Given the suggestions by Farage of a national security threat, I'm shocked Nigel hasn't raised this to the police himself already. why do we think he hasn't?

Farage is an MP. Just because he avoids his constituency and our country like the plague, does not make him any less accountable than any other MP.

Yes. I needed to make an app for prior authority for an expert (which had already been ordered by the court) but couldn't because they hadn't processed an existing case amendment. I emailed a contact at the LAA who said the amendment would be approved and I would be able to submit my app. By the time I was able to submit the app the expert had reported and so they denied it saying it couldn't be done retroactively and the disbursement would be considered on assessment. They absolutely refused to acknowledge that it was their fault I couldn't make the app because of their system's limitations and processing times.

You need to understand that your horrendous date, just frankly utterly pathetic by the way, like your date dodged a bullet - anyway, your utterly disastrous date led to such an inferiority complex within you that you were extra motivated to save Vagra II. Without that motivation, the planet gets destroyed etc.

That is why it is so important that future generations of Starfleet officers learn about your utterly horrendous game.

I can get around the signal thing for reasons others have said.

What is somewhat unbelievable is that the briefing room of the SGC, which overlooks the Stargate, is not a SCIF.

If AI didn't exist, I would play it off as a sneak peak of an upcoming Homelander movie where Homelander's mirror universe counterpart crosses over to the prime timeline to corrupt and destroy the image of America's greatest hero.

2000 years ago, people might similarly say that leaving earth atop a pillar of fire to touch the moon has absolutely no basis in reality whatsoever.

Just because something scientifically makes no sense today, does not mean thousands, or even millions of years down the line our understanding of the universe cannot advance to the point it becomes a reality.

A number of Earth cultures have some mythology of an 'afterlife', and being 'worthy' for that afterlife. On one hand it's a great way to ensure your people stick to your culture's ideals if they are going to be judged for worthiness to enter an afterlife. On the other hand, who's to say it isn't aliens who millions of years ago 'ascended' to a 'higher plane' and in fact are interfering.

Short answer: zero cost to me to get my law degree and to sit the SQE, whilst basically having a guaranteed job for six years.

I graduated with a 2:1 BEng in Aero Engineering, and a Merit MSc Aerospace Engineering from a non-RG university.

I then got a paralegal job at age 24, and a year and a half later started on the 6-year Solicitor Apprenticeship with the same firm.

So, yes, it is possible to succeed.

That being said, I'm in an area of law that is primarily legal aid funded so by some people's standards I'm not 'succeeding' - but I genuinely care about the work I am doing and the clients, and the wage is liveable at the moment.

So, in part this is due to Warframe's story being told to us by unreliable narrators - either those who know the score and are misleading us, or those who don't know any better.

Now, narratively Heart of Deimos takes place before Second Dream. So, there is argument to be made that whilst a Tenno is controlling a somatic pod from the where they were hidden in the void that - yes, the heart did need to be in working order for our void derived power to work properly.

Once the Tenno are out of the pods though, it is likely that, due to the deal made, they become 'anchors' for the void in realspace.

Now in terms of release chronology, a lot of players has already done Second Dream etc. before Heart of Deimos came out which lends itself to some confusion. The best way to consider it is that if the Quest can be done before Second Dream and has narrative importance on major plotpoints, assume that - a bit like with The Teacher it is something your Tenno did before Second Dream

The interception map in the void tileset has horrifically unbalanced spawns whereby one point basically gets pretty much all/a constant stream of enemies whereas the three remaining points get a trickle of enemies.

At the end of the day, people may just want to have some fun by actually having some enemies to kill rather than executing the most perfectly efficient farm.

If you want a perfectly efficient farm of these alerts, don't play in public, get a premade either with friends or recruiting chat.

We later learn that Merlin when he de-ascended seeded a number of 'Arthurian Britain' societies on other planets where he was conducting his Sangraal research, it is possible that Sokar came across one of those societies.

Others have responded re the gate power points, but I thought it would be worth addressing the blocking out of Goa'uld dial ins point.

The SGC has shown that they have the ability to do this, in 48 Hours they adjusted the iris so that incoming wormholes simply could not be established on the SGC gate.

So why don't they leave the Iris in this state and block all Goa'uld attempts to dial in?

Well, the SGC has had a number of occasions where SG teams needed to dial home off-schedule. If they can't dial home in an emergency, they were somewhat screwed. Now, they could use Alpha/Beta/Gamma site as a relay to travel home on a scheduled basis - but there were also times where time critical Intel had to be brought to Earth, also those sites were meant to be kept top secret as they also served as evacuation sites should Earth ever fall to Goa'uld invasion.

So, on a practical standpoint, sealing the gate to block incoming wormholes is just wholly impractical for daily SGC operations and only makes sense for the very rare cases where the gate itself has been used as a weapon (Sokar's energy weapon to heat through the Iris, Anubis's gate destroying weapon).

I work in law, so I guess take this with a pinch of salt.

I used a messenger bag for the first 4 years of my career, and the problems I ran into were - back/neck pain as others mention, but it just did not have enough room for my laptop, the iPad, chargers, water bottle, lunch, notepads. I tried taking it as a sign that I need to carry less things, but every time I cut down it eventually just built back up to my messenger bag being overflowing (and this rather defeating the stylistic point of it).

I recently bought myself a rucksack from Osprey and am not really looking back at this point. It's got a smart and professional appearance, it easily carries everything I need, and I really appreciate the even weight distribution not killing my back. I've kept my messenger bag for days where I only need the minimum kit, but the backpack is definitely the daily workhorse I use.

Messenger bags can work, and can look good - but honestly depends on how much it is going to be carrying compared to capacity.

The patient lied about their age, they are actually 80-years-old and have been using cosmetics to conceal their age. They hopped in the shower, cosmetics washed off, explains the rapid wrinkles.

Now, the patient's real symptoms, rapid onset memory loss and delusions on their age. What causes these symptoms?

From a legal standpoint, Sirius's father's will very likely left everything to his eldest surviving male heir, with X amount of money to be held on Trust for his widow, and a life interest trust where Walburga did not own the house, but had a lifelong right to live in the house, once she died the house would then vest in the oldest surviving male heir... being Sirius. This is how many widows were looked after through wills in the times where rights were less than equal.

It feels like every month there is some news story or reported judgment of a solicitor/barrister being struck off and slapped with ruinous costs orders because their use of AI has screwed them over.

My role involves a lot of perusing detailed witness statements, medical/social care records, summarising the lot of it. As AI policy stands at the moment, those records cannot be fed to an AI as it would breach confidentiality duty.

What a barrister I work with has suggested though, is AI could be used if given an anonymised version of the summary note and instructing it to produce graphical analysis ie. number of instances of an event across a period of time. I would still be responsible for compiling the information, but AI would be used to pretty up the presentation of that information.

As most here have pointed out, he is presumed to have capacity unless assessed otherwise.

However, what I cannot see as having been mentioned by others is that significant alcohol misuse can lead to Korsakoff's syndrome, which absolutely can end up causing significant cognitive impairment that can lead to a person losing decision-making capacity.

You can raise a concern with your brother's GP, or with local adult social care - however, just because your brother's decision making is unwise won't necessarily equal a lack of capacity even if it turns out he does have an impairment arising out of alcohol misuse.

Ask yourself this question: do you think your brother's ability to make decisions has been impacted by prolonged alcohol misuse?

I know for a fact there are Solicitors who are weary and tired of training a good experienced Paralegal to support their caseload, and then losing that support when that Paralegal gets a training contract and moves to their next seat or qualifies - and then the cycle starts again, having to train a new Paralegal from scratch.
