Google "Ban the box" a scheme at least some employers including my own use. Which looks to not take into account in the early stages of the recruitment process about criminal convictions.

I am no expert on but I believe it works quite well. By allowing people in situations like yours, at least getting a chance to get a foot in the door.

Of course some roles may not be available.

Good luck in your search.


The demand in the EU and UK Cars for existing models which do not have speed limit restrictions will be healthy.

From my understanding any Newly launched models from 6th of June 2022 have to be fitted with a speed limiter.

Of course the other reasons due to a shortage of second hand models and new models manufactured recently help With ICE cars soon being banned from being sold in 2030 just eight years time.

So a well renovated, tried, tested and trusted existing model will suffice for many users. While Toyota save on R&D.

Live in the middle of nowhere or no charging point near your residence? Simply want a car which is not as "restricted"? Plenty of customers will have a refurbed non restricted ICE car, even if a 2021 model years later.

>The demand in the EU and UK Cars for existing models which do not have speed limit restrictions will be healthy.

Outside of the real enthusiasts I think most people won't care.


I read the proposal. It argues for making the accelerator "heavier" when over the speed limit. For safety (and political) reasons the driver will have full control over the throttle at all times.


They will care if they live in the 20mph zone.


I would be happy if no one could speed under my windows. Difference between 50 kmh and 30 kmh is equivalent to 50% noise reduction (~ -5 dB). And tyre noise becomes dominant just a little over 30 kmh (20 mph).

Traffic calming zones are generally highly popular with residents. Most people are smart enough to know not to shit where they eat.

Hopefully this trial 159 scheme takes off one simple number to call regardless of bank.

I mentioned to a fewer older family members and they were all for a simple number to call.


Reminds me of the “now there are 14 standards” xkcd.


Most iPhones hit the second user market whether gifted or sold on.

They have a far higher trade in or resale value than any other brand.

It actually causes a bigger second hand market of phones if they have a longer life. Plenty of users still want the latest or there abouts. While others will happily go for the nearly new.


The Android VPN app has just had wireguard added. It's not on the pc or iOS version I believe as of now


Heh, I need it in CLI, not Android. Practically the only thing I use VPN for is downloading some torrents, in a Docker container (Rtorrent). That they only now added it in Android makes me glad I left them approx 1,5 years ago.


The major concern for both parties is not just the short to mid term cost of equipment and space. It's the long term liability if the employee gets rsi or major Musculoskeletal pain or indeed eyesight issues etc.

I know our health and safety manager expects it is going to be a big issue in years to come. While he cares for human beings those around him are all for the "online training course on WFH best practices". To make the person digitally sign they watched and understood. Also known as give the employer some defence for later claims..

Offering people items from the existing offices which most people simply can't fit in their homes. But again being noted so when people complain... Same is being done by offering people to go in to office.

Those hours crouched over a laptop or sat on a seat with little support won't hurt straight away.

Plenty will on here have a nice home office and chair with good lighting. But plenty in many "office" jobs won't and can't justify.

It won't be those who had a physical job we see in older age hobbling around in the future..


CD ROMs way too high tech, I recall the day when Cassette tapes first made it on to magazines no more typing lines of code from magazines. :-)


Thank you for sharing looks good.

I often prefer to use a web based use as typically just want to learn and practice. Or indeed make try basic little projects.

So will all being well, start studying the book this week.


thanks! Shout if you get stuck with anything and I'll be happy to help out.


Agreed, a complaint is a gift can help you in so many ways. Often better than never knowing why a customer just upped and left.
