You mean the gas power stations that are already built?

I don't think it's so much an issue of designed to fail as trying to get it as cheap as possible. Theres further issues with everything coming out of china and a brand slapped on it. No one is left to take responsibility on the en

Well you're saying that from not just an Anglo centric pov but a US pov. 'Cockly' doesn't sound particularly bad to my British ears. But then I live not so far from Penistone, so maybe I'm just used to these kind of

I've recently hand the 'pleasure' of dealing with legal issues. Google ai was giving me lots of useful sounding advice but you ask for case law, and then Google itself can't find it, and the ai in that search is guessing

So you were being serious. You know the quoted figures are based on nothing...

Weren't structs a fairly late addition to C? And anyway, isn't that kind of missing the point. 512 bytes isn't much. Your comment is nearly a 5th of that budget.

So basically bitcoin is the finance equivalent of fascism/extremism? It promises something better than the current broken system. And people end and up not looking too hard for / are willfully blind to, the flaws, until it inevita

When you say Europe you mean the EU? I'm not seeing an option in the UK. (Yay Brexit)

So technically you do mean what you said? Just aimed at the parent in particular, not as some general rule. Anyway, maturity is overrated, and sometimes A holes need to be called A holes, I haven't read the comment at issue so whether

by benj111 9mo ago
Why do you jump to the conclusion of parent being the problem? Your comment implicitly accepts that people's social skills can be problematic, but you assume it isn't the manager?

by benj111 9mo ago
Technically I believe the dog is the manager in this metaphor. The length of time between behaviour and reward/punishment is too great. So to train your manager you need to go home straight away.

Ah well, to me it kind of misses the point. Yes it's a valid method of repair, for pottery. Really the book should have been designed to be long lasting/ repairable. But then I do over think these things.

If it's anything like eBay, just open another account. I've had 2 eBay accounts randomly closed for no stated or discernable reason. I've just opened new accounts. Now I have separate buyer and seller accounts so at least I h

To me, the psychology is the same. I'm not going to say history will repeat, but to me, as a voter, my main responsibility is to elect someone who respects the process. Trump, like Hitler, fundamentally doesn't, which means there&

I'm surprised all large non US investors aren't moving away from the US. US treasuries are supposed to be the standard for 'risk free' but that just isn't the case any more. Any one could be at the wrong end of the

Ok my apologies, no insult intended, I edited the post to make my meaning more clear.

> Trump sending your neighbour to a death camp What I'm trying to say is that illegal immigrants just like the Jews are the 'other' the actual group doesn't necessarily overlap with the boogyman. For example trump vot

by benj111 9mo ago
The 'final solution' hadn't been decided on, so no I don't think any Germans voted for that, were the Jews openly being vilified? Yes, but that's like equating ICE rounding up illegals, and Trump sending your neighb

TBF, you shouldn't even need to quote that clarification. Surely the first step in the 'art of the deal' is checking that the party you want to make a deal with actually controls the thing you want. Although like an onion, th

I'm not drawing parallels to the holocaust per se. I don't think anyone in Germany voted for the mustachioed one expecting that. They had various grievances and wanted a 'strong' leader. The voting against democracy is t

Are you not from the US? I wasn't accusing you personally of supporting your governments actions, but I think you as in your country is acceptable terminology.

Is that because you have a phone already? In ye olden days we had PDAs 'Personal Digital Assistants' some of which were in this kind of form factor, but then everything they did, addresses, phone numbers, notes, calculator is done

As a Brit who studied history, the parallels to 1930s Germany are too strong for comfort. So I would suggest reading up on that for some answers. Although as the comparison hopefully makes clear, you worrying about tariffs is missing the po

>blocking their access to Microsoft services. Really? So basically any organisation in any country that the current or future US administration may be hostile to (read everyone) should now be looking for an alternative. Seems short sight
