This show is special, because it’s a level of satire that Americans rarely manage - so much so it’s almost unbelievable that it even is satire.

To do that you’d need to… watch so much… to… get the files.

The title is misleading, this isn’t anything new. The credits system for developers requires them to acquire credits from somewhere else, and this typically isn’t in the local area. Eg, a solar farm developer might have various solar farms across the country, some with more space kept natural and others that don’t have the viability for it. The natural space in one area will offset the lack in another.

I’m not saying this is really the right way of doing it, nor am I arguing against maintaining natural spaces more locally, but the point is the article is making out that this is a new idea rather than an evolution of existing practices - practices that themselves are relatively new. Hell, any requirement to maintain natural spaces is better than it was 10-20 years ago. Things are moving in the right direction, even if they aren’t yet where they should be.

I was actually surprised by how many bug splats I had on my car during this week’s heat wave. Seems like they’ve come out in force this season, or at least this initial wave.

This is AskUK, we don’t have HBO/Max over here. Most stuff ends up on Sky TV (satellite, although these days they’re moving to delivering over broadband internet - basically charging you twice, once for broadband, and again for TV over the broadband, all while charging satellite prices), but sometimes HBO stuff ends up on Amazon. It’s a bit like Dr Pepper, in the US it’s owned by Pepsi, but in Europe it’s owned by Coca Cola.

I was actually kind of guessing based on a vague memory of seeing The Pitt next to an Amazon logo somewhere, however looking it up it seems like it hasn’t been released in the UK at all yet. Hopefully soon! I expect it will be a hit here also.

The Pitt was bloody awesome, I’m annoyed there won’t be more until January next year. It’s a hospital drama set in a Pittsburgh hospital A&E and it’s been really well received. The first season is 15 episodes each spanning an hour of a single day. Unlike many other hospital dramas, it is actually a drama about a hospital, rather than a relationship drama in a hospital setting. I think it’s available on Amazon Prime.

MobLand is going now. That’s in my list but I haven’t started it yet. Stars Tom Hardy and Piers Brosnan.

Last of Us season 2 just started, and Andor season 2 starts this week.

I wonder if the fake doctor’s syringe had as much air in it as the one in the stock photo.

Apparently nearly every girl in Brazil has them, and they all encourage each other to have work done.

New mission unlocked lol

Say what you will, but Hershey’s is a damn sight better than Nestle. As such, American KitKats >>> European KitKats.

FYI for anyone it concerns, clicking “Disagree to all” on the cookie screen of that website definitely still accepts the “legitimate interest” crap.

This makes me want to sing the Tetris theme.

That’s what I was thinking lol didn’t he basically say that Moffat was good at writing the odd episode but terrible at making an over-arching plot?

What is it with rich married couples always having different surnames?

Power nap ftw!

Sciving off work to cook bacon and nurse my hangover.

If your model is supported, I’d recommend DivestOS. Always better to never have bloatware than to remove it.

Xiaomi phones have good hardware, but man, the bloatware is obscene. I hope yours can be hacked and I hope you do it.

You can bet I’ve already installed 3 meme apps

I’m guessing you won’t do it.

• Behind the Bastards
• Darknet Diaries
• If Books Could Kill
• SpyCast

I’ve also listened through Jon Ronson’s 2 season series Things Fell Apart, which is on various culture wars over the years. That’s well worth a listen to, it covers the roots of abortion becoming an issue as well as many others.

Yeah I’m all for that. However deposit schemes are also proven very effective at reducing waste on the floor. People will even pick up other peoples’ litter if they can get money back for it.

It does wind me up that this is all painted as “think of the children!!” when it won’t do much to stop children getting and using vapes, but at least it should address disposable devices that should never have been made as disposable.
