The only thing I can assume you’re alluding to is when the Russians took control of Chernobyl which is not an active power station and didn’t result in a radiation leak.

I’m just imagining putting on a sock, and instantly getting a hole in it.

Hasn’t ever been an attack against nuclear power station, I can’t think of one

The thing about houses all the medical cases are real. None of the rest of it is real that’s drama but the basis of the medical cases are all actual things that genuinely happened. Some of the details may have been changed for the purposes of the story but none of them are impossible medical situations.

Isn’t it a teaching hospital though? I thought the whole point was that it was one of the few places House could actually work because he would cost every other hospital too much money.

Now you just tell people that it was stolen from a murder victim. But it’s alright because they had a really long life together before that happened. Then it’s okay.
- Comment on Anon shops for diamonds 1 day ago:
Diamonds are really hard but there’s other things that are pretty much up there. Unless you’re planning on repeatedly punching sharpened graphite spikes with no gloves on wear isn’t really a problem.
- Comment on Anon shops for diamonds 1 day ago:
I’m going the custom route as well I just think if you give them something custom it’s so much more meaningful than just going and buying something that was merely expensive.
Also with a really expensive diamond ring you never want to wear it because you always worried it’s going to get stolen.
- Comment on Anon shops for diamonds 1 day ago:
So don’t buy one. My girlfriend’s will be getting one of those rings made of tungsten. Have you seen them they look amazing. It’s simultaneously looks like something some elvish jewellery merchant made while at the same time looking like it made also activate the halo rings.
A diamond is just shiny.
Of course it’s important to discuss these things with your partner in advance. Whether or not they would be happy with a non-diamond ring depends very much on the person. But it might be worth advocating for them because they look really nice and they are quite expensive but they’re honestly more interesting than the diamond and ethically sourced. There’s no such thing as blood tungsten.

What skin you want because it may be something that you can change if you are on a different skin but I’ve definitely been able to change it so it’s a browser of my choice.

At least in Europe supermarket seem to have stopped selling games entirely. I think they think everyone’s going digital but I would actually like it physical copy.
So now the only place you can buy physical games is to go into JJB sports (scumbag company, do not buy from them) and go to the small Game section.
So it’s become a self-fulfilling prophecy, no one buys physical anymore because it’s such a pain to buy physical so supermarkets are no longer stocking the games because it isn’t profitable but it isn’t profitable because they’re not stocking them.

All I get is the cookie pop-up. But jokes on them because I’m on the duck duck go browser so they don’t get any tracking info.

At least on Android you can configure whether or not apps use their inbuilt webview or just redirect to the proper browser. That feature probably doesn’t exist on iOS because Apple have opinions about customizability, and it’s that you shouldn’t have any.

Well I’m angry that I didn’t hear the misinformation. No one bothered to tell me.
So now the surprise has been ruined, I already know it’s not true.
- Comment on PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC 1 day ago:
I think I’ve turned my PS5 on maybe 30 times since I got it. They just hasn’t been anything released for it that I’ve been interested in basically it’s not been anything released for it.
- Comment on Tommy Robinson says Elon Musk is paying his legal costs as trial begins 1 day ago:
At this point I have no idea what you’re trying to say with any of your comments. All of the words individually make sense and even the sentences are valid, but the end result don’t form into a coherent thought.
- Comment on Tommy Robinson says Elon Musk is paying his legal costs as trial begins 2 days ago:
Billionaires are allowed to live in society, I think it is fair however that we take issue that their attempts to bring about a violent right-wing ultra-nationalist revolution. It sort of feels like they’re taking free will a bit too far.
- Comment on Tommy Robinson says Elon Musk is paying his legal costs as trial begins 2 days ago:
Can we not just bring back the death penalty for this tit. Maybe channel 4 could cover his execution, it seems like they’re sort of content.

Yeah they should add that feature to the British passport.

Well I’m glad we’ve got that sorted. I was concerned the passports wouldn’t get redesigned, I can sleep soundly now.

It is and it’s actually not even recommended best practise to change passwords anymore precisely because of this. It hasn’t been considered best practise since I think around 2016-17 to businesses are really lagging.
If you get governmental contract work and pretty sure not resetting the passwords to often is actually now part of the security requirement but outside of that businesses just do what they think is best regardless of research.

Or just be born into a rich family. Not sure that counts as a skill really.
Been born into a rich family and then murdering your way to your inheritance without getting caught, now that’s a skill.

This is one of those rare occasions where the AI was apparently smarter than the person asking the question. It was smart enough not to remove the white space

Today I had to explain to an a linesman (electrical infrastructure technician) what a website was.
He could not get the concept you could just go to a website and he kept googling stuff which doesn’t work because I wanted him to go to an intranet site

Oh look the criminal and the police had a working relationship. Why am I not surprised.
Will there be an internal police investigation as a result of this, has hell frozen over.
- Comment on Is it me or does it seem like review bombing on Steam has become so much worse recently? 5 days ago:
I think the point is that Chinese review bots are usually trying to dunk on Western games. It seems to be some brilliant new strategy they’ve come up with.
“If we poorly review Western games everyone will buy ours instead”, I’m sure it’ll work brilliantly.
- Comment on Is it me or does it seem like review bombing on Steam has become so much worse recently? 5 days ago:
I don’t even really read the reviews I just look at the aggregate score and if it’s overwhelmingly positive I just assume it’s fine.
I probably go and check the reviews only if it said mixed or negative.
- Comment on Pubs could stay open until early hours in move to boost UK growth 5 days ago:
Not buying cigarettes with almost certainly cut the price, they are by far the most expensive thing on that list. Honestly it’s probably cheaper to have a cocaine addiction. Which I also don’t recommend by the way.
