I'm not sure where the treasury slush fund accusation comes from?

On the actually change - if moving I to bugger funds allows for them to actually own companies etc, then I think this is a good idea.

But if they are forced to invest for economic growth instead of pension fund growth, then that's bad.

If the local funds are big enough to do proper investment, then this probably isn't worth it anyway.

It's stupid that they have to use that connection method. It should just be an additional method in the north.

...or you know, use the money spent on that network to improve phone signal.

Nice to see WPF is still getting updates... And I guess windows forms

That was more involved than I thought...

I'm going to have to look at my copy when I get home now. And check if the Koom Valley painting from thud is a reference to anything that actually existed....

The Night Watch is parodied on the British cover of Terry Pratchett's 2002 book by the same name. The cover illustrator, Paul Kidby, pays tribute to his predecessor Josh Kirby[22][23][24] by placing him in the picture, in the position where Rembrandt is said to have painted himself. A copy of the original painting appears on the back cover of the book.

That post is from 10 days ago, so is probably the traffic mod?

I mean... It might have been inspiration for the cover....

There was that video from a few months ago from... Prints with layers I think? That looked at the actual particulate and volatile counts and found that PLA actually gave off very little? Other plastics were much worse.

So remember that the particle counts matter as much as the danger of the particles.

(Disclaimer, that was a video, not a peer reviewed scientific paper)

its marked as a crosspost - that's an app issue, not a user issue.

The voyager probes only got as far as they did because of their trajectory that got some massive (and rare) slingshots, it will take ages for the new horizons probe to get anywhere near as far.

We could probably spam missions to some other planets, who will pay for it though? We are not at the stage where an 'out of the box's mission can do that I think?

Respect to the computer scientist who sorted that out. That has got to be an extremely satisfying bug to fix.
