Originally, council housing was supposed to be available for everyone.
A socially funded, reasonably priced, decent accommodation for anyone.
With the added bonus for the council that they have properties vulnerable people could be housed in at cost.

And there are still legacy tenants from those days happily living in their council places.

R2B was brought in, with the stated idea of giving long-term renters the opportunity to buy at a discount.
A leg up onto owning and running their own house.
Unfortunately with the way it was implemented, it ended up gutting the supply of council houses, until we reach today.
Where only the most vulnerable have a sniff of a chance of being allocated a council house.

Somebody should make a microsite with this graphic that updates every time there is an election.

People apparently rub them with IPA.

I need to have a try of this, as I regularly burn through 2032s.

This is why I did a 180 on getting hives.

Honey is nice, but driving out the bumbles around here would be criminal.

Catwoman: What’s a hroom?

Awesome work, thankyou for taking the time to do this.

I too love a metal USB stick for the keychain, and my old DTSE9 could do with a refresh!

And giving exemptions for ones with less than a certain number of employees.

I can only speak from a UK perspective, but most home ADSL/VDSL/Fibre providers don’t have limits, other than “if your usage is tanking the network, we’ll ask you to knock it off” type clauses.

Most providers are also signed up to an agreement that if your speed drops 50% below the agreed speed on the package on average, they’ll either give you refunds, or let you out of the contract.

The only ones that throttle are the bargain basement operators aimed at people who don’t care, and one otherwise very competent provider that for some unexplainable reason only gives 1TB by default, charging an extra £10 for 10TB.

And I guess there is also a pricing step up to guaranteed bandwidth. For business use, they tend to be things like 1gbits headline, 500mbit guaranteed burst, 100mbit guaranteed sustained.

From my experience, they’re “Hanging around outside the chip shop” gulls.

“Wololo”

“Diddja laak tha’?”

That doesn’t sound very typical.

The way to tell so often seems to be if someone has called it AI or Machine Learning.

AI? “I put this through chatgpt” (or “The media department has us by the balls”)

ML? “I crunched a huge amount of data in a huge amount of ways, and found something interesting”

The only thing I can see really shifting it, is people saying they’ll support trump to stay in with their communities, then making excuses why they stayed home on election day.

And if I’m honest, that’s a hell of a hail mary pass.

There are some in the datahoarder community pushing a PB.
They mostly store Linux ISOs.

Because if they remaster it, they can also remaster the price.
Which is probably why they’ve pulled all the old versions.

And also that you communicate that you’re aware what you’ve done, and how you’re going to continue.

I did it on mine, and said “I’ve just come off at the wrong exit, so I’m going to just continue along here.”
Examiner said it was OK, and just directed things back onto the route at the next junction.

Kinda like the BeltBox, but less brightly coloured.
