  • Call to fix palliative care before assisted dying

    Jump

  • It was illegal for doctors to do it during Harold Shipman's time. Just less monitored. But most doctors refused to even discuss the subject with patients.

    No one should make the mistake the nation supported it then. Changes to the law have been discussed since at least the 80s, This is the closet we have ever come to legalisation.

  • Russia uses custom Linux - awake nerd

  • This. Just require all gov products and documentation to be open. (unless military and even then open were possible)

    Creating a new distro is not needed. Let users or nation gov bodies select or create as they see fit.

  • huge investment that would benefit hundreds more.

    Will it. It's a port. So employment opportunities long term are limited. Literally every job is likely to be replaced by engineering over a relatively short timespan. Jobs in ports are labour-intensive. So historically already many are replaced with machines. It is also the first jobs looked at with new tech. The few non-labour-intensive jobs are by nature AI suitable and already of huge interest to that community.

    There is a reason, a company with a history of downsizing or reducing the cost of employment is interested in such investments. Other than it also expanding the profitability of its other operations.

    As long as we as a nation allow the treat of other nations out bidding. It will always be a race to the bottom.

    Honestly, I am older than most here. In my 50s. And have watched how children born after me are given way less opportunity to build a life than I was. Despite seeing the same reduction over my parents. While housing is a huge part of it. The general fall in wages vs living costs is also way worse. And it can be clearly seen as a choice by our governments pressured by companies like this.

    At some point it is a requirement to say "NO". Trading or investing in our nation is about more then taking profit. Its about working with us as a nation as well.

  • Given the actions of said investor.

    When you’re trying to encourage businesses to grow in the UK

    It is sorta invalid when the company is working to fire UK workers and rehire foreign ones with fewer rights and lower costs.

    Curtailing to businesses without expecting them to work with the UK. It is directly responsible for the reduction in quality of life UK/world young face compared to elders. For the first time in recorded history.

  • Not in favor of the poor: Russia's official poverty figures drastically underestimate the actual scale of poverty in the country

    Jump

  • Yeah.

    I would be genuinely interested to know of any nations. That use a truly accurate measure of poverty. Seems all nations are ashamed to have poor, but also wish to do little to help.

    For all Russia's faults. It's not really different to the rest of the world.

  • Honestly, it's a slightly different cause and effect.

    The wealthy keep taxes low by funding both media that concentrates on blaming the poor. And funding politicians that support the argument.

    Same result, just different initial source. Think the old cartoon with the monopoly man sat at a table with a huge pile of cookies. Another guy with one cookie and a third with none.

    "Hey that guy wants to steal your cookie".

  • Hardly a new take.

    It's why labour did not care about the left post Corbyn.

    Why the Tories ignore the poor. And both are happy to lump blame on immigrants or shaft the disabled.

    FPTP makes it worse, as community size is more powerful. But PR would only improve it a little.

    Larger, more loyal voting blocks will always have more power than smaller or overtly anti the current leadership.

  • but is still sold in the UK

    Saline has an effect. It's minimal in the spray form. But any liquid that is safe can help a little. And at this time of year. Dehydration from fan heaters is a common cause.

    So I'm not surprised the crap is sold. Just remember, boiled water with a tiny bit of salt will do as well. Often better.

    Interesting choice of tittle?

    All ICC members is more than Europe. 122 countries. Not the US but other than that his travel is pretty limited.

  • My personal benchy: this one really tests a printer's capabilities

  • Sounds like the eventual end. Will be learning how to take raw circler optical lenses. As the optical centres do. And build the tools for folks to shape them at home.

    Such a project would be a huge advantage to many 3rd world environments. And would likely be about embedding quality glass cutting blades etc into 3d printed frames/mechanisms. Likely from PA. With the ability to embed metal rods and gears where stability, strength is needed.

    It's a guess ut I imagine the issue you have. Is most commercial opticians just see this as less option for them to sell overpriced frames. So agreeing to shape lenes for frames they dont sell. Is just a way to support the end of their profit line.

    In the UK, when we started seeing the Chinese companies selling online glasses. We had lots of opticians refusing to give copies of the RX. Or limiting the positioning info they give. As all that part is NHS funded. Laws helped. But without legal force, companies ain't going to help themselves lose business if it is obvious.

  • Russia warns Ukraine’s ATACMS attacks mark ‘new phase’ of war, lowers threshold for using nuclear weapons

    Jump

  • The USA is an Allie of Ukraine. And was helping it fund its defence against Russia before their attack.

    It's like your bullshit about the start of the first world war. The UK had a treaty that Germany thought we would ignore. They were warned if they attacked the nation, we would defend them.

    That is how international support works. When nations like Russia ignore internarial agreements they make, they threaten the whole world's peace by making it clear their word is not to be trusted.

    The whole fucking idea that Russia can attack its neighbours and the rest of the world must mind its own business is a fucking crap attempt to bully the world. Its no more than an attempt by a bully to gaslight the world and unworthy of consideration.

    And before you bring it up. Yes, I know the US can be no better when it comes to being an international bully. Does not give Russia an excuse to ignore its own internatioal treaties and threaten the world.

  • Russia warns Ukraine’s ATACMS attacks mark ‘new phase’ of war, lowers threshold for using nuclear weapons

    Jump

  • Accept, Russia broke international law when it attacked Ukraine. As it broke its own treaties to respect 1996 borders in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nukes.

    So nope. Also, the only reason Ukraine is not a part of NATO. Is that same treaty where they agreed not to join.

    So anyway, you try to argue this. If Russia is the first to launch nukes. They started WW3.

  • Russia warns Ukraine’s ATACMS attacks mark ‘new phase’ of war, lowers threshold for using nuclear weapons

    Jump

  • So you're saying Russia has never struck inside Ukraine. Or somehow The US started the war in Ukraine.

    Or is it just a freaking stupid idea that one nation can attack another. And expect them not to retaliate.
