In other words, it went into a defrost cycle.
Some large supermarkets (in the UK at least) sell their capacity to the National Grid so it can be balanced in times of demand. They agree to turn off their freezers for a set amount of time to create a "virtual battery".

The UK doesn't have a president, so it normally refers to the US president in general context.

Restricting it to physical premises and non-digital (aka betting shops pre Internet) would solve most of the issue.

Incentivize who? The consumer?

You outlaw (/regulate) the marketing of and sponsorship related to. Target the incentives.

It's the spy agencies you hear nothing of you should worry about.
The SLA excludes force majeure.
Splitting hairs, but the public health bodies are separate from the National Health Services (so there exists Public Health England _and_ NHS England). Public health is slightly different to healthcare, but of course they work together.

Oddly, Public Health Scotland is part of NHS Scotland; but Public Health England is not part of NHS England, it's a parallel department.

A lot of powers are devolved away from England to each other country in the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devolution_in_the_United_Kingd...
Each country also has their own Public Health bodies, so pretty much everything related to health is devolved

You give them the keys, then they go to the site to collect your item.
"In this model, mice lived in specially designed cages where food was accessed through a hinged, weighted lid. To eat, the mice had to lift the lid while wearing a small shoulder collar, causing a squat-like movement that engaged the muscle contractions people use during resistance exercise. The load was gradually increased over several days, mimicking progressive strength training."

So the study doesn't really show that weighlifting per se is beneficial, but putting food behind weighted hatches is?

"Voluntary wheel running (EEX) was conducted as previously described in single-housed mice with access to voluntary running wheels and food and water ad-libitum,"

And the runners could each as much as they liked?

Sounds like bunk.

Yes, and just yesterday a passenger train was routed into the path of a freight train due to some points failure. It does make you wonder. https://www.railmagazine.com/news/points-failure-results-in-...

A bit part of education is (should be) independent learning with textbooks and reading. You don't need to be "tutored".

When I was 8, I could use the Internet at school but every website was whitelisted.

I'm probably going down a conspiracy theory, but it's notable when all the Five Eyes countries seem to start talking about the same problem and pushing through legislation. The US would probably do the same if not for the constitution.

Re:Ask HN: We just had an actual UUID v4 collision... on Friday May 08, 2026 @02:04PM (#48066657)
Are your UUIDs generated client side or server side? If it's client side, it could be due to a crawling bot. Googlebot for example executes Javascript using deterministic "randomness".
In Europe, the max interchange fee is 0.3%. In the US, the average is 2%. So the relative impact of fraud is much higher.

I got a 98-percentile result and realised my Mac had Night Shift turned on.
If you're using R in 2026, you're probably invoking code compiled from Fortran from the 70s/80s somewhere along the line. It's a foundation for a lot of numerical computing.
