Loads fine for me. It's someone sitting in front of a desk with 15 large monitors surrounding them in a semicircle, 3 monitors stacked on top of one another in 5 columns.

There's also the idea that since the system "works" it shouldn't be changed. IIRC Le Guin did some stories on a place called Omelas that explored a similar idea: there's this utopian city, but they chuck a child down a hole to suffer there, which for some arcane reasons is deemed as necessary. Once people learn of this, they either accept it as indeed necessary or (rarely) leave.

A utopia only works if everyone thinks of the same thing as being a utopian society, which people generally just don't.

Netanyahu claims Iran has these missiles, but Iran disputes it. There's also no publicly verifiable evidence that this is true. UK intelligence also does not think Iran has such capabilities.

Besides, Iran has been only weeks away from nukes for 30 years, I'm sure they're only a couple miles off of hitting the UK as well /s.

Even then, I doubt Iran wants to trigger a UK military response to any missiles sent to the mainland.

Eh, I quite enjoyed the first game, and at least it seems Mojang has some plans for the portal at least. I wouldn't be surprised if some variant of what's going to be in Dungeons II will be added to the main game down the line.

Counterpoint: If there's anyone who doesn't promote Windows and actively dislikes it, it's Windows users.

I suggest you look at someone else for reviews because this review is both inaccurate and somehow also blindingly stupid.

To be fair, the media usually does a real shit job of explaining it.

ICBMs are spaceflight rockets, imo it's best to count them. The US hasn't had such large accidents with ICBMs, mostly minor ones.

Even if we exclude those it's not true. The US has sent significantly more people into space than the Soviets did, so NASAs accident rate was lower (hence safer), even if the absolute number of deaths was higher.

Both Michelle and Barack. Why not?

The Netherlands isn't a "fascist" country. Wilders' PVV party is in government with three other parties, none of which are fascist. Before talks could begin they demanded strong protections for the constitution, which the PVV agreed to. They also agreed that the party leaders should not be in the cabinet, which is why Wilders does not hold a position in the cabinet, he's still effectively a "house member" to use a US parallel. It's why the current prime minister (Schoof) is a fairly apolitical bureaucrat and a former member of the PvdA, the Dutch Labour party.

One of the parties in government, NSC, is particularly twitchy about anything remotely fascist or unconstitutional. The initial PVV plan to use emergency powers to stop immigration was shot down by the NSC, and is now off the table. The PVV had to leave most if not all of their anti-Islam policies at the door. They are still fervently anti-immigration, but they're not working on deportations or anything.

The PVV in government is basically neutered to just a very right-wing party. Don't get me wrong, it's not a good government and I foresee it falling fairly soon, but they're not fascist and the Netherlands isn't a fascist country. Claiming it is just demonstrates ignorance of the Dutch political situation.

But even if you limit yourself to 80% battery life, so you stay above 80%, aren't you just... limiting your battery life yourself then? Batteries usually have more than 80% of their original capacity left after several years of usage.

If I just don't bother with doing this, and after 3 years I have 80% capacity left... I'll have the same experience then as people who limit their usage now. Maybe I'll spend 50 to replace the battery if it gets really bad (eg less than 70%), but I've never had that happen to any of my devices anyway.

I can understand fixing the charge on a battery that's normally not used like a mostly stationary laptop. But for phones I don't see the point.
