  • Crime

  • So if I'm understanding this correctly, they did a extremely high resolution CT scan, but it's not possible to determine the letters from that. However by using other fragments of scroll as a ground truth, you can train a model to pick up on subtle differences in the fibres where there has been ink. That's very cool!

  • What sort of things would you try to gain knowledge in?

  • I hadn't heard of that before - looks like they have some clubs in the UK so I'll investigate. Thanks!

  • What do you mean by active listening exactly?

  • Thanks for the insight - I hadn't considered that announcing the silence in that way could be useful, but I see what you mean.

  • Yes I think you're right - sometimes I'll feel like I need to fill a silence, and end up spewing out nonsense. Then I'll feel embarrassed and struggle with the rest of the conversation. It's quite hard to un-learn that feeling of silence being uncomfortable, but it would definitely give time to help me think.

  • I think I'm quite good at asking questions, but when it comes back the other way my mind often goes blank. It could be that I don't perform well under pressure, so maybe I need more practice with that. Speaking slowly is a good suggestion - I find myself speaking way too fast when I want to get a point out.

  • I've had a quick look into that, and yes that does provide some good pointers for general questions to get a conversation going. What should I do if I'm the one being asked those questions and I'm floundering though?

  • Yes I loved that one! Played it not too long ago. They did an excellent job remaking that whilst keeping the feel of the original games.

  • Thanks for the heads up :) The same brand does a conditioner that is silicone free, so I'll try that out

  • I ended up getting a Safari fountain pen and wow! It's so smooth. Way better than any I've used in the past. I've been writing stuff for the hell of it just to try it out. I'm so used to pressing down with some force whilst using a ballpoint (especially the first time you use it each day) so this makes a nice change.

    Thinking back to when we were made to use them at school, we were told that the nib would wear down to fit our writing style... which I think was nonsense. Pretty sure I used to use more pressure than was necessary back then, to try and get the pen to 'mould' faster. If I'd been taught to use them correctly maybe I'd have enjoyed it more back then.

  • Thanks for this! Do you reckon a product like this (Sukin Natural Balance Shampoo) would be ok? It claims to be sulfate and paraben free

  • I'm not sure what you mean by this question, but while I'm here can anyone recommend a shampoo/conditioner brand that won't dry out my hair? I have quite thick hair for context.

  • Opus Magnum is really great if you haven't played it before :)

  • I think that's the bug they put in Neo in the first Matrix film

  • Whoa, some amazing paint jobs! The detail is insane

  • Yeah, they changed too much unnecessarily whilst keeping the rest of the game identical. The addition of first person shooting really broke it in some ways because the original game wasn't designed that way. I think they'd need to redesign it from the ground up to make the more modern mechanics work properly. Something like RE2 Remake.

  • Ignorance? I'm well aware of the methods you've suggested, I was just wondering what exactly you were referring to when you said 'fight for them', and what you consider to be the most effective method.

    Unfortunately I don't think it's as effective as you think (at getting people to give into demands). Thousands of people protested after Liz Truss' resignation asking for a general election last year. Rishi isn't going to call a general election any earlier than he needs to because he knows the conservatives are likely to lose. That said, yes I do think protests are a good way to drum up support and encourage people to vote. Despite what you may think, voting is important.
