Fullmetal Alchemist and the redo Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the one I'm familiar with. Also the "filler" episodes from Naruto. It seems like mega series with 200+ episodes where fillers are needed aren't getting

For me in the UK "best pet insurance" is squatted by The Telegraph and "best cbd gummies" has Forbes top and The Independent second. I assume all media companies that have a "trusted domain" and are already inv

It's like Call of Duty, you're not supposed to buy one each year and be amazed. Just wait two or three years and THEN you get a marginal improvement that means you can justify the purchase to yourself. The yearly thing is to scam

With the prevalence of uniformed opinions about the EU and how it works on HN, that is a long shot (or big reach as the kids say).

It's not a monolithic project, it's a funding pool where an organisation can apply for access. It's not even limited to EU member states, the UK has returned as a partner after the Conservative party got their panties in a tw

At the start the railway infrastructure was also privately owned (Railtrack), but that collapsed after less than 10 years and became National Rail. This was a sign of the failure to come. There are a mountain of restrictions on the franchis

How would the government be able to hide that? There is oversight of the Treasury by the OBR and there is more than one political party in the UK, opposition MPs happily point out all the failures of the party in power. My view is that it i

The private sector pumps sewage into UK rivers while paying billions in dividends to their global investors. Then when the government tries to reign them back in the excuse is their company is "neither financeable nor investible"

Don't worry, this happens everywhere that caves to free market ideologies. In the UK local government (tax payers) get ripped off exactly the same for social care. Private equity firms know the local government has a legal duty to pro

Musk is not personally signing off on every take-down request. It's his "pet projects" that he amplifies to his acolytes on Twitter you need to look at.

It's "only" the richest man in the world fanning the flames globally of his favourite wedge issues (which for some reason are all far right memes), great.

Optional does not change the behaviour of the bad actors. Private corporations already run rings around governments, on tax and regulations. If you really have to experience Musk's chat bot on day one just use a VPN?

The NFS protocol does not support all the functions of a "native" filesystem running on a block device. NFS is fine for configuration files or read only. But workloads that do any sort of intensive writes will probably not like NF
