Another way to help: If you have an idea that someone could possibly patent, no matter how stupid you think it is, you can publish a defensive technical disclosure on tdcommons for free https://www.tdcommons.org/

St Peter gets laid off, and unionises the other saints to go on strike.

Not the best example, the health risks from radium dials were mostly to the people that painted them, because they licked their brushes to point them.

I always assumed it was simply a matter of perspective. E.g. someone leaving the USA for the UK is an expat to the USA but an immigrant to the UK.

Not temu, but I buy loads of stuff from aliexpress, from dice to entire 3d printers.

On the actually change - if moving I to bugger funds allows for them to actually own companies etc, then I think this is a good idea.

Aren't pension funds supposed to spread their risks?

But if they are forced to invest for economic growth instead of pension fund growth, then that’s bad.

That appears to be the concern, that it will be used to invest in what the government wants to invest in, as a substitute for the government investing directly as they should be doing.

The GMB expert also rubbished Treasury arguments that pooled assets can be used to invest into a wider range of riskier and long-term assets.

“We are not speculators — we are not going to put it on the 4:30 at Haydock,” he said.

He said Treasury plans to have each administering authority set targets for investment in their local economies was also wrong-headed.

“We invest to get a return, we don't invest in the local economy for the sake of it,” said Mr Georgiou.

I'm going to have to say it: why would you super glue parts of a model? It's a lot harder to use than poly cement?

Viral is no longer a strong enough adjective for headline editors, we now have MEGAVIRAL.

There's no need for mastodon to be in the mix here, whatever software they are using can federate directly. I know wordpress already has a plugin to do exactly that. (I have no idea what CMS major news outlets use, hopefully not wordpress)
