It seems like they are not required but actively encouraged not to have

I switched from keepass to vaultwarden (self hosted bitwarden) and am glad I tried it out as am finding it so much better on all my devices. I definitely recommend giving it a try if you're just looking to tinker with things
Just wanted to point out you don't get 12 months paid maternity leave in the UK. Leave and pay have completely different rules so you have to think of them separately, even though they are intrinsically linked.
You are entitled to 12 months maternity leave, and in fact by law have to take the first 2 weeks (or 4 weeks for a factory worker) for health reasons. This is great but lots of women don't take the full 12 months time because the last few months would often be unpaid so is not the main factor.
Statutory maternity pay, which is what you are guaranteed and what the government pays the company, is 90% of your average earnings for the first 6 weeks, then it is the lower of £172.48 or 90% of your average earnings, for the next 33 weeks. Notice thats not 52 weeks in total! The average is also based on a certain time before you know you're pregnantso my wife got a bit screwed because of taking time off when changing job.
A lot of employers offer full paid maternity leave but it tends to be already better paying jobs or civil service jobs, and it's for 6 or 9 months. Then it's a reduced rate or even unpaid for last few months. There's also some caveats like having to work there for a full year before getting full pay, depends on seniority etc, because it is down to company policy rather than legally required.
Paternity leave is up to 2 weeks leave but statutory pay is the lower of £172.48 or 90% of your average earnings. Again, better employers offer full pay for 2 weeks or more.
They introduced shared parental leave afew years ago but most people only saw the headline and didn't realise you have to split out the pay, which is the lower of the two statutory amounts above. Good employers offer full pay for a few weeks but is very varied, even in "better" jobs. I wanted to take more shared parental leave time but would have to sacrifice my full pay to get it so could not afford it. My company at the time (well paid head office role at one of the largest banks in the UK) did not offer full pay for shared parental leave that is over paternity leave.
Most voters think its great because it works for them but actually there's a lot of inequality/capitalism in it, and therfore much room for improvement.
Yes, it's better than federally in America, and pregnancy/labour itself is completely free on the NHS so no costs on top but we should strive to be better, especially compared to a lot of continental European countries.
Our rules might be a good step up for you, especially as they're in quite a capitalist society, but it should not be the end goal by any means!
It's at temporary lights for roadworks, usually when a lane is closed. You need to know where to stop, which might be further back so incoming traffic can get past you
It might be illegal but its pretty much unenforceable. The ICO, who would be responsible, say this: It is difficult to enforce these rules, as it is not easy to find out if the person acts on a request to delete footage. We wouldn’t find it a fair or balanced action to go into a person’s home to find out if they were complying with the law or take other enforcement action. https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/domestic-cctv-systems/ They say the police are unlikely to take action unless you're doing something pretty horrible like recording children somehow.
We have one on our front door. It does gave the street but have set the motion detection so you'd have to be on the driveway for it to record and save. It's arlo so deletes after 30 days or something.
I would say it should be set so you're not recording your neighbours house or garden. That would be annoying. It's easy enough to angle downwards or away.
I believe this is illegal if its in the UK. The EU introduced regulations a few years ago banning fees for credit card payments. As a consumer it was great because lots of businesses were taking the mick charging more than they have to pay but knew people really prefer credit cards. I think this method of trying to get around that is in fact illegal because you are effectively charging more for credit card payments.
Didn't various countries massively fund these vaccine programs? I'm hoping the vaccine price is marginally above the actual cost of making them but something tells me probably not...
You don't have to make an account to pay this one but you can do to setup autopay: https://www.gov.uk/pay-dartford-crossing-charge.
We don't have many tolls at all in the UK. For motorways there's this one and the M6 toll (more of an alternative route which can be avoided easily) which has toll booths (automated machines on exit). Others are usually bridges or tunnels and one account is unlikely to cover many but you're unlikely to cross more than one toll regularly. https://www.gov.uk/uk-toll-roads
The new slightly similar annoyance is airports. They used to be free for drop off but now charge around £6, and you have to go online and pay within 24 hours similar to this one. They offer free parking at long stay to tick a box but you have to get the bus to the terminal and they make it as inconvenient as possible so is not used much. Absolute rip off merchants and only helps the non-UK based private owners make money...
Potentially controversial opinions:
A. We don't need to drink to enjoy the match. We've already had 6 England games quite early in the day without the need.
B. The government, with a bit of foresight and any degree of competence, could have legislated for this exemption given they control parliament and therefore hold ultimate power, at least for England maybe.
C. Of course, it's the lefty councils fault for not doing day PrOpEr PeOpLe want!?!?!
I bought a new phone after having the old one for 3 years and as a treat to myself. It was an S22 Ultra. I regret buying it as the improvements are very minor compared to my old phone, and definitely not worth the massive hike in cost.
The camera is better but tbh, I barely notice it as its mostly a few photos for memories. I'm not printing them on canvas or anything so no point really having such high quality photos. Will definitely hold onto this one for as long as i can
Penalties!!!
I imported my keepass database into vaultwarden with no issues
