There's a minimum temperature for indoor work in Britain, but no maximum. The minimum for sedentary work used to be 17°C, but they reduced it to 16°C during the last government. Notably, it hasn't been increased again under the current one. (For active indoor work, it's 13°C. Outdoor work has no limits otherwise the country would be even less functional in extreme weather than it already is.)

Brian almost definitely slept with Marsha. As best as I remember from subtext and possibly the DVD extras, he was behind on rent, and Marsha made an indecent proposal. Add that to the fact that he's hung like a horse and you understand why Marsha might retain some interest.

Also, Tim and Daisy do eventually get together, but officially only after the series ends. Tyres saw what was going on a lot sooner than that though.

Finally, there's the potential that Mike might actually have more than a man-crush on Tim. They have a bromance, sure, but there might be other things going on in Mike's head that Tim is completely oblivious to.

Yoti is British. I get you were talking about Sony, but I wouldn't want people to get the impression that this is a strictly Japanese thing.

Zelenskyy would have to be foolish to expect anything else at this point, so this had to have been for another reason. Possibly to prove that Putin remains a terrible person and to keep the conflict in the news.

Oh. Well that's much better.

I don't remember seeing it in my distro's package manager previously, but I have a feeling I might have rejected it for being a Qt app. By default their look and feel doesn't match my window manager choices, and my distro hasn't ever handled that automatically, so I may have decided I didn't like the look of it.

Now I'm aware of qt5ct (changes some of the look and feel of Qt5 apps) so that's not as much of a problem any more.

They generally share quite a bit of policy with the conservative party though. And where there are politicians changing parties in order to follow the gravy train (rather than the party itself moving right), it's often from a conservative party to an up-and-coming even-further-right party.

Basically, love of money and sticking the boot in to those who don't have it.

Only in America

Sadly this part isn't true. If you want to find a hateful regressive, you only need to look to the right-wing parties in many countries. Sure, there are a few regressives in the fringe left-wing parties too, but the political right has a far more mainstream problem, worldwide.

And it seems like a handful of the party faithful might be waking up to that fact.

~~Rupert Murdoch.~~

Edit: I see the title has been edited and so Murdoch doesn't count (and it was a stretch given the qualifiers in the post text anyway.)

The chaotic evil way to win this argument is to send the "water" person to prove it.

You might lose or badly maim a (soon-to-be-former) friend and burn your house down, but you'll still win.

Sometimes they deliberately change it up to deny expectations though. Occasionally it's "Doctor what?!"

Also, at one point, a major antagonist outright lampshades the whole thing and claims The Doctor named themselves that way precisely so that conversation would always happen.

The Doctor's use of question marks in the(ir) past certainly lend weight to the argument, but on the other hand, the antagonist in question will say or do literally anything if it they think it will help them achieve their goal.

White lies. Outright genocide. Anything in between. So we have to take what they say under advisement.

[Data] doesn't have emotions

I wouldn't be so sure. Without the emotion chip that he obtains later, he's programmed to think he doesn't have them, and will thus deny he has any, but a lot of his responses, programmed, learned, or otherwise, are analogous to, if not actually emotions. Muted though they may be, and whether Troi can detect them or not.

For example, there's one episode where his latent gut instinct literally forces him to comment that he wishes he had one, caused by the impasse of having that response and being prevented from acknowledging it.

It might be the same episode where he catches himself drumming his fingers nervously because something is bothering him, and he registers surprise (another emotion) at that fact.

I reckon it's the same programming that prevents him from using contractions in speech, and might go some way to explain the "mistakes" where it sounds like he's contracting words anyway.

I would have recommended WinDirStat myself. I never did like the pie chart style views in programs like Filelight and Baobab.

(I use Graphical Disk Map on Linux. Not quite as full featured as WinDirStat but works in a pinch.)
