I thought the aluminium was fine conductivity wise, the problem is that it oxidises and becomes brittle.

Every time a BT man went into the box, it was russian roulette as to whose internet would get broken.

If they are twit-twoo owls, listen to where the sounds come from, it will be from a pair, with one going twit and the other going too.

VTT?

Nothing news.

And omg, I hate their platform so much! It adds everything you buy as a favourite? Why? It already has “you have bought this before” functionality.

Meat was often bad.

Standard issues with buying veg online - two large leaks is massively different to 2/3 small ones.

For some detail:

Flagging this fund manager for actually green funds: https://www.edentreeim.com/ most “green energy” funds just had oil in them, these guys actually do it properly. (I just learnt they are related to the Church of England though, so for any “moral” investing, assume that to be the morals of the CoE)

Jupiter: https://www.jupiteram.com/uk/en/individual/ is a large UK asset manager that should have a decent range of funds if your broker has them. I have their strategic bond fund as well as some of their Asian funds.

Otherwise, look at picking up an array of non US index funds.

As always, it depends on where you are, what your risk appetite is and who your broker is. I advise moving a way from a US based broker if you are using one, they will have a heavy US focus.

Look for funds/indexes managed outside of the US. Look at what is in funds, most brokers/apps should give you at least the top 10 holdings, see if they line up with your expectations.

IMO, look at value stocks/funds currently rather than growth. Aim for dividends and stability until we know where global politics is heading.

Personally, I am slowly selling my world index holdings (mostly US tech by value) and most US shares. I’m putting it into renewable energy (check the fund isn’t just buying oil majors) and a strategic bond fund (I want to buy a house next year, so want stability)

There is also https://wandrer.earth/ (not federated) that is really cool. It gives you points for each unique mile you have been, encourages you to explore new places.

This is the cheapest I could find that wasn’t dodgy in some way.

Previously I was pay as you go at 1p/mb on a different supplier, but that got discontinued.

UK:

£5/m contract for 5GB data. Only run out once when traveling.

Looking back, I normally use about 2gb of data and 30gb of WiFi a month on my phone. Most stuff is done on my PC or laptop.

I just do miniature painting, so it’s the really tiny detail brushes, keep ruining the tips trying to get into little corners.

Might have a look at the brush restorer.

They seem to want both. Application form so they can filter you, then a CV for the interviewer to have Infront of them in the interview(s)

Doing the work to update your CV means you can mostly copy/paste segments into the forms though.

(Knowledge more from tech job hunting - unsure about other industries)

What the consumables are. As a noob, you don’t look at a metal bike cassette and think “that’s going to wear out”. Or at a metal 3d printer nozzle. Or at paint brushes (I keep ruining expensive ones! 😭).

the answer is yes! https://docs.opencloud.eu/docs/admin/welcome/features#files-on-demand

may try to give it a spin later this year

How is the file sync integration? Even some of the commercial products have shocking implementations.

Does it support shadow copies of files?

Wasn’t it one of the Nordics that ‘sunk’ an American carried in drills a while back?

It’s not that they are gigantic companies, it’s that they are big companies with lots of techies. Other organisations can have them as well.

The BBC (British Broadcasting Company) has it’s own TLD for example. their Mastodon account uses it: https://social.bbc/

A good read!

Wikipedia link for the leaky cables, because I thought that was interesting.

2021 - annonced then at least, didn’t complete until later I think.

They sell some spare parts, but no longer for my heaset. They even had the parts in stock!

Their consumer business got bought out by a swiss hearing aid company though. Fist thing they did was stop selling spare parts…

Not getting a penny from me if I can avoid it.
