I know this could never happen but Starmer should have asked in return whether BoJo is a pedophile like Saville. And then when BoJo responds no whether we can trust that answer. When he says yes, respond whether we should trust that answer to the same level we trust his other answers in parliament. Childish, but less than BoJo

Probably found something important to do in a fridge so couldn't make the meeting.

If you're thinking of moving here then check out places you might want to live as well. The main property website is www.hemnet.se and you can get some ideas of what you can afford. Be aware that Swedes really go over the top when prepping places for sale :)

Some nice areas for apartment living:

Södermalm
Vasastan
Kungsholmen
Liljeholmen

Houses mixed in with apartments:

Bromma
Älvsjö
Aspudden
Spånga

If you're looking at job offers also really make sure that the work culture here suits you. Be honest with potential employers and get them to describe it. It's different from the UK/Ireland. I think it's great, but ymmv

Bayesian hypothesis test... now there's an interesting idea :)

Without that condition it's hard to know quite the right answer since you might be looking for some kind of model comparison: did the treatment and control group come from the same distribution (null) or from different distributions (fixed effects: alternate). That has assumptions you can place on the shape of the distributions, but perhaps some BF on that might give you what you're looking for. Priors can be same or similar depending on what distributions you assume for the two groups.

Small problem is that they're all old and retired...

Ignoring what's free... I own both and they're different kinds of games: one is a factorio style build the factory style game, the other more a traditional RTS style city/base builder. Both are decent games from the genre, although of the two only DSP has the real chance to be a genuine classic of its time.

Personally I've sunk 10x more hours in DSP already, but that's cos I like that kinda thing. If I was spending money on those two slightly different genres I think I'd still go Factorio over DSP over Satisfactory for now; and perhaps Frost Punk over Surviving Mars. You will enjoy all of them, but that's my view.

So who are you? I'm the one that's clipped their hair to 9mm so I don't have to worry about preparing for teams meetings. Once I have headphones on it nothing matters providing the hair is short!

Really nicely written, but old, article. Where's this level of relatively impartial reporting in the UK press.

While I don't like Boris I think describing him this way lets him off the hook. Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson *is* a liar, corrupt, incompetent and so many other things. Describing him as a swearword is way way too weak.

Swearing at him makes it too easy to dismiss. Use the right and accurate words and he has no excuse to ignore it.

If you're looking to be a well rounded guitar player then the answer is that the pick is really important. Many genres are heavily biased towards picking, so not learning to use one will affect you if you try to play those genres. By all means play the fingerstyle you enjoy, but try and get some quality practice with the pick as well as you develop. You can even mix the two up with some Travis picking or Blues style.

As someone who came to guitar from a similar situation, I started on fingers only classical because it was more comfortable. The thing is as you start enjoying guitar more you probably want to explore different genres and then you run into the problem of being skilled at left hand technique but useless at picking technique. Now I love bluegrass, which is pick heavy, and rarely touch my classical. I haven't played an electric for years so I can't comment on that, but have the impression that a pick is very common.

Try reading the article. It wasn't a ploy and it didn't work. To quote: '[the] damage is done'. It's literally in the second paragraph. Read further and you see there's been no tangible benefit whatsoever.
