What I want to know is what kind of bread costs 4 pounds? For people not in the UK: bread at a supermarket costs a quarter of that.

If that's true those people have been maintaining a joke for literal years, and spending substantial amounts of time producing software. Do you expect them at the end of their lives to crack a smile and say "ha! got you!"?

If you read the whole thread it becomes obvious it sadly is not a joke.

How can audiophiles continue to exist with knowledge being so easily available? And how can someone be clever enough to be a software engineer and not clever enough to figure out crystals in bags taped to cables do not affect music quality.

Not the best time to be turned into a tv show but some books end up being filmed many times so maybe no harm here. I hope they don't update the setting and keep it retro future.

If you live in the UK and have similar goals I created a telegram group to share research on how to move to the countryside without a million pounds: t.me/uk_rural_life

I looked around telegram for groups like this but the only ones I found were full of people with rather extreme views (5G mind control etc.). I created a group. If you want to join and discuss ways you found to achieve a comfortable rural l

There's a couple of those companies doing this, I urge you to read carefully what they provide you and what the restrictions are. You might find that the benefits they provide are nothing you can't do yourself cheaper and the rest

Hey, glad to see there's more people like that. Do you know of any communities where people share info on how to do it without signing up with a commune? (I am very happy for people who join them, it's just not for me and I don&#x

My current plan is legal loopholes which I am researching. I want to know the odds I'm against. There are plenty of loopholes if you just Google it but most of them are absolute nonsense and clickbait. There's one guy I know of wh

Yes, I know Wales has some low impact development legislation but look at the history of many of those projects, years of court cases and several tens of thousands of pounds in fees. The successful ones (that I know of) are the ones that in

The crucial detail is "in England". I could do this in America no problem, I know. I'm surprised more Americans don't take advantage of this freedom they have.

Zoning. There are exceptions for rich people (no joke, Paragraph 79) and commercial farmers (arduous 3+ year journey). Everyone else is limited to existing tiny plots (even in villages) which cost at minimum 200K. Any detached house with mo

I keep thinking those communities must exist but I never heard of any. Maybe they keep it very quiet, which I could understand.

We considered it for a couple of minutes but we want some land for crops and animals both for their entertainment value and keeping costs down (this is something we already do in our garden and allotment).

Yes, I have but I haven't visited them yet. I find that those communities have too much political and ethical baggage and sacrifice pragmatic solutions because of that. There's some communities where you're not allowed a ICE

Why would I do any of that? I'd like to emphasize the word "modern" in my post. I don't want to live apart from society or modern technology. I embrace modern technology (I guess to a point, don't own anything smart

I want to stop writing software, build a low impact house and become a modern day peasant. No, really, I have given this years of thought. Unfortunately, this is impossible in England (legally), unless you have 1M pounds in cash. Please sha

When I retired from photography a decade ago I dumped Nikon in favour Olympus (for its smaller size, 4/3 system). I wasn't fully happy and wanted to switch and buy Pentax but I only did that when I was robbed and lost my Olympus g

I find it interesting how vendor lock in of camera brands can keep a brand going. If you have a set of lenses for a system you're unlikely to switch, even if it was rational to do so. Even though lenses keep their resale value and you

I worked for a couple corps in my life and the security theatre in here is ridiculous. At the same time things like this happen all the freaking time. And none of the company spyware can catch that. Funny how this never happened in small co
