bbc.co.uk still allows listening to all stations live and yt-dlp has no problem to download shows, you just got to find your way to the correct page that doesn't trigger a redict to bbc.com e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001qng7/episodes/player

BBC 6music has a lot of great DJs, Chris Hawkins being my favourite with plenty of banter for a 5am show. While it's just a Friday late night show: Ashley Storrie on BBC Radio Scotland and don't be surprised if you hear the same listeners sending in messages on both stations. But then, they aren't commercial stations with less pressure. Whenever I have to listen to an Austrian (where I live) station I get bored. Even the public funded stations have commercials or, even more annoying, un-labeled advertising for the lottery.

You might want to ignore politics all day long, but rather sooner than later it's politics that will creep into your life and take an interest in whatever things that politicians mis-understand about your little niche.

Oh sorry, I missed that CA over-cautious warning label nonsense.

I'm getting a lot of calls recently and don't give them more than a Hello and whatever music, radio show or Tour de France broadcast I'm listening to. Sometimes they hang in there for half a minute.

They only do if you give your container that file system as a volume.

The DOT has a list of interesting studies on the active transportation in the form of walking and cycling https://www.transportation.gov/mission/health/active-transpo...

You can also search for studies that compare the societal cost/benefit of using a car vs a bicycle. The generally accepted conclusion is that cars have a cost while cycling has a benefit for society.

If he goes into the parliament building without his costume

If the people vote for a man in a bin costume then he should have the right to represent them in that very same costume. On the other hand, to satisfy both his desire for a costumes as well as parliament's rules that basically allow its members to look at each other eye to eye, he might switch to a transparent bin. Something that would benefit the whole country as transparent bins allow its users as well as the bin (wo)men to identify bins that have been filled with the wrong waste.

He was re-elected once more in 2009 and because the English have a really weird political system, the direct election of mayor was abolished by a vote in 2012 making him the first, last and only directly elected mayor the town ever had.

Other interested candidates can submit their nomination from tomorrow to Friday and I think one needs the support of only 10 constituents and a hundred quid

Wouldn't it be fun if those who are in favour of such measures were the first to behave their messages scanned?

Fehmarnbelttunnel is the better example because you can see the difference in legislation between Denmark and Germany. Denmark passes laws for projects of such importance while in Germany the project has to hop over every existing legislative hurdle that are great for preventing smaller projects going bad, but do cost extra time and money on a larger scale.

AOK insured 27 million in 2021, couldn't find a more recent number.

That Model M SSK looks real nice. I have not one but two Filco Majestouch 2 TKL with brown MX keys, one for 12 years and counting. They are so much heavier, nicer compared to what I got recently second hand: a WASD with a very wobbly case.

In peacetimes, yes, but if it's defensive war I don't see many arguments against a draft, it can't be generalized though.

There's weirder things in existence like SPAC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special-purpose_acquisition_co...

Stopping a driver at 1AM gives the cops a better chance at "solving a crime".

He should keep a log book for his police encounters, categorized by ticket with every cop putting their name and number into it so he can show the cops how often they waste everybody's time...

Solar farms come with batteries included these days https://reneweconomy.com.au/the-solar-farm-that-winds-down-a... and https://octopusaustralia.com.au/our-projects/fulham-solar-fa... and https://edp.com/en/asia-pacific/australia/merino-solar-farm and https://www.pv-magazine-australia.com/2026/06/23/australias-... That's a new trend and easy to miss but it will push out coal and gas.

And as much as a cyclist I dislike cars, the nice thing about electric cars is the potential that most often they can be charged at a time when it is convenient for the network. Mind you, cars just sit around 95% of the time.

With the prices for solar (the expensive parts are not the panels but the inverters and labour costs) and batteries still going down you will get more than what you thought when you started to spend the first billion.

I'd like to factor in the cost of games, but then my Steam library might be a little bigger than the average... Am I willing to pay €60 for a game? Rarely. Am I willing for the spring/summer/winter sale on Steam? Yes!

Who knows, maybe once the AI bubble has burst they will surprise us with a replacement mainboard for this second gen. If they want to keep it in sale as long as the Steamdeck it would make sense to offer gamers a simple way to upgrade their existing machine when Steam's ecosystem is already open to all sides. Maybe they'll even outsource that mainboard upgrade to ASUS, MSI or others. Once we see a teardown we can make a better prediction.

I'm pretty sure they would have loved to put a better GPU chip in but that would have cost too much extra in these mad days.

StarLink is the only thing about SpaceX that makes a profit. But that's only possible because no one else has a network up there hence it can ask for any price it want. Let's not forget that before StarLink there was Iridium and it got ousted because there was a better offer and I wouldn't be surprised if some other company will eventually go up with a better offer.

There's more than one way but this lists packages not installed by pacman itself:

    pacman -Qm

Sure, but they are running web-apps they've vibe-coded (hence the .vibe tld) and for that use-case of many web apps that I run in docker containers I use nginx-proxy [0]. All the container needs is a VIRTUAL_HOST environment variable with the domain and what my router needs is an address entry for the wildcard subdomains. I even have nginx-proxy on a internet-accessible staging server.

What a ridiculous AI generated photo. The guy with the glasses wears different shoes!

Anyways... interesting idea, it is taking noise-cancellation headphones a few steps further and those do work for many.

The truth of the matter in a field that still needs more thorough studies and a better understanding in the experts in the field who write the diagnosis? Barkley has a few videos on those with counterpoints, the pattern here is to look if ADHD and autism are actually their focus and in the case of studies, if they take the fundamentals into account. Fundamentals like ADHD most often being hereditary. E.g. I read a study about ADHD self-diagnosis and social media and it completely lacking numbers on how likely a self-diagnosis is correct, whether the subjects had a previous diagnosi like depression (a common mis-diagnosis) or how competent the doctors were in the field of ADHD. That study gets attention, ironically, with its claim that social media causes more self-diagnois, but it's those details you want to watch out for when reading counterpoints.

There's no contradiction between the inability to focus (at will) and hyper focus. As an analogy, a car you build for a land speed record is fantastic at the salt flats but usually really bad when it comes to corners or transporting your groceries.

My brother was diagnosed in his first year at school, didn't help prevent his criminal career later on. Diagnosis, even a self-diagnosis like I did at 42, is just the first step but for kids the right actions and help could indeed prevent so much suffering. Self-medication, drug abuse to calm down the mind, can be prevented quite easily with proper ADHD medication that shows a great rate of success.

Studies from Norway and the US show results fitting this one https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12888-021-03223-0 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2581455/
