How long does it take, and how much effort is it to follow the correct procedure? Are people saving seconds, minutes, hours, or days by pushing straight to production?

Small niggle: the ps3, ps4 and every bluray player that exists can run Java, due to the BD-J standard. I doubt minecraft could be implemented in such an environment though.

@Oddthinking The site could probably do with a per-user or public scratchpad for saving edits. It would probably be abused and removed very quickly though.

@Oddthinking why the two-stage edit?

@Leo Consider editing your question to include that. (not wanting to "naturalize" for some reason)

Did you move to the UK from another EU country or somewhere else? Have you tried to apply for citizenship? (20 years should be enough to get it)

I've deleted my comments on the question to clean it up a little.

So at this point, this discussion's just conjecture? No word on what happens if someone else can form a government first?

Can you not find anything in that document explaining the process? (I couldn't, but that might be due to lack of familiarity with UK parliament)

If it's not codified, who picks? From the parliment.uk link you sent me, it looks like it's up to the current monarch. But that's not definitive.

bobsburner

I get that, but what established them? Surely there's some piece of paper somewhere that had its contents voted on, and its existence validated by the monarch.

@DarkHeart I am not talking about the "constitution" I mean the act/decree itself which established the rules. Or if it's not an act or decree, where/when does it come from? (p.s.: can someone move this interaction to chat? It's getting long and I don't know how)

bobsburner

@DarkHeart Its law (mostly) is codified though. Is there really no law which states who becomes PM? What happens if anyone disagrees?

bobsburner

Sep 26, 2019 10:47

@DarkHeart Cite a good source and I'll delete my comments. I'd love to find out what the actual rules are for it.

bobsburner

Sep 26, 2019 10:47

@DarkHeart is there an Act that spells that all out anywhere? Ideally including what happens when no one party gets most seats, or if it's mostly independents?

bobsburner

Sep 26, 2019 10:47

@DarkHeart Realistically, yes. Legally, not really. MPs can vote for any other MP to become PM. It's just that rarely happens.

Quite satisfying seeing errors pop up on lines where I had a ! to force-unwrap something, and through refactoring it became non-optional.

I had to look that up, and then saw the SAP logo.
