@nippon_ukuraina I never understand this mentality. For me, the whole point of travelling is to experience a different culture, not to replace theirs with my own.

Dear Climate change deniers . Today UK broke it's May temperature record by 2C. The UK has temperature records going back 350 years and in all that time we have never come close to this May temp. Without climate change this temp in UK would be impossible

Nothing felt more next-gen than seeing Ridge Racer running on a PS1 for the first time. That transition from 2D to 3D was magical. What early 3D game made your jaw drop? #PS1 #PlayStation

@MrLukeGeorge EU has already said that if UK rejoins it would not have the voting rights or rebate deal as good as before. There's no point.

HUAWEI's Tau (τ) Scaling Law is a new principle for guiding the future development of semiconductors. By 2031, HUAWEI's high-end chips are expected to feature a transistor density equivalent to 14 Å (1.4 nm) processes. Watch the livestream to learn more! twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Sikh's volunteered in the 100's of thousands for the defense of Empire and due to this scarfice during WW1 and 2 were allowed to practise their religion freely, on average SIkhs are well integrated, but as times change the native population can always excersise their freedom to change laws as they deem necessary

This case strikes me as extraordinary, both for the police behaviour and judge's apparent direction to the jury. Carrying an 8" knife is illegal with very limited exceptions which do not include "self defence". The Criminal Justice Act makes that plain, and the Sentencing Council says in terms "carrying a knife or other weapon for protection is not a lawful reason. " The Attorney General should be reviewing both this case and the case of the two teenage rapists ASAP. I don't know what is happening with our justice system at the moment, and I am not alone in that concern. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@BillOBr83866629 @Huawei This uses more energy, not less. And it still doesn't overcome the problem of successive die shrinks getting less stable and less viable yields.

@JohnCleese As an atheist, my concern over a religion that specifies death for apostasy (and carries it out in the modern era) is perfectly rational.

The right to criticise a religion is part of British culture Criticism of Islam is Islamoscepticism, not Islamophobia Phobias are irrational fears, like arachnophobia- the fear of spiders Or in the case of Islam, fear of dogs and pigs Calling scepticism (or criticism) a phobia is a misuse of the English language An infidel's fear of being beheaded is not irrational
Laurence Fox@LozzaFox

We need to remove meaningless words such as “Islamophobia” from our beautiful and ancient language. We need to be as rigorous in mocking the term as the midget dictator @SadiqKhan is about making sure no one can reply to his tweets.

@MichaelAArouet Having a ration allocation for an item you don't want is wasteful and pointless, and feeds a black economy in bartering items.

Can someone plead explain why so many people still take socialism seriously? It has always failed badly, every single time leading to bitter misery and poverty. No exceptions. Why is it still so popular? Don’t people pay attention in history classes?

@BillOBr83866629 @Huawei It doesn't really work any more because it hasn't really been possible to half the transistor size in that time. Below 5nm we start to run into electron jumping issues. Most of the commercial chip progress since 2009 has been in parallel processing, dedicated cores and so on.

Who started World War I? Not Muslims. Who started World War II? Not Muslims. Who killed about 20 million of Australia’s indigenous people? Not Muslims. Who dropped the nuclear bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan? Not Muslims. Who killed more than 100 million Native Americans in South America? Not Muslims. Who killed about 50 million Native Americans in North America? Not Muslims. Who kidnapped more than 180 million Africans as slaves from Africa, of whom about 88% died and were thrown into the oceans? Not Muslims. First, we must define terrorism or understand how terrorism is viewed by non-Muslims. If a non-Muslim commits a terrorist act, it is called a crime; but if a Muslim commits it, it is called terrorism. We must stop dealing with double standards.

@Heavenly_Race_ Exasperation is my main emotion. Its not worth wasting my time explaining to people whom I know from last time explaining with them that they won't understand and will be indifferent at best, resentful at worst.

Once you hit about a 20-point IQ gap, communication starts to completely break down. It's not that the lower IQ person is "stupid" (although that can often be the case) or the higher one is arrogant, it's that you're literally operating on different systems. A 20 point difference (roughly 1.3 standard deviations) means: Vocabulary and abstraction levels diverge sharply. What feels like crystal clear logic to one side sounds like vague, pretentious word salad to the other. Jokes land flat. Metaphors get taken literally. Complex cause and effect chains get simplified into "this good, that bad." Different time horizons and pattern recognition. One person thinks in months or years and sees systems, the other is locked into days or immediate rewards. Trying to explain second order effects feels like speaking another language. Also, processing speed and working memory gaps. The higher IQ person is already three steps ahead, getting impatient. The lower IQ person feels talked down to or overwhelmed. Both walk away frustrated. Both have wasted each others time.

@JeremyVineOn5 No. We've repeatedly voted no to the currency. Any attempt to force it on the public is going to inflame an already volatile situation.

Would you swap the pound for the Euro in order to rejoin the EU? It's a condition demanded by an EU chief after Labour challengers Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham put a return to the bloc back on the agenda. Is scrapping sterling a price worth paying?

I’ve looked into this very minimally, so I’m genuinely asking. Why are people opposing data centers so hard? My gut feeling is it’s hippies opposing nuclear power 2.0, but I’m willing to be convinced otherwise.

@HaileyEira I'm inclined to agree, which is why I love the 90s era Saturn, large tech leap, lots of experimentation, and creators got the freedom to make passion projects. Today we have amazing hardware, but its rife with shovelware and design by committee.

there will never be another shooter that hits like halo or gears of war. not just because the industry fell off, but because they were revolutionary and everything around them aligned. new consoles, new tech, new ideas. new culture. lightning in a bottle. that era can't be repeated.

It’s been 8 years since I lost @Totalbiscuit and I’m not doing very well. I appreciate everyone’s patience with me as a pseudo content creator and as an indie developer. I’m doing the best I can and it’s not enough, but I promise I’m trying. 🤍

Today we think of everyone affected by the attack in Manchester on the night of the 22nd May 2017, and particularly the families who lost loved-ones, knowing that every single day of the nine years since has been hard for them. We are still at their side and always will be. 🐝
