Nothing is rare on the Internet. It's a pet bugbear of mine.

Maybe he wants to learn, or maybe he's a psychopath trying to upgrade his human emulation software so he can get out sooner. Even experts find it hard to tell.

1) Most of uk.gov is actually designed and built in-house. 2) Germany, as a nation, got to about 1991 and collectively decided "This is nice, let's keep it like this". Even the most technologically progressive regions of Germany still think it's 1997. Elsewhere, it's like the wall never came down.

Actually at the time Ford's in-car entertainment was more integrated than most. Unlike others, they fitted own-brand audio systems which were either non-standard shapes and hard to replace, or they were built in entirely. I think what we see here's just an afterthought that got added late in the design process.

Can't tell, sorry, the cache service provider doesn't supply that info.

We use it on our rinky-dink ecommerce site, and it represents 40% of requests at the moment. HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 are at 30% each. Our users skew a bit older, and definitely aren't techno-savvy (one scrolled past all the products and used the contact us page to ask for a printed product catalogue and order form...).

Humanity goes extinct if sustainability and climate change don't matter. And so does a lot else. We've already ensured through our actions to date that what remains of our time on this earth will be miserable, but we might still stand some chance of not completely ruining the place.

A 33% reduction in the population of one country is a tiny step in the right direction, but still far short of making a significant difference.

Now watch as cities suddenly split into multiple municipalities of 74k people...

I've heard many an anecdote of soldiers deployed for months in male-only settings who could smell that a woman had arrived on base. They weren't able to describe what they smelled, or how they knew it was a woman, but they just knew.

That's right.

Liberating, isn't it?

...He/she posted on the World Wide Web, invented by a Brit in Switzerland.

There's a fair chance you even used an ARM-powered device to do it. Also British.

Tesla, of course, based their first car on a Lotus. British.

Oh no, it's absolutely by design. It's a factory for producing broken people capable of committing atrocious acts of cruelty for the Empire. Now there is no Empire, they've turned on their own people.

My school wasn't English, or as elitist as Eton, but each year on Remembrance Day they would read the names of every pupil who died in the two world wars. Took quite a while.

As somebody who's been through a similar-but-different dual citizenship thing: it's just a bit of paper. You're still you, in all your wonderful complexity, and you can feel like any nationality or combination of nationalities you like. That will probably continue developing over time, too. You'll lose nothing by getting a second passport, and by the sounds of things you'll gain plenty.

Everybody should take every opportunity available to them when it comes to this stuff. Don't let others decide for you where you're allowed to make a life for yourself if you can possibly help it.
