    [Technology] Screen time for kids - bending the rules

    I've heard that kids are getting around time restrictions by changing the time zone of the phone. With Android they can opt out of parental control altogether when they turn 13...

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    Interesting, so talking about culture is effectively being used by some as a disguise for their racism, and also rather inconvenient for everyone else as anyone who genuinely wants to talk about situations where different cultures are incompatible is automatically in danger of being labelled a...

    I agree with all that, a willingness to embrace the things that attracted you to the country you are moving to are essential to successful integration, and being made welcome.

    You seem to be suggesting that a culture can only be associated with a race? I don't think that is true at all, as lots of things have cultures that aren't bound to any race - religious culture, football culture, national culture, corporate culture - you could go on and on.

    Jenrick is a populist opportunist, but I think that person was wrong to describe his tweet as a racist diatribe (presumably because he mentioned Pakistani men). It was just blatant click bait. Mass legal immigration, the introduction of cultural diversity (and geographic division of those...

    The US system of healthcare is ridiculous, once you look into how the financial transactions work it becomes obvious that the same system would be unacceptable to the British public.

    Musk's public persona is really quite odious to me. Lot's of parents disagree with their child's lifestyle choices, but banging on about it public using language that nobody can quite pin down to having a specific meaning is just wrong.

    [Politics] Is democracy in crisis?

    Adolescents brains are not the same as an adults, and they aren't particularly good at decision making (neither are some adults! People's brains mature at different rates, males tend to be later - probably why the voting age used to be 21), I'd be very cautious about allowing them to vote given...

    I stumbled upon this interesting video about the price cap today, which seems to concur with what you say. The gist of it is that we'd be paying less if pricing wasn't structured around the cost of gas production, which would be at the expense of the current artificially inflated profitability...

    [Albion] Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    We need a pivot who can drop deep to release the wingers, it is no coincidence that we've not performed as well since Welbeck has been injured.

    [Albion] During which match, in which season, did BHAFC field the greatest EVER Albion XI?

    Five players in the current top three of the Premier League. Thread closed.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace *** Official Match Thread ***

    No, but his absence highlights how good his linkup play in transition is. We're lacking someone to play that role when he isn't there, and are less threatening as a result.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace *** Official Match Thread ***

    I can't recall a ref not stopping play and giving a drop ball after directly interfering with play before. That was odd. Doesn't excuse the defending though.

    [Politics] Are Labour going to turn this country around?

    Population growth is the issue you say, I wonder what is behind that... Anyway, enough with the blatant trolling on my part, I think another issue is potentially how we use the housing stock has changed. Has there really been a significant shift away from multi-person occupancy towards...

    Apologies for any confusion, that is certainly not my intention. I'm not going to get drawn into comparing the ineptitudes of previous governments in comparison to this one, as I'm more interested in pragmatic solutions to the current situation (how to reduce dependency on fossil fuels as a...

    Yes, hence my interest. We hit the £1/kwh price ceiling between 4pm and 6.30pm today, having run close yesterday. I've been charging the battery from about 2am when the price is about 20p/kWh. I was absolutely livid with Mrs Orange earlier when she overfilled the kettle and caused us to start...

    The problem is that the policy doesn't properly recognise that the focus on wind and solar doesn't address the gap in electricity supply that appears on days like today, and yesterday, and tomorrow, and probably the day after that, when those specific renewables don't contribute in any...
