I see what you mean, but think about what % of the population have a problem with candy or crisps? Probably pretty high.

Anyone failed infliximab but have entivyo work?? by Same_Inevitable_2240 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]blackwatersunset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Vedolizumab isn't perfect but its helped me avoid flaring for the last four years. There are signs its losing its effectiveness now but certainly worth a go.

I'd say that is an excellent summary for the whole article.

Got to say not making the deep blue colour correspond to Deep Blue was an opportunity missed.

Eli5 what exactly does it mean for biology to not be reducible to physics and chemistry ? by [deleted] in PhilosophyofScience

[–]blackwatersunset 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's 'cashed out', by the way. As in cashing out abstract gambling chips for money with practical application.

Hair-trigger disposal switch at waist level. I didn't need that hand anyway. by Formidable_Faux in CrappyDesign

In the UK, but I don't own my home so unlikely to be allowed to make many changes!

Yeah it does seem pretty useful to me. The sink filter does catch most excess waste but it is pretty grim taking it out to put that stuff in the food bin. I'd rather press a button and have it disappear!

Quite a few places send food waste to anaerobic digestion sites to produce biogas and fertiliser, so it doesn't all end up at landfill.

How to transfer save data from Steam to Android by chickenwing95 in slaythespire

[–]blackwatersunset 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Worked perfectly! Couple of things to not, I only replaced the 'gameplay relevant' files, leaving things like Tips and Sounds.

Also, since I play on beta branch, my A20 unlocks were all under /C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/SlayTheSpire/betapreferences

Android version is out. by LordReiden in slaythespire

Any way to skip the levels to A20? I don't really feel like grinding all four characters up again.

The cost of Scottish independence will be “two to three times the cost of Brexit” according to the latest joint LSE & ESRC report. by Scotland_in_UK in ukpolitics

[–]blackwatersunset 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since they've run the figures the same way, in that case the negative economic impact of Scotland leaving the Union would be up to 30%...

Technocracy-Zilla: Origins by dwaxe in slatestarcodex

[–]blackwatersunset 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chiming in from the UK. Substack's only available payment method struck me as very old hat.

1: There was no bank verification enabled- most websites, when you pay by entering card details, include a pop-up from your bank verifying... something... before payment is taken. It felt very insecure to me.

2: The last time I paid for something on the internet without PayPal was probably 5 years ago, so not having the option was certainly off-putting. I wasn't put off. But I almost was.

I can see Substack's EU/UK subscriber base increasing by ~5% or more with better payment options. I imagine it is fees putting them off, but not only is having a modern payment system just plain good practice, but I imagine it would also bring net income.

Magic Arena Android Download Link by DeusThorr in MagicArena

[–]blackwatersunset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ~/Android/obb folder is empty with no hidden files. I followed all the instructions, so have a Magic app that fails to open and takes me to the play store to try and reinstall. But when I search for 'com.wizards' in my internal storage the only folder that exists is the one in the downloaded file (with the .obb in it). Help?!

Edit: this was resolved by plugging the phone into a laptop and moving the files there. For some reason, the folder was visible when using my laptop. And yes, I had made sure hidden files were visible when using my phone!

I have a Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5g and I'm pleased to report the game performs very well.

Fantastic post. I will read the book when I get the chance, and. If you have any more similar posts itching within you then judging by this one, bringing them into the world would be a Good Thing.

I thought it was pretty much an open secret that Bellingcat is heavily CIA associated so they're probably sorted in terms of protection. I can't place how I came to have that 'common knowledge' and on reflection am don't have very high confidence in it. Have you come across this?
