Many people happily eat raw ground beef. I don't know anyone having an Impossible or Beyond tartare.

Are Impossible and Beyond just regular TVP? I thought they were more sophisticated than that?

The encodings do matter - you're forced to use a Unicode encoding. If you want to use a Unicode-incompatible encoding then FU.

What's the beef with the home bar? Seems pretty innocent?

> Strings should be exposed as collections of code points, not code units. Wasn't that the exact idea of using UCS-2? At the time it gave you 1-1 code-points and code-units. That's changed over time, but they didn't realis

Which is why no reasonable HR department would tell two employees to get into bed together and switch the lights out and hope for the best.

Isn't touch pretty likely when you're under the covers with someone? Either accidental or on purpose? How are you going to figure that out? Seems like a landmine.

I've accepted dormitory-style accommodation and worse in the Army, but I wouldn't expect even the Army to ask me to literally share a bed with another adult. And this is a bank , not wilderness work or the Army.

Aren’t the Guardian reporting news? Rather than giving an option themselves? It isn’t a gotcha to say the Guardian don’t do it, unless you think it’s a gotcha that they reported on the invasion of Ukraine but have not also invaded Ukraine.

Forcing someone to share a bed with someone seems like sexual assault?

The Guardian also reports on war. Does this mean you can go to war for the Guardian?

The problem for me is the failure mode - step into something deeper than you thought, not able to stop and take them off, you’re going to be in trouble. Terrible failure mode worse than not bothering in the first place. I would wear waterpr

Short of specialist arctic conditions, if you’re moving you’re going to be a warm enough anyway.

You shouldn’t move wearing Gore-TEX in my experience. If you stop and it’s wet you put it on while stopped. You take it off when you start moving again. If you’re moving you’re going to be wet anyway (sweat) so no point trying to stay dry f

Ulcers, heart-attacks, kidney damage. But also they mask pain via reducing inflammation and the point of pain is to let you know something is wrong. Like water it’s fine until you’re swallowing pill after pill.

I think they build up to it over time, all trying to out drink each other. I’ve seen mild cases in people in practice - people told to just sip a bit of water but they go ahead and drink multiple gallon jug fulls and then wonder why their l

I think it’s still possible to actually get housing in the UK, it’s just more expensive than you’d like. (There’s lots on the market near me.) Look at somewhere like Ireland where it’s getting to the point where there almost literally just
