And some text at the top that says “sent by email”. Is printing it, signing it, scanning it back in and then emailing it supposed to be better? The rest of the text is perfectly straight, it’s a travesty.

So he’s typed a letter, printed it, scanned it, emailed it, managed to get all the text perfectly straight but the letterhead is still crooked relative to the body of the document and all this is somehow meant to be better?

How in the name of all that’s holy has he managed to get the fucking letterhead crooked in an email. I agree with him, but that bloody letterhead has me seething.

If he’d take a fucking principled stand on something it’d be something at least. Horse may have bolted in that regard though.

Pretty much the single biggest customer they have. I was getting podcast ads a few weeks back about some fund or other pharma companies had started to help British patients because the NHS wouldn’t buy their drugs. It sounded pretty desperate.

Yeah, like I can’t disagree, I’ve spent hours at work producing decidedly shit documentation (that it’s just occurred to me I should probably have done in PowerPoint) but equally I don’t think I’ve ever used a WYSIWYG word processor I’d consider good either (or web design program for that matter).

Seems to be totally self inflicted tbh, they’ve discontinued the Fiesta and Mondeo in recent years, Focus goes at the end of this year and replaced them with an SUV/Crossover lineup named after old models that in no way reflect the old models they’re named after. (Puma has become Fiesta crossover, don’t even start me on the Capri)

They always used to punch above their weight in terms of value, were reasonably cheap to maintain and pretty solid cars. If there was a Mondeo estate in the lineup I’d literally go buy one this weekend.

They rock at being the default. As much as I love LibreOffice MS office is probably the best office suite I’ve used too.

From a practical standpoint (whether or not kids think this way) those $3-4 ones are mostly shit, the $6-10 dollar ones are more what you’d want to be using, you’d want at least 2 or 3 in case they run out when you’re out and about and you’ll need a charger too. The refillable tanks on that site (at a glance) use premade coil cartridge things that need replaced (though you’ll probably get a week or more out of them) $12+ for a pack of those and the juice isn’t free either.

I’m not sure I enjoy it, it’s more the impending doom lessens a bit.

To a degree, people will cut out chunks of wall to sell a banksy.

Which is fine. Potentially part of the huge known issue with the last couple of generations of Intel chips which affected a huge swath of CPUs, fixes have been released, but damage has been done - that alone would make me dubious about them going forward.

The more immediate issue though is, my CPU failed, I need to find some time to take the PC apart, safely box up the the CPU, figure out the intel rma procedure, ship it off, wait for intel to assess the cpu, hope they accept responsibility, ship me a new CPU and then find the time, once again, to take the PC apart to put the CPU back in. Twice. And I’ve been without PC for the entire time. And they most likely knew about the issues before the second gen of defective chips they launched. And it’s not even the better chip as you mention. I’d be sufficiently pissed off to stay away.

It gets used a lot in a business setting, we’ve multiple rooms at work set up for this.

Haha, that’s fair, but it’s also how we get better.

If you’re taking suggestions - I enjoy making things, quite often what I enjoy is looking at something someone else (or some company) made and figuring out how to do it myself/build the skills necessary to do it/improve on the original design.

Jimbo has, in fact, suggested he might like the freshen up and Budgie’s just happy to be less Epstein adjacent.

Damaging an aircraft engine is a far cry from a campaign of kneecapping, bombing and murder.

It begs the question, in whom have they inspired terror?

I think plenty of their supporters knew what they did and frankly they absolutely deserve to be punished for criminal damage. Proscribing them as a terror organisation, however, is waaaay disproportionate and in my personal opinion an abuse of the law. I think their supporters feel the same and are making a stand against this.
