Ah sorry I responded which you then responded to but in the meantime I had deleted my comment as I couldn’t figure out if you were being sarcastic or not 😜

It drives me bonkers! The browser already has a way to display loading and it’s even respectful of back buttons.

I get that in a select few cases, for real time content, it makes sense to handle the loading inside the page. But if all you’re doing is displaying an article, I don’t need you to load a framework page that then loads the content. Just load the content.

Lost my job. Second oldest daughter became a Christian overnight (neither my wife nor I have ever mentioned religion in the house and are both decidedly atheist/agnostic) and don’t we dare suggest the fact that religion is trending on social media might have anything to do with it!

Other than that it’s been a splendid week.

Darwin I hope Canva keeps it clean.

And I speak as someone that did just start subscribing to Canva AI from inside Affinity this month.

100% DaVinci Resolve. It’s a full-bleed, professional solution on top of a large hardware ecosystem.

I hope this forces an Affinity build for Linux.

The tanks are rumbling nicely this morning.

As someone with a 20 year old Reddit account, I have to say I agree. The character of Reddit did change noticeably when digg users came over. And that’s fine. But it definitely happened.

France should simply offer select participation in their nuclear program, by way of buying in to maintenance and development, and some staffing on their submarines.

Germany, Poland, Benelux, the Nordics, Spain and Italy would likely join.

A couple more SSBNs with English speaking staffing running under French procedure would work.

But the thorny challenge is to determine who determines when the button is pressed. Extremely clear simple rules, such as “If any member states are attacked with nuclear weapons, the attacker is counter attacked with nukes”. It would be impossible to have a “when the survival of a state is threatened” like individual nuclear states do.

Set up your own emergency grid. I’ve got a couple solar powered nodes around so I can contact my wife even from the villages that aren’t in mobile coverage.

You’d be surprised.

This. Until the EU has a credible deterrence against Russia - and to some extent against the US riding roughshod - Denmark and Europe at large will say and do whatever is needed to keep America engaged.

But in 10 years time, when all the new gear that has been ordered is in use and mobilisation forces have been trained, patience with American bullying will grow very thin.

There’s a reason that the US has an official policy to undermine the EU; it’s pure divide-and-conquer. If Europe is unified (enough), they are a force to be reckoned with. If they are just a collection of small to medium countries they’ll be a compliant market to the US, with just enough backing for Russia to understand not to roll over Central European borders.

It’s geo-politics at play, on a grand stage.

Europe’s sole chance here is to build a decouple, duplicative, non-EU discriminating force structure (before you react to the use of the word discriminating, I’m only repeating what Madeleine Albrecht warned the EU against) that can act on its own, with its own continent wide nuclear umbrella.

The alternative is domination.

Two potholes and one just out of the blue on the motorway. It does seem statistically high, agree.

My last one was a pot hole as well - I expected the lads putting on the new tyre to tell me something had bent/buckled but everything balanced really easy.

So you could in Delphi’s VCL and that compiled to every platform too. And that in the early 90s.

That was en IE tag. I still used it all the time.

I was definitely being facetious 😄

My point is partly that not only do cinemas have to deal with managing all these people in there, they also have to compete with significantly better AV setups in people’s homes. Screens are much bigger, OLED, with surround sound at home. And at home I CAN press pause.

When cinemas were a big thing, people were lucky and wealthy if that had a 40” plasma at home. Now, you can get a 55” screen for the price of taking the family to a cinema 4 times.

I’d pay thrice the price if seating was good, volume was 75% of current levels, talking was policed, Mary Jane was finger banged in a car instead of the row behind me, popcorn weren’t thrown around, phones were off, commercials didn’t last 25 minutes before the main showing started, I could press pause and go to the bathroom or for a snack.
