I’d guess the codebase that keeps Word running is so convoluted by now they have trouble shoehorning it in.

It’s such a stupid thing, not only do people have to pay over the odds to scalpers, but how do people go about claiming on warranty or returns.

Ok, what film is this from?

Could country A try to decrease exports to country B and increase exports to country C, D, and E, perhaps by lowering the cost in C, D, and E?

I don’t have any evidence for, and this document is just too long for me to read at this late hour. [IMF - Macroeconomic Consequences of Tariffs](Macroeconomic Consequences of Tariffs. https://www.imf.org/-/media/Files/Publications/WP/2019/wp1909.ashx)

A combination rifle shotgun sounds like something that would be useful for shooting drones in Ukraine.

Careful, you’ve gone so far down the maze you’ll need a trail of breadcrumbs to find your way back

Excellent choice! In my vague memories it was an original game with a fun theme

Black & White 2 gets my vote

I didn’t remember this specific incidence, but the govt. / media do like to blame that darn rock music, mini skirts, Doom game, horror movie for all the bad things that are happening.

Also, link to this specific incidence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_Rose#Controversy

Sounds really good, will have to give this a try

People demanding that “thou shalt not commit adultery” be displayed in school, but have no qualms voting for a convicted adulterer. (Well convicted of lying about paying to try and cover up adultery) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecution_of_Donald_Trump_in_New_York

I guess “thou shall not steal” and “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour” aren’t really a problem either …

I’m pretty sure they did.

Six months after he was first sent to fight, he was struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder […] Before he was due to redeploy, he took his own life.

However, the effect of vitamin and mineral supplements on the risk of non-communicable diseases in “generally healthy” populations is controversial. We examine patterns of supplement use and the evidence on their effects from randomised trials.

to date, randomised trials have largely shown no benefit of vitamin, mineral, and fish oil supplements on the risk of major non-communicable diseases in people without clinical nutritional deficiency. These results contrast with findings from observational studies, where supplemental nutrient intakes are often associated with a reduced risk of these diseases. The apparent associations from observational studies may result from unknown or unmeasured confounding factors such as socioeconomic status and lifestyle factors, including a better overall diet

Their use as general ‘pick-me-ups’ is of unproven value and, in the case of preparations containing vitamin A or D, may actually be harmful if patients take more than the prescribed dose.

As previously stated there is evidence for and against.

In conclusion, multivitamins were found to enhance immediate free recall memory but no other cognitive domains.

Neuhouser et al (14) recently provided an excellent summary of observational and clinical trial data on dietary supplements in relation to cancer. For MVM supplements, case-control studies of cancer at various sites (eg, colon, esophagus, stomach, oropharynx, breast, cervix, bladder, prostate, and skin) suggested that benefits may exceed risks. Corresponding cohort study results, however, were mostly consistent with no association

Conclusion In this large prevention trial of male physicians, daily multivitamin supplementation modestly but significantly reduced the risk of total cancer.

I was highlighting the fact that there’s evidence for both answers

I was looking for the brownshirts link!

I WFH, so my chair gets a lot of use - it’s one of the tools I use.

If I was an electrician, or I commuted to work I know I’d be paying for tools, fuel, repairs, train tickets etc

I don’t know what your circumstances are, but I find a cheap chair falls apart pretty quick.

The better office chairs have 10+ year warranties, if you spread out the cost of buying a cheap chair (£150) every 2 years Vs a £1000 one that lasts 10 years its not such a huge difference in price whilst the benefits to your back are worth much more.

I know not everyone can afford this, but it’s worth checking for interest free credit from either the manufacturer, store, or even PayPal / klarna (which is what I did).

I’m guessing some sort of NAS but I’m eager to know the truth
