  • Arguably labour is intrinsically linked to the body providing the labour BUT selling does suggest handing over property on a more permanent basis. Would you be happier with SpaceNoodle saying they leased their body, given they committed to a set time period that their body could be used for their employer’s (lessor’s) purposes?


  • Prison systems around the world, and particularly those in America, routinely strip people of everything they earn and put them in dark holes for significantly less. The people doing these things know what they are doing and continue to do it without working to correct the issues. Torturing animals in a regulated test setting is well beyond carrying some weed or the mistake of being black and in the wrong place.

    I’m all for rehabilitation, but how do you rehabilitate people who have decided torturing animals for extended periods of time is okay?

    If you are more efficient then you probably need to work at hiding that from your employer and finding a way to spend the hours you save doing something beneficial for yourself. You employer pays you for a certain amount of output per hour, if you can do 8 hours of expected output in 1 then that’s your business.







  • I don’t think it’s that suitable alternatives that could make a lot of headway into limiting the problem dont exist, it’s more that a lot of people are making a lot of money from the status quo and have a vested interest in ensuring the status quo remains. You can bet your bottom dollar that if those people had found a way to continue the gravy train with the alternatives then they would. Eventually they are going to have to consider that if society collapses due to their actions that the currency they are accumulating will be worthless without the societies that dictate its value. I don’t think that will happen until we start seeing some of the climate change chickens come home to roost. It’s going to be unpleasant for a lot of people and might be too late.





  • If the number of electrocutions per capita are the same then it’s clear the fuse is doing nothing. The only reason to keep it is if you don’t trust your domestic network, specifically the protection systems provided. If they are to code then why waste your manufactures time, and the time and space of your users continuing to require them.

    My argument isn’t born from patriotism, it’s frustratration at years of having to use an inferior product only to have someone claim it’s not only great but the best. Well, it’s not the best, far from it, but at the end of the day I don’t think I’ll ever live in the UK again so shrug have fun with your garbage connectors =)


  • Thanks for posting this, but I have some notes.

    His first point is nonsense. The holes are big enough for a screw driver full stop. If I have two screw drivers then I can shock myself. Not only that, its a guaranteed shock because I’m now making a perfect path to earth. Simple fix: dont make the holes big enough for screw drivers. UK plugs are even worse than yankee plugs for this. Aussie plugs fix this problem.

    Aussie plugs cover the second problem. The letter nonsense is nonsense. The fuse is dumb, as above, FIX YOUR DAMN HOUSE WIRING. The last bit about your plug falling apart is classic British ideology, stop building things that fall apart.

    Its clearly better than EU or yankee plugs, but thats not a great selling point when its still garbage.
