He's carting these huge fucking antlers around on a national tour just for the lamest of lame puns. He must have workshopped this "gag" and miraculously not died on his arse, for him to decide it's worth hauling the antlers around. Baffling.

And despite the extra lanes, it's still gridlocked. Maybe they need just one more lane...

Lie after lie.
Striking workers are to blame for waiting lists (they were long way before striking!).
Eliminating 2 year waits (my son is on a 4 year waiting list).
Record funding (yeah, thanks for the inflation 👍).

I don't drive but I don't rely on public transport any more - I mostly cycle or walk to where I need to get to.
I live in a suburb of a large-ish town but I have most basic amenities within a 10 minute walk - a large supermarket, schools, parks, pharmacy, smaller grocery shops (corner shops), cafe, hairdressers etc.
That's fairly common in the UK unless you live in a small town or village.

The bus services only go into the town centre and the service is spotty, so usually it's slower if you need to get to another suburb at a particular time.

My partner does drive however and as someone else said, it'd be hard to get out and about with kids without a car.

I just tested these out out of curiosity.
0=="text" returns false in PHP 8.2 as I'd expect.

The others make sense in the way that php juggles between types. An empty variable can type-juggle to null, but an array can't be directly compared with a string.

(Although you wouldn't really want to compare an array with a string, PHP just treats an array as greater than other variables. So weirdly, ([] > "") == true.)

If you're trying to directly compare different variable types in any language without strong typing, you're going to have edge-case results which you might not expect.

My "coding like a moron" message still stands. PHP isn't a strongly typed language and it doesn't tell you off for trying stupid stuff like comparing a string with an int. Nor do other languages like JavaScript.

"php doesn't stop me from coding like a moron, therefore php sucks"

The Labour members were in favour of electoral reform but the Labour leadership won't back it unfortunately, especially not whilst they're staring down the barrel of a majority government.

Blair almost backed electoral reform until he got a stonking majority.

The trick is to only use DDG and nothing else. I haven't used Google for years so I have no idea how crap the DDG results are in comparison...

A government with a big majority is essentially a 5-year dictatorship. It's the worst of both worlds - not only do they have barely any short-term accountability but no long-term planning is required either.
