Splitting hairs, but the public health bodies are separate from the National Health Services (so there exists Public Health England _and_ NHS England). Public health is slightly different to healthcare, but of course they work together. Odd

I'm probably going down a conspiracy theory, but it's notable when all the Five Eyes countries seem to start talking about the same problem and pushing through legislation. The US would probably do the same if not for the constitu

Are your UUIDs generated client side or server side? If it's client side, it could be due to a crawling bot. Googlebot for example executes Javascript using deterministic "randomness".

If you're using R in 2026, you're probably invoking code compiled from Fortran from the 70s/80s somewhere along the line. It's a foundation for a lot of numerical computing.

The UK is consistently amongst the lowest household expenditure on food in the entire world. Only 3 countries in the world are self sufficient in food. If this "reasonable worst-case" scenario happens, surely the UK is one of th

GB News gets a lot of criticism, but I watch the odd show and I've always found it to be balanced. There's a lot of political and regulatory pressure against them, so much so that GB News took Ofcom to the High Court and overturne
