The transition to the Manifest V3 framework means extensions like uBlock Origin can’t use remotely hosted code. According to Google, it “presents security risks by allowing unreviewed code to be executed in extensions.” The new policy changes will only allow an extension to execute JavaScript as part of its package.

Is this a badly worded paragraph, but is uBlock Origin really using remotely hosted code? I thought it was a different restriction in manifest V3 that stops as blockers being effective.

So Reddit gold?

I’m intrigued by what they class as a long distance train, are they counting domestic only services? I wonder if the size of the country plays into it as well as most of the top ones in that list are relatively small, so presumably less long distance routes, and they are presumably shorter routes as well so maybe less chances for delays.

Ah thanks I think that clears it up for me.

It was serious, in my head both were just terms for left wing further left than central left but not like extremist left wing.

Aren’t liberals leftists though?

How many of those brands actually have factories in the UK or are even owned by a UK company anymore.

MG are just a brand under the Chinese company SAIC and as far as I can tell don’t have a UK factory, some quick googling suggests they are considering one last year but not sure how far that has got. And the majority of their models are EV.

Given Awdry was quite keen on accuracy to the real world engines (see the falling out with one of the first artists) I’m actually surprised there isn’t more consistency with the liveries. The Culdee Fell Railway has all engines with the same purple livery, and I think from memory the steam trains on the Skarloey Railway are red, which is more accurate to real life as generally each railway would have its own livery.

I think earlier on when there were fewer engines it was less of a problem as they all had fairly distinct shapes being based on different real engine classes Garden and pre rebuild Henry probably being the least distinct.

You were supposed to bring order to the railway not cause confusion and delay

Probably basically commercial displays but I wonder if it’s possible to buy TVs aimed for guest rooms in hotels?

They need more content to keep their animation team busy.

Of course they are claiming oh no we won’t be going subscription only, but if history is to be believed, give it a year or two and see that stance change.

I mean as much as I like the Concorde, I really don’t see commercial supersonic flights being a major success, it might be of some use on certain long fight routes that are mostly over water.

But it’s going to have the same problems that were the nails in the coffin for Concorde, too noisy to fly over populated areas, high running/maintenance costs, low passenger capacity and reasonably small market.

Given the rise of the internet there’s even less need to just pop over to the US and back for the day which was some of the market for Concorde. The environmental impact of a commercial supersonic aircraft would also be under significant pressure. A lot of the current improvement in jet engines for commercial flight has been how to make them more efficient.

Don’t modern versions of rm block calling on / unless you pass a separate flag?

Fairly sure the thermostat in my European house is in fact a thermostat. AC may not be common in homes here but heating sure is and needs a thermostat.

I mean I doubt he would have been safe even if he didn’t go back. Maybe a little bit, but how long before he gets polonium tea, or nerve agented?

Another thing to blame Thatcher for

How are these people able to function in society with literally zero brain matter?

Over here (UK) it’s pretty common for doors to be multi point locking, so you shut the door and lift the handle which engages a series of extra bolts between the door and frame, most commonly one at the handle then one at the top and bottom of the frame. The early PVC doors that introduced multi point locking did have an issue (poor construction) where people could kick out the middle panel leaving the frame in place, newer ones have improved it, and there are more expensive doors which are made of different materials, but will almost always feature multi point locking.
