Just to stir things up, hydrogen mixed with natural gas makes a great substitute for the old Towns Gas which consisted of roughly hydrogen 50%, methane 35%, carbon monoxide 10%, and ethylene 5%.
Forget the carbon monoxide and ethylene and a 60/40 mix of natural gas and hydrogen would make a great Towns Gas substitute. Unlike pure hydrogen it would also be easy to distribute around the country.
Game plan: Catch you prince, bathe in the limelight. 5 years down the line, divorce & live on the past glories.
Maybe — they are both a little bit broken from a mental health perspective as a result of their environments in their formative years. If they lean on each other that can help bind their relationship, but certainly they will face a lot of challenges.
I don’t think nature would win after a nuclear exchange between, say, NATO and the Russian Federation though, Nolan.
+1 My wife has distant cousins who live on the western side of the Fulda Gap. This area was occupied by US troops during the Cold War and it was an open secret to the Germans that the Yanks had buried dozens of tactical nuclear munitions in the surrounding area and that they would be detonated as huge, very dirty radioactive land mines to blunt any Soviet advance.
Imo it was an open secret in the true spirit of MAD, but ‘better dead than Red’ did not go down too well with the natives!
It was also well-known that the prime US strategy at that time was to fight any nuclear war well away from the US!
If the C++ committee are driven by a desire to eliminate major sources of hacker attack then automatically releasing allocated memory has to have been high up on the list.
At one time in my life I had the privilege and chore of accompanying my bosses on a Corporate Gulf-Stream Jet around southern and eastern Asia. We did not go near the ‘ordinary’ terminals or baggage handling and slightly like the Royals, all our passports, visas, letters of introduction etc disappeared into the hands of a minder well before getting to the starting airport. (some of the airports were military, and a few of the flights were trans-shipments to knuckle-biting Mil-8s).
In the Middle East my wife lost her passport to some official almost as soon as she landed, and much to her annoyance needed a letter from me releasing her passport before she could leave the country!
I am therefore a complete believer in that part of Megan’s tale, and obviously some Palace brown-nose is trying to spread a little dirt!
Apparently, Megan had taken 13 trips abroad and she could not do that without a passport. She claimed her passport was taken away and seen again until getting to California.
May be completely true. One of the equerries would normally carry all that stuff. It is well known that the Queen never carries any money – someone else handles all that mundane paperwork and finances.
The solution to the problem is to use a “smart” pointer. A smart pointer is a class object so it has a destructor that destroys the objects it points to when it goes out of scope
Nice but will it work with (say) memory allocated to hold a large object or structure that has been allocated with alloc, calloc, malloc etc?
A failure in patrimony and the cost of an ineffective Dildo Harding …
£37 billions — all wasted!
Do not believe the Bojo BS about Test & Trace, Dildo ignored all scientific advice and gutted an effective Public Health/Local Authority system to give money to inexperienced private companies. Even the testing system only became effective when public resources were brought into play.
Dominic Cummings has been rewarded with a 40% pay rise, all at the time this Government says it can only afford a derisory 1% NHS pay rise.
Failures and pariahs rewarded while they give a kick in the teeth to those who deserve much better. BoJo even had the gall to lie in Parliament (once again) by saying that others had voted against a bigger pay rise.
A couple of people have posted about skin problems. You may be interested in the report that Dermol is just as good as alcohol sanitizer in killing off any Covid on your skin.
According to Ars, the car makers share my dislike of hydrogen as an automotive fuel.

But of course the legitimacy of Queen Victoria has also been questioned with the finger of suspicion placed against dashing Sir John Conroy who had been observed in compromising positions with Victoria’s mother. He also appears to have originated the haemophilia gene that plagues the royals.
Conroy however was not ginger!
Still not entirely sure that Harry IS Charles’s son.
Apparently both parents have to have the Ginger gene.

It is however hard to find any ginger ancestors on Charle’s side, but the wife of George III, Queen Charlotte, may well of been from mixed Portuguese-African descent!
Watching the interview, after Harry joined her, I thought they said that there was some nuance around that ‘right’ and there may well be some rule changing to exclude them. That’s from memory and not detail – I’ll check back on it later.
Yeah, an anti-Ginger move cannot be excluded!
OK now.
Yesterday I tried to post about the first signs of a Spring. The local pubs are restocking their draft beer!
And on a related note, the Visual Studio Console Window now supports ANSI control codes so cout << char(27) << “[4;31m Hello”; prints Hello in underlined red text.
I suspect that it goes all the way back to Dos/Unix days.
Incidentally iirc things like code pages etc used to go in the header files, rather than being hard coded into the source file.
Harry knows that Archie would never have a title and everything that goes with it,
Apparently untrue. As soon as Charles takes the throne then his grandchildren automatically receive the title of Prince or Princess. Source one of the Beeb’s tame Royal ‘watchers’. However I do not think he /she automatically gets a stipend – they have to ‘earn’ it through Royal ‘duties’.
If they just wanted a quiet life away from the royalty why all this to make themselves the centre of a media storm.
Likely, no more money from Mum, so they have to earn it themselves!!
+1, but also they are friends of Oprah Winfrey, and it would have been surprising if Oprah had not used that relationship to get a ratings-busting interview.
As a Chartist descendant I can quite believe that the Buck House staff have been brainwashed into conforming to the 18th century customs and practices of the Hanovarian upstarts that were invited into this country.
We would be a lot better off if we were not burdened with an out-dated hierarchy. Harry & Megan have done us all a favour by shining a spot-light on this tawdry institution.
Given his historic faux pas, I was quite surprised to learn that it was not Prince Phillip who made the racist comments!
With a side effect of cleaning up the cities and denying space for more pollution taxes!
Well, Bob, you know what they’re like – they will only replace current taxation methods with …………………….. current taxation, you’ll pay by the milliamp to charge your car, probably utilising an output from your Smart meter or the like.
Spot on, and that is why the so-called road fund tax or fuel duty has never been ring-fenced for that purpose.
