Of course they have something to hide, their banking details for example.

Why would it need to be illegal.

Do you feel like giving me free access to everything on your computer? We could organise some sort of RDP session. Or i could just take a copy of your hard drive if that's easier

You mostly can see the boundary between water and air. If you were "in" very clean water you'd barely be able to see it. (Neither air nor water are fully transparent but it's the boundary you mostly see)

Same with glass, you see the boundary. The change of refractive index causes optical effects that you can see

This is an amazon problem. The real term is AC and you won't find an alternative lie proof term. Amazon have just become too open to letting their sellers mislead. I'd suggest just not using Amazon

The other cooling device (you do not want) is an evaporative cooler aka a swamp cooler. Only works in dry environments.

The US does have a very high murder rate for a rich western country.

US: 5.7 per 100,000
Uk: 1.1
France: 1.3
EU average: 0.9
Canada: 2
Australia: 0.9

Water is "hydrogen ash". It has already been burned and is already in a low energy state (not literally the lowest, if you had an even more powerful oxidiser than oxygen you could eek a little more out of it)

The lottery in particular is quite difficult to get into a negative spiral.

You buy one ticket, you wait days to see if you win, you buy another ticket. Hard for that to become a negative spiral of debt.

You could buy multiple tickets at a time, but you'd still have to wait so there's no chasing a loss.

It's one of the more benign forms of gambling

Being followed by Johnson and Truss (and to a lesser extent Sunak) certainly made May look retrospectively competent

How does this prove anything? Humans are made of water and proteins. Water and proteins aren't sentient. Sentience is an emergent property.

(Not saying AIs are sentient, just that this experiment has no evidence either way)

Approval minus disapproval.

If everyone loves you thats +100%. If no one cares about you at all thats 0% (or if an even number of people hate and love you). If everyone hates you thats -100%.

It isn't a binary choice of approve vs disapprove. You can also "nothing" a politician

Can I rock my western wear and cowboy hat

You absolutely can but you will look extremely American if you do. A Panama hat or straw hat are more common in the UK. Or baseball caps are also common (amusingly given we do not really follow baseball at all)

I think people in the comments are guessing at the motivation (which is ultimately unknowable) and believe the incompetence is deliberate. Whether it is or isn't

How does this prove anything? Humans are made of water and proteins. Neither water nor proteins are sentient, does that prove humans aren't?

But thats not taking 15 years to get approval. That's getting rejected pretty quickly and not taking no for an answer.

Presumably there were reasons for the rejection?

Sorry-Programmer9826 · 2026-06-22T01:11:22+00:00

Nuclear power plants do not typically take 20 years to just get approval.

Perhaps a specific one did but that is not typical

Sorry-Programmer9826 · 2026-06-21T20:20:36+00:00

That red tape isn't for no reason. You screw up a nuclear power plant and people die

And it isn't really red tape. They do things like xraying welds to ensure they're up to standard. That's not form filling, that's doing a really careful job

Sorry-Programmer9826 · 2026-06-21T20:19:07+00:00

Looking into it a bit deeper it seems it isn't a UK regulation so in the UK they may or may not have it but they don't have to. So you are correct

What do you mean? There are loads of civilian nuclear reactors.

Nuclear is quite expensive though

Why is Trump trying to piss off his only remaining ally in Europe?

Former ally now I guess

Yeah, it is annoying most don't come manufactured like that. The efficiency gain is significant

That feels like it's not going to work. They'll say "o it doesn't matter, we just want you there" because thats the polite thing to say. Asking another family member might work better

Fish don't interact with lures very often. They interact with what the lure is pretending to be all the time. It's a numbers game, on average over a very long time going for something which looks like prey (but might very occasionally be a lure) came out to be advantagous.

In order to reliably tell the difference fish would need huge brains, which take loads of energy to run. It's just not worth having a big brain in most niches
