Well, it's not like the idea of the UK being a "major producer of oil and gas" is a feasible long-term strategy anyway.

So in other words… it’s not a solved problem. What point are you trying to make?

Any solution to a public health problem that involves moralising about how groups should change their behaviour is not only doomed, it’s actively counterproductive. And doxycycline is a PEP treatment, not a PrEP treatment; respectfully you

Is someone irresponsible enough to pursue causal, unprotected sex with random partners also likely to be responsible enough to visit a doctor proactively and comply with a prep regimen? Anecdotally, very much so - at least among the gay&#

The evidence I’m aware of suggests that this method (on-demand or event-based PrEP) is broadly as effective as daily PrEP (though it’s not suitable for vaginal sex). I believe adherence rates are generally lower though, as people can find t

Isn’t the point that significantly reducing the effort required changes the “is it worth it” equation?

Nigel Farage is (was) the MP (Member of Parliament) for the Clacton area. He is currently under investigation by the parliament's standards watchdog after reports that he failed to declare some donations and benefits. If he’s found to

I don't think this is actually your view, though. I can't imagine that you think harassment or violent threats are things that should have no repercussions.

But this is a Pi Pico, which is a microcontroller and not a Linux system.

Why did you choose to lie about this today? I'm genuinely interesting – this is trivially obviously not true, so what motivated this?

In the UK you get thrown in prison for making a slightly unfriendly tweet. Freedom of speech simply does not exist. "These days if you say you're English you'll be arrested and you'll be thrown in jail." It's

This isn't true – why did you come here and choose to lie about this?

To quote – I don't know how to explain to you that you should care about other people.

This is not true – the police cannot "simply ask anyone for their passwords", and your oversimplification has resulted in this becoming a lie. I would really strongly recommend that you educate yourself first – by doing this, you

No, you were merely wrong.

The other, very often just ‘pink,’ is predominantly a light red. A quick and sloppy way to describe this is a light grey with a raised red component. While that’s true, it’s also still not monochromatic in the electromagnetic sense.

I'm afraid you didn't read my message – this is to be expected, since you've clearly decided on your opinion in advance. But it's really simple: - The "let's leave the EU" side won in the UK, no question -

Poor research then, as end user prices are unfortunately not correlated with the cost of renewables.

The EU made UK elections into single-issue ones? Obviously that didn't happen. I think you're just projecting, to be honest. The "leave the EU" side won; unexpectedly, with no clear vision of what that involved. And then

This didn’t happen. I know you have a fantasy it will be hard to disabuse you of, but that was an issue all of the UK’s own making.

Of course leaving the EU is hard. Membership has a significant effect on regulation and governance. The fact that something is hard also doesn’t mean you aren’t free to do it. It being “fought” or countries being “penalised” is a matter of

That obviously makes no sense. A club isn’t a sovereign entity just because it has rules. Hungary is free to leave the EU and set a border policy that conflict with EU law if it wishes - but if it wants to remain part of that organisation,

It isn't even information – it's noise. I'm actually quite surprised by the number of people who have fallen for this. There aren't even any concrete claims here – just the vague assertion that some things are "impo

Other than that, I find this whole thing mostly very saddening. Not because some company used my diagram. As I said, it's been everywhere for 15 years and I've always been fine with that. What's dispiriting is the (lack of)

No, there is not “obviously some truth to it”. There are any number of actual problems with London, including but not limited to a lack of enforcement against obvious frauds, and none of which are the related to the topic being discussed.

It's a genuinely surprising feeling to live in a place, but see an absolute torrent of malevolent misinformation about it. The "London has fallen" trope that has been prevalent on social media recently stank of some kind of d

Yeah, that's a common workflow. It's easy to programatically allocate those keys using the OAuth workflow though – there's even a CLI utility to do it ( https://tailscale.com/kb/1215/oauth-clients#get
