The "pay cash at a local store" is an interesting option, in much the same way you can have things delivered to drop off points. That would allow people to benefit from on-line sales even without bank cards! Great idea.

The major issue with cash is pre-payment / customer not present. As the journalist found there were instances when services weren't an option. I also find it strange that other people spend more on card, I spend cash more easily because it has no effect on my account balance.

If thats not a neurotypical career goal, then nerotypical people must be insane.

You could get a fullsized keyboard to use with it 🤣🤣

Loved the Amiga A500? HP just squeezed a desktop PC into this keyboard and it's pushing my nostalgia buttons HP packed a powerful Ryzen CPU, DDR5 RAM and storage into a peripheral to make the world's first keyboard that's a Copilot+ PC.

Passed me by, here it is.

My memory might be rusty, but isn't that BattleStar Galacctica?

They aren't, but the scales imply it. Either way the implication of Russia having a "problem" is based solely on the implication that the population seems to have stabilised .

So the population NOT rising at an exponetial, unsustainable, and ultimatally catastrophic rate. Is a problem?

Why is it so hard to reuse buildings in Britain? Shropshire Council’s push to demolish its former HQ, the late-1960s Shirehall in Shrewsbury, encapsulates everything wrong with how we treat our existing buildings, argues Leanne Tritton

Dont know what share.google is, but it didnt work initially and triggered app warnings from my phone. Why not just post the link

Creating a new guard army is probably what will btinv me back to 40k eventually

I once sat next to a lady on a plane whose husband was so used to her druken flight behaviour he had booked seats half a plane away. It was a long flight trying to explain to her that "Black hawk down" wasn't the book she thought it was. Compulsory breath tests before bording!

This sounds right up my street! Will hopefully remember to keep my eye on it.

In my defense the Vickings were the first models I got from Vitrix and I didn't know they came with a sheet telling you which parts go with which torsos. They forgot to put it in, printed one off now.

Its a poor excuse I know.

Another week, another (brief) chance to progress my Vickings. This time with Doombull Brown for the leather. Still not consistent with watering it down. Also, on closer inspection, Im not sure that guys arm looks right 🤣, better pics though

It all sounds as though its traditions and beliefs that are far older than Christianity... that have been usurped. But what do I know..

Might help them to gain follows on other BlueSky if they posted here. Followed them anyway in the hope.

I'll admit it, I am the person who points out what's going to wrong. Not to spoil it, but so you can try and avoid it.

Spolier: you can't avoid it, its fated.

"[Douglas] Kelley concluded that the defendants did not represent a specifically Nazi pathology, but that 'they were simply creatures of their environment, as all humans are' and in some circumstances, many people would act similarly."

He eventually took his own life after realising this.

I know the feeling, always thinking that once one thing is sorted then it'll all be smooth sailing, but 2 other things then pop up. Fingers crossed you start to get things in a place.

Still looks the same today!

Just realised that I didn't include the paints.

They were spray undercoated with "Zandri Dust", the metal is all "Iron Hands Steel", and the blue is "Macragge Blue"

Im not sure what the writer is saying. Historical preceedence can be found for all sorts of atrocities from across the world. America has as many as anywhere else, possibly more. Only Americans dont know this and believe that their country is a beacon of tolerance and democracy.

Making progress! Sprayed them, and actually put some colour on too. The base fell off one, no sign the poly-cement had ever been there, the paint refused to go into the chainmail links, and the Painting handle XL has no grips for 25mm bases!

There are 3 people in that picture! So he actually met the holy spirit... and it was a white male, of course! 😞

Keep Children Safe Online Back our plan for film-style age-rating to ban harmful social media for under 16s.

While Im not sure how this would work in practice, its a signal that we will no longer accept big tech companies riding roughshod over out laws and values.

Its sounds almost like you want a blog per project, so all the posts follow the same thread.

This sounds like something that should exist!

If you are considering building one I guess the technical bar is quite high. You could try GitBooks

Beautiful picture, great sky!

One thing I like about reading your posts is that as I'm in the UK they are always the 'other' end of the day. Going to work as im starting my evening, watching films as Im getting up.

Yeah, people don't want tv to make them think. They mainly want chewing gum for the mind.
