Got it. LED bulbs are destroying the social contract. One would call you a luminary but it seems you’d prefer being called predominantly a producer of hot air, like the old incandescents, instead. Also, the US is down 30% as well since peak

So let me get this right, solar panels on the roof, heat pumps, better fridges, and better insulation among other things are a crisis that will lead, in comparison, to the downfall of Western civilisation? Jeez, I better randomly turn on a

Kind of hard to tell what corresponds to what in these graphs, maybe if someone could point out Bookland (i.e. 978), it would be a bit easier to orient oneself?

A perfect analogy, if I were to trust the glass with my deepest darkest secrets, had a relationship with it going back decades, expect it to point me to the right direction and keep track of much of my correspondence, and so on and so forth

That's OK and perfectly reasonable, we all love him and Dinner for One just the same.

Ironically despite my central European heritage, I didn't watch Dinner for One, but I just watched that episode this December 29th, being on a Red Dwarf re-watch spree... again.

I just checked the transcript I've seen floating out there, the first alternate was Baku, i.e. their departure airport. Then Mineralnye Vody (which is some way to the west), then Makhachkala, then they seemed to go far to the east, so

There's a second mention above the fold on rt.com now. "Putin extends condolences over plane crash in ex-Soviet state". They're literally a parody of themselves. Like, what's the implication here: Shame about the ac

If I was a pilot flying into an at-war country I’d want my alternate to point in a different direction, the exact opposite course of the war zone ideally. Which this pretty much is. And, to further that point, multiple airports you listed h

This whole thing feels more and more like a terrible nightmarish mash-up between MH17 and UA232. Every indication so far is that the flight crew here are absolute heroes for bringing down the plane as well as they did and it's likely t

No, it’s because Kirk respected Scotty and gave him leeway. Picard is the meathead, if anyone, and actually watching all the episodes in detail and figuring out their characters you’ll realise that Kirk is twice the scholar and then some Pi

I’m also confused because based on that screenshot, the page has HTTPS, which would mean either the block would be client-side, or the entire domain is blocked.

My brain immediately reached for the word 'horrifying', with phrases 'terrible consequences' and 'halting problem' soon after, but to each their own.

Brisbane had trials for a Cubic system in 2006 with a full rollout by 2008. It went, broadly speaking, OK. The machines at stations were a near unusable mess and the locations you could buy the cards from were ridiculously limited.
