I wouldn’t worry about it, Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower screwed Europe before and after the war hard enough it was almost as bad as losing so I wouldn’t worry about it. The French never cared and were still sore about sitting out WW1, the Germans were divided until the wall fell and still remembered having to eat…

To be fair I think Pinewood and the other UK studios are pretty much fully booked and always have been since WWII and it’s gotten to the point that since Star Wars they’ve more and more picked up big blockbusters for the UK. In part that’s why in addition to the fact there are a lot of good classical dramatic…

Epic have their own game store on PC and MS don’t restrict access to the OS in any way so you can install what you want. MS only not long ago got its first ever integrated app store, almost nobody uses it.

Try a new Samsung, they are basically Android refined to iphone levels of integration and ease of use.

Maybe, but trapping and growing has always been more energy efficient as opposed to hunting and they all depend on land access of course. And cycling through it while training is still expensive, I love going to the range, but it is literally burning money. There’s a good reason I still shoot .22 a fair bit, and not…

Why don’t we just let the market decide. If people weren’t okay with him being there I’m sure he would have found out pretty quick in a 100 person venue.

So a few points:

1. GRRM can’t pronounce the names of the main characters in his own books consistently. Literally the source of almost all his income and he can’t say them. I doubt he got paid anything close to market rate for doing the job, everything I’ve seen is that it was basically a favor, and it isn’t his main job, frankly in…

GRRM can’t pronounce the names of the characters he wrote himself! He literally made the names up himself and they are responsible for the majority if his income, and he can’t pronounce them consistently.

While I generally agree with the tone as this article is rubbish. Just to fact check if you take everything above an INES 5 event there have been 7 events(6 if you discount a theft).

Can I just say that someone that works in the Energy industry(mostly renewable in the past) and has been deeply involved in both the waste question and fusion(including very tangentially ITER): this article is awful, preachy, badly researched and full of emotive opinions with a poor evidence base.

Absolutely, I totally excuse people for things that were not abnormal to them, the product of circumstance or mental illness. If you teach a child from birth that red is actually green and then send them out into the world, is it their fault if they think green is always red. You can effectively guarantee that the…

He would have had to have learned the name of every single nominee, he had minutes of notice between the winner and the announcement. That’s on the organizers who did not put phonetic pronunciations on the cards, which is reasonable for the host to expect. He wasn’t the original host from what I read and he seems to…

As far as I can see GPM already has all the features, they added youtube integration to it years ago.

Mispronunciation is not a microaggression unless you know what the name is supposed to be pronounced as. Most people in the world, including a huge(quite like majority) of English speakers in the world have names that aren’t readily pronounceable by the average English speaker. Hell even in the UK where the language…

I have youtube premium so I’m payment wise agnostic, but I will be ditching google for music in all liklihood. I’ve been a GPM user for years, and youtube music just doesn’t do it for me. I don’t get why they didn’t just change the name of GMP to youtube music and leave it at that, it isn’t like you can’t already…

A coast guard cutter and some Marines in fast boats surely would have provided sufficient discouragement. Legally you can’t stop them perhaps, you can make it really difficult for them to get close and you can make their life difficult if they try i.e. inspection and boarding.

Neither of those statements are true.

Why do I need to evolve? I’m fundamentally against Slavery and Racism, that doesn’t mean I’m not also against ignorance of history. How can you learn lessons from history if you forget them.

Always feel better with facts and pointing out that comparing the US and UK in that regard isn’t entirely fair.
