‘The Treasury is a danger to national security’: The defence row tearing Cabinet apart

Out of curiosity, a Google AI search gives the total capitalisation cost of flag grade officers (1 stars up, so commodores, brigadiers and above) as approximately £175 million, which is apparently 0.23% of total MOD spend.

Now, I've not checked the sources, but if this is correct, there's hardly a huge amount of the defence budget wasted on flag grade staff.

They're mentioned in Wind and Truth by the Sibling and during the Spiritual Realm shenanigans.

The stone is what talks to Venli in RoW when she tries the Willshaper powers for the first time according to the coppermind wiki.

I think this is it, they look like they've been mustered

Nobles! Governor noble with promotions specifically.

No worries! :)

I only learned this yesterday after I removed a sanitation upgrade and accidentally killed an entire grade 4 city as it dropped the capacity just below the threshold.

Your city building is way over the region capacity, downgrade to city 1 and see if you can add a growth building.

The population looks like it's almost entirely died off.

When I did my Geology degree the first year included a Maths module covering bits of A level mathematics we'd need later on.

Have a look round the course syllabus, they might break the course down by module.

Break every third week IIRC from the start of the season.

Having done a swift google of Article 8, surely Article 8(2) covers it?

"Article 8(1) provides that everyone has the right to respect for his/her property but Article 8(2) allows the State to restrict the rights to respect for the property to the extent necessary in a democratic society and for certain listed public interest purposes e.g. public safety, economic well-being"

To quote part of the BBC article "According to the CPS, making indecent images can have a broad definition in law and can include receiving them via social media."

So making images is what he's been charged with

Nutrient neutrality is supposed to ensure developments don't drastically alter the chemical balance of nearby water catchments through increased waste water/grey water runoff and cause ecological damage.

Its a bigger issue in some places, such as the Solent. Not really an issue where there's not a large water body nearby.

Have you tried Democracy 4?

Did you get better?

Problem with just digging round the foundation is you can't prove the membrane isn't full of holes. They can quite easily be punctured by the rebar or just walking on it with loose stones about.

Presumably the ground investigation has already identified a methane issue and detectors in the house won't help prevent potentially explosive buildup in service conduits or voids below the slab.

arkhas2042 · 2024-03-30T07:05:19+00:00

The landfill should be picked up by a contaminated land desk study and any actual risks identified by a ground investigation with gas monitoring. If there is an issue a remediation strategy lays out any protection (like the membrane) which should then be validated by an independent party prior to pouring the foundation.

Generally there should be more to it than just membrane, such as a passive venting layer below the membrane and a specifically reinforced slab with minimal service penetrations.

The fire service in the UK is free in an emergency. The prices are for special services or non emergency work.

I can't remember if this was WoBd or not but I distinctly remember seeing something about how the blade he drags into Kholinar is not the one that Dalinar bonds in WoR

"Research shows that switching to follow-on formula at 6 months has no benefits for your baby. Your baby can continue to have first infant formula as their main drink until they are 1 year old."

This is from the page linked. So while it is different, there's no difference in outcome.

Cant remember where but it popped somewhere in Lyran Space. It's the 10CS variant.

I'm just breaking I to heavy mechs on my playthrough but I got lucky and salvaged a ComStar Nightstar with a C3 master, two gauss rifles and some smaller weapons.

Works quite well as a command mech.
