Is it lazy of me to suggest showing nuked releases as a percentage of the groups total releases?

It’s funny you should say that, because my local council are currently struggling to collect bins. They haven’t collected to bins for the cafe that’s attached to my workplace for about 2 weeks now. It’s getting grim.

How many cultural advisors does one band need?

I used to work at a library, and about 10% of the books had a pleasing aroma, and the other 90% smelled like literal ass.

I used to climb loads about a year ago, and I was doing quite well, for my standards at least. I enjoyed bouldering, lead-climbing and trad.

Unfortunately I had to take a break for mental health reasons. Now I want to get back into it again, I am finding every time I go I am just getting so frustrated with how hard I find things now. But it’s not that I’m finding it hard, I don’t mind not completing a difficult problem, it’s that I am genuinely struggling to even start some of these climbs, and it’s so demoralising.

The only climbs I can climb at the moment are the very easiest in the gym, their first level of climbs. But they are sooooo easy that I get very little satisfaction from them.

Again, I apologise for the rambling post, I just needed to vent or I think I’d cry

Anything, or anyone, that speaks positively of ‘Coddling of the American Mind’ should be approached with extreme scepticism.

An interesting resource for people looking to combat shit like this is the podcast ‘If Books Could Kill’.

I don’t nessecirily always agree with the hosts’ wider takes on things, but their reading of these types of books is pretty spot on.

Cookie clicker. But I only know that because it’s the only game supported by this project

That’s the kind of csr that demands to have its cheeks chubbed and hair rustled.

Same here. I switched to Fedora last year and it’s been so easy…too easy 🤔

From what i understand there’s plenty of dentists, but they are all private. The government doesn’t maintain dentists as part of the NHS, in effect they subcontract the work out to private dentists.

We do get subsidised dentil treatment, but it’s limited in scope, and the way the government has handed out the contracts means there’s not enough spaces to go around.

I live in a city, and it took almost 18 months for me to get accepted as an NHS patient…in the next city over! But I was offered private treatment instantly at dentists surgeries that had “no space”. The system is a fucking joke.

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to answer. I really do appreciate it.

Going off of what you said, I am going to take what I currently have, scale it back, and attempt to get more separation between services.

Again, thank you!

I dunno, seems pretty seems pretty complex to me. I’m sure the democratically elected bigwigs in charge know a thing or two about running industries properly. There must be some other reason that countries with underdeveloped solar industries are falling behind…if only we could figure it out!

In my opinion The Handmaid's Tale has some truly thought provoking ideas, but the characters and scale of the book don't really allow for an exploration of those ideas.

To me it was reminiscent of Fahrenheit 451: both stories are set in dystopian worlds that are not too far from ours, both play with some big ideas, both universes cry out for expansion, and both stories end on a bit of a dull note.

I assumed there would be, but I haven't read it yet. It's on my list, but it keeps getting bumped down.
