Your example is good, as it emphasises the bark is a long way away, but for me, personally; the original just seems excessive.

I'll have to see if there's a picture including the garderobe

That's the cross section (circular keep) in the top left corner. But, I originally had the post title as Orford Castle until I'd re-read it a few times!

Yes, I originally had the title as Ordord Castle until I'd re-read it a few times!

It certainly does! I wonder if there's a real life castle they are based on.

This one?

I should say that that's a fairly recent news article talking about the next FSR in development.

As to if we need it ... I don't know, we certainly managed a long time without AI everything!

I hate to say it, but FSR4 is AI powered https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/amd-plans-for-fsr4-to-be-fully-ai-based-designed-to-improve-quality-and-maximize-power-efficiency

What are these endless calls for funding? Do people only vote if they are saturated with adverts?

I will removed about heat.,
I will removed about cold.
I will removed about sunshine,
and about growing old.
I will removed about everything,
inside and out.
And if there is nothing,
Well I'll removed about that.

Very good, I had a go at an alternate ending.

I didn't notice until you mentioned it!

So the top one in a house I don't recognise, and the bottom one on a web ... a black widow or red something ... As you maybe able to tell, I'm not really a spider fan!

All valid points, and I didn't realise the differences in outcomes based on the various counting methods!

That would be complex to explain to many people I'm sure. However, and I'm possibly biased here, there's a whole bunch of systems I don't fully understand (car engines, encryption methods, football tournament knock out rules) but I know they work and tend to accept them and at least understand their limitations and outcomes.

I can totally see how people would reject things they don't understand, and could be easily pushed in to rejecting a new system.

Also I agree that winning an election based on the change could be hard, and perhaps attempting to introduce this change later would work. Though I'm not sure the big parties (labour and conservatives in UK) really want to change a system that works for them!

I have no personal experience of explaining ranked choice.

I can imagine calculating ranked choice vote outcomes is probably pretty labour intensive (without computers).

However people generally understand the concept of how someone comes 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in a race, and I'm sure most people have thought about a ranked list of their favourite movies or football players, so it's not some completely alien concept.

Instead of just choosing who you want to win, you fill out the ballot saying who is your first choice, second choice, or third choice (or more as needed) for each position. https://time.com/5718941/ranked-choice-voting/

That seems pretty simple to me, unless I'm missing something?

And finally whole bunch of countries manage this without any issues ...

Internationally, it is used by voters in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Malta, Northern Ireland and Scotland. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/politics/what-is-ranked-choice-voting-and-where-is-the-system-used/2638554/

Coming from a two party country (UK) the only real issue I see is the fragmenting of power and subsequent need to form endless alliances in parliament. (If I voted for the Greens but the Greens need the the votes of another party and end up doing deals is that really representing my vote..)

I'm not sure where you get that idea M0DESTGOD

Is the person taking the photo thinking about trying to catch and eat me?

Let them eat cake

Both reasons seem fair enough

Looks like slow downs are common https://www.protondb.com/app/359320

One fix that worked for me with Jedi:Fallen Order was to install on the internal drive and not the SD card... I'm not sure if that's always the case though

unidentified anomalous phenomenon.

Anomalous - inconsistent with or deviating from what is usual, normal, or expected : irregular, unusua

Well I guess that distinguishes it from, for example, a drone where they are unsure who's flying it, but they do recognise it as a drone as opposed to some alien craft.

Where are the bedrooms or sleeping area?

It's a Pokémon [not a serious answer]

Why even broadcast the SSID? Basic mistake there!

Just can't trust anyone these days..

"D'ya make her?" Sounds like Jamaica.

As in "did you make her go?"

Looks like he's lugging around a bike or car battery along with the radio set. Must weigh so much!

Now that's my level of bot coding!

Yikes. Is there a name for this?

I didn't know the brimstone could be ground launched. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brimstone_(missile)

How's he enjoying his beer with the visor shut?

And don't forget to update us on the outcome!

The photo and lighting does the name absolute justice

😂 That's Sir Terry, to you, Yankee. 🇬🇧

Or the UK. I think it's USA only. 😐

I'm clearly not understanding something here, but I thought search engines would require loads of space to index all the internet. Just thinking about the ability to search for code on stackoverflow seems like loads already.

Edit:

Found it!

SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled.

Looks very interesting, thanks for commenting about it.

pedestrians

Is usually used to differentiate between car drivers and people walking on the street. It's technically correct, but reads a bit odd! https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/pedestrian

A better word might have been "passerby". https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/passerby

I was trying to make a joke about the character model looking like it had fallen through the floor.

I'm not sure he's digging a hole when he seems to be stuck up to his chest! 😂

But I can take or leave it if I choose.

The UK most definitely recognises a right to self defense.

The law on self-defence allows a person to use reasonable force to defend themselves or another, to protect property, to prevent crime or to apprehend a criminal offender. https://www.stuartmillersolicitors.co.uk/self-defence-laws-guide/

It also has laws covering free speech, and the limitations, such as offensive or hateful language - https://care.org.uk/cause/freedom-of-speech/free-speech-law

section 4 of the Public Order Act 1986 makes it an offence for a person to use “threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviours that causes, or is likely to cause, another person harassment, alarm or distress”. This law also includes language that is deemed to incite “racial and religious hatred” as well as “hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation” and language that “encourages terrorism”.

I'm sure you'd agree in a civilised society there's no need to go around threatening people, or being abusive towards people based on their race, religion, or sexual orientation. After all the US' very foundation was to escape religious persecution!

As for the prevalence of violence in the US vs Switzerland, yeah fair enough. If you can change the underlying culture, good on you! However, a gun will kill a lot of people a lot faster than a car or knife!

There was a series of ISIS videos back around 2014 that featured prisoners of ISIS being executed in orange jumpsuits. https://www.jstor.org/stable/24539201
