Sure, change at Crewe. Back in BR days it cost £45.50 off peak (over £100 today inflation wise) and took about 3 hours, but sure you didn't have to change.

This t470 on ubuntu 2404 runs steam just fine. The main issue with modern games is the lack of gpu, but gpus in laptops are never great.

Personally I'd never go for 10g copper, just run some fibre back to your cupboard. For APs sure, do copper for POE, but not for computers. I doubt APs will need >1G in practical places for the next decade, and I don't think 10g

HS2 is nothing to do with the nationalised rail maintenance, that's just an example of the inability for the UK (and indeed most of the western world) to build large projects, a lot of corruption, a lot of outsourcing, and an infinite

In the 1980s the nationalised railway was considering closing London Marylebone. Today The number of passengers on the railway is far ahead of the number in the 80s and 90s. There is a persistent belief in the UK that privitisation of the r

ISO 8601 only allows timezones as offsets, not as locations. If it allowed "Africa/Cairo" instead of "+0200" that would be fine. > they could hypothetically (if you want to be literal-minded about it) change the

ISO 8601 timezone only allows an offset. You can't encode "04:00 in Cairo on 13th November 2036" as there's no way to know what UTC offset Cairo will have in October 31st 2036. > 2036-11-13 04:00:00 Africa/Cairo

The problem here, like the gaza documentaries, is it's produced by outside companies, and the BBC -- like most companies -- sucks at governing outsourced providers.

The presenter was quoting a report which had written "pregnant people", and decided to change that to "women" - which is not what the report said. Even worse than the Trump edit (which was bad -- for want of a flash of w

But that popularity (about 2:1 saying brexit was a mistake) isn't translating to political support, probably because both Labour and Tories supported Brexit. And while the majority agree we should never have left the EU, and the majori

Austrailia is 80 times the size of the UK, it has a lot of resources - 240 times as much space per person than the UK. The UK is too large to be an independent city state, but too small to be self sufficient.

We don't have democracy because the people with the most money can use a century of learning how to manipulate people through mass propaganda, advertising, pr, spin to get the results they want. People don't form political opinion

Presuming you're talking Europe only, are you talking Copernicus? Brahe? Kepler? Galileo? You know that the heliocentric model had been discussed 2000 years earlier in Europe.

The sensible thing would be deep integration with a continent-spanning economy. Sure the UK is an island, but the channel isn't exactly wide (not to mention the tunnel). It's hardly Iceland - even Ireland is more detached. But the

Yes, and I no longer subscribe to amazon prime because they added adverts to their standard plan. Indeed when I went to rejoin a year later there wasn't an ad-less plan. As such I don't subscribe.
