Does that include Rishi Sunak's interest payments?

52% of turnout, which is 72.21% or eligible voters, which is only ~71% of the total population.

Reminder that there was never an actual majority for Brexit, let alone the hard brexit that we ended up with, and our politicians continue to pander to a minority of extremely hateful right wingers for reasons that escape the majority of the population.

Having been, he 100% brought that in. The food in all the venues has been terrible without exception, however this is still a great idea

Why even specifically mention AI? Are there already laws that cover creating a sexually explicit likeness without consent e.g. with photoshop or just painting one? If so why wouldn't those laws also cover AI and if not why wouldn't the law also wish to cover these cases?

The 3rd one is actually pretty good

Understandable, Capaldi was outstanding as the Doctor, and Smith definitely has some weaker episodes. Purely on first episode alone though I do think nothing compares to Eleventh Hour

Gotta come to bat for my boy Matt Smith, imo his first episode is the best of any in the modern era

Surely at the server side it knows the premium status of the user it is supplying the video to, so just wouldn't insert the ads? I don't see why that would need to be client side.

Not sure we saw the same movie if you think it looked cheap. Some very specific shots had some iffy CGI, and for some reason those are in the trailer, so I'm wondering if that's all you've seen?

With the exception on Boom, every episode this season seems to have a huge pacing problem. To me every single one seems to drag with very little happening, until suddenly there is a massive climax that invariably is unsatisfying and makes no sense, before the episode abruptly ends. How is this the same show that gave us complex stories like Midnight or Heaven Sent in the same amount of time?

Quick rundown:

  • Space Babies: Everyone is scared of the monster, until suddenly the monster was made by a computer error and needs to be saved
  • The Devils Chord: Jinx Monsoon is stealing all the music, until suddenly they have a ridiculous music battle, which the Doctor somehow loses, but the beatles return to play a note and the day is saved
  • 73 Yards: A great horror concept of Ruby being followed by a mysterious entity, that turns out to be herself as an old women making herself lonely for her entire life??
  • Dot and Bubble: Turns out the Dot hates humanity and is killing them off, but instead of instantly braining them all, as it is clearly capable of, it creates giant slugs to eat them? And the people don't want to be saved?

I genuinely think a lot of the themes and concepts in this series are very good, but the scripts need to be tightened up, instead of juggling so many metaphors and societal commentaries in each episode.

I actually liked this one more than I thought I would from the trailer, but once again the resolution just leaves me confused and unsatisfied.
