That wiki entry literally says that it was designed to help during childbirth…

“for symphysiotomy and excision of diseased bone, respectively.”

Follow the link for symphysiotomy and it says “Symphysiotomy is a surgical procedure in which the cartilage of the pubic symphysis is divided to widen the pelvis allowing childbirth when there is a mechanical problem (obstructed labour).”

I like it

Not really. Adobe creative cloud is used my almost all graphic/media professionals, yet doesn’t work on Linux… that’s not very niche

As much as everyone pushes Linux, it’s not a suitable replacement in a lot of scenarios

That will eventually happen to affinity I’m sure, but at least affinity is ~5% the price a perpetual CS6 license was.

I’ve had depression for years. You get good at pretending to be happy/ok and you mostly just become numb and very good at hiding things on the outside.

Having a weatherproof case made wouldn’t be too much issue. Let me know if you go ahead with it and maybe I can do the case.

Cost wouldn’t be feasible for 1-offs, but any volume orders and the price for the cases would come straight down.

Never heard of banger racing?

Ah, I misread the title. I thought it was a sale of games made by epic. Not an ‘epic games sale’. 🙄

I’m not sure Epic would discount their games to distract from PS layoffs

6.1 is still slightly smaller than the S24 OP is talking about.

Although Apple also remove features from the Plus phones when it comes to the camera.

I know this is an android /c, but I have the iPhone 15 Pro, so miss out on the upgraded camera.

I agree with OP. The big phones are just too big. I like the size of the standard size phones.

Congrats, you just invented ProtonMail

Prick.

It lets out a nice amount of frustration when someone’s being a prick.

The point isn’t to stay longer, it’s to provide proof that you will leave to obtain the visa in the first place. Legitimate visa applications are declined all the time, so if this helps your application, why not?

This is quite common in patent infringement cases and isn’t something granted to Apple because they’re Apple.

This happened at a company I used to work and that only had ~$10M turnover.

Ha ha, no.

100% of the people who spam the same shitty joke format about dying to dad jokes die.

Basically, yes. You can get a lease for cheaper, but have no option to buy. PCP you have the option to buy, but few people actually take it.

It means a lot are driving cars they can’t really afford.

Say you buy a car for £40k, finance it on PCP and you effectively make payments against a £20k loan. At the end of the agreement, you can buy the car for the remaining £20k, or hand the car back. Often the car will be worth £20k-£25k. Most dealerships will say ‘hey you can just take this new car’ and they get a £25k car for £20k. Dealerships make more sales of new cars and make more on the 2nd hand cars. Meanwhile those paying don’t actually own anything at the end and have continuous payments.

The only saving grace is if the car is worth less than the outstanding amount. If the car is worth £16k and you have £20k outstanding, you can just hand the car back and walk away. You aren’t obliged to buy the car or take out a new loan.

You can also pay off the finance yourself for the £20k, then sell that car on to get the £25k. But no one does because it’s not convenient like just taking a brand new shiny car.
