I was out for a walk yesterday, and kids were throwing sticks up trees trying to knock the chestnuts down, so I don't think it's dead completely.

I never really played it when I was a kid, but knew all about it from The Beano and Oor Wullie.

Amazon still has to abide by the laws and regulations of countries they work in. So I wouldn't be surprised if workers in Germany are treated a lot better than they are in countries with weaker laws (not talking about Poland here, I don't know how they compare).

Randal Munroe tried to answer that in the book 'What If?' Basic conclusion is no. Virus would linger in a few hosts long enough to restart.

Also it would destroy the economy and potentially damage our health. 'It's possible mild infections serve serve to train and calibrate our immune system'

> Royal mail will charge you another £8

Something similar happened to me. On top of the £8 charge, I had to drive 30 miles to the depot to pay the charge. The Royal Mail refused to deliver it.

I'd imagine they'd then have to deal with a lot of returns/chargebacks, from customers refusing to pay to accept the goods.

Simpler to just refuse to deal with the UK.

I'm curious if anyone has numbers on how much a homemade sourdough loaf costs on average. My experience is that flour is quite expensive (and currently not available in UK shops).

I've also noticed a spike in electricity costs since we've started baking regularly. (Difficult to calculate exactly)

My guess is that baking your own is a bit cheaper than going to some artisanal baker, but a lot more expensive than a standard load.

Sounds like SRE are fixing bugs and introducing tools and processes that improve reliability.

> There are two main types of reliability work. The first is mitigation, which is a linear fix that’s often referred to as firefighting...The second is change management, which is a non-linear fix that proactively reduces the defect rates through projects like migrating to better tools and refactoring spaghetti code. While SREs support both these types of work, they should spend more time on the latter.

I could only replicate that by setting the activity level to 'very active' (hard exercise 6-7 days per week). At 'lightly active' it recommends closer to 2400. Seems reasonable.

Links aren't working. No information on front page. 'customer profile data' sounds dodgy
