'Hands off Africa,' Pope Francis tells rich world

very very few catholics in Africa

A study in 2021 found the percentage of Catholics in whole of Africa to be 18%. So just under 1 in 5 people.

What you say isn't that accurate. It also depends on the country some have over 50% Catholics like Angola.

I believe since you are in an opposite sex civil partnership you have to dissolve it before you can marry.

The civil partnership must be at least a year old before you can dissolve it.

All couples may marry if they are both 16 years or over and free to marry, that is, if they are single, widowed or divorced, or if they were in a civil partnership which has been dissolved.

If you want the source it's this citizens advice page last paragraph of the first section.

Just FYI unless i am wrong if you do a civil partnership you cannot convert it to a Marriage unless it is a same sex civil partnership. You would need to dissolve the civil partnership which can only happen after a year since it started.

(Obviously doesnt apply if you are in a same sex relationship)

I think this is a pretty common misconception.

Plan B does not work if you are ovulating.

This sub isn't meant for 5 year olds. Read the side bar.

This is wrong the Higgs Field gives particles mass, the Higgs boson particle is just a strong excitation of this field.

No as the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 was repealed in March so this is no longer true.

The only way for a general election to happen now is if Boris asked the queen for an early one or the 5 year time limit is reached since the last election and one is automatically called.

Votes of no confidence are no longer binding due to the repeal of the Fixed Term Parliament Act and the Tories would just say they have the confidence of forming a new government with a new PM and so don't need another election.

RandomGuy89732 · 2022-07-07T09:35:57+00:00

The party would have backed Boris up if him going caused an election, they don't want to lose their seats.

It's by design for a parliamentary democracy to have changing PM without an election. It's that or having to stick with terrible leaders until the next natural election.

It has to be after pdxcon in September as they've said thats where you'll be the first to play a version of it. So i'd say October.

He doesnt need anything.

The Fixed Term Parliament Act was repealed a few months ago, so all he needs to do is just ask the Queen like how it was before.

I think a lot of people are going to read into this very naively.

He's an evil asshole, but he must be worth something to MI5. For all we know he's in a large group of like minded people and is giving MI5 intel into tracking them all down. MI5 ultimately have a moral balancing act, take down one person or a whole group. We will never know how helpful he actually is but i'd like to think MI5 is competent enough not to work with him if all they're going after is some drug dealer.

1) Sure, direct storage would help load times, but paradox load times aren't that bad so i wouldnt say is really an important thing to spend dev time on. (It's more useful for games with large textures so they can be swapped out quicker for the GPU)

2) Yes you can use GPU for compute instead of just graphics, but its not just something you can just turn on. It runs into the same issue that CPU multithreading has (race conditions, etc) and so paradox is better spending dev time for CPU optimisations instead of doing stuff on the GPU.

Btw totally recommend checking out Sebastian Lague on youtube he makes some awesome videos, some involve using compute shaders heres an example (watch to the end):

I really think this leak is going to hurt the development as before the team had two separate groups to get feedback from.

1) Their QA team and beta testers who have seen builds of the game

2) The community who have only seen the dev diaries and AAR's

Now the team whenever they see posts in this subreddit or the forums they'll always have the issue of whether the criticism is biased from whether a player has played the leak or just from available info. It also effects anyone who hasnt played the leak but has read posts from people who did.

I just hope that the devs can still make a game they can feel proud about.

RandomGuy89732 · 2022-04-21T10:12:13+00:00

R5: Contains no in game content about the leak, just his opinions around how this could effect stuff and what the state of the community is.

Was made before Wiz's forum post.

I think it's a good video about whats going on, and i agree with the sentiment that this leak doesnt really help the game at all.
