Here in the UK, if you call the emergency services they ask which service you require (police, ambulance, fire). It would be absolutely unthinkable to respond "fire" if there wasn't a fire. How does it work in the US? Is t

I haven't commented on HN for a long time, but this hit far too close to home not to respond to. I have had exactly the same kind of existential anxiety from a very young age (I remember discussing this extensively with my parents at ~

Literally the only channel I ever watch on television. It's pretty sad that the interesting documentaries have to be relegated to a separate channel so as not to confuse anyone watching BBC 1 or 2 (and BBC 1 and 2 get the HD versions,

London is do-able for me (Newcastle), but the problem with evening events like this is getting back - having to stay in a hotel somewhere on top of the train journey makes it a pretty expensive trip. A daytime event would be much better fo

You might be driving abroad on a valid license, just not a license from the country you're driving in. In which case it's perfectly possible the signs wouldn't be in your native language.

For what it's worth, I haven't been able to get the fan to spin up at all, even when running a GPU benchmark for 10 minutes or so. It might just be there for some worst case scenario when something could reach dangerous temperatures.
