BTW

Once upon time, you were allowed to do everything except for a few things that were forbidden for good reason. Today, basically everything is forbidden except for the things that are necessarily allowed. And so you are administered to death, have to do their jobs and are allowed to pay for this madness.

It is the German way. At least the trains run on time 😃

If you think it will spare you, you are wrong. The change will only be much harder for you. 😉

Stupid useless Windows. Leave it to transfer quite a bit between drives. Come back an hour later and click on the browser or email icon in the taskbar and hey presto, all my open explorer windows close and it totally stops copying.

Could possibly be Stardock Groupy as well, but its stupid useless something...

Well the Flooding Signs are STILL Up in our Street.

No water across the Roadway since early hours of 31st July!

Was even "hung up" on by the last call taker at the CCC when I asked if they were ever going to remove them!

No wonder Road Signs are ignored!

....and the Flooding Signs are STILL there...12 Days after any sign of water on the road!

Someone is making money from our rates for signage hire!

No wonder the Rates are so high with this example of Council "efficiency" alone!

Pointless regulation > deregulation. Ask the Grenfell survivors what they think about that.

They maybe have a flat rate for the signage? ;-)

Ms. Tinkerisk has now airtagged my rough-haired dachshund - unfortunately, she also knows in which pub I meet my hunting friends after the hunt. :-|

Since the little guy even brings ducks to the water's edge, the only possibility is to hope that it is not watertight after all.

Screwing around for 2 hours with different SD cards and readers to try to write a card for a raspberry pi when it turns out that its the pi imager software that was broken. Used etcher and the card wrote fine first go.

👍 Brilliant idea! A goose must have stolen it from him and is heading south to Spain or Africa (in a few weeks).

All of their signage storage is full. If you want the signs put away, you'll have to stump up more rates to build a new signage store. ;)

That we are well on the way to digital totalitarism and that there are apparently educated people who actually grab the sausage uncritically that is put in front of them.

I was impressed at how on-schedule the trains in Gemany and Austria ran, you could sit there watching the station clock and as the second hand got to zero the train would start moving.

Places like Slovakia OTOH have trains that don't run so much by a schedule as brownian motion.
