It would be HD if it was hard drive.

I think the whole point of squatting is in empty properties...
You can't squat if someone lives there.
Overwatering any plants can cause issues. Give a little time for them to recover, staring again seems excessive when you are already quite far along.
Speed of growth will change as a plant moves through the various growth stages.
Good, real estate speculation is nothing more than high stakes scalping. And scalpers are scum.

These are the rules for normal people..
Inheritance Tax
is a tax on the estate (the property, money and possessions) of someone who’s died.
There’s normally no Inheritance Tax to pay if either:
- the value of your estate is below the £325,000 threshold
- you leave everything above the £325,000 threshold to your spouse, civil partner, a charity or a community amateur sports club
The standard Inheritance Tax rate is 40%. It’s only charged on the part of your estate that’s above the threshold.

Business Relief for Inheritance Tax
What qualifies for Business Relief
You can get 100% Business Relief on:
- a business or interest in a business
- shares in an unlisted company
You can get 50% Business Relief on:
- shares controlling more than 50% of the voting rights in a listed company
- land, buildings or machinery owned by the deceased and used in a business they were a partner in or controlled
- land, buildings or machinery used in the business and held in a trust that it has the right to benefit from
You can only get relief if the deceased owned the business or asset for at least 2 years before they died.

I guess there's a nice idea behind the process. But tbh, I don't even remember what instance I joined. I tried joining a tech instance but my application was rejected ... I'm really not that interested in applying like it's a job or something. (Though I understand lots of IRL groups have application processes)
No doubt these policies will bring short term (1 - 5 years) benefits, cheaper oil and less regulation is likely to reduce costs to consumers.
But long term, that's when the more shit will hit the fan.
I use a £20 lidl usb c to hdmi dongle for the first monitor and then plugging in the 2nd monitor via the laptop hdmi port.
This gives 2 monitors plus the laptop screen - I've not used a usb c adapter with 2 hdmi, so not sure if it would work for 3 external monitors.
From April 2026, a 20% tax rate – half the headline inheritance tax rate of 40% – will be applied to the value of farms and businesses worth more than £1m when they are passed on.
I think this is what they are complaining about.
UWB looks very cool for finding things from the phone (without the tracker ringing). Samsung Smart tag 2 does this.
I've picked up a Moto tag that has UWB and works with Google's find my network - my understanding is that this will work like apple air tags which can use any iPhone to report and track it's location. Though it's not doing all of these things just yet!
These 2 videos, whilst slightly rambling, covered a lot.
I'd guess the codebase that keeps Word running is so convoluted by now they have trouble shoehorning it in.
It's such a stupid thing, not only do people have to pay over the odds to scalpers, but how do people go about claiming on warranty or returns.
Ok, what film is this from?
Could country A try to decrease exports to country B and increase exports to country C, D, and E, perhaps by lowering the cost in C, D, and E?
I don't have any evidence for, and this document is just too long for me to read at this late hour. [IMF - Macroeconomic Consequences of Tariffs](Macroeconomic Consequences of Tariffs. https://www.imf.org/-/media/Files/Publications/WP/2019/wp1909.ashx)
Negative European energy prices hit record levels. Renewable energy isn't great for producers!
Rapid rollout of solar and wind generation has outpaced ability to store power
> While beneficial to consumers who are able to take advantage, for example by charging an electric car or running appliances, it also threatens to undermine the viability of Europe's renewable energy projects, which are critical to hitting net zero targets.
> "It's akin to a hara-kiri," said Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodities analyst at Swedish lender SEB "Everyone knows that if you produce too much oil, the price will crash and producers lose money. And there's nothing different in renewable energy and power either."
I almost can't believe the absolute shitiness of this. I suppose the implication is why would producers build power stations (no doubt with govt. subsidises!) if they can't make a profit!
I'm all for conservation, but I really have mixed feelings on this one
The Fen Raft Spider is roughly the size of an adult male’s hand, and can spin webs as big as pizzas (25cm).
They are also semi-aquatic and can run across the water’s surface to capture their prey.
Steam Deck Won’t Survive 2025 Without A Significant Upgrade. - (Original clickbait headline and not my opinion!)
I personally have a huge backlog of games I'm happily playing through on the deck. And, having been burnt a few times (Cyberpunk, No Mans Sky ..), I very rarely buy new full priced games anyway (better to wait for a discount and some patches!)
But according to this rather clickbate article ...
> In the last month alone, we’ve seen three disappointing examples of games that are too demanding for the Deck. Star Wars Outlaws is unplayable on Low settings, even with FSR set to “Ultra Performance.” Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 can’t reach a steady 30fps at the lowest quality setting. And based on the demo, Final Fantasy 16 is unplayable without FSR and Frame Generation, and afflicted with stuttering and horrible frame pacing with those scaling features enabled.
I don't remember this scene from Indiana Jones
I'm not sure I remember the part where Indy is buried chest deep in sand with one fist defiantly raised ... It looks more like a character model glitched under the map!
Ubisoft's customer values
An executive at Assassin’s Creed maker Ubisoft has said gamers will need to get “comfortable” not owning their games before video game subscriptions truly take off.
