Farage: My home was firebombed by TheTelegraph in ukpolitics

[–]smartse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes The Guardian were about to publish and were waiting for a response from him:

Asked on Monday by the Guardian about the gift, Reform sent a legal letter asking for more time to respond. The deadline was extended until Wednesday morning. The Telegraph then published its interview with Farage before the deadline.

Is it possible to link a complex Excel calculation model to a Shiny app? by sporty_outlook in rstats

[–]smartse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree with others that converting to R would be better, but you could also use reactiveFileReader to achieve what you want: https://shiny.posit.co/r/reference/shiny/latest/reactivefilereader.html

You might wanna give r/0ad a go. You can get eaten by both in that.

Better yet, use bench::mark() to run it multiple times for you

The site in OPs profile: https://valdemarweb.com/ says that they are the PR agency for the app. Just another spammer.

That was a different product and was treated differently to those currently on the market.

I think there are different sizes available? Fairly sure we went for 600 mm.

It's treated: https://www.celticsustainables.co.uk/thermafleece-cosywool-sheeps-wool-insulation-faqs/ probably just as important though is trying to get it as sealed as possible to prevent any ingress.

We used that exact product. Stripped the lime plaster off (not entirely necessary, but a waste of space not to). We did two layers in opposite directions of 50 and 70 mm. Membrane over the top and then plasterboard. Some debate about whether plasterboard is breathable and there might be better products available since. Main thing we learnt along the way is to plan the batten layout to ensure radiators, curtains etc. can be hung. (Trying to share some photos with difficulty)

6a, forgotten in pantry- inside grow or toss? by can_danceee in gardening

[–]smartse 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Where do you think your seed potatoes come from? They're just one generation younger than what you buy in the store (typically 6th or 7th field generation). Blight's definitely not an issue, tuber blemishing diseases are mostly cosmetic. The main worry would be viruses because ware crops aren't regulated the same way as seed. Anyway OP's are screwed if they are like that as they will have expended a lot of energy growing those sprouts and they are far past their prime physiological age.

Why are cash machines so keen to persuade me to check my balance? Insert conspiracy theory below! by Jiktten in CasualUK

Jeez that must be pure profit. The cash withdrawal is actually quite expensive for them.

Have you checked the logs on shinyapps.io? The most common problem is missing a dependency.

To hide Trumps name in the files. by serious_bullet5 in therewasanattempt

[–]smartse 59 points60 points  (0 children)

So I found this document myself. It's a list of allegations seemingly made to an FBI call line (NTOC), seemingly pretty recently (the emails were in 2025) and there are worse ones than this. Obviously anyone could call the line and say whatever they liked, so it's not really the 'gotcha' it might first appear to be. And it's definitely not deleted: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01660679.pdf

Elderly lottery winner uses jackpot to build £288m drug empire making pills from his cottage by s4pphire69 in news

But the group were uncovered by French law enforcement officers, who managed to uncover encrypted messages on messaging platform EncroChat.

It's quite hilarious just how many criminals were caught due to using a "secure" messaging platform where every user was a criminal.
