Really nice library. I’ve reposted this on Reddit r/webdev and you might find some of the feedback there useful.

That tutorial has opened up many doors for me

Yes it was :) I watched Local Hero after watching Northern Exposure and couldn’t shake the feeling that the visiting Russian felt eerily familiar. A little research revealed that Local Hero was a favourite of Northern Exposure writer Joshua Brand.

I hadn’t come across this before. Looks really good, thanks for sharing

More likely a commentary on the flying of flags. Since late 2025 and throughout 2026, the UK has seen a surge in flags (the Union Jack and St George’s Cross) being tied to lampposts, bridges, and roundabouts.

This campaign, which has been highly visible on social media and in physical neighborhoods, claims to promote patriotism. However, it has been deeply polarising, with critics and anti-racism groups arguing it is being used by far-right groups to mark territory and intimidate immigrant communities.

Before the war, Ships passed freely through the strait, and Iran did not profit from it.

US gas was affordable, keeping not only passenger vehicle fuel low, but farming costs and groceries/ transporting goods in US.

Trump then claims Iran is dangerous and building nukes and is a threat, despite IAEA reports to the contrary.

At Geneva, Iran offers to hand over all their uranium. Trump refuses.

Hours later trump starts bombing Iran.

Iran closes the strait to choke US economy.

US fuel costs skyrocket affecting CPI basket.

Trump demands they open the strait, and makes threat if they don’t.

Iran now says “okay, we will open it if u stop bombing us but now we will charge 2million fee for vessels passage”.

Now US fuel remains high, an additional fee is in place, and Iran keeps their uranium.

No regime change. No uranium shift. Just a major inflation spike to the US (and global) economies. Oh, and Iran gains full control of the strait.

Art of the deal

Tony Bloom, the billionaire owner of Brighton & Hove Albion FC seems to be managing it.

You need:

A friend (or two or three) to play with

A shared voice chat, like Discord

A shared online white board, like Mural, which serves as the table

Decks defined in Archidekt (or use the preconstructed decks we've downloaded)

This app for each of you to manage your library and hand

Each of you can choose a deck in this app, then shuffle up. Draw cards to your hand, then click on them to do more. When you play a card in MTG Deck Shuffler, it gets copied to your clipboard. Then paste it into Mural!

Multiple reasons I can think of:

Air Traffic Control staffing shortages. This has led to long shifts and intensive workloads for controllers, increasing the risk of errors.

Government shutdowns have exacerbated these shortages, causing delays and heightening safety risks as critical personnel, including TSA and safety technicians, were furloughed or worked without pay.

Then there’s the outdated infrastructure. The U.S. National Airspace System relies on aging radar and communication technology.

Indian students have embraced GenAI at a rate significantly higher than the global average, with nearly 90% of students in some surveys actively using these tools.

Government Policy and National Initiatives: The National Education Policy (NEP 2020) has shifted the focus toward digital literacy. The government has introduced AI as a skill subject for younger grades and launched programs like AI for All to promote nationwide awareness.

Polyandry exists mainly in isolated, agrarian, or mountainous regions like Tibet, Nepal, and parts of India to preserve land and family resources. It is also found in some African communities and among indigenous groups.

The most common form is where a woman marries a group of brothers to keep family land and assets united. It is often a strategic economic decision for survival in difficult conditions, rather than just a cultural preference.

Are you aware that Rupert Lowe was kicked out of Reform?

Reform would create ICE-style agency and end leave to remain

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/feb/22/reform-uk-i...

No it doesn’t. Several European and Canadian tourists were detained by ICE for weeks rather than being immediately deported. These individuals were often held in detention centres, sometimes in inhumane or prison-like conditions.

Here are specific cases of tourists detained by ICE:

Rebecca Burke: A 28-year-old Welsh backpacker was held for 19 days in a Washington state ICE processing center. She was attempting to cross into Canada, but was sent back to the U.S. She described being shackled and wearing an orange jumpsuit.

Jessica Brösche: A German tourist was stopped at the San Diego border crossing and held for 45 days, including eight days in solitary confinement.

Lucas Sielaff: A German citizen was detained for 16 days in an immigration detention center after being accused of violating his 90-day U.S. tourist permit.

Fabian Schmidt: A German national was detained upon entering the U.S. from Luxembourg.

Jasmine Mooney: A Canadian actor was held for nearly two weeks in an ICE detention center after being stopped at the San Ysidro border crossing.

Sarah Shaw: A New Zealand tourist and her six-year-old son were detained for three weeks.

Yes that’s a good point

The Civil War wasn't really a coup because the South wasn't trying to take over Washington D.C. or run the Federal government. A coup is usually a quick, behind the scenes power grab by a small group of people trying to unseat a leader. What happened in the 1860s was the exact opposite: it was a massive, public breakup where entire states voted to leave.

According to the bipartisan House select committee that investigated the incident, the attack was the culmination of a plan by Trump to overturn the election.

Within 36 hours, five people died: including a police officer who died of a stroke a day after being assaulted by rioters and collapsing at the Capitol.

Many people were injured, including 174 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months. Damage caused by attackers exceeded $2.7 million. It is the only attempted coup d'état directed towards the Federal government in the history of the United States.

While it’s true that the day-to-day misery and bureaucratic absurdity of 1984 were heavily shaped by Orwell's time at the BBC, he primarily wrote the novel as a cautionary warning against the rise of totalitarianism and the dangers of a centralized, surveilled state.

Having witnessed the horrors of Nazi Germany, the rise of Stalinist Russia, and the Spanish Civil War, Orwell wanted to expose the mechanisms of oppression and propaganda.

While the handle movement is mechanical, the actual latch release is still electrically triggered when you pull the handle to open the door.

If power fails, the handles may not function properly, requiring manual override procedures.

There are hidden manual releases inside, but they can be hard to locate.

This Software Architect would disagree with you :)

Very interesting, I wasn’t aware of that

How is it infinite? Oil forms from ancient organic matter under intense heat and pressure, a process taking millions of years, making it non-renewable on human timescales.

Ultra-wealthy individuals legally minimise their tax liability by:

Receiving a relatively low official salary (Bezos's Amazon salary was $81,840 for many years).

Not receiving dividends, so the wealth remains in stock that is not taxed annually.

Borrowing money against their stock holdings to fund their lifestyle. Loans are not considered income and are therefore not taxable, and the interest on the loans can sometimes be used as a deduction.

Misery is another classic

and way more high-profile individual ones across politics and finance

In a real-world scenario, if you saw a result significantly far from 100 (like 150 heads), you might suspect the coin is unfair. However, seeing exactly 100 heads gives no reason to suspect the coin is unfair; it's the result most consistent with a fair coin.

Despite its overall failure, some parts of the infrastructure and national applications, such as the Summary Care Record and the Electronic Prescriptions Service, are considered to have survived and continue to be used

You clearly didn’t read the article: “Soil entombed the coffin, save for a pipe for air and through which food and liquid could be lowered.”
