Not every building with stone carvings will be gothic cathedrals with regular incomes- there will be thousands of small churches out there, which don't have the budget for expensive stonemasons to hand carve items for repairs.

If we want to protect historic buildings for generations to enjoy then we're going to need to be more pragmatic.

I'm sure everything worth salvageable on the interior is gone already by the look of the pictures.

If they're sinking it, they've already worked out that it isn't cost effective to do anything else with first.

If they levelled it out you could surely fit a far larger battery in it too. I'd far rather have a device 1.5mm thicker with a battery lifespan twice as long and no silly bump on it.

Honestly, when I was a kid I was dragged to a lot of places which were adult spaces with my parents and it'd be boring but I'd just have to deal with it. We shouldn't be conditioning kids that they should be kept entertained and distracted for every waking second of their day because it doesn't prepare them for the fact that sometimes in life, things will be boring.

I'd rather they just leave it alone, the menu system works fine.

> right wing has been the normal ideology for most of human history, real democracy is/has center-right views

Before you make such a bold claim you might want to consider that there isn't even a very stable definition of right and left wing throughout history.

When peasants lived in a feudal states, did they have left/right views? Or did they their political opinions actually matter because the only people who had any control were the Lords above them (who more than likely did have a more modern 'right wing' attitude).

That has been the reality for your whole digital existence and will continue long into the future. We can only do the best we can.

But my bank has no physical buildings whatsoever?

And also, how is my bank supposed to safely generate and distribute a key that we can exchange securely if an organisations who's primary purpose to generate these keys couldn't even manage to do so.

I have plenty of other services I use too. Suddenly my phone company, doctors, supermarket has to create and distribute keys for me to go around collecting so that I can securely talk to them and we have to do this in a way that stops anyone from swapping those keys out before they get to me.

I mean the current system isn't perfect, but it's a Utopia compared to that.

Looking at the health outcomes of people from France and the US, it's fairly evident which one is more "great".

That is remarkably amateur. I'm not a software engineer by trade nor have worked at a billion dollar company, but knew that to be a bad design within seconds.

It's crazy. My main account is with Starling and I have a Lloyds account for a saving an account and some free cinema tickets. I don't think I've ever had an issue with Starling, it's great - Lloyds fails to sign in about 50% of the time consistently.

Most fridges at home don't have hot gas defrost cycles, toxic Ammonia refrigerants and store tens of thousands of euros worth of food in at any time.

They usually require scheduled service teams maintaining them who have tight SLAs (because a supermarket without fridges loses a lot of money per day) so making sure you have remote access to it so you can bring the right parts with you is probably useful.

Most people aren't railway engineers and don't spend their days being comfortable around train switches. That aspect alone would scare off a large amount of people because pulling a train switch is very outside their normal every day experience.

I'd probably just watch it all unfold like an idiot.

I got sick of this shit a few weeks ago, so now as soon as the torrent client starts downloading an executable it removes the torrent. Definitely seems to be an increase recently.

I've been receiving tons of free or negative rate energy for the last few years because of time of day pricing and as a result have driven thousands of miles at near zero fuel cost. It's automated for me so all I have to do is plug my car in.

I certainly don't view the windless day where the price is a little higher than average as a cause not to use my washing machine as on average I win out.

I'm not sure it's useful generalising a continent of peoples political opinions but I see renewables, storage and smart grids as really new tools that society previously had no access to, it's a massive carrot not a stick.
