PFI? Of course not! This is GFI, it's green.
Yeah I don't trust the canary at all but this sounds in line with what she's been saying so far.
And then there was the Quake 2 engine which gave us Deus Ex, American McGee's Alice and then (through the modified GoldSrc version) Half-Life, Counter Strike and countless others! The family tree of 3D engines is really interesting.
But I thought LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder?!
Actually I never got that. WINE isn't an emulator, but LAME very much is an MP3 encoder
Are there are good Monster Hunter communities in the Fediverse?

Vance faced an onslaught of bad press, as many commentators—including Harris’ step-daughter, Taylor Swift fans, Democratic officials, actor Jennifer Aniston, and several conservative women pundits—decried his comment.
My reading comprehension must be pretty bad because for a second it sounded like Taylor Swift was Kamala Harris' step daughter.
No, the BBC is funded through the licence fee, not the budget. It's a weird system but the idea is that the government can't just turn on/off the funding spigot to put pressure on the BBC.
Of course, they still manage to put pressure on in other ways, by appointing board members etc
On the flipside of this: adolescence is an extremely important part of life where we make thousands of decisions that impact the whole rest of our lives. We sit exams that determine whether or not we do higher education, and therefore what opportunities we have later in life. Teenagers can get arrested and thrown in jail, or just excluded from schools and denied the essential education that they need in later life. There are far more children in jail than are on puberty blockers. The idea that individual agency starts at 18 is a myth.
And I don't really agree with the comparison with alcohol and smoking. Puberty blockers aren't an indulgence or vice - for a teenager going through gender dysphoria they can be the line between life and death. Plus, let's face it - lots of us are drinking and smoking a few years before 18.
Cool I guess we'll all just die then.
Again, it's a difference of opinion about how it's delivered, not whether it's delivered. Can you find me a single example of someone saying they don't want the NHS at all unless it's 100% publicly delivered? Because that's the imaginary person you and Wes Streeting are arguing against.
There's so much in Infinite Jest, but I think my favourite would be "Blood Sister: One Tough Nun".
