Ah there goes my idea, I thought it was gonna be down to Microsoft’s inability to not fuck sleep up every couple of years

Memory is probably the next port of call if you don’t see anything in event viewer to indicate a driver issue.

Another commenter suggested memtest which is a good shout, might be also worth putting a Linux distro onto a flash drive or partition and try running that for a couple of days to see if it does it under Linux, that will at least help inform you as to whether it’s hardware or software

20% is a pretty charitable estimate if you’ve been paying attention to the news for the past decade

I don’t think a poor relationship between an employer and employee is a good reason to try and scam random kids

Well that’s a pretty elite list

I was lucky enough to see Ichiko Aoba in Tokyo a couple of years ago

Why don’t they install a public CCTV camera in his toilet if he doesn’t think privacy is important

Honestly the Lofi Girl channels on YouTube are probably a higher frequency go-to than I like to admit to myself

If I’m choosing from my library, I’ll either go down the Brian Eno-style minimal ambient road, or probably that 95-05 era of trip hop/downtempo electronica mix of tracks running the gamut of portishead/massive attack through to stuff like telepopmusik, thievery corporation, nightmares on wax, zero 7, etc

If I’m in the right mood for it, I find a lot of aphex twin’s stuff can be pretty relaxing, but I understand that’s probably a less common choice

How long before it hits America where they don’t monitor this kind of thing anymore

My personal tinfoil hat theory is that Labour may get a bump off the new leader, but ratings will quickly return to decline for a multitude of reasons I’ll skip for brevity

Once we’re closer to the election and Labour is looking like it’s in an existentially threatened place, I bet we’re going to see a proportional representation voting system pushed through, and with the Tories still suffering their own decline, they may provide the support for it to pass pretty painlessly

The obvious risk to it is that Farage will naturally try to oppose the thing he’s loudly supported for decades, but his fanbase will probably be too oblivious to spot the inconsistency.

Someone who thinks they completely understand politics because they saw a meme with a horseshoe on it

So vitamin C is bad for you now?

“Naturally occurring ascorbic acid and added ascorbic acid — which may be chemically manufactured — may have different impacts on health,” said Touvier, who is also director of research at France’s National Institute of Health and Medical Research in Paris.

“Thus, the results observed here for these food additives are not true for natural substances found in fruits and vegetables,” she added.

I know this might just be the reporting, but this feels kinda wishy washy. Why? What’s different about it

Gonna have to read the paper when I’m more awake

In the last general election, in most constituencies, a vote for someone other than labour was just a vote for keeping the Tories in. Who are the ones who took us out of the EU in the first place.

The places where it made more sense to vote for an explicitly pro-EU libdem, they did just that.

A vote for Labour in that election absolutely was the better vote for most voters that wanted closer relations with the EU (which is actually happening) compared to the Tory alternative.

The next general election (likely 3 years away) will be a very different playing field and what you say may well track for that, but it doesn’t really make sense for where we are now, since the current news cycle is about Labour members picking the next Labour leader once the current one is ousted by Labour MPs.

Pretty hard for the vote to not be for Labour in this instance

Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels now, and this doesn’t look like it will ever flip back.

Seems like a fairly straightforward message that a vote for reform is going to ravage the finances of a lot of their voters

It’s even under the 20% irredeemable nutjob low water mark

I think it’s a way more simple thing

The classic point of an online search engine is to send you to the site with the information

Now they want you to not go to the site and instead see the information they stole from it without ever leaving their site

It used to be a bridge, now it’s a doorman motivated to keep you at the door

Haha fair play then, you got to find out why 25 years before I did

One more line could turn it into a butt plug, if you ever fancied improving things

Why is this all so predictable?

Go and get that ADHD assessment

And now I’ve got Adam Buxton’s sushi song in my head, cheers
