Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Surprised to see Natwest will still send you a chequebook, though it takes a phone call.
Huh. To be honest, I wouldn't know what to use it for. Most shops here don't accept them, and if someone paid me with one, I'd probably have to contact my bank, since they don't have any automated facilities for cashing them.
They just seem like an artifact from a bygone era.
i know right? who the fuck even takes a cheque now?
My university sends me checks occasionally, like when they overcharged the premium on my dental insurance. No idea why they can't just do an electronic transfer like for my stipend.
