For all the time I've been told how bad BMI is, and how it classes top athletes as obese, I can't help but notice how few of those people have the body of a top athlete.

Seems a lot considering you can get 2TB drives for just over £100.

If my wife bought a cute dress and only wore it once, I'd be annoyed af.

"Fast fashion" is a plague of waste. Wear your shit until it falls apart.

Yeah, you can block that at any point though.

I don't think cigarettes being out of view lead to their decrease, nor all the warnings or pictures of diseases. It's more that they cost about £15 a pack. Honestly feels like weed has already overtaken cigarettes.

I know they mean well, and disposables are spectacularly wasteful, but I can also see the appeal of a cheap, no maintenance, no mess, no faff vape.

And from a purely selfish point of view, I'd rather smell Fruit Salad smelling vapes everywhere than cigarettes or more bloody weed.

Yeah, good luck with that. Nobody is regulating any of it so the rules might as well be advisory only.

Seemingly every dodgy corner shop sells high strength disposable vapes already, so I don't know why they'd stop because of this...

Set stringent standards.

Set maximum bill rises.

Renationalise them without compensation if they fail to oblige.

There is no point in them even being privatised. I can't choose my water provider like I can with internet, electricity, gas, etc. It serves no benefit to us.

It needs to either become a generic commodity like a TV, or it will die.

We can't have this fragmented system. Imagine if you needed a Sony TV for PS, one for Xbox, one for PC, a standalone one that could run it's own exclusive content...

It's good tech, and the immersion is unparalleled, but greedy company are going to burn it to the ground it so they can rule the ashes.

It's fucking madness that you can't even use it to watch 3D movies on Netflix etc. There needs to be a generic box that accepts USB or HDMI input from all devices so you can at least use it for things other than gaming, even if it just puts it all in a big virtual screen.

You don't deserve the kind of generals Hitler had. That's why you have JD Vance and Elon Musk.
