Well at least we know which publication refused to capitulate to morons.

I wonder which ones they kept.

Honestly depends.

If it's life or death urgent, an ambulance arrives, takes you away and with any luck, fix you right up. Visitors will likely have to pay to park at the hospital, and that will be your biggest expense. When my dad had a cardiac arrest, it was during covid, so the parking was free. The biggest expense was cleaning his blood off the carpets and putting their cat in the cattery for a week.

If it's something non-urgent, and the cause isn't immediately found by a doctor, then you might go on a waiting list and be seen in a few months maybe. And even then it might not get sorted. It's not like House.

The most annoying bit is the 8am phone roulette to try and get an appointment.

Try Jedi Fallen Order. It's got a lot of the ingredients, but a lot shallower learning curve.

Yeah, stick with GoW. It's one of my favourite games of last gen just for the story telling.

Post game there's some vicious challenges that took all my ability just to beat them on normal.

Come on, we don't need tracking devices embedding under the skin.

Just use an AirTag. Much cheaper.

Pretty sure it meets their strange definition of antisemitism.

Even the semites are antisemites.

I do like Mini PCs, but I kind of wish there was an easy way to get a solid GPU into it. There's those weird docks but they're far from standard, and it would be nice if the GPU had a similar form factor, so you could just stack them up like a MiniPC on top of it like an old hi-fi separates system.

Slap a storage box on it as well for some HDDs, baby you got a server going.

Both Linux and MacOS look fairly flat overall, with a few spikes for Mac. What did happen was iOS and especially Android went to the moon.

Most people had a PC for a bit of light office work, emails and storing pictures. All of that can be done on a phone and more besides. It's not great that a handful of Silicon Valley techbros are holding everyone's data to ransom, but that's what the masses are doing.

I think this is the official bit.

It must replace an existing fossil fuel system, and you can't be left with a hybrid system (e.g. heat source plus boiler)

Meaning it must heat water somewhere, using the heat pump. Can you even get a system that heats water and air? And would that be included in this scheme? Some guy on reddit says they're excluded, he may be full of shit.

I'm assuming there's a much more detailed guide than this for installers, full of technical jargon about what is and isn't included, but I can't find that.

I thought that was methadone, or did Trainspotting lie to me?

I'd like to thank a childhood of having no friends to offer me any drugs for keeping me away from a lifetime of addiction.

The nudity section was always such a gamble.

Was it going to be somebody attractive? Was it going to be Lolo Ferarri with her horrendous beachballs? Or was it going to be an elderly Belgian naturist with tits like windsocks?

How dare they?! It's well known that the director's son had a roommate at university who once walked past a Hamas member!

Fucking antisemites, the lot of them!
