    Never been. I'm the literal definition of a fair weather golfer. If it's sunny and between around 19-25° then I'll play - I suspect Dubai would be a little warm for my tastes.

    So it seems as if the reason we're so slow is "AI"* bot scraping. Not an easy one to solve as they don't identify as bots, "AI" bots identify using standard user strings. I'm working on a couple of things at the moment, but it might just mean chucking a load of memory at the problem and living...

    Golf in Lanzarote was particularly fun. Playing into wind so strong that my 7 iron was going about 100 yds.

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    There's a trick to this (works with cars too). Start eyeing up something far more ridiculous and expensive. Start dropping hints about how much you want to buy it, etc. maybe even go to see a demo or two (or test drive for cars). Then "compromise" on the one you really want.

    Absolutely. Met him in a restaurant once and he was an absolute gent. Perfectly happy to spend his time taking photos and chatting.

    *** Official Film Thread ***

    Build a cinema room. Failing that, some Showcase cinemas have sound-proofed private boxes you can hire. Not entirely keen on the sound in them though, I think cinema sounds needs a larger space to be truly effective.

    High level of critical thinking skills, evidence-based approach to decision making, dislike of harming children with dangerous thought practices....... I think he'll cope ;)

    Can't understand why the police are even bothering to get in the middle of this. On one side of the police you have some clams, and in the other side of the police you have some clams. Just let them have at it and eventually wipe each other out.

    Close, hopping around the Canaries for much of the summer with the kids. Strict no social media rules and all that.

    American politics

    I've read what wasn't behind a paywall. If there's something of value in the rest then feel free to explain how it meets the recognised definition of genocide.

    They're fighting a war. Things break when wars happen.

    I know the definition of genocide, please tell me how sheltering civilians from combat and feeding them at your own cost qualifies as genocide.

    American politics

    They're being moved away from the danger areas of fighting and being fed by Israel's generosity. Again, if the aim if genocide, moving civilians away from combat areas and then feeding them is a really brick way to do it. If there are no hospitals left in Gaza, then the blame lies solely with...

    American politics

    If the aim is genocide then they're doing a fudging shoddy job of it. Almost all of the population of Gaza from before Oct 7th is still living in Gaza. You'd think with all those resources and military personnel, they'd have taken out at least half of them by now, wouldn't you?

    Would you fly on a Boeing 737 Max?

    All fixed wing aircraft work the same way. All multi pilot aircraft follow the same rules and procedures. The 787 has more switches and more passengers, but the basis of it remains the same across the board.

    The "Why" thread

    I've seen how often people fail to make rational decisions due to wasting time on/over-weighting the value of the emotional side of things. Why wouldn't the ability to just switch emotion and feeling on or off as required be an advantage?

    American politics

    Well they taxed us more than any govt in post-war history (except the current one) so I'd say they were way too far to the left in economic terms.

    The "Why" thread

    Many people imagine evolution to be linear, like the branches on a tree. In fact, it's far more like the messy tangles on a bush. Not all beneficial characteristics are selected and not all undesirable ones are filtered. The timespan that modern humans have been around for is incredibly...
