I am intelligent but at the same time sceptical of science and the the media. Science is always changing it's mind, which is the nature of science. Will scientists discover one day we didn't cause climate change? The media and new

Containers. I setup Ubuntu on cloud servers and use lxc for containers e.g. web, database servers. I could literally copy a folder running my container and be up and running on another provider. The only other moving parts are nginx on the

Someone bought me a really good pair of shoes 30 years ago based on the state of my own shoes at the time. A simple act of kindness I won't forget.
