“printing” money happens very very often. The US constantly prints money AND increases it’s debt yet the dollar stays strong. You have to remember value of a currency is imaginary, it’s just a contract where we agree X is X and Y is Y.

While yes you can devalue a currency by printing money, you can also increase its value by strengthening the system it’s printed into. If we print money to build and improve, the UK becomes more desirable and therefore it’s currency more valuable despite it’s increased monetary supply.

It’s alot more complicated than Print more worth less. Hell I expected high inflation after COVID due to increased printing, and while inflation did happen, it was not for that reason, it was pure greed.

This is just anecdotal, but as someone who both drives and cycles in the UK, I’d say it’s city dependent. I live in Leeds, go to uni in Leeds and work in Huddersfield. I cycle to uni, cycle to the train station and drive to work (when I can’t get a train for whatever reason). Leeds is getting there, albeit slowly but it’s getting alot better for cyclists. I like the electric bicycle scheme so I can cycle to the station and just leave the bike there. although it shouldn’t be more expensive than getting a bus.

Whilst I am doing a CS degree now, for the last 9 years I was a 5 axis CNC machinist for stone products. I still do It part time as they haven’t found a replacement yet (after a year lmao).

Imagine the size of the lightning port

Xdefiant feels nice

Because how else do they shoot the black folk?

I use Ubuntu on my servers because it just… Works, out of the box I can run my scripts and have no issues 100% of the time. On desktops I used to use SolusOS for gaming as that was the only Linux OS at the time I could comfortably game on without many hiccups.

The difference is people in the UK don’t need guns, there’s no use for them except “in rural areas”. While yeah you can ban swords, the people stabbing people with swords could just as easily switch to kitchen knives . And I don’t know how I’m going to chop my veggies if we go down the road of banning every item people use to kill eachother.

The UK has severe mental health issues due to underfunding of health services. We also have severe poverty growth, we have alot of worsening of of situations for people that we need to address.

Banning the sword does not delete the sword. It will still exist, killing a person with a sword is already illegal and people still do it. It’s a much deeper problem

Yeah I don’t have any issues with you growing your own meat, I bet you take care of them. My issue is with industrial farming, not you.

I used to gut and skin animals my self to eat but I just don’t have to desire to do so anymore, I’m happy with plants.

I was agreeing with you against that thinking, sorry if that wasn’t clear

The vocal minority of any group is delusional

Being proud of yourself for not eating meat doesn’t stop the mass amounts of suffering in the farms though.

I became vegan once someone showed me what it meant to eat meat, had they not done that I’d still be eating animals grown in pens.

Sorry for the amp link,also it’s not the study but a summary of said study

I mean I’m vegan and I’ve got nothing against hunters, like they said we’re animals and animals sometimes eat animals. Most vegans are against animal farming as there is no way to do it humanely on a large scale.

I personally wouldn’t eat a hunted animal, right now but if civilization was to fall it’s fair game.

The bullet also helped

God could you imagine the security risks though, having a physical risk in a network, that would be fun. Limewire on steroids.

I can speak from experience that content delivery is harder than storage. Companies like YouTube tackle the storage issue by having tiered storage levels. Trending content is stored on SSDs, new and often viewed content is stored on harddrives with a caching system similar to optane and archived storage (essentially old videos that very rarely get views) goes on tape storage. It’s really cool, and it allows massive about of storage in a small space, it’s costs alot to implement but because of the tape storage they essentially have “infinite” (it’s not really infinite of course but it’s a problem for next decade not this decade).

Actually the cost issues wouldn’t be the storage it’s self. Storage is pretty cheap, it’s content delivery networks. YouTube is supported by being owned and run by one of the worlds larges content delivery networks. There’s virtually no latency, videos play immediately.

Having millions (potentially billions in YouTube’s case) of people accessing data at once is an immense challenge and YouTube perfected it pretty early on, that’s part of why there’s no competition.

Tabs of what? Chromes ram usage is more of a meme than an actual ram issue, windows will only allow an application to use so much ram depending on ram availability
