Fantastic, thanks, that’s a good resource even if they don’t have the specific ones I’m after

I should have specified, shouldn’t I? Auto/commercial/plant. I seem to only buy gear that doesn’t have readily-available workshop manuals

You say that, but have a look at Withings smart watches - the best ECG currently available, about $200 and a decent privacy policy. I’m hoping that this goes the same way

It’s one thing being the scourge of the high seas, it’s quite another being so powerful that you can surrender completely on your own terms. “I’m going to retire now with all my power and ill-gotten gains, and you’re going to like it”

That sounds awfully like the one large underlying factor is “don’t be poor”. The things that make you less likely to have a heart attack are being slim, eating a lot of fruit, and drinking champagne and white wine. Basically, be a well-off person who eats well, keeps in shape, and can afford a gym membership and a constant supply of champagne. Big surprise

I don’t know exactly, my mate bought it, but if I recall rightly, it was about the same as you saved. Mined sweet fuck all though, so a 50w tube heater may have been a better bet…

We have a battery bank for our solar that was getting too cold in the freezing weather, and we used a little mining rig (that’s designed and marketed as a heater miner, to preempt the “it’s not designed for that” comments), and while it found exactly fuck all of value, it did keep them warm enough to keep our power on

Evidence of Ai anything discourages me in general, with the only exception so far being the background visuals at a gig using AI to morph between images. I’m pretty sure that the images were initially the work of one of the band members, and they’d used AI to melt and morph them from one to the next in an incredibly trippy way. It was pretty fitting, the band are the incomparable Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, and were probably the best thing at Glasto last year

Yeah, I really enjoy Mastodon, this news sucks. Got any recommendations on what I might replace it with for iOS?

A penny pillaged is a penny earned

That figure’s come down significantly since the age of vikings though

So what is the answer to getting the people with the most obscene amount of wealth to pay a fair share? The idea that they can continually run from social responsibility can’t be the answer. Clearly this isn’t the method either.
