It’s worth saying that Kobo works flawlessly with Calibre and is totally agnostic to formats so you can load up anything you want and it just works. I’ve never actually used a store on an ereader, and I’ve been using ereaders since the early Sony PRS readers, which I would still be using if Sony actually did software…

Other watches at this price? You aren’t getting a lot of perpetual callendars on dive watches by most and complex movements tend to be a lot more expensive.

He’s the majority shareholder, pay for him is largely irrelevent so why would that make any difference at all. He “lost” billions in a stupid idea he had, that’s literally money that was in his pocket because he’s the majority and controlling shareholder.

Short haul aviation is terrible for the environment and its costs are a lot more hidden, with rail all the costs are much more directly baked in i.e. your environmental impact is priced in far more significantly.

It’s a good point, that being said there’s also a fair point about if high speed rail is actually viable. Most of the systems being built for it now have serious issues around cost and delivery even where its being done. The UKs HS2 slowed to an expensive crawl or the disaster that is Chinese high speed that could…

I’ve been going through the backlog on the deck and had a great time with my now fairly regular dive back into NMS. I also had a huge amount of fun with Brutal Legend, its not a long game, but its got a great soundtrack and while a bit dated in places its pretty funny and easy to just mindlessly enjoy while rocking…

There is a certain comfort in the clarity between good and bad, that being said I’m actually less enamoured of it these days given moral ambiguity isn’t in vogue in real life and people just go full on evil in public life.

I’m liking it better than House of the Dragon, which isn’t bad, but Rings of Power is pretty good so far and being pretty good about setting up some interesting stories. Pretty hard when everyone actually knows a lot of the major set pieces of the story well in advance.

Animals are part of the local ecosystems in which they live, and they can play really significant roles in the environment and how they are able to function. Some of the most damaging things humans have done to environments is habitat destruction that exacerbates the ability for the environment to cope with climate…

Not all climates are getting hotter, that’s why we don’t really use the term global warming very much anymore as its not really accurate. There are certain behavioural aspects linked with the climate change of the time that caused them to go extinct that wouldn’t strictly reoccur. And hybridised they’re likely to be…

How can you tell the social class of a 17 year old from Oxfordshire one of the wealthiest places on the planet.

The City doesn’t exist as a nation within the Union and is still bound by its laws, it has a few baked in not standard features for a local authority, but they aren’t out of the scope of UK law and regulation and they don’t have anything other areas can’t have or do have in different mixes through devolution or…

Its not a loophole that allows rich people to do whatever they want and not pay tax, its a loophole that allows you to donate to charities, the government controls what is and isn’t a charity. If something is not an equivalent public good as compared to taxation then it shouldn’t be a charity, what you are complaining…

On one side supporting hate is bad, on the other keeping a properly open internet and letting the trolls and hateful idiots out themselves is good.

There is a purpose for them, but when you need them there are specially designed versions like the commando plug that protect you from the live ends in a far better fashion. You can also simply rewire most things to have the right connectors and use things like C19 connectors with the male on the recieving end in a…

If you are paying attention to what you are doing surely you would just buy the correct thing in the first place for the set up rather than saving a tiny amount on a suicide cable?

Not many Americans can pull off an accent that well.

Well if they can’t do it you kind of need to know at the start so it can be recast, also just to point out its not technically underage where the show is shot given the consent age is 16. 

It’s true she had no political power, but what are you saying the British Government and by proxy its electorate has done to be blamed for?

To be fair its the correct use of the world, people are total idiots for thinking auto-pilot means that and its not even justified really. We literally just had a whole family crash into the baltic because of an aircraft auto-pilot combined with a pressure loss and we get several a year.
