This is an absolutely massive loss for me. I had no idea it wasn't backing up my OneDrive files. A horrible way to find out and a massive loss of trust.

This figure in the UK is unsourced and I'm fairly sure is not true (or at least not what you've labelled it), and has been quoted out of context by people trying to stir trouble not reasoned debate. I'll assume good faith her

As always this is grossly oversimplifying. As well as the misleading safety stats, as graemep has noted, it ignores that journeys just absolutely exploded under privatisation [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatisation

I asked Perplexity (Pro, if it matters). Seems pretty solid to me. I'm not sure this article is making any point other than "the knowledge back of static artificial intelligence systems is finite and they don't express uncert

At no point in this long piece does the author seem to consider that people may be "woke" because they sincerely believe that they need to raise their and other people's awareness of prejudice or ways in which society puts pe

I think the people in this are deceased? Does that change your view (genuinely asking)?

I had to look it up (although I realise now that's what all the chemicals shown on Six Feet Under were about). Sadly as I get older I've been to many funerals here in the UK. Not one of them had an open display of the dead body. A

Shared here because when watching it the first reason for her departure was the sterility of being on her own and not part of a work group since people increasingly work from home. It made me wonder how many other people have found this. I

Oh crumbs you shouldn't have shown me that! I didn't know about the 90mm f/2.8 macro. It looks very nice. £614 second hand..... One aspect I've loved of writing the reviews is some very cheap lenses (the Canon 135mm cost

I know it's not helpful to say "well it works for me", but...."well, it works for me". I'll try and be more helpful: I have several Windows computers - all four now running Windows 11. In all cases at the minim

I'm sure there are a mix of reasons. It's definitely significant for us and as we went to Cornwall this year we spoke to people on the way there and way back who offered this without promting for why they took the train. Different

Genuine question that I couldn't see in the article; does everyone on a film get residuals, or just the more notable roles like writer and actor? If not, did e.g. a lighting specialist not contribute at least as much as a person whose

For me it’s absolutely horrible staying in a hotel with kids. You either all stay in one room (so no fun once they’ve gone to bed and we sit in the dark) or you buy two rooms (normally really expensive) and then either try and find the norm
