Looks like someone you don’t wanna cross in a dark alleyway…

The idea that he knows how to use an abacus is impressive

It likely was an attempt to get more people out of rent into home ownership (as home owners are more likely to vote conservative here) but what they failed to predict is that people would then resell on open market at higher cost when demand was high.

No just own musings, no mainstream political party in uk would pick it up

This has been tried in UK for council properties where the tenant has the right to buy. It was introduced by conservatives back last century 1980s) and has led to decimation of council housing stock needed for housing homeless and those or low incomes.

Objectively it ended up being a terrible policy for renters now.

A better way forward is to ensure there are no private and corporate landlords and only local councils are allowed to provide homes for rent. This ensuring local rent controls and stock.

Depending on your contact but you might get severance pay.

Once you live a few decades, years rush by no matter what. Do what makes you happy.

(Ps i do think its weird but who gives a shit what random internet person thinks, you do you)

Proton is very gaming on Linux friendly, i main on Linux for a few decades now and had about 3-4 games not work. So i wouldn’t worry about that, however lightroom (and i assume the rest of adobe suit) is out. Couldn’t find a way to install it sensibly at all. Which is unfortunate. The backup for this for me was to use an old android tablet and sometimes id use the work mac out of hours to do some post-processing.

But the rest doesn’t matter much, i personally like Manjaro but the distro doesn’t really matter.

And this is why they are billionaires and we are not :)

Trickle down shitononics will be taught to get your daily bread and water rations

Don’t worry, if you got even a quarter as much experience as you say, your job is safe or you can find another not working for an idiotic company that would invest into ai instead of engineers, let them fail.

Anyway have a look what ai can do for you and see just how secure your job is. Pointless worry

As a type 1 diabetic who knows nothing about survival stuff, not long at all

If you don’t want to be called there to always it support it, go for off the shelf solution. Both qnap and Synology offer the same. When i looked half a year ago, i saw Synology as being more expensive at the time so went with ts464 qnap.

Qnap do provide a roadmap of support for older devices. So you have an idea how long they will remain supported for.

Was i the only one who read that headline as “kim was ungifted bullet proof vest and drones”…

Or after you go to the dentist yourself! Granted you can likely survive without drinking room temperature anything because your gums/terth are sore for a bit, but disabled people cannot.

Its better, worth more

Bullshit article is bullshit, the war is there because 1 country invaded abother back in 2014 and we sat there twiddling our thumbs and let it happen. Now they simply want more. Oh what was the thing that was discovered in eastern Ukraine around 2012? Oil and gas you say?

Why ofc it never occured to me that one of the major suppliers of oil and gas might want to aquire more “interests” and prevent major distributor from accessing the market themselves… /s…

So really her diet being vegan is only because she ate 1 type of food for 7 years… Thats nothing to do with being vegan, it has everything to do with being silly.

But ofc British tabloids are always there just to cause controversy and not offer any real value to spread information.

They provided me with a list of exceptions but these were all relatively vague and could be interpreted in many ways. For example “wanting not to support a terrorist state financially” was not on the list. Just saying that there may be a benefit to keep at least the expired passport. Maybe in which ever country op goes to, they might have more sensible rules than here.

I’d advise against it if purely for ease of life in your new home country. Some, like UK require you to still have dealings with your previous country.

For example if i want to change my surname to my wifes name, home office demanded that i change the surname in my original passport first. They even say that if you need to physically go to your country of origin to do so, you have to unless they will kill you (for example persecution of LGBT). But i donno what kind of proof they would need to support this claim.

I have a strong suspicion that “burned my passport as a statement” would not qualify, even if it means supporting a terrorist state with cash (because consular services are paid by cash in 3rd world countries.)
