Whilst some have suggested that the rise may be something to do with the tourism sector, I would prefer to go with the statisticians - as stated above, they are unclear whether the large rise is due to a longer term trend or just sampling variability. That bit isn't in the BBC headline though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight minge Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 We will just be getting over COVID-19 when a nuclear war breaks out. Up to 20 Indian soldiers dead and 17 seriously injured according to Indian Sources. No casualties reported from China of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they will - it just won’t make sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 4 minutes ago, MixuFruit said: The Scottish rate just seems to be a bit more variable than the UK rate: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-53061072 Without digging into it my guess would be the bigger UK economy can integrate dips in one industry with peaks in others more than the Scottish economy. Assume that’s part of it. Also frictional short term effects (eg a big call centre closing) have a bigger % impact on a smaller denominator. given data collection and definition issues, using 1/10ths of a percent is probably misleading as to how accurate the figures are. eyeballing that graph probably gives a more meaningful result, that the Scottish figures tend to move in line with the uk figures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 One of the most beautiful places on Earth, probably the location for the fictional Shangri-La.

welshbairn Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, Snafu said: Microsoft bothered why all these Google Chrome users aren't picking up on their redesigned all singing all dancing flagship browser Chromium Edge decided in June to add it to an 'essential Windows automatic update' and force feed it to everyone who uses Windows with no option to uninstall nor stop it from launching itself like malware regardless of current choice of browser. Microsoft clearly deciding to impose themselves yet again and remind the likes of Google and users that they own every web browsing device in the world and the competition should know their place, especially during a period when everyone is distracted by a world wide pandemic so no one would challenge them. There are still users of the now unsupported Windows 7 and 8 out there who were quite happy with what they had suddenly find out to their horror when they switch on they now have Chromium Edge with no means to remove it. Has anyone on here successfully removed it completely? I'm on Windows 10 which might explain it, but when I did the last update it asked me for permission to change to Edge and I said no thanks and Google Chrome is carrying on as normal. I'm sure there will be a way of stopping it messing with you. Maybe in defaults. Edited July 29, 2020 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
