Definitely worth a bit of research to see if it’s feasible (or potentially just set up wireguard for those cases). Thanks!

Hold up, using the ntp port to skip WiFi sign in is a game changer. Any way to do that with Tailscale on iOS?

Got a verbal diagnosis last month but still waiting on the report so I can try medication. In the meantime, the doctor told me to cut down on caffeine so now I’m even more scatter brained than usual.

Great that we can try something eventually, but the suspense is frustrating!

Out of the way of anything you might use a bottle for.

Everything except drinking from it! The scratchy cap touching my face and the sugary drips falling on me detract from the whole experience.

The real question is how to make it profitable. Turn the captured carbon into building materials somehow?

As it stands, who pays for it? Can’t rely on government subsidies, and can’t rely on business doing it unless they’re compelled.

I wish it would work but I just don’t see how it fits in the current system at any meaningful scale.

Update: Worth it, thanks for the tips everyone!

Took a drive out to a little town near Newmarket (Ousden) that seemed to be recommended as a stargazing spot. Top of a hill, hardly a cloud in the sky, sliver of a moon, and not even too cold. What a perfect night!

Even on an iPhone 13 mini without a tripod or any skill in photography we managed to get a couple of amazing snaps.

Finished up with some motorway services doughnuts on the way home in the wee hours.

Overall:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - would do it again.

Exciting stuff! Just an hour or two until it’s dark. Fingers crossed!

Reckon it’s worth taking a drive out of London to spot the aurora?

We’ve got pandas at home!

Terrible in the East End of London. The things I’d do to be able to just take a walking meeting without the call dropping out every 5 minutes!

Spacious room with a single toilet and a floor to ceiling solid wood door: 🚨ILLEGAL🚨. But add a sink and anyone can poop to their heart’s content.

It seems the issue here is actually mixed gender handwashing, which is the real scourge.

To be fair, with the number of parts falling off those planes it was a statistical certainty that something was going to wash up at his house!

I was sure that one had t9 so it took me sec too!

It was a national tech store, so had a few hundred locations around the country. I just had the one.

One of the big challenges was having little to no say in brand or supplier decisions etc. Specifically, we also struggled with paying inflated wholesale prices with the franchisee or then benefiting from volume rebates which weren’t shared. Really crushed our margins!

I suppose in a smaller chain you might be a little closer to the franchisor, and you might have some influence, but ultimately you’ll always be the little guy.

Been there, done that. Would not recommend. Space Pirate has nailed the experience. I paid a lot of money for essentially a job, and ended up selling at a loss just to get my time and mental health back.

That was back around 2010 so I’m sure it’s an even more difficult situation for franchisees today.

Ask me anything, I guess?
