Unfortunately, only counting suicide attempts from Seoul bridges, researchers said there are an average of 486 people trying to end their lives in the Han's waters every year, translating to a large amount of required rescue resources.
You make it sound like people going through the worst anguish possible is only a bad thing because it requires rescuers
my main Windows desktop has an i5-3570. That's 3rd gen, I think. It works with Win 10.device. I also have a GT 710 video card. Needless to say, I don't play Call of Duty or Crisis on this machine.
I have the same CPU, I upgraded the GPU to a GTX2060 when Corona kicked off (in case I needed to spend a lot of time indoors) and it's good for games like Far Cry 5.
The only time I wish it was more powerful is when I run Lightroom. If I could actually buy an AMD Ryzen 9 I'd probably upgrade though.

The RN has so few destroyers that the losing one[0] would be a massive blow to the Navy and would have all sorts of bad impacts on operations. I don't think they'd seriously want to put one in harm's way.
[0] by which I mean being blow up, not breaking down again...
The problem is that it is very expensive to retrofit the required electrical infrastructure, and on some lines, like the one through to Aberystwyth, the volume of traffic doesn't come close to justifying that that investment.
To be fair they've only just accepted those horseless carriage things there, so this electrickery stuff might be a step too far...
The RN is so short of destroyers[0] that I can imagine them not being put anywhere near harm's way for a long time in order to have more than zero with the aircraft carriers[1]
[0] Especially ones that haven't broken down.
[1] Probably one of the reasons why the QE has American and Dutch escorts too
The Register asked Barr how South Korea, and the world, can move forward. She said she would like to see tech companies focus on prevention, and not rely on government processes, adding:We have to look for global solutions. In a borderless world, we can’t rely on government solutions to solve all the problems.
I'm very curious to know what she expects the tech companies to actually do here?
To be fair, it's not far from Cornwall and we have record for invading England. It's been a few centuries, but next time we'll get past Guildford - I promise...

The company has therefore resolved to do four things:We’re deploying the bug fix across our network as quickly and safely as possible.
We are conducting a complete post mortem of the processes and practices we followed during this incident.
We’ll figure out why we didn’t detect the bug during our software quality assurance and testing processes.
We’ll evaluate ways to improve our remediation time.
Assuming these things actually happen, then I can't think of a much better way to respond to a screw up.
Speaking as an American I'm rather enjoying the peace and quiet. The Federal government has also been restaffed with relatively competent people rather than the relatives and insiders that were given free rein during the Orange Era. So quiet.....so boring.....so wonderful......
Well, look no further than Britain to see our mini-Trump in action. The story of Dido Harding would be a good place to start
My A level college had a climbing wall with a fire exit in the middle of it. Next to it was the fire alarm button which the PhBs didn't want obstructed in case of a fire so there was no cage fitted.. This was fine right up until one of the teachers found the alarm button was in the "right" place for her foot during a tricky move...
