There is no tenable contemporary argument for keeping them in the Bristish museum, IMO.

It seems to be all variations of "You gave me for safekeeping, now it's mine".

The weird thing for me is that there is no strong cultural link between Britain and the marbles. These might as well be the Rapa Nui Moai statues. Even the British Museum having the Liberty Bell would make more sense from an historic POV.

Again, just my opinion, but it seems like the British museum is using this to fight back against a very British malaise: not handling well with the slow decline of its status as a world power.

- I've created a shopping/recipe app.

An app that supports a database of nutrients, recipe ingredients, supermarket shopping links. Something like "give me 10 balanced[1] meals, give me the shopping list with no duplicates and links to supermarket X" Nothing new, but all other apps I've tried are always missing something I want.

- Started creating a repo of NuShell scripts to scratch my own itch

I added things organically (when I needed something I tried to break the action into smaller functions). By the end I had quite nice library that dealt from Kubernetes deployments to Linux hardening.

Honestly, growing up, I never got into Pokemon.

But now, by virtue of my young son being so enthusiastic about it, I end up, at my age, learning about it and even reading articles about it on HN!

I guess it really is a testament to its longevity.

A similar thing happened to my dad. He got it while recovering from cancer surgery. It was tough, but fortunately he recovered.

Some advancements are process improvements, some enable the impossible.

Electric bulbs are neat, but there was inneficient artifical light before.

On the other hand, a caveman might look at the moon, but he would never land there without modern tools.

GAI doesn't allow us to overcome any Human inherent limitations, it's just an efficient tool (in certain scenarios).

Completetly agree.

GAI doesn't enable Humanity to do anything that wasn't possible before. Perhaps we can do it more efficiently, but it's not turning the impossible into possible, like many other previous advancements did.

Fun game.

Just a suggestion: accept clicks on a position area. At least for me, it didn't accept the click unless it was exactly on the letter's body (tricky during rotation)

The real question is not why they left, but why they didn't have a nice dedicated status/info page, with RSS feed, from the start.

note: I've just read similar comments, with an actual explanation of what happened.

I think most of Europe is like that.

It is true that British people do make more of their identity about it, and they tend to ignore _really_ old stuff (i.e. most of the quirky stuff is Victorian, not _that_ old).
