Nobody uses cinnamon? Honestly - I really like using cinnamon with Debian. I heard that they promised not to fuck with the UI for no reason unlike... everyone! @Mwa Cinnamon is a fairly nice, easy to use desktop - I don't really care which is better, but if they change it, you have to re-learn it. Top tip for UI design - don't think that your users want to re-learn how to interact with your UI - they might go outside, or elsewhere.
That is quite a journey! I hope that it wasn't too fraught (learning shouldn't have to be). Well done on making good of it!
I don't see why all of a sudden all the black male actors, rappers, musicians and stand up comedians have to cosplay as Troy from community.
edit: Add director and producer to that list - check before you post kids!
Its not the 'eat the rich' that I was hoping for.... Might be the one we deserve.
Thanks for your uninformed opinion/question thing. I'll assume that you are asking in good faith and simply don't know... much about the UK.
He isn't the root cause, but he chose to insert himself by encouraging violence when he hasn't a fucking clue what he's talking about either...
I’m looking at you, Amazon.
You mean that you want to copy Amazon? Since this is exactly what they have done, outsourced delivery drivers; driven to pissing in bottles, outsourced sellers; selling items at a loss to imaginary bots to get positive reviews (amazon making its cut all the same).
I shouldn't respond... but let me guess:
The one thing that you are good at isn't unblocking toilets, is it? No, I'll bet you are really good at something rewarding like solving difficult math problems, or 'consulting' or some other rewarding job. I'm sure that you were top of your class at school, but in the real world, if you didn't turn up, the world would keep turning just fine.
I am saying this from no moral high ground at all (I am well rewarded for what is termed a 'bullshit job'), just pointing out that what you are saying kind of assumes that the proles want to live in your utopia, do you still expect to have a better living than the person who shovels your shit when you block the toilet? Thought so.
[edit: sorry for being such a curmudgeon - I must be having a bad day. If I've offended - check your idealism. Please start your ideal business - the world needs idealists... as well as people with shovels]
Its definitely the dream!
10 is a lot of cats to herd though. Do you already have your fantasy football team ready? Do you think that they share your (lack of) ambition?
At the same time 10 is a small number if a couple go on parental/sick leave at the same time. Are you ready to 'hold the baby' and get no extra credit? Who will do the admin/HR/sales/marketing/taking-the-bins-out/whatever you don't like doing?
10 people is enough that it would be very hard to run in a truly egalitarian way - its your idea, so would you be the 'primus inter pares'? ;-)
Honestly, It could be great - so please see me poking holes as a way to make your plan stronger.
Don't pay this! You just reinforce their predatory practices. How renewals at much higher prices are allowed - no clue!
Something similar happened to a company I know - it expired and was immediately bought by domain squatters, when they found them they were told that it couldn't be sold back because the squatter had paid $XXXX for and had big plans (I assume it was BS, just a premise to get paid - no site was ever put on the domain)
Solution: they bought the .org version and bought the .com back a year later.

Surprise! :D The project was called 'making tax digital' it was expressly to remove paper forms for VAT.
Sorry this is a late reply. I can see that mentioning molten salt was a bit left-field, However, it is one of the more realistic ways to store the huge amounts of power needed to fuel an economy for a couple of weeks (which you need in northern europe if you want to use solar/wind). Here's a link about it:

I am pro nuclear, but if we are going to descend into this renewable hell, then we need to actually think about how you store terawatt-hours of power. I really think that this kind of storage might be the nearest we have to a solution. we'll only need it once we try to turn off the gas turbines, of course. It is fascinating that so many smart people don't see that the whole jigsaw is missing vital pieces.
I feel like there are lots of parallels between the eighties and now (recession/inflation, yuppies/inequality, skin-heads/fascists, hot-cold wars etc.) but there used to be protest music! Where is that stuff now? Music that's intelligent and outraged - like we should be!
I'm out of touch now, so if it exists, educate me! Or have the protest songs been removed from tiktok by the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act (UK specific, but suppression of protest seems to be everywhere)? (I've linked to the Levellers - maybe it really was better back in the day?)
edit: Maybe not the right audience, but if the song is old enough to vote then I might already know it! What's happening now? Any songs from the last 10 years!
edit: Thanks for everyone's insights. I've spent the day discovering music that I'd never have found otherwise. Really enjoying a load of these, but thanks to everyone! It seems like protest music is confined to certain genres/places, and lots of older songs - maybe they just last longer... which is maybe a little interesting.
The delivery driver was working at that time, why wasn't the receptionist!?
edit: Thanks to everyone who's pointed out that this is a scam - and who gave advice/or worried about me. I was half asleep this morning, it didn't click (though I did notice that the url wasn't evri - I'm too used to vendors passing me over to third party websites). It doesn't help that the evri helpline is robots only. No bank details lost though.
I am 99% sure that film was called "Lise Meitner"
