From memory, I think the road bends just before the gates so if you missed the bend you would end up driving into the gates.

Incidentally, the grounds are surrounded by an anti tank fence made out of old railway line yet there is a public footpath through the grounds across the driveway.

It might be that the default for Windows is to sleep rather than do a full shutdown. Whenever Linux looks at a Windows partition it looks corrupted. When windows starts up again it's inconsistent as some of the data was in the sleep image.

I don't know how valid this is, but I heard county and district councils use government bonds to secure more favourable loan terms. When Liz Truss upset the UK bond market the cost of borrowing rose as the value of their bond assets dropped. The county council where I live is now spending as much on servicing debt as it is on fixing roads. (Roads, although not the most important responsibility of local government, are a visible indicator of their capability.)

This seems like a playbook answer to a question about a subject that's of little immediate importance to his administration, but of some importance to a minority in both Argentina and Britain. Basically saying to his electorate "we haven't forgotten" and to Britain "we're not going to do anything".

Browsers made the Internet usable for the general population. The Internet as we know it would have remained a network for academia, governments and large corporations. Smartphones would not have been developed. Without a reason for everyone's homes to be connected to a high speed network, TV would remain the remit of cable and satellite broadcasting - no streaming services.

From this photo, this woman looks like the baddie from Men In Black 2.

About 10 years ago they provided medical data from the samples. I used 23 And Me too confirm that a health problem I'd recently been diagnosed with was hereditary. At the time I remember being asked if my sample could be used to aid the type of research the OP talks about and I agreed to it.

A couple of years ago, I think 23 And Me was bought out by Virgin Healthcare, at that point I asked them to destroy all my data was worried about it being used to increase the cost of or preclude health insurance.

For me it's good, let's me leave emails on the server so my desktop can read them too. Let's me reply below or above and compose in ascii. Doesn't impose ways of working I don't want.

I'm not sure about the quality of the welding near the waterline.

I wonder what made youTube decide to fix this loophole? These days the vast majority of people use phone apps or smart TVs to watch. The number of people using Firefox plus ad blockers must be quite small and it'll be a constant effort to keep updating their anti ad block algorithms.

Sorting communities by instance would be helpful, it would also be good to have a list of which instances are blocked by my instance and which are available.

Tenet (lemmy.ml)
submitted 10 months ago by JustCopyingOthers@lemmy.ml to c/movies@lemmy.ml

Finally watched Tenet. After all the hype and discussion on Reddit when it was released, I was expecting some sort of neigh-on impenetrable profound piece of cinema, but it's just Primer with action sequences.

Bay Leaf Bush (lemmy.ml)

Has anyone tried growing A Bay Leaf plant as a bush? I'd like something about 4' / 1.2m tall. I'm in the south of the UK. The location won't get direct sunshine for much of the day and very little at all in the late autumn, winter.
