LFGSS and Microcosm shutting down 16th March 2025 (the day before the Online Safety Act is enforced)
Yes, this seems like somewhat an overreaction. There are parallels with HASAWA here, which the consequences for breaking are up to an unlimited fine and two years in prison... Doesn't mean that every report of dodgy H&S practices results in this outcome. It also doesn't stop accidents but people/organisations that have followed the various guidance/ACOP's don't then get prosecuted.
I think actual legal advice would be the way forward here - I'm struggling to see how legislation could be weaponised by a private citizen without seriously compromising themselves, and a prosecution requires not only dodgy content but a failure to deal with it. I can understand not wanting to be personally liable (who would) for X thousand users content though!

4 under, took a bit more thought than usual. I’m not good with this sort of long one.

I only have a metal tape measure but I’m getting between 37-39 depending on where I measure.

Anyone figured out WTF is going on with mens trouser sizing? I have uniqlo selvedge jeans that fit me decently, claiming to be a 33in waist... Can I fuck find any part of my body that measures 33in!
(Context is trying to order some cheap-ish tuxedo trousers online, as physical menswear departments seem almost non-existent unless you just want pyjamas/sportswear).

Yep. A screaming i4 to 13k is brilliant.
I've always thought the road-tuned S1000R engine would be pretty good in a conversion - relatively flat torque from 3k to 12k and as a result nice linear power delivery.

The (effective) markup for time/effort/etc is fine but many tradespeople will double dip and do all their procurement during time they're charging out a day rate.
I also suspect a lot of tradespeople have lost sight of just how expensive they are. I don't know what drives the lack of perspective but I hear a lot of chat along the lines of 'I'm cheap at £350 /day', whereas UK average PAYE is less than half that, with none of the 'tax efficiency' available to contractors.

That’s the least of their problems!

I also don’t hate it.
I remember reading something about their adverts being aimed not at people who will buy the specific car now but at people who will buy the brand when older and wealthier.
Hence advertising £80k cars in a film for teenagers. -
I’ve seen two versions of the retweet - one with her X handle and one with another, which is being shared to claim that the guardian is spreading misinformation and are being sued.
