‘Better’ is a subjective judgement - for me the answer is absolutely not, I’ll always prefer a real physical book.

For others the answer will be yes, and for yet others it’ll be maybe or sometimes.

There’s no objectively true answer to the question though.

That’s disgusting, but not so much the dirty dishes, as the idea that he thought it just wasn’t his job to ever do them. Jesus Christ…

Good for you for holding firm! 😁👍

Only for travellers with the Mrs Grace L Ferguson Airline (and Storm Door Company)

I’m not saying there’s nothing dodgy about this because the 3 images with pink in them are clearly IMO designed to trick the eye into seeing nudity which isn’t there…

But that red X is the X men logo: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:X-Men-logo-comics.png

It’s similar to the one you posted, but that one has white edges to the black lines, whereas the one in your pic does not.

Very weird though.

It’s a sailboat!

War, war and more war.

Oh you’re in for a treat!

Who’s on First?

If they pay to power it with sustainable energy then it doesn’t. Simple as that. Energy use is really not a problem.

It is if doing so means taking up existing capacity in sustainable energy.

If they were always adding new sustainable capacity specifically for their data centres, that would be one thing, but if all they do is pay for the use of existing capacity, that potentially just pushes the issue down the road a bit.

If/when there’s enough capacity to supply all homes and businesses then this issue would disappear, but I don’t know how close that is.

Agreed on the capitalism thing, by the way, plus the points about stolen IP.

Ghostbusters on C64. Love that game to this day.

Not Vitas Gerulaitis though.

No Man’s Sky, but without any other players. More or less how I play it anyway 😁

Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition on the MegaDrive

Red Dead Redemption 2

EA FC/FIFA/whatever

Tetris

First thing I’d do is mourn my now-never-conceived kid. Then… dunno… Have a nap, maybe.

Ha, true. Having never seen any of it, it was nice to no longer feel I was missing out.

26 characters? Perfect!

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz it is! And I’ll use it for everything!

Counter counterpoint: The Wire, season 4

You’re using all 3 of the shells, right?

Yep, it was 😁

I had that stuck to my desk at work for years. And I haven’t even opened the link yet to see if it’s the one I think it is.

True, but they can’t literally stop a law happening until it is written to suit them. Figuratively, maybe through influence, pressure, money, etc - but not as an official, formal thing.

Given the way the US has been recently, I’m willing to admit that there may be some benefit to having a leader in some position of power that had been there a long time, and has, more or less, been training for the responsibly since birth.

That’s an argument I’ve often heard, in favour of monarchy - “Would you prefer a President Blair/Johnson/Farage?”

It’s a fair point, but they never have an answer for what would happen with a King Blair/Johnson/Farage.

With a president (or any other democratic system) you can, at least in theory, have a say in who represents the country. As it is we in the UK are stuck with a mind-meltingly wealthy, influential and unaccountable family who have extremely questionable members and histories.

They influence laws to benefit their own ends, they shield abusive behaviour and individuals, and they do it all in the name of maintaining a tradition that fundamentally says that some people are simply “better” than others.

Monarchy is just repugnant to me - and not just the British Monarchy, the whole concept.
