We don't actually need new laws. There are already existing mechanisms for holding the directors of companies criminally responsible for damage and death they cause. Its not new laws we need its the existing ones enforced and done so not just against the water companies but any company that is harming the environment and people or committing other criminal acts.

People have been repeatedly told not to go near this group. Its the age old story where "modern man" meets indigenous tribe and kills a bunch of them with disease and they now consider us at war. We need to leave these people alone.

I thought the first movie was better. Inside Out 2 was fine and enjoyed it but it felt a bit more painful comedy wise than the first one and the story was less compelling.

I noticed today searching that the date search no longer seems to work right. There are some terms that only appeared since 2020 and up until my recent attempts those terms produced no results on DDG when date constrained but now produce terms in articles clearly after that date. I don't know if this is some personalisation nonsense or always pulling but results if the constraints don't match or what but its seriously problematic and means I can't trust the date constraints anymore.

They are a lot more expensive than expected at the moment, once they start selling at the 30$/KWh they were proposed at they will be fantastic but if they stay at their current price LFP is going to be a lot cheaper.

Yes Satellite Reign, I guess its not very recent since it was nearly a decade ago!

Trustpilot in itself is a very problematic website as well that biases towards positive reviews. Companies can engage there and get reviews removed when the person won't further engage with the company that has wronged them and get the reviews removed. So if an organisation has bad reviews and its engaged on trustpilot they must be really bad.

Grian's early videos on his channel were all about how to make better looking buildings. The fundamental strategy is to start with a more interesting asymmetric shape as the base and vary the height in various places as well to produce a more interesting shape. For example the entrance could be a short corridor with well defined doorways and its only as high as the corridor needs to be breaking up the cube both on the bottom layer and vertically.

The second part of his steps I recall were depth. So take the corners and put structure and framing on the outside, do this across the entire build to give it that sense of being held up with columns.

The next is all about colour and details where small extra little pieces are added such as frames around the windows and stair cases used to fill corners of framing to make them gradient in.

I highly recommend those early Grian tutorial videos on youtube because they teach some fundamentals that can make any build look a lot better even when you start out with a grey cube,

Syndicate (the recent indy homage alas broke the formula too much).

The first attempt of many, the tech industry will normalise a subscription model alongside the hardware they just need to find the right justification that doesn't have universal push back. It worked for games, the trojan horse used was (often token) multiplayer addition and it will work in hardware too once they find the right combination.

It would carry a bit more weight if the UK wasn't continuing to ship them weapons they were using in this genocide. Infact that is something they should cease immediately.

AMD has unfortunately a long history of abandoning products before its reasonable on its graphics division. Its not really acceptable, up until earlier this year my NAS/server was running a 3600 and its only for power saving purposes I changed that as its still a very workable CPU in that role.
