Maybe 'not corporate-controlled' is the real offer when you subscribe to an individual journalist.

Conventions on rescue come from a time when seafarers intended to complete their journeys unaided, not launching with an expectation of needing rescue. The public expense in the Mediterranean sea is very large when you add up diversions of

Don't see the private sector doing so either. It's a scramble every year for Glastonbury festival tickets.

Lots of people on modest incomes buy gadgets on credit.

Yes quite. But we were contemplating a future where small scale landlords were extinct.

Your nephew's ability to eat or keep a roof over his head is not conditional upon completing the boulder course at a pace set by a foreman, or completing it at all. That's what makes attaching pay to it special.

Their other data providers are me, as a user submitting a correction, and Streetview, which they could use to confirm the turn restriction.

The two things are fairly tightly connected. If ordinary citizens can't buy house, how does some other citizen (not corporation) buy one and offer it for rent to you?

Trauma arrest has a particularly low survive-to-discharge rate so you beat the odds. Speaking as an EMT, we will make every effort anyways - we like beating the odds too!

I've submitted a correction for an illegal turn instruction twice on Google maps. No reply. But my other corrections have been accepted.

Not very helpful to generalise about Europe in that way. It is a big place with a variety of zoning laws and plenty of examples of road, rail and air transport noise affecting homes.

I'm puzzled by the whole range. There are some that look just like a £10 digital watch but sell for £100. The difference seems to be the robustness but not that many jobs or hobbies put your watch in constant danger.

You're welcome to bring numbers rather than hand-waving to this argument.

The person you replied to did not imply that there was a difference in safety between lightning and usbc, they just used safety as an example of regulated standards with which to attack your reasoning. The EU is mostly seeking to reduce was

Are you not free to adjust the old thermostat when you leave for work or go to bed?

Not all the way to the coffin, but just the other day I saw a news report of EMTs calling time on a patient with no pulse who is in fact still alive today.

True. But the scalper problem was so large before that they didn't have a better option.

In the UK there are companies offering 5g as an alternative to fixed line at your home. Do you have something like that where you live?

Guess they know I'm a miser since they let me have a month of premium free of charge. I don't see much value in knowing who looked at my profile - if they don't follow up with a message then I wasn't the person they were

Tow the car in his case, and more generally. If the lines are intended for safety, then towing is needed to maintain that safety.

Glastonbury Festival does non-transferable by having a long period to register interest and upload a photo of yourself, then if you snag a ticket your photo gets printed on it and checked at the entrance. Their primary problem was resellers

Fair enough not to donate, but just because the developer is from Russia does not mean he supports the Russian government.

Some of that lab work is contracted out of the NHS, but your NHS doctor is largely steered by clinical guidelines rather than profit or ass-covering. Eg https://www.synnovis.co.uk/about-synnovis

I agree with studying the field to help you understand your own health, but I prefer sci hub or any peer reviewed source over an LLM. I'll revise this view as LLMs develop, but right now I'm seeing plausible bs as often as I see g

I don't have a view either way, but we can measure pollution from different cooking methods under controlled conditions so we know which is better or worse independent of ventilation. Ventilation depends partly on individual behaviour,

Thousands of newsfeeds sounds like a quantity problem in itself. Even at one post per feed per day doesn't that take up an inordinate amount of your time?

I'm only seeing policies which seem designed to change the behaviour of the less well-off: a daily charge for driving in certain areas that is priced the same whether you are an average Joe in a compact car or millionaire in a super-ca

I wouldn't really expect this to get regular coverage outside the region. Just something in the foreign news section when there's a major event. But you can mitigate the bubble effect by bookmarking news sites in multiple countrie

Microsoft is bringing OpenAI into Office 365. I predict no loss of employment in busywork, just a bigger output of boring reports per worker.
