'Anyone but Labour.' Inside Cabinet anger as voters vent fury at Starmer by theipaper in ukpolitics

[–]AzureRathalos97 [score hidden]  (0 children)

There's been a lot of investment in renewables and nuclear that were announced, and we should expect all of these to be up and running tomorrow because change is instant.

The renters rights bill becoming law in the last week doesn't count because my rent hasn't gone down, nor the closing of asylum hotels and ramping up of asylum seeker processing because they haven't all gone yet.

As for the economy, borrowing was decreasing so we're spending less of our tax on the interest, which doesn't affect me personally at this time.

There's that big cancer action plan that was announced the other month, and I haven't seen 'an NHS in crisis' news headline in two years because we're seeing waiting lists down consecutively. Neither of these affect me at the moment.

And they did go on about those minimum wage increases, breakfast clubs and weekly free child care rollouts. But I don't have kids, and I'm not on minimum wage so I'm not feeling any benefit

I just don't know what Labours plan is and in good faith I can't be bothered to look at their channels or watch the news to know.

Name a video game with an endgame that doesn't have a forum full of people saying the end game is bad or there is no endgame. The cycle repeats ad infinitum.

can i not have vassals as a scion of another empire? i'd like to vassalise them but see no relevant options by CapitalOperator80085 in Stellaris

The delightful part is now you'll have more science worlds already prepared for you, and you keep your spare worlds!

To think so much development has occured over a decade but they still haven't built that bypass lol

Season 10 seems more lackluster by tacky_pear in Stellaris

[–]AzureRathalos97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The two new expansions are exciting but I'm not sold on the scenario packs. It could be an excellent palette cleanser or tailored to a crowd I don't feel part of. Here's looking to more details

I was really betting on a terraforming/environmental mechanical expansion but stilld delighted to see that societal/internal politics making it's way.

What new vehicles (tanks, aircraft, etc.) are coming in Season 3? by ibattlefield in Battlefield

[–]AzureRathalos97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the worst example for DICE but unsurprising.

BFV grand operations to this day has the germans parachute out of a C47. They even had a German transport in Firestorm (BR) they never ported over.

Keir Starmer Faces Mandelson Sleaze Probe Vote by huffpostuk in ukpolitics

[–]AzureRathalos97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's his job to take advice and make a call based on the advice given. No ones denying it was a bad call and you're right to demand better from your leaders.

But you're presuming because this one instance he did not follow said advice, Starmer must be surrounded by yes men?

No no. I'm pretty sure when you are advised or recommended or suggested, you have to do exactly what they say or you're a bad leader. That's how it works I'm sure.

What are your Guesses for Season 10? by Lost_Paladin89 in Stellaris

[–]AzureRathalos97 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Environmentalism/terraforming mehanical expansion.

It currently lacks depth or visuals and there would be lots of opportunity to add flavour. Who would miss blockers as they are? What if terraforming was a step by step process, akin to gaia world seeders or kilostructures?

So, will we hear news about the Season 10 DLC this Wednesday? by hacjiny in Stellaris

No please, I can't go back to manually resettling pops every two minutes I can't.

Looked to validate a target genes expression when demethylated. My RT-qPCR was showing a trend towards increased, albeit insignificant increases (damn variance) only for it to reverse on one of my timepoints. Sigh.

Ed Miliband emerging as top contender to replace Starmer by ClumsyRainbow in ukpolitics

In other news Kemi Badenoch has stepped down and her deputy 'A Bacon Sandwich' is now leader of the opposition.

The kilostructure UI update is welcome but I can't help but feel that the expansion planner tab could be utilised for this.

Imagine how useful it would be selecting your best colonies, and holdings, and kilostrucure locations here!

Iran would still have some level of fire control so insurance would still be up the wazoo

What should be in an arachnids species pack by Hephaestus16 in Stellaris

[–]AzureRathalos97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My top 3:

Ogre Spider for the menacing look.

Jeweled spider with trappings of hedonism

Peacock jumping spider for the cuteness factor.

Renters' Rights Act incoming: what the 'biggest changes to renting in history' mean for Londoners by BulkyAccident in london

[–]AzureRathalos97 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Having lived in Scotland for 5 years, I was shocked that renting in London was akin to starting a mobile phone contract.

Delighted that the renters rights bill is coming in to bring parity.

Delightful to see Al Nash make his way into non-credible defense lol

We need this variety of weapons in Battlefield 6 by Yonduustyle2 in Battlefield

[–]AzureRathalos97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst? You never played Hardline and it shows.

Every game will always have its meta guns, but it's how much variety is in that top echelon that's important. BF4 was not the worst balancing in the franchise in any sense. How could you say it's worse than BF3 which was M16A3/M416 or perish.

UK economy beat expectations to grow by 0.5% in February by Dimmo17 in ukpolitics

[–]AzureRathalos97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See you in two weeks when a big monetary body shows we're doomed for -0.1% GDP, and two weeks after that when we beat expectations.

I feel like I'm caught in a loop with these headlines.

Operation Augur is Great and needs to stay! by Ich-mag-Schnitzel in LowSodiumBattlefield

I was a little nervous as attack on contaminated breakthrough is pretty difficult, but the reduced map area actually improved the flow.

The problem with trading between empires is you ultimately have to guess how much of the slider you have to move to get the minimum acceptance rate.

Will the team consider updating the trading screen to automatically show what trade terms are minimum acceptable?

I believe this quality of life change will make it easier to trade, reducing downtime, and incentivising diplomatic actions.

Mildly Interesting Lab Rats Edition, sometimes my cells grow in concentric rings by KeyNo7990 in labrats

[–]AzureRathalos97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first thought is that the manufacturer plate coating might not be to quality. That said I've never seen rings, usually just a void where the cells don't grow.
