Going back over the scene, it's confusing. The Rani says it was the genetic bomb, but earlier she said she'd flipped her DNA to avoid it. She says their species as a whole is infertile ("a biological dead end"), which sounds like she's talking about more than just the two of them. If the genetic bomb was a slow, lingering extinction rather than an instant death, why did she only have a split second to avoid it? Maybe that means that others survived the genetic bomb as well, but the Doctor already knew about the infertility despite not knowing about other survivors. Add to that the Rani's disgust at Mrs Floods comments last week about the new Rani being her child, and the whole thing feels like two different ideas squashed together and not quite fitting.

I don't think it was very clear if that was a side effect of the genetic bomb, or if it was something else. I may have been a little distracted by the thought that they were making Looms canon, but I would love it if that's where they go with this.
Edit: It might just be a coincidence, but I just realised there may be another link to the Looms. In her Cameo, Jodie's Doctor says there's a "great big time Schism on it's way". That article on the Looms? "devices used by the Great Houses of the Time Lords to perpetuate their race after the Great Schism."
It's probably not going to happen, but I can dream.
Yeah. Your main combat level is on the player/companion, so it's much easier to change up your team and try out different beasts. Individual beasts do have levels, but that's more about when you can 'remaster' (i.e. evolve) them and to unlock moves (which you can swap out at will). Also, elemental type effects are so much more interesting than just a flat damage bonus, and the music is really good. So in summary, yes, I would highly recommend.
So I ran into this word in two different ways without realizing they were the same word. I saw it written down in various World of Darkness books (where I pronounced it phonetically), and I heard it spoken in the Laundry Files audiobooks (where they pronounce it "gesh"). It took me ages to figure out they were the same word.
My problem with this is that your example replies on you already knowing the correct answer, so that you know it's given you the wrong answer and you can go back and try to trick it into giving a different answer. If you're asking it a question to which you don't already know the answer, how would you know if this has happened?
It's ending because it's old. JET has been running since the 80s. It's successor is ITER, which ran into some delays, but is expected to be finished sometime next year.
I fall on my ass in the carpark outside the office. It's cold, but assuming there's no car there at the time, I just walk round the building and let myself back in.
I thought the no car thing was a pretty safe bet at this time, until one drove past as I was typing this.
I never had that floating over the document I was viewing, just in the home tab of the menu, but I did find a way to switch it off. 'File > Preferences > General' has an option to 'disable all features which require an internet connection'. There are also options in there to disable that opening splash screen if you don't want that.
I started with LoadingReadyRun (@LoadingReadyRun@kind.social) because I've been a fan of their work for many years now. I've found a couple of authors I'm fond of: Charles Stross (@cstross@wandering.shop) and Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself@mastodon.social). George Takei is a good one to follow as well (@georgetakei@universeodon.com).
...and expensive enough that you need to be a nobleman or a legendary hero to get it. The cost of the most basic healing potion is enough for a family to eat for a year.
Different keyboard layouts. The big difference between UK and US layouts tends to be swapping the " and @ symbols, so on a UK keyboard the ! is shift+1 and the " is shift+2.
