The Corsair software allows you to create a custom curve for fan speeds by CPU temperature, which I use. It also has a lot of temperature and speed monitors which are sometimes useful, and RGB effects, which I never use. I believe there are others ways to achieve the fine grained control of fan speeds in Linux (or maybe the BIOS), but it is something I would need to get to grips with before considering moving to Linux.

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. This book is a good, non-nonsense dissection of the folly of religion. He has also written many books on religion too, any of which are well worth a read.

Johnson has been vaccinated against COVID several times, and it was on the news at the time. He is publicly pro-vaccine.

The hairdryer thing was probably before vaccines were available, although this article does not make that clear.

Quite. My guess is in vitro fertilisation, followed by gene editing of the fertilised egg, before implantation. Then you can breed a population of GM pigs suitable for organ transplants.

When in the pig life cycle are the genes edited? Is this in the embryo or later on? Surely not after birth?

That does not sound right. They should be promoting you to enter the number on the device where you initiated the authentication, not on your phone; at least that is how it works for me when I connect my company laptop to VPN - I have to use MS Authenticator on my phone, which shows a number (protected by two biometrics), which I then have to enter on my laptop.

You definitely don’t need advanced maths for most programming, especially the usual enterprise/web development. I have worked for almost 35 years as a programmer, the last 25 years as a senior developer, and my math skills are not great. My formal maths education finished at age 16, and I only scored an average grade in the exam. Programming is a distinct skill from maths, and if you have some natural aptitude and a real interest in it, then you can make a career as a developer, mostly learning as you go. Some formal computer science education may be useful too, although I did not have much of that either.

I’m afraid that does not help, fiction or non-fiction, it is all the same to me. It is amusing to try and spot the clear fakes, and to second guess the responses - will it be NTA or YTA?

I probably need to go cold turkey.

I accept everything you say, but I am still subscribed to it and read it a lot, even gasp following the Reddit link to the replies. Someone help me please with my addiction.

There is also a private health care sector, with its own hospitals. A lot of consultants work in both the public (NHS) and private sectors, e.g., one day a week they will have a private clinic at a private hospital. The private sector is funded by insurance, and this is often a perk offered by employers. Waiting lists are generally shorter in the private sector, but, in my experience, the expertise and level of care is no better than the NHS.
