Same as the Brexit advocates (not in UK).

* sister.

Subtractive notation only works for the previous decade - IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, CM, etc.

Roman numerals just transcribe the state of an abacus 🧮, so IM and ID make no sense. "IM" would be CMXCIX, "ID" CDXCIX.

Mediaeval extensions just made sh!t up.

They can't release files attached to an active investigation. That's why they only became available recently - when DT demanded the case be closed.

He's already announced a new investigation into the same, except only against his political opps.

So expect a lot of material tied up again.

Good view from down there.

Who's going to play <REDACTED>?

Underrated

When I watched it in the cinema, somebody in the back rows loudly screamed when Kirk died.

They experience swear words, so it affects them. They don't directly experience the others¹, so they are not personally affected.

Seems like a form of sociopathic behaviour.

¹ until it's too late.

Stop after Jaka's Story.
Pretend the series finished there, and live a happy life.

Excellent up to Jaka's Story; then the author goes off the rails, and any legacy this comic deserved up till then is lost in his controversy.

Bananaman origin story right there.

On the flip side, at a former employer, it was only discovered during a major reorg that one guy on the payroll had been dead for several years.

Fortunately he wasn't at his desk - although that wouldn't have been inconceivable.

That is just an insult to the dumbed down remake business model, and no doubt will be made illegal by presidential decree outside of the free world.

We did play & run AD&D into the 90s. By that time, it was very much our own game. But this was also part of games clubs - not privately with friends.

We pretty much always played other #ttrpg there. In fact, my first ever game was Traveller in c.78.

But... if they don't encourage people to kick down, they'll start to kick up!

After all the BBC has done for him?
Giving him essentially a permanent seat on any political panel for a decade? Eagerly following his every movement, ones _and_ twos?

Can't they be made to keep their promises just this once?

There is no intelligence in current AI. It doesn't add anything and only outputs something inferior to its input.

If that output is added to the input, you have a downwards spiral.

It can be useful in research; finding disparate correlations. But these need real intelligence to assess.

Trump relies on his victims settling out of court, as none of his cases have legal merit. Instead, he uses his position as leverage to extort settlements.

Somewhere between climate scientists sh!thing themselves, and an administration checking their revenue streams, an "n't" was inserted into this message.

How it it a u-turn?
Did they ever say they were going to raise income tax?
Isn't this just the market speculating poorly, again?

Wealthy don't do "income".

You mean Blue?

Caved and bought an earlier ticket.

Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy was a popular source - the original radio series, of course.

As a reference point, Bob Cratchit's meagre wage, from Dicken's "A Christmas Carol" - a critique of Victorian wealth vs. poverty - would be equivalent to $43,000 pa today.

Are we still not allowed to know anything about Boris Johnson's daughter being made the youngest life peer?

Currently have four hours to kill at Waterloo station
