what makes him/them a war criminal?

send an unending chain of them and you solve the transmission problem _and_ they don't have to slow down as you'll always have another on the way past whatever you're targeting

couldn't it be different when scanning becomes very cheap and quick and it's the delta over n scans that gives signal?

Could you explain more? It appears economically self evident to me that it would improve the situation but I'm not in the industry and there's probably much I don't understand.

I would say that improving transmission seems like a much better solution but again I think zonal pricing can help there as it could then be more easily sold to the public as being able to import the cheaper (say) Scottish energy to your local zone, whereas at the moment there's no apparent direct cost associated with blocking pylon projects forever.

it is insane to me that they rejected moving to zonal pricing. zonal pricing would give incentive to move power demand closer to production, create costs to nimby-ism, and give the benefits of lower costs to those who live closer. but it might make energy cost more down here in the south east and (in particular) London while benefiting the North and Scotland so we can't have that

0 based is much simpler for any mathematical calculation done with the indexes. only reasons I can think where you need to handle it is when getting the last index from the length of the array or when interacting with the user. With 1-based you'll need to subtract or add 1 all over the place when doing almost anything

I will always have a case that has a cut-out for the camera so it still lays flat and it's otherwise thinner (or the case is thicker and thus more protective) than it would be if the camera didn't stick out slightly

yeah I had a deep fake Kier Starmer tell me about some investment opportunity with guaranteed returns.

I had a joint account with an ex who now lives abroad and I no longer have contact with.

I talked to the bank and there was no way to close the account without both of us present.

Recently they released a chat bot on their app and so I asked it to close the account and the bot did it for me! That's the best success I've had with a CS bot.

Possibly the policy changed in the mean-time or the lack of activity in the account for several years allowed it to happen (though the humans never told me after x years of inactivity I'd be able to close it)

"if you multiply by 1 it's always the same so that's pointless - I should remove that"

Dual failure of the locking mechanism is extremely unlikely. These are not switches that are regularly used so a muscle memory issue also seems very unlikely (but is still the most likely non-suicide scenario)

I played this a few years ago.

Despite being born in the UK to a British father my character wasn't previously British due to parents being unmarried and being born after 1983 but before the 2006 rules update.

I'm not totally sure when but I think some time in the 2010s the 2006 update became retroactive so my character was allowed to play. Didn't have to do too many side quests - the main one was retrieving father's birth certificate.

My character also had to attend the endgame ceremony and swear allegiance to the queen, which seemed odd for someone born in the country and lived here all his life

pretty sure it's just a hash of some text they can reveal later, to prove that they had something at this point in time. not referring to any release or commit
