Yeah, it's a fair point. I think the downside of caps is that it feels like the article is screaming at you!

The Greens very much do run on nimby platforms, including their co-leader, mentioned in the article. And it is just deeply aggravating when they oppose green infrastructure for nimby reasons, whether it wins them votes or not.

Also, lots of words start off as acronyms and then lose that status. 'Laser' is a good example: originally 'Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation', but now always written in lowercase.

What about this one person I heard about who's old and also blind and she needs to take her cat to the vet and if she can't drive at 30mph past a primary school her cat will die? What about her?

Rough sleeping is a specific category of homelessness, meaning people who are sleeping actually outside, on the street. Homelessness can refer more generally to people who are shuttling between different temporary accommodation or couch surfing. Obviously there's some overlap and people often go from one to the other.

Next they'll realise giving people food stops them being hungry!

Never too late to repent, I suppose. Although this is a bit light on the repentance.

Definitely the right decision. I criticise the Greens a lot for letting their nimbyism trump their environmentalism, so it's only fair that I praise them embracing their yimby side!

Keep the picture but turn it sideways, then everyone's happy.

I thought: 8 billion people in the world. Someone's gonna be into it.

Makes official what we already strongly suspected, I think.

All 72 deaths were due to decades of negligence and in some cases active deception.

Whether or not George Mallory summitted Everest.

Mallory was a great climber. People who knew him think he had the ability. Another member of his expedition saw Mallory and his partner, Andrew Irvine, close to the summit, but not close enough to be certain whether or not they made it.

Neither man returned from the mountain. Mallory's body was later found, many decades after he died. but Irvine was never seen again, dead or alive.

There are various other bits of circumstantial evidence, but the fact is we'll simply never know for sure. I like to think they made it.
