I’ve been permanently VPN’d at the gateway to a private server since the Snowden revelations, and am not affected.

my expectations are low from the film, I’ll mostly go to see it for the NiN soundtrack in a proper cinema with good quality sound.

Also the number of off-duty patrollers Tom Paris was said to have bombed in “The Chute”

Also this I guess

be careful. stablecoins are a step towards central bank digital currency. once CBDC is established, it’s all over for freedom to spend money.

bums - what about “Stoves”? they’re a more budget friendly brand, still made in the UK though.

Can you get Mercury cooker/oven/hob where you are? I had one at a previous house and it was built like a tank - to the extent I had to leave it when I moved. It would have needed a crane to move it.

The Epstein files that Trump isn’t named in? that are a complete nothing-burger and also a democrat hoax? They shut the government down and curtail their own legislative agenda for that?

Dunnet is a good hour-long game. Comes with emacs.

No, they need to be made to put it right. But that requires a strong regulatory framework, sustained pressure from government backed with expertise and oversight from a capable civil service and it will take years.

Or we can burn it all down and get faraj who will not give two shits about water quality. The choice is ours.

100% I’d love to see nationalised utilities more than anyone else but we need to be realistic that the choices are:

  1. the government spends an obscene amount of money to buy out the private interests, economy collapses and faraj gets in, or
  2. the government changes laws and takes ownership of the companies (and the debts) some way, needs to borrow tons to service the debts, economy collapses and faraj gets in, or
  3. the government just straight up steals control and the shareholders eat the losses. The above scenario plays out where pension funds collapse, the country is punished by investors withdrawing, economy collapses, faraj gets in. Free holidays to El salvador all round.
 

I know they’re not as beautiful as some of the posts here, and my resource distribution needs a bit of work.

My challenge to myself was to build factories that are a complete solution and fit in the blueprint designer mk2. The idea is that each factory takes raw materials and produces a single high tier part (like turbo motors or radios). All the parts get fired into the dimensional uploader.

I can scale my part production by just building more of the kind of factory that I need. Currently I have two of each.
