I suspect this is up here now cause WADA have now appealed against her, probably because of the article she wrote. https://www.instagram.com/p/C76mRjGIaXC/

It's basically every large organisation in the world. I've worked in enough now to understand they're all the same.

I wish I had something useful to say, but that sounds honestly amazing. If you could do wifi at the same time, then that'd be a perfect email/ssh/irc device.

It is pretty nice isn't it. Now can someone please make one with a nice metal case and the ability to run android on it. Then I can basically have my replacement for my much missed Nokia E71.

Planet Computers are probably going down the drain soonish after the fairly disastrous crowdfunding for the Astro phone. I know a friend who has a Gemini and he wasn't impressed either. However I am massively biased, as I paid for a

Just to agree with the OP, I've just gone through a government tender process to buy a piece of software for my organisation. The number of people who could bid on the tender was incredibly limited. We've ended up with a 's

Just to say, this is pretty spot on. Lots of messy data, many different sources of messy data. It's significantly more complex than you'd hope.

I worked in NHS IT for a number of years. I've been in other industries for a while, but I doubt things have changed that much. It's not a funding or business priority issue per se. Tho having said that the NHS is focused on pr

It's expensive? I really don't get that. That solid hardwood dresser that you build yourself, could easily last 100 years. The ikea stuff won't last a fraction of that. You shouldn't compare a store bought dresser wi

That sounds about right. My wifes side is a mining family and several of the men died young, not from accidents, but from lung issues so that potentially colours it a bit. On the tech side of things, I do see a lot of people who want &#x2

I don't think that many people want the mines back tbh. Easy to get and simple jobs maybe, but I don't know anyone who'd want the mines back. Anecdata I know. Wife's family is a mining family and I've lived and w

Farming isn't any easier than software I'm afraid. However I live in the countryside and work remotely and I love it here. Just down the road from the chap in the article.

It definitely isn't a term for 'spread'. It specifically refers to meat or fish paste sandwiches. The paste comes in little tins. Meat is most common, but when I was a kid I loved crab paste.

At the same time you basically never have holidays, unless you have family who can look after the farm for a week. Or you say farm chickens, then it's not hard to arrange a few weeks between raising a batch.

Come and visit Wales, specifically Mid-Wales, like say Lampeter, or Newcastle Emlyn. Go to a pub in the evening and have a chat to some of the local farmers, if you buy the beer, they'll be chatty enough.

This is pretty common on the NHS. Also, as Wales is a devolved nation, we can plough more money into the NHS than happesn in England. Also less privatisation.

He looks similar in size to plenty of Welsh farmers that I know. I suspect that eating a tin of beans every day isn't the best.

What kind (make and model) of digital FX pedal would you recommend? Also any suggestions on DAW software?

Sorry, missed the point, I see what you mean now. Kinda sad in a way. I love the massive fleet aspect of eve. Even tho TiDi fights can be pretty awful, they're amazing in their own way.

by forsakenkraken 8y ago
In large eve fleets, it's not a chattering mob, you couldn't run things if it's like that. Things are normally quite terse with a small number of people, scouts, FCs, logi talking while most people get on with the important

Lots of corps use discord, but at an alliance level you'll often end up with mumble for comms. Another 'dead' open source software that's used is Jabber (XMPP) for 'pings' aka broadcasts to tell people there&#

On the flipside, I rarely have items missing from online orders. That's from a few years with Sainsburies and I've used Tesco for about two years now.

I've noticed this as well. Even activities which are widely popular eg, Football, American Football are apparently struggling. The niche sport that I do isn't doing too badly, but the clubs aren't attracting new members and

I'm surprised Sun wasn't posted sooner. Can we add Solaris Zones to the list? I mean I know they're not technically dead, but it can't be long till it's gone can it?

This ++, I massively miss my Nokia E71, there's been no decent replacement for it. Ok maybe the n900. But since then they're all the largely the same.

Another semi-retired skater here. I mostly just skate to work these days. Can still ollie but that's about all my knees can take.

I bought a copy today. As I suspect did a lot of others. Hope it helps some. I look forward to playing the game this evening.

Yeah, he's since deleted all the comments about the post on that thread. Wish I'd taken a screen shot now.

Alliances are groups of Corporations (Guilds in many other MMOs) and all are player led groups. Some alliances are based off other online communities, eg Goonswarm (Something Awful) and Dreddit (Reddit). You train up a few skills and then

Which one is bigger then? This is around 1.4 trillion. I don't think anyone has gone much past a trillion in the past.
