As a European, I'm happy not to know what most of those mean.
I don't think so, no.
From is underrated? I didn't know that, been watching it religiously.
An older favorite of mine was The 4400 (the reboot is absolute dogshit though). Unfortunately they cancelled it after 4 seasons, but the original authors published 2 books afterwards to finish the storyline.
Other series I enjoy that aren't on most people's radar (primarily for being British, mostly crime):
- Vigil (crime series dealing with an investigation on board of a nuclear submarine, 2 seasons, closed storyline).
- Unforgotten (crime, every season starts with an old body being discovered and then showing all people affected by the loss of said person over time until they eventually get closure. Highly empathic actors and excellent character development, season 6 currently being filmed).
- Death in Paradise (iconic light entertainment crime series playing on a remote Caribbean island where changing inspectors from England with various degrees of clumsiness are being sent to solve murders. Every episode is usually a closed case. Season 14 to start end of year).
3 years is nothing. Stocks move.
The OP is talking about the UK though.
How about pushbullet? It's not self-hosted though, but syncs nicely between different phones and browser plugin. File transfer etc. works well, the search is rudimentary.
Honestly I'm not sure about offline support though, I haven't really been in a situation where I wanted to take a note/message myself without internet connection.
The tax income of the government is a percentage of the GDP, and taxes are in the end where money for investments into infrastructure and other stuff comes from.
If investments must be done regardless, it means the government has to borrow money and pay it back plus interest in the future, which again is paid for with tax money.
So if the GDP sinks, future tax income must increase to balance it - either through an increase in GDP down the road, or through higher taxes.
A reduction in GDP also means that either local consumers aren't buying as much, or exports are shrinking, both of which are negative indicators for the local labour market and lead to layoffs.
Right, who knows if they are running the country on AS400...

Google Russia filed for bankruptcy last year, and Alphabet filed a claim against whatever Russian ministry is in charge for wrongful asset seizure in a US court to prevent any filings against them in the US. So nothing will ever come out of it.
There are plenty, and they aren't exactly hiding either. All they need to make sure is avoid overly political jokes. You haven't heard of them because their content is entirely in Russian.
Yep, and having used sync for over a decade makes me not miss reddit at all. It looks nearly identical anyway, I never used either website unless for the initial signup.
