It ended in 2012 as predicted, we're all just living on the still warm corpse and most people haven't realised yet.

So the main part of a computer that controls everything has a specific set of things it can do. Imagine that each of these things can be triggered by a button on a control panel.

Every company making this part of the computer has their own set of things and layout for the buttons to trigger them and you have to pay them money to learn what the things are and how to press the buttons.

RISC-V offers a set of things and a button layout that the community can freely see and use.

In this example a computer program is just the list of instructions saying which buttons to press in what order.

My wife has lived in the UK for 20 years on an EU passport, she was 12 when she moved here, she is directly impacted by general elections as are all of us who live in the UK. This is the first year she can vote in one of these elections because we finally scrapped the money together to apply for her citizenship.

How does someone who has not lived in the country for 50 years have more of a say than the people living here. It doesn't make sense.

Not only adds it as a shortcut, but also allows you to use steam input to remap controls, very useful on the deck.

I love this because it means Picard is even more of a bad ass rebel.

Instant isn't as terrible as a lot of people make out but you also don't need to complicate fresh brewed coffee either, brewing in a french press is only slightly more inconvenient than instant but gives a much better tasting coffee.

What I can't forgive is incorrectly brewed fresh coffee. People who use a drip coffee machine and leave it in the jug burning and going stale for hours, I just don't get it instant would be better in that case. Then you have the people that microwave coffee until it's bubbling and sunder why it tastes bitter.

If you find it please share, I'd love to take a look, I'm terrible with remembering knots.

I usually go with Train Track, but I've had to replace my laces recently while away and could only get ones that were too thick to double up in the eyelets so reverted to Ladder.

I find these very similar in feel to the straight methods but you can get them much tighter. Also depending on the shoes you can hide the verticals for the train track method behind the eyelets which has a distinctive look.

If you like this sort of thing check out Ian's Shoelace Site, has hundreds of examples of this sort of thing for every scenario possible.

This is starting to feel like their way of blocking Fallout London from releasing indefinitely.
