Do bombs explode? Or is it the explosives inside of them that are exploding?

Did it really need quotes?
Please don't "well actually" this

Jfc Christ Lemmy.

Every single comment misunderstanding the point. The batteries are exploding because there's explosives in them. This does make them exploding batteries. They explode because they are partially made with explosives. Please don't "well actually" this.

No this is not a description of something Israel did, it's a hypothetical way to do a similar attack to show how within reach of idiot terrorists it is.

Raising the idea of doing this so everyone is thinking about it is extremely bad for us all. Thanks Israel.

404 broke this with investigate journalism. Account needed to read, to prevent ai scraping.

You can build excellent expert systems that will definitely help a doctor remember all the illnesses, know what questions to ask to narrow things down or double check it's not something weird, and provide options for treatment.

These exist and are good

Chatgpt isn't an expert system and doctors using it like one need a serious warning from the BMC and would eventually need to be struck off, same as using ouija boards or bones to diagnose illnesses.

The electric cars are powered by gas and coal in the uk. We are a long way from pure renewable electricity and between mining and shipping metals, steel, and tyres they're not quite the perfect green vehicles they're presented as.

Totally worth reading, just great internet creativity

It's just a total coincidence the costs are the same then? Weird story

Easier to show you the process. It's by council , so each can have different rules, but Southwark has been the council with the most council houses for a long time so it's a good enough example. Basically you need to have lived there a while and not own your own home. Getting to the top of the list is probably harder than getting on it.

And yes the problem is the councils are banned from borrowing to build housing or using proceeds from selling to build more as I understand.

It's not campaign costs that are the issue. You're working full time on a campaign, you really have to quit or take six weeks off with your boss being ok with you never coming back.

Many people work jobs where this would be seen as a great thing for the firm, many do not

So how do you stand for election with no income for months on end?
