Thanks for that pointer, definitely looks like a good entry point. I want to play with announcing BGP routes across to Azure VNets.

Did you document your setup or know any good resources you would be happy to recommend? This is something I'm very interested in doing, just for the fun and learning experience yet find the topic hard to get started with.

I'm on Amitriptyline for pain management. Did you do a hard stop or taper off over the two weeks?

I've been a member for around 7 years. I'm not all that sure I get the most from it, however the magazine and articles are interesting and I'm happy to support the organisation as I feel it does do good work overall. I'm

That and the fact you can speak to engineers at Microsoft will relative ease. Recently had an Azure support ticket open. The whole process was beyond my expectations to the point I'd have difficulty putting anything big anywhere else.

Dell XPS 15. Now 2 generations old but it's still faster than me. Be nice to have more than 16gb RAM but hey-ho.

I took it to mean only in that one institution. He may have been housed somewhere else for 8 years prior.

I wonder what the 'refresh-rate' is of a scan, as in how many times a second/minute/hour is the image refreshed. I doubt such a wide area could be real-time. Guessing it's enough that it's possible to track and

Completely agree. I'd like to see more governments doing this. I believe India has created generics for their internal market for expensive drugs.

Interesting thought, is it ethically sound to openly clone this drug and make a generic or is that as bad as hiking up the price?

CERN springs to mind, they have sprung a few decent spin-offs.

Looks like this is from 2013, but still a good read.

I remember when the Mir had a fire on board. They didn't tell the US crew on board until it was obvious I seem to recall (a while back now). Also, the ground crew reported all was fine, it was only when the astronauts communicated back

I've had similar arrangements too, it's nice when it's an available option.

I've commuted long distances (over an hour each way) by train and car for nearly two decades. When driving I try to get through my podcast backlog mainly on technical things, but also now more general stuff. Sometimes I miss the abilit

In the UK, I go to a doctor, get the prescription. Some doctors in rural areas have pharmacies joined on but I think the majority don't. I go to the pharmacy, hand in my prescription and pay £8.80 per item (so two boxes of the same dru

I have turned off notifications for most apps. It was just getting unbearable.

Can someone explin to me how the US prescription process works? As someone in the UK it seems quite alien.

One thing that infuriates me is when I don't get shown a Tweet from an account I follow, only to be notified that someone else 'liked' the tweet. Just show me the Tweet! I follow the account because I want to be kept up to da

You do what is best for you, I think that is what I mean. I just don't like it when people cajole others into drinking when they normally wouldn't. No one should be made to feel that they aren't normal because they don't

I still don't understand the argument, even less so with your explanation. Perhaps I'm missing something big.

I strongly disagree with this thinking and think at worst, it could be harmful. You wouldn't want your heart,brain,etc operation to be in the hands of someone who isn't that talented but keeps on trying.

Amazon isn't really a competitor to them at all it seems. You go to Amazon to get stuff you know you need. You read the HS catalog to find the stuff you didn't know you need. That's how I perceive it anyway, as an outsider to

How is this different to lots of coppers activly looking for suspects? We have so much intrusive CCTV here I can’t quite get the complaint. Was it just the introduction with lip service to community engagement?
