I don't know why electron has to use so much memory up though. It seems to use however much RAM is currently available when it boots, the more RAM system has the more electron seems to think it needs.

It takes forever to boot I know that and that's from fast food which is extra pathetic.

It's just that I don't think that knowing a bunch of historical facts that most people never retain, if they're taught them at all, is really what's necessary for someone to integrate into British culture.

Think of any nation and you can immediately name national traits, Peru has a very different cultural backdrop than Germany for example. Knowledge of that is what the citizenship test should be checking for. Not whether or not I can remember a bunch of dates from the attached guide otherwise it's much more about sending the accompanying book as it is about actually helping people integrate

Because I don't think anyone in the Northern Ireland assembly could answer that question. I couldn't tell you how many constituencies there are in England, only that there's a lot. Some things aren't worth knowing.

When it comes to plastic patriots it's the british-born nationals that are more likely to be the problem, the ones that want to immigrate tend to be okay.

Besides I don't think it's possible for anyone to be a bigger prick than Tommy 10 names.

Most of the time it's zero.

Oh I know they're all about who won what battle in 1791. I had one question that asked when Scotland and England became one nation, I mean I know roughly when it was (I know which century it occurred in) but I couldn't give you the exact date.

There are the same number of hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water as there is stars in the entire solar system.

Oh they do, at a great expense, and the committee writes a very long detailed document about why their idea is pants on head crazy, which of course they don't like, so they ignore the committee and then they do it anyway.

But the game publishers already had licence, and if they didn't have a licence then their beef is with the publishers not the storefront.

Anyway I've bought GTA V from physical brick and mortar stores in the past, so are they going to start suing the brick and mortar stores as well?

Hopefully they lose this case because copyright law is an absolute joke. It hasn't been fit for purpose for about 20 years.

Yeah I probably wouldn't recommend getting an Apple II

The last place I saw it as an option was on the framework website.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
