The long read: The EU likes to celebrate itself as a place where borders are soft and ‘regionalism’ creates diversity and openness. But just as much as any powerful nation, Europe defines itself against the rest of the world...
Ah, I'm in Europe so I can't give any specific recommendations with regards to places. However, I would always suggest doing some hiking and camping. It's such a refreshing way to spend time and getting into nature always recharges me. I believe that there are some excellent trails in the that kind of area.

I believe that the languages and packages used by kids in school do a lot of the heavy lifting for them. Whereas the Basic or old C that you'd use for the ZX Spectrum would be very bare bones with you having to do a lot of work for yourself. Plus, I imagine that as code development has moved on a lot since then that a lot of the features you'd expect to have available as a modern developer would be missing. I can't imagine that it'd be too easy to develop a game for.

Whether you started with a 2600 and a joystick in your hand, an N64 with a blistered palm or building your first PC in your teens, what is that one video game you've played at some point that to this day sits at the top of your list.
Witcher 3 is, for me, the best single player game I've every played. Though Ocarina of Time comes a close second - and I never even played it on release only years later when I bought an N64 at uni.
For multiplayer, however, you can't beat Halo with a load of mates round and a crate of beer.
I just finished Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. It's an autobiographical piece from the Author of Little Prince about his days flying between the wars.
I'm just about to move onto Femina by Janina Remirez. Which is a history of the world told through the eyes of the deliberately women left out of it. I'm looking forward to it, it sounds excellent. Filling a much needed gap in the popular understanding of women's role in history.
Great book. I do love the world he creates, it still holds up even now. His other books are just as good. I wish there were more cyberpunk books, I do love that genre.
tl;dr: after pushing rcs so hard for years, killing hangouts well after forgetting about it, & hiding it from gmail, google now wants you to use its (and google allo's) successor, google chat.
I always used to use Hangouts as my default chat app for friends. We had a big DnD group chat on it. But we migrated to WhatsApp when Google said they were going to kill hangouts and never looked back.
Why would I trust Google with my chats when they constantly abandon/kill off their best tools. We've now moved to Signal and I'm expecting to stay there for a long time.
He denies this but hasn't sued the person making the allegation'
He can't sue the person who made the allegation. It was an MP who made the allegation in the House of Commons. This means that the MP is protected by Parliamentary Privilege which allows an MP to say whatever they want while in parliament. Very important for allowing MPs to have proper debate without interference.
However, having said that. I definitely think he did accept money from Russia (the truth is also a defence against being sued!). He appeared on Russia Today (state propaganda) a lot.
