  1. Anyway, the cowpox vaccine was an improvement on smallpox variolation, which was known to the Chinese at least by 1549.

What is the reason we don’t run as root?

We are human and make mistakes. Not running as root means the computer will ask us to confirm when we are about to do something major (like a software update, or formatting a partition). This reduces the chance of making big mistakes. (But I don’t see why VLC shouldn’t be able to run as root, if the user so desires.)

Bold of you to assume voters care about consistency or policies. For many Tory upporters in the Home Counties, southeast, southwest and east London, voting Labour would be a bridge too far. But the Lib Dems might be an acceptable alternative. There’s a reason the main left of centre party in these regions is the Lib Dems, and not Labour.

The Liberal Democrats are talking a lot about the blue wall.

These are traditional Conservative seats where they hope Tory voters have had enough of the present government, can’t bring themselves to vote Labour - and see the Lib Dems as an acceptable alternative.

[Critics] also pointed out that it’s not clear whether the formulation in the spray that keeps the RNA stable is safe because the ingredients are confidential.

I’m love to know how they’re doing it. RNA is insanely unstable.

That’s a great wish list, but I’m not sure how many of those will happen. Increased NHS funding is sadly unlikely given your economy and xenophobia against immigrants. I’m hoping you get increased support for green energy, free school meals and rail nationalisation, and at least a modest raise in the minimum wage. Cheap, clean energy, educated and healthy children, and an affordable and reliable transport system can do so much for the economy.

as that’s where they would go if LibDems disappeared.

Many of them, yes. But there’s also a significant share who’ll vote Lib Dem or Tory, but not Labour.

It’s a stupid system, but I don’t expect the party that got 412 seats on a 34% voteshare to reform it.

Labour lost four seats to independents running against its inaction on Gaza.
