Ore forebears’ masters were money-grubbing cunts, this is true. Let’s not pretend old matey in the pits was actively participating in the enactment of policies which caused death and emigration on scales unbeknownst before.

Our masters are now too, but at least they pretend not to be. Although they still don’t teach kids about the empire properly.

They have enough of those in their club already tbh.

I’ll never understand people who run white lights on the rear of their bikes.

Your reply is, from the perspective of a driver and a cyclist, the best advice.

I’d add that if you can afford it a jacket from proviz is an absolute life saver - as soon as any light hits then in the dark you become a beacon.

Well put.

Sometimes we need to abandon our principles to care for others. My goodness is less important than the wellbeing of those who are oppressed.

To be fair I grew up in a religious household so he was a bit of a folk hero for us.

He was an interesting chap.

This might just be it 🙃

It’s a shame that competition for this stuff is piracy or get shafted because I’m absolutely fine spending a reasonable sum on watching it but I can’t justify paying for Discovery+ - I just want to watch cycling not more reality TV!

Yeah this might be the way - it’s such a shame because on its own GCN+ was great (their awful attempt at a social media platform notwithstanding). Even if Discovery had a cycling only tier I wouldn’t mind as much - but I don’t give a toss about any of their other sport or content other than the cycling. My winters are much worse now I can’t watch the CX!

Disgraceful!

XFCE. Because I’m an idiot, and all my computers are old.

How many of them know who Bonhoeffer was though?

Wait until he finds out about Icelandic naming conventions!

It’s hard not to be a doomer with news like this - I’m glad I’m not having kids is all I can think about when I read this; I don’t want to think about what the world is going to look like when I’m (not much) older.

Population is increasing, despite this. But the current dialogue around immigration is absolutely horrific, so good luck to everyone who plans on living long enough to maybe need care.

The line must go UP.

I mean, It was that or being deported to Afghanistan - he obviously thought a boat journey was better than taking his daughter to “safe” Basra.

That’s sort of besides the point really, though, no?

If you’re tasked with maintaining a structure (lol) you can be expected to perhaps attempt to know where all the bits you’re responsible for are aren’t you?

But then again, Severn-Trent uses dousing rods to find water mains so who knows what they he’ll they’re actually doing.

This is pretty much the main reason I’m struggling! A few bucks a month for GCN was amazing - now I’m stuffed!

Is it what AI is good at, or is it just that the image generation stuff is where the focus has been because it’s more accessible to non-tech literate?

Regrettably I know many professionals whose grasp of written English is worse than OP’s.

I’ve found that breaking cables is a personal issue. I still have an old usb Xbox 360 controller for pc gaming from when I owned an xbox. My partner has destroyed cables for laptops, hairdryers, headphones in less than 12 months.

Some cables are objectively worse than others (macbook chargers I’m looking at you) but a modicum of care generally is enough to make sure they last without too much hassle.
