For the record, measles typically hospitalizes about 25% of those it infects, and kills ~0.1-0.3%.
It's dangerous for that alone (by these numbers: ~40-480 dead kids), but measles has a nasty trick. It suppresses immune function for years afterwards so other infections can kill even more children.

By refusing to even consider a customs union, Keir Starmer himself is the biggest block to closer ties with Europe.
Unless he changes that stance, this is all just meaningless blather

It's genuinely so fucking demoralising watching liberals stand up and say with their full chest that you can do as much horrendous shit as possible as long as you say all the Serious Statesman incantations while you do it.

Europe desperately wants the US to be Normal Again so it doesn’t actually have to engage with any of the hard work (and spending) that engaging with reality actually involves.
So if Rubio gives a speech with ~better vibes~ it gets lapped up, even if it’s meaningless on substance.

Jesus Christ, a standing ovation? For an apologist for a regime which is buying warehouses to build concentration camps and murdering protesters on the street?

Amsterdam is great fun because sometimes you walk in on a heated argument between someone from China (Taiwan), someone from China (Mainland), someone from Japan, and two drunk Koreans, and then an even more drunk American barges in and assumes everyone present is from Thailand.

had someone ask "why a tape drive"
well the fiber-channel controller was €20 and the cabling another €20 and the drive was €90 and a stack of 15 LTO-5 tapes of various sorts was €90, so I now have ~22TB of bulk storage for the grand total of €220, which is half the price of a ~22TB HDD

Unclear if the politician here is lying, or simply west wing brained so they think our Supreme Court is the same as the American one? Because the UK government can, in fact, simply change the law on which a judgement rests. It absolutely can do that.
Angeliki Stogia (Labour). Angeliki broadly performed well, but she felt very hemmed in by her government's record. When questioned about trans rights, for instance, she stated that the Labour Party would always stand against transphobia and that they couldn't just change the supreme court decision

was expecting the hardware compression that LTO drives do to be kinda bullshit but it's actually decent. 700GB of SSD compressed down to about 500GB. not bad!
