Also, easier to share a bath without one person having their head squashed to side of tap. If you put on hot water, you're not getting the pain as it runs on to your feet. This is an innovation.

Many baths here in the UK have it in the corner against the wall.

Looks like contributor is busy with work. Always the risk with open source. If things aren't raised in a reasonable manner, I can imagine the temptation is to follow it up with a middle finger.

Many seemed to care about it enough to bash it, but not enough to create and maintain a fork. They just want to boss it over the maintainer.

Well it doesn't matter if it exports the surplus to other states and cuts their fossil fuel usage. It means that 100% of that renewable energy was cut from fossil fuels.

There is always a need to smooth out troughs. That can be through, selling, shifting demand (cheaper tarrifs during surplus), storage or as a last resort bridging gaps with other fuels.

Let's not let perfect get in the way of good. Every tonne of CO2 out the air gives us more time and a little more chance for at risk countries to stay above water.

This needs to be a statement that fixing up your mistakes rather than abandoning is what earns respect. Well done Hello Games. A great game, getting better by the day.

Sorry to hear this.

Stage 2 means it is still localised, right? It may have been found in time and is treatable.

I don't know about your uncles cancer or what stage it was but not all cancers are the same and some are very treatable. In one type of cancer, survival after 5 years is 99% for stage 1, 95% for stage 2, 50-6i% for stage 3 etc. Stage 2 can be a very winnable battle. Even stage 3 can be a worthwhile battle.

You may be avoiding a very winnable battle in which you can have a long and enjoyable life after some short term discomfort. Some cancers can he treated in a localised manner with radiotherapy rather than chemo.

I implore you to verify what the treatment options are and success rates before making a hasty and final decision.

A relative of mine came back from stage 2 doing pretty well and is pretty happy after a year of treatment. Some of it obviously a little challengeing, but they have no regrets.

Since that whole telemetry debacle, I have no interest in this project. Tenacity is where it is at.

Isn't it punishment enough having to use Azure? It's worse than having to use Google Cloud...

As much as I want this to happen, I fear it'll drag on for years and then never happen or end up watered down where they split the company and manage them independently (a bit like BT in the UK but still owned by Alphabet.

Could you elaborate what you mean by that?

Analysis from the BBC (who are usually quite motivated and effective at justifying Israel actions).

The sheer devastation is incredible. 66% of buildings damaged. 90% of the population displaced. Water and sanitation systems non-functional. 53/500 needed lorries entering the territory per day (down from 142). They're not even trying to look they're helping now. The population have been squeezed into over-populated tent cities.

It feels like they think if they create the conditions for disease and it kills people, they don't get blamed.

To me, it's hard to think of a way this could get closer to genocide. Absolutely sick.

Israel seem to be galvanised by inaction of the world and probably looking to do the same in Lebanon. Is Yemen after? Where does this stop?

We can debate this all day long but we all know torque is cheap.

UK citizen here. Already had 3 women prime ministers.

It wasn't that Hilary was a woman, simply she was more dislikable than Liz Truss and seemed to put nothing out to convince people to vote for her. It wasn't clear at all what she stood for or what her platform was.

It came across as entitled and like she took the electorate for granted. No matter how great or good you think you are, or how bad your rival is, you still have to ask the electorate to lend you their vote.

"She told the Sunday Telegraph extra money for public services would have to come from economic growth."

So no money for public service improvements. They are saying they will do no different to the Tories. So they are happy with the state of almost collapse in the NHS and people waiting on trollies in corridors in winter.

Celebrating this and that they are getting backed by big business. If you are paid and your decisions are based on that, isn't that corruption. Celebrating being corrupt? How is this attractive to anyone, left or right?
