Glaswegian here, I would use sorry as an "can I get past" also.

Anything written by John Hughes is worth a read. He also also wrote quickcheck.

Are you that excited to see innocent people die?

Or am I misunderstanding your comment?

That is one good-looking website.

Seems like the live demo website is about to die though.

All is fair in love and war.

Seems good to have the russia rethink their system of paying for assasinations.

New comment by peterpost2 in "Microsoft doubles down on small modular reactors and fusion energy"

peterpost2 — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 09:22:40 +0000

That is largely due to the war in Ukraine and Russian gas/oil being a big no-no in Europe right now.

Continuing to burn fossil fuel is simply not an option. Not if we want to comfortable keep living on this planet.

This is a very uneducated take. Wind absolutely makes sense in plenty of locations.

I myself am located on the west coast of Scotland and we get most of our energy from wind. Solar panels make much less sense here we tend to get much less light than most places in the world.

If those things are true they all are seen small peanuts compared to the police state that is being developed in the U.S. with masked men pulling brown people of the street without identifying themselves and without due process.

Get your priorities straight.

To quote Niemöller:

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
         Because I was not a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
         Because I was not a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
         Because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Not a good article.
