Their software is the best in the industry. Even on a gigabit connection I've had issues with both Amazon Prime video and Disney plus.

Both of those platforms have issues where their servers just seem to get bored and stops sending data, like they just forgot about you And you have to refresh the page to play any more of the video. As soon as you do that it starts playing again so it's definitely not a network issue. I've had this problem on both the website and the smart TV app.

The most expensive is Amazon prime video but that's because it gets bundled with the rest of Amazon prime. Ignoring that one though Netflix is absolutely the most expensive.

My reading is that some of the ads will be generated via AI maybe to be customised to the account of the person viewing it. I suspect that won't last very long at some point it'll come up with an amusing failure and then it'll get switched off.

You don't get rid of world hunger by buying everyone a meal, it's an overly simplistic way of thinking about the problem.

Nuclear weapons are not a problem because they exist, nuclear weapons are a problem because there is a perceived need for them to exist, getting rid of the nuclear weapons doesn't get rid of the perceived need, it just means you don't have any anymore.

You do not advocate for total disarmament you advocate for gradual stepping down of reserves, because you might actually achieve that one. Trying for the impossible ideal will just guarantee failure. .

Yes but you still don't have a physical release

When I tried it it was all right, and it certainly didn't try and use APIs that don't exist (I suspect it's very language dependant), however I also wouldn't say it was particularly spectacular.

This was using gdscript to make a basic character controller. But and entire game, fat chance.

Total disarmament. The UK essentially getting rid of all our nuclear weapons, which I think we can all agree is something that would be nice to happen if everyone did it, but probably not a good idea for just us to do it, especially at the moment.

Not a practical man. An idealist makes a bad politician.

I've known people who've joined the military and they come out the other side even bigger idiots than they were when they went in, only now they have superiority complexes.

Is everyone just going to take turns at this job until they find someone who gets it right or what.

Because I would quite like to be considered for the position. I'm utterly unqualified and I don't really know what the job consists of but I also don't know any journalists so there's that.

I've run into people who insist we did it, and I believe them, but I don't remember.

That's gotta be a bit of an ego hit for them.

I guess they have to just know the area they live in.

What sort of weirdo knows where they live.

What hospitals?

Every location that we've bombed has subsequently turned out to just be a large crater. Never a hospital.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
