We desperately need electoral reform.
In a more diverse political landscape like the ones enabled by proportional representation, it’s very hard for a single party to be able to reach a majority without coalition partners.
If the Tories had to rely on coalition partners, there’s no way they’d have been able to hold a coalition together this long - they can hardly hold their own party together at this point.
Nuclear submeringue. The new season of Bake Off is getting spicy.
I’m sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a close friend is awful, especially when it’s stacked on top of other things.
While I appreciate a 60fps experience as much as the next gamer, this game targets 30fps on consoles. A 60 fps guarantee for Verified status is totally unrealistic.
I agree that there needs to be some sort of performance standards, but not everything has to run at 60 fps to give an absolutely fantastic experience. 30fps (as long as it’s a solid 30 fps) can do that too.
You’re right, I was being a little flippant.
Still, it would certainly be far more niche. While being able to ride a horse was an essential life skill a little over a hundred years ago, you might get an impressed reaction if you were to tell someone that you ride these days.
In a galaxy with replicators, who would actually still know how to cook eggs (other than Sisko’s dad)?
Hopefully you’re in a better situation now, I’m sorry to hear you’ve had to go through that.
I guess I’m fortunate that I tend to associate it with some of the worst conversations I’ve had with people on Reddit rather than anything more personal.
“We trained it on social media.”
“Why does it keep making stuff up and then getting argumentative if called out?!”
Combat! I loved that, especially with bouncy bullets.
Tell me more about Hazel’s bush…
Because it’s toxic for the type of brexiteers who objected to the EU because it meant there were more foreigners in the country. Even “worse”, these people will mostly be visible minorities.
This is a crucial constituency for the Conservative party.
Perhaps there’s a danger that, by normalising self-identification as a thief, campaigns like this might have unanticipated societal results.
I’d hate to see shoplifting/burglary/mugging stats climbing in a few years time.
Ah yes, a statement on copyright thanking someone for buying an authorised edition of Great Expectations, a book whose copyright expired in 1940 at the latest…
Nieces, nephews & godchildren.
The development cost for building it out in the new engine would probably be an order of magnitude higher than the simple upscale.
If they thought they’d get an order of magnitude more sales from doing things that way, they’d have done it that way.
I’m with you, though. I’d love a proper remaster that also came as a native PC edition.
Spreading and sharing those thoughts and memories, fragments of our selves, so that they can live on in everyone we ever interact with. People who will, in turn, spread those fragments on even further.
Even fewer will know that osteopathy is exactly the same type of nonsense. No, an osteopath is not (necessarily) a “bone doctor”.
The main confusion is that, in the US, schools of osteopathic medicine picked up enough real science that US Doctors of Osteopathy are real physicians… Even if the osteopathy part of their training is still pseudoscience.
I understand where you’re coming from, but some of the strongest communities are in rural places where public transport is unfortunately not a sustainable option.
