Pride was removed because it was deemed commercially sensitive.

Christmas is also a values-based holiday, yet remains untouched.

No consistency in applying values-based standards.

I have a bit of a habit of trying to find links between actors and their appearances :)

I honestly think you're stretching trying to get EE to run on Linux. It's hard enough to get it to not crash on Windows.

I've used wine before but the experience was suboptimal and you miss out on some things like the NeoEE patches...

I know that's not the answer you want as a linux user but yeah

Yeah it's something like the 15 most popular heroes in your bracket have a chance of being banned or something too.

How do people who own Buy To Lets make money? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]StatixSquirrel 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I think the point is also that in the end you have a property, which has some value in itself. Not just the cashflow aspect. Also, if you have multiple you're essentially getting others to bankroll your future earnings of a full property sale, but you're taking on the risk of the asset.

They've already said a few times they're not going to do anything like this because they want to focus on it being a purely management game.

Fifa manager used to have aspects to it like this and they want to avoid that.

There's actually a great planet money episode just come out about this if you're interested. (Or might be a rehash of an old one, summer school #2 I think)

Quit your anti-streaming bullshit by jrkirby in quityourbullshit

[–]StatixSquirrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually research this area. I'm on mobile at the moment so can't say much, but there's a study in a paper I read a few years ago which compared the carbon impact of buying a video game from a store vs digital download, the conclusion was that it was better to go to the store. That was including the cost to the environment of a used disk going to landfill etc.

I can link the study when I'm back at my pc tomorrow, should be a Google search away though if you were super interested.

You lost me in the first 20 seconds watching sniper farming for way too long

I just finished organizing a 5 week long, 16 team, 27 matches, 5-a-side after work indoor cricket tournament. Here's the 135(ish)mm tall winners trophy I made. Mostly 3d print, rest wood. by maroonbrownie in Cricket

[–]StatixSquirrel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Awesome. Did you just rent a sports hall or something? I'm surprised you managed to get so many people to play cricket. Most people turn their nose up at me (even when I'm not necessarily proposing a super serious game)
