Re: Minimum wage = not very good
Maharashtra is also very popular and even cheaper, about ₹55 per hour, which is less than $1.

Re: It's all been delayed again (probably NSFW)
Or more likely that Parliament is in a complete state of paralysis at the moment and facing its biggest constitutional crisis ever, even worse than the Oliver Cromwell era, so porn laws are just not a priority right now.
As an example, they’ve been without a Minister for Disabled People for two weeks now with no immediate signs that they are going to appoint anyone.

Re: Using your credit card to prove your age and/or ID on a porn website
Yes. If you look in the gift cards section in big supermarkets, alongside the iTunes cards, Amazon cards and so on, you will usually see prepaid Visa and Mastercards. Typically they will cost £5 plus whatever credit you get on it, eg a £25 card will cost £30, whereas the ones that are restricted to a single store will cost the face vale of the card.

Re: Pushing the boulder up the hill
Another problem, particularly relevant to me right now, is that it seems to be designed for individuals. Suppose you are a company with a chain of shops around the country, and you need to set up a payment run for all the council tax payments that are due on 1st April. Right now we are still having to contact all the store managers to tell them to look out for the council tax bill and scan/email it to us. Then when we receive it, we tick it off on an Excel list. And of course some shops have two bills because it is two buildings with the wall knocked through to make a bigger shop. And some get a separate bill for the Buisiness Improvement District.

Re: Quote from Saint Jobs himself
You don't need a stylus in order to operate an iPad, unlike touch screen devices running Windows CE and Windows ME back in the day, however if you want to draw pictures on your iPad, then a stylus might give you better results than your fingers, but you can use your fingers if that is the style you are looking for.

Re: Apparently
I changed mine about 6 years ago because I moved from a rented house to one that I bought, and I wanted one in a different colour that matched the kitchen decor and other appliances.
I also replaced the microwave for one that has a combination oven/grill, and I actually use that a lot more than the microwave function. Works exactly the same, put it on for the appropriate number of minutes and it beeps when it’s done, but for a higher number of minutes. That cost me about £70 in Sainsburys, who didn’t try to sell me insurance.
The kettle, I’ve had for about 15 years, still works but it does look its age, and I’ll probably replace at some point.

Re: Apparently
'According to a spokesman "it's a different company now"'
It is now Dixons Retail Group aka Currys PC World. A company known for its very enthusiastic selling of Coverplans.
Like for example a £15 Coverplan on a £20 toaster. If a £20 toaster breaks, you don't think about whether or not you have an insurance policy you can claim on, you throw it in the bin and get a new one.

Nobody knows. There's also the issue of what happens to import tax on food. Do we charge WTO rates on everything, good news for farmers, not so good for shoppers. Or do we unilaterally remove the tax in which case we have to do it for food from anywhere in the world. Lots of cheap hormone-fed chlorinated chicken in the shops, not very good for farmers.

How the **** are you supposed to "prepare for Brexit", when, with 17 days to go, nobody has the slightest clue what to prepare for.
I like to criticise government IT contractors as much as anyone else here, but even the most perfect IT developers imaginable can't get the system ready without knowing what it is supposed to do.

Re: English, bad English and AInglish
If you understand the non-native speaker's native language, then you will usually understand why they made the mistakes they made.
For example, if I have garbled English from an Italian, then I will do a literal translation of the word / phrase back into Italian, and look at what they really mean. For example: Secondary Seat -> Sede Secondaria -> Branch Office
An AI bot speaking in garbled English probably isn't doing a literal translation of something that makes perfect sense in another language, so that is how you would tell the difference.
