More precisely, there's nothing in that review that even speculates that drinking tea might be an adequate substitute for using a fluoride toothpaste, let alone demonstrates it.

It looks incredibly similar. It plays somewhat differently - the controls are quite sluggish for me, the jumping and climbing is a bit clumsier, and the grenades change the dynamic. But the influence is very clear!

Except in a subway systems, the cost of the stations dominates the cost of the tunnels. So a small saving on the tunnelling itself doesn't make much difference. Check out the December 2018 forecast costs for Crossrail [1]. 3676 million

A colleague of mine preaches this gospel. But we never actually delete anything. So now our life is lived on a shanty-town of under-engineered throwaway codebases. I'm not saying that our life would be better if we gold-plated anything

The bearings in external bottom brackets are much less well protected, and so more vulnerable to water and dust and so on. That means they need to be regreased or replaced more often. I see people talking about doing that monthly, annually,

It works for me with stock Chromium and Chrome on Linux. But for Firefox, i apparently need a custom patched build, which isn't available for the distro i run, so i haven't confirmed that.

A flip side of GAS is that the market optimises for gear acquirers. A decent square taper bottom bracket is perfectly good for 99% of cyclists, and maintenance free for a decade or more. But gear acquirers are only interested in the latest

This only seems like a problem if you struggle to afford these purchases, or lack space for the spares. Otherwise, it's mildly eccentric but sensible.

This change would not break any source compatibility.

Sounds pretty good. But i think the mode selector has to be in the source code where a reader can see it, which rules out a compiler switch. The current proposal doesn't exclude this possibility in the future, does it. Maybe one day yo

Genetic optimisation seems like an odd choice here. The fundamental operation of genetic optimisation is crossing over - taking two solutions, and picking half the parameters from one, and half from the other. This makes sense if parameters

FWIW, literally the first sentence on the page is wrong: > An Elizabeth Line train at the Shenfield station west of London. Shenfield is east of London!

The Elizabeth line doesn't run a particularly fast long-distance service - it stops at all stations [1] between Reading and London. If you wanted to go from Reading to somewhere in central London, it would be faster to take a non-stop
