The article IS about a public school. State schools in the UK are not open to the general public, you must live in its catchment area to be able to get your kids inside and often match other criteria as well. Private schools are called public in the UK because they don't have restrictions and are open to all members of public - if you have cash then your kids can study.

Pretty serious. Recessions affect different layers of the economy at different times. First markets crash, but your income and job security stays the same. Then markets plateau, but workers start losing jobs. Finally, markets start to grow again, but you're still living under the bridge.

If you're not a billionaire, this is the best time to invest - you still have a job, but markets are going down rapidly. You won't have cash later on.

That looks an awful lot like a pandemic mini crash. If you invest in ETF right now, you'll make shit loads of money out of thin air next year.

Will they actually work? UK has the second most cameras after China, but pretty much none of them work or are accessible by police, so they do fuck all.

C++ is a meme.

Nah, Wolfenstein and Doom were not the last. GTA and TES brought us open world games later on. Max Payne brought us cinema-like adventures. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is just a complete mind fuck never seen before. And you're forgetting VR, VR is full of unprecedented experiences, from physical action in Beat Saber to immersive story in HL: Alyx to time manipulating Superhot VR. And my personal favourite - No Man's Sky, it's just a very unusual game.

There are two ways of looking at it.

  1. The time machine is using itself as a point of reference to comply with general relativity. The only way to time travel is to move forward in time. The way to move through time would be to move a lot faster than the Earth, so that every minute for you inside the time machine would equal to many years for earthlings. And if you're moving that fast you'll fly away from Earth.
  2. The time machine somehow has a knowledge of the whole universe, this way a Newtonian model applies and an absolute point of reference exists. That allows unrestricted travel both forwards and backwards in time, but that also means that the Earth will inevitably move from under the machine to follow its path across the universe.

No matter how you twist it you'll end up all alone in space. You need a machine which can move through both time and space at the same time.

Because people making these memes are paedos.

Oh, it will help. Elon can afford to tank the losses from share price fall, then he'll grab loads more with a discount and there will be an eventual rebound. And then we will have the very first trillionaire in the world.

I guess one of the reasons for Musk to murder Twitter shares was to test how effectively he can tank the financial damage and still ride it out before going full nuclear on his companies.

Reminds me of one British twat called Humphrey Smith, who owns all companies as unlimited and tanks all legal expenses himself so he can do whatever the fuck he wants with them and with staff. Oh, he also owns a town and does whatever the fuck he wants there too.

That's how all computing hardware works since the early days of the industry apart from x86 architecture. Not sure why people only started noticing that recently after literally decades of software obsolescence.
