I think its more that they’re worried labour voters won’t bother actually voting then the tories win anyway.

That was my thought too, why’s that not a thing already?

I think another key difference is everyone can use whatever tool they like and still work on the same codebase. They don’t have proprietary file formats that lock in you and your entire team forever.

Same for me. Last day i worked in an office was March 2020. Haven’t done a single day since and don’t intend to ever again

Cave people didn’t have lead poisoning either

Several years ago I was working on water sites and they didn’t even have accurate info about the stuff on their own sites. The head office staff thought they did though. Just the computers did not match reality. Running many of the sites was entirely reliant on the knowledge of site operators who were all about to retire. There was no younger staff being taught anything either.

Not really answering the question but have you ruled out medical issues? You could be describing our dog and it turned out he’s got pretty bad hip dysplasia on both sides. Because both are bad he doesn’t limp at all and the outward signs are really subtle but he’s now on a bunch of pain killers and has gotten much better. He’s also booked in for a hip replacement next month.

I’ve worked on SCADA systems. The most the keyboard was used for was logging in then then putting something heavy on it stop the computer going to sleep. System was entirely controlled by the mouse and head office didn’t consider that 1 person might be monitoring 4-6 computers on their own for an 8 hour shift and enforced a 5 minute idle lockout on all of them.

I’ve been using silverbullet.md

Its more notes than wiki I guess so depends what you’re after.

I use restic but I switched from Borg because of the cloud features. Outside of that, there’s not a lot of differences really. If you’re happy with Borg keep with it.

This doesn’t really seem like a new problem. It wasn’t so long ago that most news was disseminated in text form which has been easily faked forever. The solution should be improving the ways of verifying the information we receive. I guess the main difference now is most people would see a video on social media and believe it. 20-25 years ago I was taught not to believe everything you read online and that hasn’t changed.

Here’s the UKs advice https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/usa/safety-and-security

National insurance is supposed to be for our state pension but it’s only paid on earned income. I have no idea but I wonder how much it would raise if it was paid on all income?

Its the area of a town that has all the retail shops. A lot of towns have a road literally called High Street but the term is generalised to mean the main retail area of a town. Typically smaller shops in the town centre rather than out of town shopping centres and retail parks with larger stores and dedicated car parking

I use audible, then download with audible-cli and decrypt with ffmpeg.

Your tap water is expensive! Is that a typical rate? Its $551 for me for the 5l/hr for 5 years. $0.0075 per gallon. This is in UK. Its billed at £1.98/1000l.

In the UK a blinking yellow means you can go if there’s no pedestrians but you’ll only ever get that at a pedestrian crossing on a straight road. Never an intersection. As in, a place where the only reason the light would ever change is a pedestrian pressed the button to request it. Usually then they’ll go red for a few seconds, then blinking yellow to allow extra time for slower people to cross.

At intersections you might get green arrows to indicate you can go only in that direction. For example it might allow going straight but not turning because pedestrians are crossing the side road.

There’s never a case where red means anything other than you must stop and I’ve never seen a case where both vehicles and pedestrians would get a green light for the same piece of road at the same time.

Yeah, I think they were too niche, my point was that I was able to find answers for everything else before I had to resort to posting a question. One example was I had found a JS bug in Safari and was seeking a workaround. All I got was a couple of comments agreeing and then one a year later saying it was now fixed in the latest version.

I fell for it once, high school friend, seemed like a reasonable idea, I was early in my career and looking for experience. I did learn a lot but ultimately the business failed before it started and I got paid a few 100 for nearly as many hours work.
