely important part of life where we make thousands of decisions that impact the whole rest of our lives. We sit exams that determine whether or not we do higher education, and therefore what opportunities we have later in life. Teenagers can get arrested and thrown in jail, or just excluded from schools and denied the essential education that they need in later life. There are far more children in jail than are on puberty blockers. The idea that individual agency starts at 18 is a myth.
And I don’t really agree with the comparison with alcohol and smoking. Puberty blockers aren’t an indulgence or vice - for a teenager going through gender dysphoria they can be the line between life and death. Plus, let’s face it - lots of us are drinking and smoking a few years before 18.
Cool I guess we’ll all just die then.

Sounds like they’re hiding something there and they really don’t want us to go…
Again, it’s a difference of opinion about how it’s delivered, not whether it’s delivered. Can you find me a single example of someone saying they don’t want the NHS at all unless it’s 100% publicly delivered? Because that’s the imaginary person you and Wes Streeting are arguing against.
My point is that it’s not only middle-class people using private healthcare who think this. And Wes Streeting knows that. He just doesn’t want to argue for his market-based approach (because it’s really unpopular) so he just mischaracterises the opposition to it.
Nobody’s asking for worse outcomes - it’s a difference of opinion of what will actually work. Saying people want everyone to suffer so they can have their way is just being disingenuous.
Every election has a new party to essentially do what the BNP does.
2010: BNP
2015: UKIP
2017: UKIP
2019: Brexit Party
2024: Reform UK
2029: Tea Party UK?
The far-right voter base moves between these, and each of these parties tries to paint themselves as something refreshing and new. Remember when Nick Griffin went on Question Time and said his Holocaust denial was “mainly just about the numbers”? They’ve learned a bit more about dogwhistling since then.
Wanting the NHS to remain in public hands isn’t a middle-class opinion, it’s a left-wing one. The reason he uses the word “middle-class” is to characterise that argument as one that can only be made by someone in an ivory tower, insulated from the real problems of the world where we have to use private providers. And I disagree with that characterisation: I think that our use of private providers to fill gaps in the NHS has massively increased the cost and only served to enrich the private medical industry. But making that point makes me a middle-class luvvy who doesn’t know the real world, unlike Wes Streeting who has worked in student politics, think tanks and political parties his entire life (apart from that time he was at PwC as a public sector consultant, helping these companies get more of those lucrative contracts).
Yeah I don’t trust the canary at all but this sounds in line with what she’s been saying so far.
