In the UK we normally call these 'yoghurt pots'. If you type 'yogurt pot terrain' into Google, you'll get examples of ork huts, bunkers, silos, towers etc.

Well, Edward would still peep "hello" at him, at least. But, yeah, Gordon just laughed and said "serves you right" when he passed.

From an outsider's perspective, I think a lot of people think you guys sailed past the point of no return back in the 80s.

I think the only correct answer will be "there are lots of different reasons".

My wife took my last name, even though it's not a good one and I suggested that we pick a new one.

Here are a couple of her reasons:

1. She wanted us to have the same surname.

2. She was very close friends with my cousins growing up, so the name didn't seem weird to her.

3. Tradition - she'd always assumed she would change her name to her husband's name, so that seemed the most normal thing to do.

We could technically do it now, but you'd need a ton of quality control.

A basic workflow:

Use an image generator to generate start (and optionally end) frames of each scene.

Use a video generator like Runway to create the scene.

Use something to generate the speech, either a realistic text-to-speech engine or a record the dialog yourself and use AI voice changing software.

Use a lip synch AI to match the mouth flaps to the audio.

Generate music using something like Udio

Job done.

All these technologies exist and in some capacity are available to use. The only issue at the moment is consistent quality. This is coming on in leaps and bounds, however.

Ah, ok - that's fair.

I thought you were implying that we had some kind of firewall like China or something!

I agree, US sites geolocking their content is sometimes a pain, but I get your meaning. We do tend to be more comfortable with our governments trying to protect us than the Americans seem to.

I'm really curious about what you think you're not being allowed to visit on the internet.

I can't think of a single thing that's 'blocked'.

Unless you're under 13, of course, in which case I concede there are a lot of restrictions - but that's a good thing.

Thank you! This is always the first thing that pops into my head whenever I read somebody using "females" instead of "women"

Running as a moderate party just continously pushes America politics right.

100% this

In the UK the left-wing party, Labour, very drastically moved themselves to the centre, rebranding as New Labour.

Since then, the Conservatives have increasingly adopted far-right policies and everybody just accepts it as normal.

At our GP surgery, there are a couple of doctors who won't consult on birth control matters for religious reasons.

There's just a sign at the reception saying that if you need to discuss birth control, please let the receptionist know and they'll be sure to assign a different doctor.

I love the optimism here, but unless there was a significant potential for profit, none of the people who have the resources to begin collecting ocean plastics could care less.

The sad truth is that the majority of the world's resources are owned and controlled by a handful of psychopaths.
