   From the examples it seems that every time you run it, it clones a voice from the samples folder. Is there any way to compile this so it doesn't happen every time? Sorry if I'm missing the point.

   English gets to use a sentence. It can be reworded any number of ways. I did a bit of quick googling and the clearest English I came up with for `Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000` is "Requirements for the Labelling of Minced Beef&quot

   That simply will never happen. As outspoken as EU countries are, they are not inclined to act beyond the diplomatic equivalent of a strongly worded email. It's a fantasy to think that any single EU nation would risk a shooting war with

    This is stunning, and I adore it. I had an idea to build a game set on a tiny planet but I never even started, and here you have created something that's awe-inspiring. keep it up!

    I never got a pi 400 or 500, but this one looks interesting. basically an RGB LED mechanical keyboard but with a 16GB pi 5 inside, and a 256GB SSD

    Ok I had heard of it happening in the UK but now I can't find any evidence of such, apart from a just approved scheme to treat wastewater and pump it into the Thames upstream, which is then used to source drinking water in London. So i

    Ok, its maybe more expensive than I realised according to that source, but I would argue that comparing it to something like charging EVs or running a fridge is not a fair comparison. If you desalinate 1000 litres of water it's not the

    Sorry I upvoted before I thought about the consequences. Please don't read this.

    Desalination is cheap though. It's just never really been needed at scale in the UK because of rainfall. Maybe it's time to reassess

    I'm disappointed by how expensive these things still are. Smartphone size eink panels are so cheap that every supermarket has thousands of them as price display panels. but try and find epaper bigger than 10" and you'll be pa

    Ok I'm not a physicist but surely long term storage of pictures and emails does not actively generate heat in a data-center? Encouraging people to log on and delete old pics and emails is only going to create more heat as servers have

    I have an old copy of office 2003 I still use, it's lightning quick on even ten year old hardware. It literally starts in under 1 second. It needs a plugin to open and save docx but it works well. I don't know if there's some

    I wouldn't presume to understand the bananas ideas of Trump and his kindergarten kronies, but I imagine they're looking at an inaccurately large landmass on a mercator projection map and hearing about the oil underneath and seeing
