How s that measured? How do you count human users who have been turned away?

I wonder whether what Anubis is doing might be blocking agents that do not run JS or that have a timeout (or humans who give up as I just did)

Which is protective in itself. Expensive surveillance will have to be more limited. Maybe of leaders of organisations rather than every supporter.

I favour random selection. You end up with a perfectly representative parliament.

If they were otherwise reasonable that might be a solution but their obsession with immigration is getting worse. In get the feeling they are turning into into Restore. Maybe next time they will accept a donation from Musk.

How are British refuelling and transport aircraft directly involved in genocide? https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/palestine-group-attacks-raf-... Its definitely not OK to vandalise things, and if is not terrorism what is it?

Damaging property for political ends has been part of the definition in the UK, and I think the US, for decades. I would say the case for targetting military equipment is stronger than for damaging most other things. > This is simply arm

The average user does not demand an app. If they did they would not need to be pushed to apps by "it works better on the app" or offered discounts for using the app.

Palestine Action has been designated a terrorist group in the UK as well after sabotaging military aircraft (the article says they sprayed paint, but does not say it was sprayed inside jet engines, rendering them inoperable). Masar Badil su

What about costs? For low margin businesses, especially small ones, the cost of card payments is significant.

To be fair, the study does acknowledge that problem: >The findings indicate that 2 people in the same relationship may experience and interpret the division of household responsibilities very differently, and these differences matter for

I am thinking about whether I can do without a car. I definitely could if busses were better. As it is I think I would end up using taxis a lot.

Rural and small town, often yes. Varies with region. Some big cities (London, Manchester) seem to have good public transport although its been a while since I used a bus in either.

by graemep 2mo ago
Exactly what I thought. Its also a long way short of what you need to plan a journey that involves changing buses. Where I live it looks like I could do a lot by bus looking at just the routes, but they are infrequent and unreliable so I us

The big thing missing there are measures of parental behaviour and how much attention the kids get from adults. I would love to see an adjustment for parental screen time, or a study of the impact of parental screen time on academic perform

That is a real problem, but at least you were able to keep her off one until eight and I think that helps a lot - younger is far worse. My kids are older (so the pressure was less a few years ago), and home education helped a bit (less scho

There are similar caps in the UK and most credit card rewards seem to be low after an initial offer period. There are some specific discounts and benefits but not cash rewards. It is illegal (not banks will not let you, actual legislation)

I can understand that, but a few things that are reassuring. Screen time is not that new a problem. Kids have been put in front of the TV since the 70s or 80s. When my older daughter was born two decades ago people said we could not do with

There is a lot missing here. Without paying £30 I cannot see what the adjustments in the adjusted models are. There is no breakdown for different ages. Its very likely that the effect on a one year old and an eight year old would be very di

I knew about the Tartarian Empire theory but not Fomenko's new chronology. its amazing, and one of the most thorough and clever conspiracy theories and it has no lack of scope and ambition. Jesus was made up based on a 12th century Byz
