Notes to editors

Limited exceptions to the ban may be required for safety or restoration purposes. An exemption is also anticipated to protect the historic rights of freeminers to mine personal gales in the Forest of Dean.

The government has laid a Written Ministerial Statement confirming that it will introduce legislation to restrict the future licensing of new coal mines, by amending the Coal Industry Act 1994, when Parliamentary time allows.

It was manufactured by the Americans, put into space by the Americans, controlled by the Americans until they handed over control to the RAF, and was stated in the article to be "dual control". It was clearly the Americans.

Why is an event that happened in the 1970s getting an article now?

It seems to be some reference to this, although I can't find anything about sacks and snakes. As stated by u/stovetop only the rich were in parliament, so if this did happen it was just one group of rich greedy people turning on another group of rich greedy people. Nothing to get excited about.

LABOUR rail minister threatened a company with severe financial and reputational damage if they didn't fire one engineer for doing his job. It's great to see New New Labour being so pro-worker...

I generally play on difficulty 6. It felt the right balance of difficulty, sample rewards, and enjoyment, for me.

I've been playing since release, so I'm a pretty high level now, and difficulty 6 was just starting to feel a bit too easy, and I was considering bumping up to level 7 as my standard difficulty.

Then this update came out, and I'm lucky to make it out of a level 6 alive! It's very teammate dependent and I find the quality of teammates has significantly degraded. That could be due to a higher percentage of school kids playing vs adults I guess, as it's the summer holidays, but it doesn't make it any less annoying.

Basically, people need to communicate more and remember it's a coop game. Ping the Bile Titans, Chargers, Impalers, there's others on the team that can help. Tagging where you're going on the map helps everyone coordinate. Microphones are not required, I use mine only when an in-game communication method isn't available or I'm being swarmed but still need to say something, probably about once every two games.

I don't enjoy the missions as much as I did before the update, and I think a lot of the blame rests on Arrowhead's shoulders but the user-base also needs to step up and learn to cooperate more in this cooperative game. Don't one-man-army a bile titan, don't ignore teammates that have found a bunker door, work together to increase your odds of survival, success, super credits, samples, and ultimately, fun.

I don't understand why the word grow is even in there.

Reinforced knee, hem woven. What is the word grow adding to the description?

Do the trousers grow? Do they expand so children can grow into them?

I don't get it

"That's something that happens. The migrants travelling the Aegean Sea, very often they abandon the children. They don't seem to have the same... affection we have for children."

The blatant dehumanisation is sickening as well.

To be fair, bodybuilders do lift the lighter weights. Gotta get that high rep range for the pump.

Powerlifters, strongmen, and Olympic lifters lift the heavy weights to get stronk.

Flying insects are not necessarily impossible to control. You can promote the populations of their predators.

The problem is, that usually requires promoting a mixture of amphibians, birds, reptiles, small mammals, and other insects. To do that, you need a habitat full of various plants, trees, and terrains, but vast swathes of land have been turned into dead monoculture, so the predators die out.
