The lockdowns were yet another example of Tory hypocrisy and the fines should not be being enforced.
Neither should she have lost her job for voicing concerns. Agree or disagree with those concerns, people should be able to speak out against things in their workplace without fear of retribution.
Given how WW2 started Stalin should have thrown himself into the mix.
Interested in what your "moral of the story" is?
They did not "fold to the Tories on every issue".
For a minor coalition partner they surprisingly well at getting a number of their manifesto pledges inacted.
..and it's clear to see by how much damage the Tories did after 2015 how much the LDs reigned in the Tories.
Yes, you're going to cite the student loans. The Tories made it a choice between votes on that and a referendum on voting reform. They went with the referendum. The loans vote wasn't even close if I recall correctly. Of course, the referendum was a sham as well.
They know that there is more to be lost by saying something concrete and enraging a set of people during the campaign, rather than sitting uncomfortabley on the fence for a few weeks. It's not long enough to enrage both sides completely, and losing a few more fanatical votes is a net-positive.
It's on every issue, not just this one. It bodes poorly for the incoming government.
There's no drive to act on points of principle. There's nothing except the desire to not upset the applecart. I suspect we're in for a government that operates "on the quiet", not taking policies to the public but just taking action through the machinery of government. With no strong opposition I think we'll be getting very little public scrutiny because "they know best".
I'm hoping the the LDs become large enough to come second and we get a new voice in opposition. I think the odds are against it though.
While I was vacating my colleagues...
I'm reminded of a scene from The Wire:

The thing is we're not discussing the users. If it's just the users (as hexbear seems to be from what I've seen) then I don't really care.
We're discussing the mods, and the fact that they are basically they are engaging in the equivalent of holocaust denial.
A split Tory vote? I doubt that's why she did it, but...
Thanks Holly!

Egads! Why?
"set the magic environment variable because the tool chain will mis-detect the architecture of your unsupported card"
I don't think it's misdetecting it. Rather it detects it correctly, tries to use specific support for that device, but then finds that the support was switched off at compile time. The environment variable forces it to pretend to be a different (very similar) device.
Clunky, yes.
I think the problem the masses have is that now that sky-daddy is largely ignored it hasn't stopped the desire to be told what to think. Thinking for ones self is hard. It takes time and effort. People don't want to do it. People want somebody else to do it.
Science has truth passed down from upon high by priests who carry out mystic rituals to give them sacred knowledge.
Bollocks! We've built another ruddy religion.
Comparing base model to base model I think Cascade is quite a lot better than SDXL, but .....and it's an enormous but... It seems to have been shunned by the community.
Maybe nobody with resources to do training is interested in a model with commercial restrictions, or the multi-model flow was just too different for people. Not sure, but the output of the base model can be really nice. Not always, but I find the biggest errors are people taking on a painterly/waxy appearance rather than the arm turning into a leg body horror you can get with SDXL. I think the "compressed" Stage C works to keep the composition together across the whole image more.

I'm old school.
They've got problems in their tests though. There are 5 packages in core that are "unreproducible" and one is the kernel. Pretty significant package, except it fails because of a timeout.
Glass bottle recycling is about reuse. Wash the bottle and use it again.
In the UK off-licenses (liquor stores) used to partake in a scheme where they'd take your empties and give you money off your next purchase. Those bottles were then sent back to the bottling plant to be reused. It went away with the wide spread use of plastic bottles (80s).
Aas far as I'm aware, there's no reason not to do it again except the distribution network is more centralised now, and sending stuff back is something nobody budgets for. I expect this is the "too complicated aspect".
The linked post says...
...but not rolling stock.
So just the building and maintenance of the rail network. Not the franchises that run on the rail network.
SMH!
...but our quads and glutes would be stonking.

The feeling I'm getting is that Tories will mostly be staying at home on polling day, and I don't think that's going to be a wipeout in the long term. I don't think the bar will have to be very high for them to return next time.
What this election is very likely to do is wipeout their ability to raise money, and that's the big long term danger for them.
