Just one example of the lies and misinformation out there:

Smart people I know believe that we have to go Nuclear because it's the only green way to achieve baseload.

When press on what baseload is, they seem to think it's the minimum amount of power needed to keep the grid up.

Which for anyone listening in, is backwards, baseload is actually the minimum amount of load required because it's un-economical to spin old coal burners down. That's why people used to heat their water at night on the cheap, because the power HAD to go somewhere.

And these are smart people, just disinterested in the how and why of electricity generation.
They flick a switch, the lights come on.
Every 3 months they pay a bill and tut-tut about how expensive it is now "because of the green obsession".

I think all the existing answers are on the basis of creating a new Linux VM.

And if I understand you correctly, you already have a bare metal Linux install that you want to run whilst Windows is up.

This is the best search result I could find: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=93437

It sounds like Virtualbox will indeed create a pseudo vhdx that points to a real partition, but windows is going to give you permissions drama.

The above link is out of date though, so its best viewed as info rather than guide.

Good luck.

You could read David Leigh's book, in which he published the full decryption key: https://www.amazon.com/WikiLeaks-Inside-Julian-Assanges-Secrecy/dp/161039061X

That's literally how he leaked it.

The wikipedia article on it has the whole "he said - she said":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks:_Inside_Julian_Assange%27s_War_on_Secrecy

Including the lie that is frequently parroted about Assange not caring about people dying.

Its technically US soil, so he could enter his plea there in a US court, but its the closest place to Australia, because he obviously refused to step foot on the American continent.

That source doesn’t have a link to their paper that works.

Yeah, link rot.
I did some googling for you: https://www.ceem.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/documents/Low%20Emission%20Fossil%20Scenarios.pdf

But as far as I know we can’t build anywhere near enough hydro in Australia.

https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_Library/pubs/rp/rp2021/AustralianElectricityOptionsPumpedHydro

A study at the Australian National University (ANU) identified about 3,000 low-cost potential sites around Australia with head typically better than 300 metres and storage larger than one gigalitre (see Figure 3). The sites identified have a combined energy storage potential of around 163,000 GWh. To put this into perspective, a transition to a 100% renewable electricity system would need 450 GWh of PHES storage. The potential pumped hydro energy storage resource is almost 300 times more than required. Developers can afford to be very selective since only about 20 sites (the best 0.1% of sites) would be required to support 100% renewable electricity generation.

Emphasis mine.

You can interoperate with googles RCS.
If you are willing and able to enter a partnership like Samsung, you can do it fully (including encryption support etc).

Google are determined to not make it easy, and I agree with you, it appears to be yet another messaging land grab.

Trying to put myself in their headspace for a moment, one justification for making it hard is to stop thousands of apps coming out declaring "full RCS support!" through the APIs, then screwing the pooch (through poor security or deliberate back doors or or or).
Right now Google are desperately attempting to make RCS happen, after almost a decade of trying and failing to make various carriers play ball.
They do not want any bad press about how feature poor/insecure/slow/buggy it is right now.

You repeatedly speak of a trial: "he deserves to see trial", "avoid trial", "If he wants a trial here". And his supposed guilt.

Assange is not a US citizen.
At no point during any of this was he in the US.

There are no valid charges to even place against him, and if he was a citizen of a competing country like Russia, China, India etc we'd hear NOTHING about his role in any of this, because those countries governments would tell the US to sod off.

The truth here is that the US is desperate to get access to him so that they can make an example of him, so that others are less likely to share embarrassing US secrets in the future.

The little jabs about "worked with Russians" (ooh, he's working with the ENEMY) and how "he’s guilty and he knows he’s guilty" (he must be guilty, he's running!) are some straight up bullshit talking points from the likes of Tucker Carlson.
I mean not Tucker Carlson now (nose up Putins ass), Tucker Carlson then (SOME PEOPLE say that you beat your wife, I'M not saying you beat your wife, BUT a lot of people are saying it, and she had a bruise on her arm the other day. It does make you wonder, doesn't it?)

$3.50, with onions and sauce on cafe cut (thick) white bread.

Isn’t the foam lining replaceable?

A helmet is like an Ogre (or an onion, but never parfait).

I did a quick search for a diagram to illustrate this, and this one will do:

On the outside, there will be a hard layer, normally made out of Fibreglass, Polycarbonate or Carbon Fiber depending on your budget and tolerance for weight. Beyond simply protecting the next layer, it's primary purpose is to spread any impact trauma across the next layer.
Under that will be a thick layer of expanded polystyrene foam - this is what saves your head in the event of unplanned rapid deceleration.
Under than will be some comfort padding, normally attached to removable liners, which helps to keep the helmet comfortably in place on your head. This is the layer can be removed for washing/replacement.

The one we are really worried about degrading is the polystyrene one, which isn't readily replaceable.

The outer shell is normally sculpted somewhat to assist with aerodynamics, which decrease wind buffeting and noise for the rider.
There's also vents and air channels, visor ratcheting mechanisms and on some helmets provisions for bluetooth communications systems, but that's a whole other story.

Your helmet is arguably the most important piece of kit you have, and the groupthink is to pay as much as you can afford about every 5 years (whether you ride every day or bi-annually).

Wait until they find out about how much profit there is in elderly homes for us

Wait?
The "village" my grandparents moved into had to be bought into, which is fine.
They had to sell their house to do so, again fine.
When they died, we couldn't sell it, the village "bought it back" from us, for about 1/4 of what was paid for it AND we had to have it repainted and new carpets etc at our expense.
I understand the new tenants bought it at market rate, which is a HUGE profit for the company running the village.
And it's not like that expense paid for the various shared facilities or groundskeeping or anything like that, no that was all fees on top.

Long rant, didn't read: The government needs to step in and take control of this, private companies can't be trusted.
