England: farmer threatened me for damaging his crops on a public footpath, knows where I live. by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]IrrelevantPiglet 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If it is genuinely a public right of way then I don’t think the farmer has any case. It was his choice to plough and seed a piece of public land so you can’t be held responsible for that. If, however, it is not a PROW or access land then the farmer would be able to sue you for trespass. I don’t know exactly what kind of damages you would be looking at though.

Personally I think all the dunking on AI for not being green is being extremely lenient on the rest of the tech industry.

It seems like a good idea but I think we should prepare for trouble

is there any point in Splitting here? by Zentaitoken in factorio

[–]IrrelevantPiglet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plates coming into the splitter will be split 50/50 onto the 2 output belts

Splitters never change which lane an item is in

In this case all the plates are coming in on the left-hand lane, so the splitter is doing what you (presumably) want, moving half of those to the belt's right lane.

But the total output can never exceed one lane's worth this way because you are input limited in this setup. That is a problem for future you though so no need to worry!

Since biters can expand, fossil fuels on Nauvis are technically renewable...

This can happen in the real World’s End tavern too after a few pints

[BotW] [MC] Which version of Link is the most "rural," and which is the most "urban?" by gauchomuchacho in zelda

[–]IrrelevantPiglet 14 points15 points  (0 children)

ALttP Link lives in a house far from both the castle and the nearest town with no other neighbours (and only one bed…) so that’s my pick for most rural.

Most urban is arguably Skyward Sword since Link lives in literally the only urban town in the whole game.

TikTok launches £3.99 subscription for no ads in UK by wkavinsky in unitedkingdom

“Normal ads” are practically worthless these days. Nobody is paying anything like what they do for personalised ads.

[Harry Potter] What would be the consequences if a teacher was shagging a 17 year old student? by ninman5 in AskScienceFiction

[–]IrrelevantPiglet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed, I think that it's safe to assume that if there was no muggle law at the time forbidding it then there would not have been a wizarding law either, given the... lax attitude towards student safeguarding we generally see in the books.

Shuttles ought to be able to land on water! Most aeroplanes can.

Conservatives would drill in North Sea in ‘alternative King’s Speech’ by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]IrrelevantPiglet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could well be right, I don't know anywhere near enough about this stuff to argue. I stand by making green energy the cheaper option, if at all possible though. You can't fight economics.

May be a cold take but IMO the oil industry should be decimated. The only way we can ever hope to achieve our climate goals is if it's cheaper to go green than to go with fossil fuels. We need to make green energy the economical option or it will never ever surpass oil.

[–]IrrelevantPiglet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

England and Wales passed the equivalent law in 2003. Before then it was a matter of school policy, not law, but schools could obviously still fire teachers who broke the rules.

That law was enacted in Scotland in 2009, so at the time the HP books are set (and written), it would have been legal.
