Thanks, I appreciate that. I paid an independent IT security consultant lot of money to help me come up with it - so I don’t want to have to change it.

Don’t worry I don’t use that for my internet bank: 19513FDC9DA4FB72A4A05EB66917548D3C90FF94D5419E1F2363EEA89DFEE1DD

It’s the points on the licence that really matters for speeding though in my country. When they accumulate enough points they get banned from driving for a period like a year or maybe more.

I hope this applies to meta. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t though.

I’m already locked up in apt hell. I was sentenced to 0.10 minor kernel versions before I get out.

I still have to click separately at login to load wayland-mode in kde version 5.pre-enlightenment - like a massive kloser. Otherwise I’m stuck with a pretty much indistinguishably different user experience.

I hope i dont get fined for

You could also consider getting every office worker a lorry. They can have an desk in the back and work whilst sitting in the traffic jam.

Then we can get rid of all the office buildings to make more space for the lorries!

Probably also adapt this method to work on your housing shortages too.

Debian is a joke, it is so far out of date it is unusable for anything except cave-painting or maybe a stone circle.

Ubuntu is way better.

I was thinking they might learn or get enchanted with a minor wind cantrip that they can cast on themselves infinite times, and rearrange themselves into words.

They can communicate with any literate character, but slowly, only in words that are short enough. Otherwise they have fo finish the word on their next turn.

If it’s genuinely windy in game, the player has to write their communication with their off hand, blindfold whilst someome shakes them or the paper randomly.

New villain is a cleaner with a feather duster +1.

It’s like this for large parts of human life; you just hope that no lawyer ever gets wind of whatever thing is being done.

Trying to sell 'owt without becoming a sell-out.

Try a specialist catering supplier. They’re not cheap though.

windows ftw (forced through work) linux btw (because tortuous work)

nope - but the start menu has been dogshit for years now, so I try to avoid start menu as much as possible- I use pinned icons and a few desktop shortcuts.

I mostly use win key fo:

• win+D
• win+E
• win + arrow
• win+shift+S
• win+R
• ctrl+shift +win+B (dodgy usb-c port replicator needs to be slapped every now and again)
• win+L , i probly use that less than ctrl alt del to lock.

its just a sign of the times. bikes were easier/cheaper to maintain and take less space to stable than horses, especially in inner cities. Trams (electric ‘streetcars’) were probably only just starting to spread in the larger cities.

There would have been quite a few underground train lines in london that would go on to become ‘the tube’, but in early 1900s mostly still slow and dirty steam trains, electrification was starting, but fairly slow to phase out steam.

The 1890s had seen a bicycle boom/bubble following mass production of the chain drive ‘safety’ bicycle and Dunlop’s pneumatic tyres. Even in 1912 cars were very few and far between compared to bikes

Obviously cars were starting to appear, but i suspect many more bikes and horses were still on the roads.

The british expeditionary force in 1914 still had many cavaly divisions, very little of the army would have been motorised at the start of WWI. things like tanks were developed during the war so pretty unheardof in 1912.

It’s a province in the Netherlands. It’s only \ few hundred km from legoland in Denmark - the dude should get out more - I bet he only goes to the central bit of Old Amsterdam.

bottle brush

. . . that everyone hates so hard they give them loads of money.

I wish they all hated me like that.

People also dont get the differece between average and marginal. Adding consumption doesn’t build more wind farms. Adding extra electricity consumption means in short run burning more coal and gas. They are the ones that can be ramped up / ran more hours.

In the long run they might build more nuclear, but that takes a (very) long time. Generally they’re building solar and wind pretty fast already, it is hard (costly) to ramp that up.

Adding new sources of electricity consumption just keeps the fossil fuel power stations running for longer. Efficiiency is stuff like electric mass transit to replace as many car trips as possible - and using as much wires as possible instead of batteries. But no all the money will go into facilities and subsidy for battery powered cars.
