Good news. The way this treaty was being (ab)used was ludicrous

When I’m shopping, I definitely look closely at the quote on the can, then look it up, and decide not to buy syrup because it turns out to be a bible verse…

All it takes is a social media message to around a particular religious community who object and bam. There go substantial sales, I guess.

You and I may not care. Others might

Render distance would be reduced requiring us to come up with plausible theories to account for the fact that there is a limit to the size of the so-called ‘observable universe’

The thing I find interesting is how the mixing of less and fewer, is broadly accepted, whereas nobody tends to use ‘much’ and ‘many’ interchangeably.

I’m not quite sure why much/many is do conserved when fewer/less isn’t.

It is also a tool to allow common understanding between a diverse group of people. I’m not saying that less/fewer is an important rule. However ‘anything goes’ is going to have an impact on people’s understanding of bothe you and your message

If you read the article it’s more malnourishment and deprived conditions that means they are suffering bad scurvy or scabies before they even try to see a doctor. And measles ? That’s down to antivax conspiracy bullshit.

Because they aren’t the same quality? Lossy compression is lossy

Not paywalled for me perhaps it wasn't for OP.

There was a fashion about 30 years ago in the UK to convert old-style rotary phones so they worked with DTMF touch tones. I had a rather excellent original candle-stick style phone. Got lost in a move somewhere. Retro is always cool

That failure example puts something in my hind-brain into fight-or-flight mode - mainly flight.

Oh, I'm not going to blame it on the Brummies. It's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reachplc Reach's business model, they are a tiny cog.

Sites like Birmingham Mail know they can get lots of clicks cherry-picking outlier forecast models, so they can run alarmist click bait headlines.

They do it again and again

Fuck anyone who demands I stand up and applaud any part of their act

Saying ‘corporations are going to do what they want regardless, there’s no point wore about it’, is a very useful counsel of despair for them.

That's not quite what is happening here. His original application for asylum was turned down on the grounds that it was found he would be reasonaby safe from persecution in his origin country. However, being Christian would have substantially added to is risk of return and he was therefore subsequently granted asylum.

Nope : rules in the Code which are legal requirements, and which you will be committing a criminal offense if you disobey, use the words “must/must not.” Violating other parts of the Code, which use the words “should/should not” or “do/do not”, can be used as evidence against you in Traffic Court, even if violating them is not an automatic criminal offense

So how about the government actually open proper negotiations ?

The amount asked, is simply the amount lost due to inflation over multiple years without an inflation-matching pay rise.
