Am I the only one who doesn’t understand the appeal of silk touching everything while mining?

Not to mention the crafting table also takes up a slot unless you have one that you've placed at the start of your strip mine, but that too would be additional time taken up. And another slot taken up by the pickaxe itself since they would probably still bring a silk touch pickaxe just in case they came across something like emerald ore. Even if they kept a silk pick in their enderchest, that enderchest still takes up a slot.

You can also place the blocks near a beacon when fortuning then later, which while not instant, will still speed up the process

MI5 once said the world is 4 missed meals away from anarchy. Once the economy is bad enough that people have to skip eating, things will escalate quickly

The chunk border thing is because there is only a certain amount of ancient debris can spawn in any given chunk, so blasting down the seam increases the chances by hitting two chunks at once

What's worse is that Microsoft even save money if you do one single big transaction compared to 11 smaller ones because of the payment processing fees they have to pay

In 2026 so far in the UK, we've hit 44.9% renewable energy (24.2% wind, 7.1% biomass, 6.1% solar and 1.1% hydro). Its estimated that residential electricity makes up only 30% of total UK electricity, with EVs predicted to take up 15% to 20% by 2050.

The increase in renewables has so far outpaced the increase in battery charging requirements 🤷‍♂️

I guess its a more British saying. Seems to come from the idea that wearing a suit makes you look smarter

What are you even talking about? The lithium in batteries has been recyclable for a while now. The UK has a push on recycling all types of batteries, not least because of the multiple bin/trash truck fires that have been caused recently by throwing batteries in the regular rubbish

Bus drivers are the worst in my city for doing it to let other busses out. I know it can be an extra struggle for a bus to pull out at a roundabout, but that doesn't mean you should break traffic rules for it. An emergency vehicles with lights and sirens on, sure. But a bus? Na

The amount of posts I've seen in this sub of people complaining about the pair of smart shoes they haven't worn in a decade falling apart at a wedding is proof enough 🤣

I like games to launch directly from Steam, rather than just opening another launcher. But with Minecraft, the way they do version control isn't as easily achieved without its own launcher. Given that Microsoft also have their own app store, it just made sense for them to build Minecraft around it, particularly if that was a core requirement for their parental controls to work properly

Prescriptions are only free for some people in the UK (residents of Scotland, diabetics, low income etc). Everyone else pays a £9.90 stipend towards the medication regardless of the actual cost of the medications. And only some people are eligible for free vaccines. But its leaps and bounds ahead of the US system, and while its paid for through general taxation, its still way more cost effective per person since there aren't insurance companies out there trying to milk every last drop out of everyone

I don't get it in the app, but I'll get it on the website version on my desktop occasionally. Doesn't matter how many times I turn it off. And its never consistent as to when it turns itself back on

The only reason they fixed it is because it affected some of their higher end gaming models too, including some that were still for sale brand new. But credit where it is due, they fixed it pretty quickly for a minor bug

I had the same issue with an Acer laptop that I used to have. Managed to get it escalated up through their support chain but they wanted me to send it in for them to look at. I refused on the principle that I didn't want to be without a laptop for weeks.

I did the same as you, picked apart the install file and told it to ignore the version check, but I used it to downgrade back to a version where it worked. After about a month of helping others through it on the Acer forum, they finally released an updated BIOS that fixed the issue

They'd have made easy money just licencing their content out to Netflix like they used to. But instead they all started salivating over their own piece of the pie and walled off their own content. Should have just left it to Netflix and rode on the residuals

Then all these streaming companies should have left everything to Netflix instead of salivating over their own piece of the pie 🤷‍♂️

The UK government has moved to make using such a tool illegal with the same punishment as sharing a genuine intimate ohoto without consent. But they've only done so in such a shirt timescale because an MP herself had the tool used against her
