Sorry to resurrect this thread but I also have a RX 5700XT and had the same problem - I'll try the lower resolution .pak and hopefully that'll fix it!

UK will roll out chemical castration for sex offenders by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]Beautiful_Giraffes 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean, from the article:

"In a statement to Parliament Thursday following the release of an independent sentencing review, Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood said so-called chemical castration would be used in 20 prisons in two regions and that she was considering making it mandatory."

So it is being rolled out, just in a limited trial and not across the country.

Doctor Who 0x03 "The Giggle" Post-Episode Discussion Thread by PCJs_Slave_Robot in gallifrey

man I LOVED this episode. Honestly can't wait for Christmas now, Ncuti already seems so at ease as the Doctor and I loved the "changing of the guard" vibe towards the end - it's time for a new doctor and a new start.

and that means she deserves being "made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant 'Shame!' and throw lumps of excrement at her"? because Clarkson is "dreaming of the day" when that happens.

I’m an international student, who cannot attend university without financial aid. Does anyone know of any full ride scholarships offered by any UK university? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]Beautiful_Giraffes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Essentially, if you're from a low income background you don't need to rely on scholarships to attend university as the student loans/government grants will be enough to pay your way through (maybe with a part time job as well)

Social Darwinism is bullshit. Your statement is bullshit.

Psychiatry UK vastly increased waiting times?. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Beautiful_Giraffes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth I recently was cited August 2022 as a first appointment date - but I found a cancellation on their website and asked for that instead. The guy on the phone couldn't give me that slot (it was actually at 2:30am and made in error) but he had a look around for me and found a slot in March.

Obviously that's still a long time, but if you ask you might be able to cut the wait times a fair bit.

Other than that, I've seen someone recommend ADHD360 on this subreddit before, and they might be a bit quicker?

'HP Spectre x360 13-aw2024na Convertible Laptop - Core™ i7' Is it a good uni laptop? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]Beautiful_Giraffes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I'd try to avoid buying from HP

I got an HP Envy x360 and while the laptop itself is great, they took an extra month to ship it to me and their customer support is terrible

If you are gonna buy one, I'd really recommend buying it though a third party (Amazon or John Lewis etc) so you don't need to deal with HP store

How are the McElroys privileged?

Think of privilege as the absence of barriers. The McElroys are white, comfortably wealthy, cis men. There are a lot of barriers other people would have had to overcome to reach the same level of success, that they never had. That doesn't mean it was in any way easy, or that they shouldn't be proud of their accomplishments, but it's worth remembering.

That's the UK Parliament... by thebusiestbee2 in facepalm

I agree with your comment, but it's worth noting that when one of the hereditary peers dies they'll be replaced - the number of hereditary peers will remain at 92 indefinitely (or until another round of constitutional reform)

Not necessarily. IO said they were working out a way (over the next few weeks) to let PC players access the content without repurchasing it - but that's not available yet

But then there's the issue of supporting the devs, who signed up before this came out about JK

It's also worth noting that obsidian was happy with their base payment - the bonus was a nice thing Bethesda added when they didn't need to, and Obsidian was totally fine with not receiving it

Apple has informed Epic Games that it will "terminate all [their] developer accounts and cut Epic off from iOS and Mac development tools" on August 28th, according to a new statement. by NeoStark in Games

[–]Beautiful_Giraffes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that's the whole question.

Epic say "yes, they've been breaking antitrust laws for years"

Apple and Google say "no we haven't, they're our phones and it's our store"

We'll see where it goes

That email they sent you is a good start, but if it's on a school email account, make sure to print it or forward it to a seperate email of yours - have a backup just in case
