A couple has been taken into custody after climbing the very top of New York City’s Empire State Building, before getting engaged.
Russian nationals Angela Nikolau, 33, and Ivan Beerkus, 32, unfurled a large banner at the tip of the skyscraper’s needle that read: “When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace.”
It’s not cheaper or more efficient compared to large scale farming

This professor emeritus disagrees.
To begin with, it takes three acres of land for the industrial food system to feed the average American for a year, compared to maybe 5% of that area—or even much less—to feed a person for a year on a balanced diet of garden vegetables. So how is that three acres more efficient?
What did you end up choosing as your replacement?
I have a TV streaming device that needs replaced and I’ve struggled to decide what to replace it with.

I get the impression from your comment you’re under the illusion that Labour are still a left wing party.
Labour have not been left wing since 1995, when they reworded clause 4 of their constitution and reformed into New Labour.
The UK hasn’t seen a left wing government since the end of the Callaghan ministry in 1979. We had Tories after that, New Labour in 1997, Tories from 2010 to 2024, and now more New Labour despite them going back to the old name of just Labour.
Third way politics uses the marketing and “niceness” of the left whilst implementing right wing policies. For example, the modern Labour party claim to support the NHS, while at the same time selling parts and data off to private companies.
Farmers are workers, workers lives improve when left wing parties rule. The only left wing parties with a viable chance at some form of power right now are The Green Party of England and Wales, the Scottish Greens, Plaid Cymru, and the SNP.

Well shit. Nothing apparently. I guess you have dibs on the meaning of this unclaimed word!
What’s it gonna mean?
Why does the state need to count votes quickly? Votes should be counted accurately, not quickly.
Total number of votes cast doesn’t really change anything, because total number of counters and witnesses can also be increased relatively. The USA has a 5 times larger population than the UK but that doesn’t mean it takes 5 times longer to count.
And again, accuracy is more important than speed.
And if, like me, your mental dictionary doesn’t include the word didactic:
didactic
adjective- intended to instruct, esp excessively
- morally instructive; improving
- (of works of art or literature) containing a political or moral message to which aesthetic considerations are subordinated
I love my job. I make a great salary, there’s a clear path to promotion, and a never-ending supply of cold brew in the office. And even though my job requires me to commit sociopathic acts of evil that directly contribute to making the world a measurably worse place from Monday through Friday, five days a week, from morning to night, outside work, I’m actually a really good person.
Let me give you an example…
A suggestion:
Dual boot!
Call the Linux partition “Mom’s speed machine” and the old Windows 8.1 partition “Dad’s slow shitheap”.
Make the Linux partition as easy and intuitive to use as possible. Let the Windows partition rot.
I’m sure dad will come around pretty soon when he sees mom’s sleek setup and he gets a pang of jealousy.
Good luck!
Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.

I don’t think the term “drive”, which you used in the first comment, is generally associated with cycling.
I understand what you’re getting at about using your head, but unfortunately we live in a society that needs to cater to the lowest common denominator.
At 3am, when there’s nobody around, and you’ve slowed down and can see for absolute certainty that’s it’s clear then yeah you could perhaps justifiably run the red light.
But then that concept gets normalised, people start pushing boundaries. Trying it at midnight when there’s still some traffic and pedestrians around. Trying it at 4pm because “it was quiet”. Guess what’s going to happen? Baring in mind how many terrible drivers you witness every single day.
With driving we need to apply Kantian principles.
“I ought never to act except in such a way that I could also will that my maxim should become a universal law.”
Or more simply: “What if everybody did this?”
The purpose of the lights is to remove the requirement for everyone’s judgement at junctions, because human judgement has been shown to often be poor and result in collisions. Yeah, sometimes it may be unoptimised and you have to wait an extra minute, but really, what’s the rush?

All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the sameAnd there’s doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they’re all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the sameAnd they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to schoolAnd the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same
Don’t forget Irish car bombs!
