Of course there's also the issue of whether your cable is suitable and your charger suitable too. We appear to have taken a good idea and made it shit very quickly.

Well steamed water was a rabbit hole. Although surely you would need to make the steam from steamed steam for optimal results?

I don't get the down voters, it is, or should be a tool. Although we are talking about it being an issue. Which you have already covered. Problem is, most people don't spend that much time thinking about it. So I suspect "don

But what is 'luxury'? You may have in mind a Rolls Royce. But maybe he doesn't want that. If they've been frugal their entire life, they aren't as far along the hedonistic treadmill, a new reliable car is a luxury.

I would? Would an emoji count as plain text? What about right to left text? I have no idea how many editors handle that.

He has a YouTube channel, there's a talk on there. He also discusses code pages etc. I don't think the thesis is wrong. Eg when I think plain text I think ASCII, so we're already disagreeing about what 'plain text'

I'm not saying the protestor can't control himself. I'm saying the organisers of the protest has less control over that individuals actions so has less culpability. Whereas the police should have a culture of not throwing roc

Why is it dehumanising? I'm not talking on the level of humans, I'm talking on the level of nation states. Plus I'm not even saying it's oppressor and oppressed, it's that one group has organisation and one doesn&#x

Why a previewer rather than an editor that updates as you write? Do you have a specific use case? It seems to me that markdown is for writing with the ultimate output supposedly being html. Having a viewer of the markdown doesn't seem

I didn't say they are incapable of wrong. I'm saying you can't hold a group that doesn't have law and order, and therefore control to the same standard as a group that does have control. If protesters throw rocks at poli

You have to match revs anyway. Without Synchromesh the trick is to double declutch.

The moment the allies liberated France, the collaborators were stripped, shaved, and hung from a lamp post. Yes hamas is a messed up organisation, but that's come about as a result of Israeli actions. You can the lack of law and order

I think it's more a case of allies and enemies. Second the west likes to take the moral high ground. That involves holding them to a higher standard. Third, in cases such as Gaza, and the west bank, they don't have stable governme

So it's ok for a cop to demand payment from random people because his bosses are corrupt? If the entire enterprise is rotten, it's because it is corrupted. Unless you're an anarchist you have to accept that a democratic natio

Isn't that a bit naïve though? Will it actually get rolled back? Seems to me we've added another level of officialdom and it's never going to go. The next generation of plucky startups now have more hoops to jump through, cre

The harm hasn't been adequately demonstrated though. Whereas we know cigarettes are harmful to everyone. Alcohol in the UK can be consumed in the house from 5 years old. Which is the point. That societal norms at work. Everyone knows i

Is there any evidence for all this? This sums up my understanding of the current situation ( https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/understand-the-im... ) That isn't anywhere near definitive. Further it see

"without carriage return in line separators" How have you implemented this? That is really trivial. Well compared to writing a text editor. I say this as the author of several failed text editors, so I'm not suggesting you la

Annoyingly it's several (phone) screens down, so you get into the article before it cuts you off.

I thought that efficiency was governed by the wavelengths they absorb? Ie absorb all wavelengths == 100% efficiency. So that would imply they are inherently more efficient just looking at the figures provided.

Yes but you're recasting my complaints as good things. Many elements of an abusive relationship can be good, but it's the degrees that make them bad. Would you tell someone they weren't in an abusive relationship because the

The parent used the example of 2024s usage being X and 2025s being x+y. So this shows us what y is. But the precise mix that supplied X no longer exists, due to closures, so something must have back filled that x. So is that pro rata from t

Isn't it still flawed? If a coal plant gets switched off, that needs to be replaced but this graph excludes it. Unless you do it properly rata, but then the graph is essentially showing all generating capacity that's been added?

True, but ethics got us to the point where solar was economical. It's never just been about ethics, it's been about getting it to this point where it's cheaper.
