I've never really thought of it as a bad thing. You can still say nothing, or "I want to speak with a lawyer before I answer any questions".

I've always considered it to be more about a line of questioning at trial. If you've invented an alibi, the prosecution can ask you "why are you only coming up with this excuse now but you didn't at the time?". You might then have a good reason for this, such as "I didn't think it was a good idea to answer questions without first consulting a lawyer".

The American model of having immunity if you just stay quiet is a bit odd in comparison.

When you get arrested in England, you do have a right to remain silent, but it might be used against you. The police will typically say:

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court.

"There were some rare bats we were legally obliged to protect, but we just had to drive the tracks right through the woods. We couldn't come up with any viable solutions except an ugly shed, then when the council complained about how ugly it was, we went over their heads to central government and lawyered them into submission. Wow that was expensive, huh."

Is this on an electric bike? Ive never replaced my chain ring, but I ended up getting a hub-geared belt drive bike last year after getting fed up with crappy derailleurs and replacing broken chains. It's brilliant.

Valid, if they created this update before November 2023 when 6.6 was released, and have needed to test Steam OS with the 6.5 kernel for a whole year before releasing it.

Weird that they went to kernel 6.5 which is already a year old, rather than going to the LTS version 6.6 which is still in support.

Making short term rental completely illegal is not a good idea as it would impact on local tourism etc, but they should allow (or force) councils to limit licences for short term rentals to a certain percentage of housing.

I take it from the article that Times Radio specifically asked Louise whether Starmer had a problem with women as part of an interview - she's hardly going to say yes!

Times Radio probably asked her based on Duffield's shit-stirring and the fact that Sue Gray is a women. That makes two women who have left the government, therefore Starmer must hate all women! A pretty dumb conjecture by the Times, but I guess that's the right wing media's job.

If those rich people are willing to move to shitholes like Dubai to save a few quid in tax, they were probably going to do it anyway.

The last Austrian that did big damage to the world would beg to differ

 

My on-screen keyboard in desktop mode has somehow become undocked and wider than the screen, making it hard to press certain keys which are half off-screen. It still works otherwise - I can open the keyboard by pressing X and close the keyboard by pressing L4.

I don't know how this has happened in the first place, and I can't find a setting for it in Steam. Any idea how I can reset the keyboard position?

It's out in certain places and it's another great chapter. Very detailed, lots of good dialog. We're getting to the peak of the arc!
