No more noble British tradition than resigning over some nonsense everyone is only pretending to be angry about rather than all of the actually bad things you've done.

Well, except that the whole premise of the prequels is that earth was seeded by aliens, which is the reason for the expedition there in Prometheus

The Battenbergs are cousins, I think. PPOG and his descendants are House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-GlΓΌcksburg

Most of these are fair enough, but the earliest evidence of beer is from the stone age - we have no idea who invented it.

OpenAI is about ten years old so if we can just wait another 8 years all the libertarians will lose interest in it

Wow. Iβ€˜m not sure which part of this is weirder: that they think Starmer’s rep might be worse than theirs, or that they might be right.

They don't even work that well here in Cambridge, from what I hear, despite being both one of the flattest and lowest crime places in the country.

They're usually run by local branches, but probably the budget approval process will tighten up - there may be some marginal ones, but there are a lot in total around the country.

Other CAMRA beer festivals are still successful, though.

The Tory vote increased by only 0.8 percentage points (36.1 to 36.9) - not exactly a resounding endorsement by the electorate. They won lots of seats because the Lib Dem vote collapsed

Pretty sure Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World said the same thing 45 years ago - there's no statistical anomaly, it's just a busy piece of ocean

To clarify, you need to read the panels R->L for plot order, there isn't necessarily a way to do them L->R that works for everything - flip the page reverses everything, rearrange the panels - only works if they are standard boxes on a page format - it's simply easier to just print it Japanese form

It isn't just the text, though, if you flip the art, left is right and vice versa - that won't work for everything
