Tbh I could not be arsed to go somewhere to buy a gift card to then use it. I’m more likely to use another platform to buy a game.
It’s not that I don’t have values. I just don’t feel strongly enough about using Steam to make that trip just for a gift card.
Digital gift cards would be okay though.
Global warming and ecological crises make shifting diets away from animal products a pretty good idea.
Whether it’s antibiotics resistance, deforestation, or greenhouse gas emissions, humanity is paying a very high price for animal agriculture at the current scale.
It’s a lack of human imagination to think that animals without eyebrows can’t suffer.
There are parts of (industrial) beekeeping that aren’t ethical. It’s up to people themselves to decide if they are comfortable with that.
For example outcompeting other native pollinators, culling entire hives by drowning or gassing is a thing, clipping the wings of the queen to prevent swarming, increased risk of disease due to lower nutritional value of sugar water

Supposedly centrist. They’re curious whether being populist right wing on some issues will win over Reform UK voters. It’s just that they’re so curious and are doing this so often that they’re well on their way into morphing into a right wing party.
so no one will protest daddy government.
Yea this is a problem…
Laughs in savage 16A
It’s actually hilarious how paranoid the campaigns to switch plugs off have made people. I have met plenty of people who switch sockets of devices that are not in use off AND unplug the devices.
I feel your pain. Also the lack of sockets in bathrooms and the low standard height of sockets is annoying.
Yes, and type F is an example for international collaboration that the British could learn a thing or two from.
Type G fans might argue that a fuse in each plug is super safe, and they have a point. But it’s made more necessary because of all the weird stuff that’s going on in the electrical circuits.
It’s an entertaining rivalry between the fans of these two plugs. I find the British plugs very large and inconvenient due to the fixed polarity. I’m aware of course of all the additional safety features. (People are always happy to explain those)
You could add 100+ safety features into a plug and it’d be as large as your fist, but it’d be a bit mad. I just wish someone with the right expertise could tell me: is it all worth it? Does the British plug get the balance right between user experience and safety? Is the type F plug unsafe compared to it?
The path closest to the road is the footpath. The other path is the cycle path. They put the guardrail in between for some reason.
Consequently the footpath isn’t used and pedestrians and cyclists need to share the cycle path.
It’s Stevenage, a town in the UK that was designed and built in the 50s and 60s with cycle paths along most major roads, pretty unique for that time. It was championed by one person during construction. The decades after haven’t been kind to the cycle network. The footpath is closest to the road because the designer thought that would be the most convenient for bus stops (it isn’t).
And what story does this tell?
No, that’s not what I mean.
Encouraging political accountability is a key responsibility of the media in a democracy. These reports help voters, watchdogs, and parliament to exercise their role of holding politicians accountable. Admittedly, this is an imprecise process and this system is not functioning well in the US at the moment. Still, the media must keep (and improve) reporting on items where political accountability comes into play.
In this case it’s a clear cut case of breathing campaign promises. It’s important to report on this because it’s relevant to those who voted Trump into office.
The media should also report on the consequences of those strikes, the human suffering, the destabilisation that it causes etc. However, this might not be information that Trump voters find relevant. However wrong this may be.
It’s fine if you’re arguing that this angle is being underreported by Salon and other US based media. I expect this could well be that this is the case, but I don’t know as I don’t live there. All I’m saying is that the editorial choice not to do so in the same article.
That would be okay though, right? We’re all different in our ways of being vegan
It’s fulfilling its role as media of publishing information that would ordinarily be used for accountability: Trump is doing something else than he promised he would.
Not every article has scope to show the human consequences behind decisions.
But… how else am I going to connect my toothbrush to my smarthome…?
Just kidding, I use home assistant and my oral-b toothbrush broadcasts using BLE, which Is capture using the oral-b integration. You don’t need to be logged in.
I agree. It’s super dumb to buy IOT toothbrushes that require you to be logged in. Luckily I’m not one of those people, so that doesn’t apply to me. Phew…
And do you suppose the banister would be installed if the mattresses were at the bottom?
Other road users don’t have anything to do with it though, including those who aren’t even driving
Or the road design doesn’t facilitate compliance with the speed limit. This is how policy and guidance on road infrastructure talks about these issues.
Not so great for people walking or cycling though. Higher speeds mean more serious and fatal collisions.
Where these modes of transport mix, 20mph is becoming the default choice in western European countries, there is a global declaration on this. If roads feel like they’re made for higher streets: that’s bad infrastructure design.

Of course, but that would mean delaying a purchase by a day or more
