  • Nah sorry. It's Groucho Marx.

    No, not never mind. That was great! Genuinely. It always amused me - as in entertainment, not funny - why people choose the images that they do.

    I can't work out how to see your avatar (??) on Voyager.

  • Yes.

  • Just like he loves the little children.

  • As far as I can tell, once the question about price is asked, they will make a remark about how awful the Republicans or Democrats are (depending on their leanings).

  • Whenever someone says that there law is to protect:

    • the children
    • old people
    • the vulnerable
    • ..

    You know that it's full of hidden shit.

  • People's motives are different. The spectrum is so diverse that it makes acknowledgement of our ignorance of the world forefront.

  • Use any low power box you have laying around. Put another NIC in it to make two or buy a small box with two (plus) already.

    That's the great thing about *nix.

  • Opnsense. Open source on your European box.

  • You've been in Elon's programme, haven't you? 😁

  • 1st-century BCE Syrian-Latin writer Publilius Syrus reads:

    In nil sapiendo vita iucundissima est (“Life is most delightful when one knows nothing.”)

  • Those rules were implemented in the crashes before 2008. The banks have the resources to get around them; they actually advise the government how to get their debt off-BS. You realise that's a conflict of interest, right?

    The whole idea behind the PFI is that the debt is not on the government BS.

  • 2008 banking crisis showed that they're all banking stooges. Banks go bust for their poor management. Public bales them out. Traders get enormous bonuses, although not on the level they screwed up. Some twenty years later, the last shares were sold to the market by the government on 30 May 2025.

    Actually you could argue the 1991 ERM fiasco showed that they're all banking Stooges.

  • (To no-one in particular, not OP either.)

    Politician taking kickbacks or handouts or freebies, can't happen, won't happen. What the fuck did you think this is? The 2020s?!

    You're insane.

  • Now you have the reliability of fifty-three messages all saying "ring me back".

    Give me visual voicemail. You put the switch on my Android. Just do it!

  • I think that the Post Office fiasco shows us all that no-one is ever responsible, privatised or not.
