I knew about Alan Turing's bombes, but I never realized that even back then many types of guns were already firing somewhere because that's where a computer pointed them after doing some calculations.

This post does not seem to live up to the standard of discourse you like to hold other posters to.
I mean, it was kind of funny but it was also the kind of personal attack you frame as bullying when directed at posters you agree with.

Quote from: Tamas on November 08, 2025, 02:12:25 PMThe "it's average pension in Europe" statistic, is that relative to cost of living in the country? Because in most countries I think people except to live on state pension alone, which seems basically impossible in the UK.It's not average in Europe - it's average for comparable systems (and societies).
