How about "Where is our heritage demonstrably most risk from metal detecting"? It isn't lost, it's part of the archaeological record.

Can someone much wiser please let me know what's the point of buying a game on Google Play to refund a min later? Do they turn their internet off and play it and then it disappears when they log back in? It has to be something like this. #gamedev

Outer Worlds 1 is a top tier game. If you enjoy Fallout, but especially New Vegas, it’s a must-play. No question. Complete edition is on sale for $15 on PS and Switch both right now. Not sure about Xbox or PC, but the standard version that’s not remastered is on game pass.

The discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files only received a handful of GOP votes.
But when we get the actual vote to release them, I'm presuming we'll see a whole lot more, right?

@obsidian.net Hello! ☺️
I’m looking at building the Incognito from #OuterWorlds2 as corvette in #NoMansSky.
Having trouble getting decent views of it in game, so are there any drawings/plans/images showing more detailed/better views of it that you could show us? 👍

We tested GPT-5 and GPT-4o to see if GPT-5 was safer & found that actually GPT-5 gave MORE harmful responses.

If you ordered Metroid Prime 4 on Best Buy GCU back in around 2018, you may get a phone call from Best Buy asking if you still want the game with 20% off discount. They'll need to reorder it the game for you since the order is too old for their system (unfortunately can't change to Switch 2 Edition)

I'm sure a lot of trans people in the UK would love to spend more time outside! Can you do something about your party's contradictory and incoherent stance on the EHRC and Supreme Court's bathroom guidelines, which makes "outside" much less safe for us?

Well..... PPI scam, Brexit vote, Johnson as PM? A government might almost think you can fool a lot of Brits a lot of the time.
So this government really thinks if they call the results of “getting lots of data and analysing it” “AI-Generated” we’ll all think:
“what an effective and modern gov we have”
“Well this must increase attendance, it’s AI generated”
What fools do they take us for?

I'm no techie, but how are they monitoring British people using VPNs if a VPN hides the user's location? (Genuine question btw, not snark for once!)
The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.
The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.
