Hardly surprising, didn't it come out a year or so ago, that the US was spying on France, despite being a fellow NATO ally?

What is singularity, sorry I am from England, we use English not this sort of jibberish. It is worst then 'unscheduled rapid disassembly' which Musks lot used to descript the fact the rocket blew up.

If they are anything like the self service at lidl, they work on weight, too, they complain if you even put a bag in the wrong place.

8 self service tills at £land and 2 normal tills. All 8 were closed.

@vfrmedia

II am not sure what the reason is, but they have been closed at 8:45 ish, but then opened up later in the day. Hopefully they can get it sorted if technical or sorted out if a policy issue.

I think quite a few employers see people who have a good portfolio as a threat, as they are worried we will see and report concerns (esp in schools). The PoundLand staff can open the tills, they just seem to do so at certain times. As I said they are on, so surely not drawing any more power than they are when the screen is opened up for use. (staff press button and type in a code thingy).

It is just a pain, on a Saturday morning, when I want to drop in before heading to set up for a club at the library or en route to a work assignment, pick up a few things, pay and head off, quickly without having to wait in a queue or behind someone with a shipping order (lots of items) and messing around with cash.

No idea what Poundland are up to, I went in earlier to find a long queue, walking round noticed the self service till were all closed, now they are switched on (and clearly drawing power) but display lane closed.

This was at 11:15 this morning, totally rediculous in 2023. I know the staffed tills provides jobs, but so does supervising the self service tills and sorting out problems quickly.

Sometimes people need to go in, pick up products, take to a till, pay for goods and get out quickly, self service tills are ideal if you have normal non age restricted products.

Just open the bloody self service tills.

Can I ask which country this relates to please, as we have different laws in the UK, for Scotland and England, reference to the crown implies this is somewhere in the UK.

This act may apply to the whole of the UK. I know from a friend from Scotland that contract law is different, in Scotland, if I understand things, a verbal agreement is legally binding.

@timnitGebru

This sort of reminds me of the episode of Keeping up appearances (uk sitcom) where emmet says in relation to singing that it is not the voice that is the problen, it is the person controlling the voice, so taking aim at Hyacynth Bucket.

So I am with you on this, AI isn't the problem it is the people who are currently in charge of it all, they have alrady proven to be unfit for purpose in many cases.

@toplesstopics

If people want to go topless then why not, it is not like seeing a persons breasts is offensive or even sexual in most cases.

Given breasts are also all shapes and sizes, then people need to learn this, we are already finding boys have a very misguided idea of what breasts look like from looking at porn, perhaps if people were allowed to be topless (or even naked) we will start to show more respect to each other, be less body concious of every blemish, less sexist misogamy etc, we should stop being so obsessed with how others look and take more interest in people as people and personality.

It may go a long way to ending the mental health crisis we are in with regard to how we look.

I doubt very much that this would cause the akward erections either, as it would be so normal to see breasts anyway that it would not.

I am sure pubecent boys would not end up with erections and bulging eyes (as in staring rudely) if nudity / toplessness was normalised as non sexual.

People need to start to separate sex and nudity for the benefit of everyone.

Since been released without charge, as per other two arrested under similar charges. While the police are busy with this, how many real crimes are not being investigated and how much is all this costing the Scottish taxpayer?
