    The ads are getting more infuriating. I'm taking the approach of closing the video and reopening if the ad is too long or too many. Rinse and repeat multiple times if necessary

    Can the next General Election be delayed beyond Jan 2025?

    Dug in to this with ChatGPT, which thinks that there is no established provision for how to handle those types of disruptions to an election, and that the decision on how to proceed ultimately would be with the current Prime Minister. Assuming that this type of severe incident doesn't prevent...

    So err, What’s Happened to the Princess of Wales?

    Too bad she's actually been with me on a different island all this time :D If she decides to move on you might still have a chance ;)

    Can the next General Election be delayed beyond Jan 2025?

    Yeah, I didn't really address those as I would just be repeating what others already said that minor and localised issues are not going to block a general vote. Anything that stops everyone from getting out and voting would have to be a major national catastrophe

    Can the next General Election be delayed beyond Jan 2025?

    To stop an election entirely you are basically looking at what could bring the entire nation to a halt at little to no notice? To me this would have to be serious emergencies, such as being invaded by a foreign army, nuclear attack, widespead insurgency, rioting and such like. In those...

    Can the next General Election be delayed beyond Jan 2025?

    Even if an election was triggered in the midst of covid I'm sure it would have gone ahead as planned. Agreed that none of the main parties inspire any confidence, I'm hoping that this will be one of the last ones before freshly built AI overlords usher in star trek / culture style techno-communism

    Why you SHOULD be using Firefox

    Chrome usage is significantly over-represented due to it being the default on android devices and desktop is overall a much smaller share of browser use than it was. On my home pc I've been firefox for a long time, but at work it's either Chrome or Edge - a lot of our internal tools simply...

    USB Floppy Drive

    Could try running chkdsk /r A: (or whatever drive letter is assigned) from windows command prompt. Also check in device manager whether windows is happy about the drive - driver may need updating. Your old pc floppy drive will use an IDE connector. If your current motherboard has an IDE...

    Laptop/Lounge PC/Hybrid idea

    Rather than going for a wired display, have you considered a 'headless' solution, where you stream the tower display to a handheld device. Depending on your budget there are now quite a few decent options to balance interface and screen quality, some are best used as simple passthrough but...

    Baldur's Gate 3

    I haven't picked up BG3 yet (I'm cheap and willing to wait as long as it takes for sales..), but this comment go me intrigued on how to approach playing the game. Is it correct to say that BG3 is first and foremost an RPG where I could 'yolo' through the story based on how I want to behave...

    How do people afford to work in expensive areas of the country?

    Plenty of remote and hybrid roles depending on the sector. I live in Newcastle and work is hyrid remote, in London 3 days a week (my choice, could go fully remote). It's more cost effective for me and my family to live in the North (large 3 bed townhouse with 50% mortgage paid off after 7...

    *** Elden Ring ***

    Thanks, that makes sense. So in the early game is it a normal part of the gameplay loop to be constantly needing to return to a site of grace to rest up after most fights? I've been pumping HP each level to improve my survival rate, but will also need to improve endurance as well for better...

    *** Elden Ring ***

    I'm enjoying wading through the environment but the combat or something isn't clicking. I tried various classes based on what sounded cool (dual wield sword guy on cloth, glass cannon?) and kept eating dirt to what seemed to be trash mobs. Switched to a warrior (knight?) with plate armour and a...

    What are the 30 year old plus gamers playing?

    47 and playing Elden ring badly. I'm trying to persevere, but combat hasn't started making any sense to me and i feel like the mobs i defeat are by luck and button mashing rather than skill
