    You got my meaning, and yes maybe that is what the OC meant.

    I think we’ve got to be a bit careful and keep our powder dry sometimes with trump stuff. Pretty much everything he does is bad and shocking, but if we overreact or exaggerate it makes people less likely to listen when it’s a really bad thing that might actually cur through. I’m pretty sure the reason he has got away with a lot of stuff so far is that people have just tuned out the constant noise.

    The examples given are about Trump limiting access for news agencies to the government, and trying to bully big news orgs. How would those things prevent someone writing a story about a public website disappearing?

    Don’t get me wrong, what he’s doing is bad for press freedom and will have a chilling effect on the more complicated stories that need more journalistic input and explanation to gain traction and public understanding, but as I said “this kind of story” isn’t exactly complicated and saying “stories like this will disappear” is just not realistic.




  • I haven’t used windows in about 15 years on my personal machines but see 7zip referenced everywhere…why is it so popular? Can windows 10/11 or whatever we’re on now not compress/extract most things itself or do people prefer it for some reason (nice interface etc)?

    I’m always amazed when I’m following a tutorial written for windows and it says “download and install 7zip, then extract the file using 7zip”. I just right click the file and extract it…

    This is why so many people edit their comments that are wrong and get corrected by someone else to say EDIT: CORRECTED BELOW or something, to prevent mindless downvotes from lazy people not reading the full chain of comments. Personally I think it’s worse like that but I can see why they do it if they care about karma.







  • Difficult for them though isn’t it? In reality, they can’t do anything but line up behind any plausible peace proposal that is brokered by another country. We’re not in a position to be the mediators this time.

    They can’t come out and say they will do something specific (unless it’s just words, strongly condemn etc) because it will be hung around their necks when it doesn’t happen.


  • That’s true, however people can be junior doctors for a surprisingly long time so you can see why they are pissed off! I assumed it was the first 3 years after graduation or something until one of my friends who is a doctor explained it to me.

    Junior doctors are qualified doctors in clinical training.

    They have completed a medical degree and can have up to nine years’ of working experience as a hospital doctor, depending on their specialty, or up to five years working and gaining experience to become a general practitioner (GP).
