They do a pretty clear discount for the first domain and year you register, but they're also very honest about the ongoing charges.

They also give you one free mailbox per contract, which is a nice touch imho.

In the early days (well, when Tom went AWOL), we set up alternative channels on Matrix.
We might get them posted a bit more prominently, as earlier I was only able to post a message to 50-odd people in the channel.

We may also look into setting up a status page that is complete separate from the main site (different domain, hosting, everything).

Ordinarily, there would be a post scheduling the maintenance with alternative channels, but obviously this time I screwed up.
I'll post in [email protected] with some details about what went on later today.
The main gist is: We planned something, then this morning I saw the shiny button we were waiting for.
And instead of going "we're ready to go, lets schedule things", I pressed the button not expecting it to do things immediately :|

Rawl brand have these notes on the plastic, which I think is neat.

Brown plug, 7mm hole, 5-6mm screw.

Even a little gauge to go with it.

Does this mean we can do the slide more often?

I find getting stuff from local (or at least, national) businesses leads to far less utter shit.

Amazon might have it for a fiver...But you'll spend an hour working out if it's actually decent, and half the time it shows up as dogshit quality, with no compliance with local safety requirements.

Meanwhile, Argos might be a little more, but if you get something that's actually built to be sold in the UK. An actual product that does what it's supposed to, rather than a seller gambling you can't be arsed to return it.

Lakeland is another example. I could buy some random bit of kitchenware from dropshipper_28, and hope it works, and doesn't poison me...Or, I could go into Lakeland, and be reasonably confident that the one they stock is well regarded, and works.

TK Maxx is an example of the complete opposite: So much utter utter crap there mixed in with the half decent stuff.
Not worth my life sifting through it!

I can agree with this: All the hype around KCD:2 led me to buying/playing KCD:1

Kinda crazy, because W7 didn't support first gen Ryzen either!

Downright feudal at the end, though! Just gotta hope you're a rich/lucky landowner.

Good if you want to buy 4MB of stolen ram, however.

Personal spaceships commonly available?

Lots of unusual, but generally friendly aliens?

The Space Dandyverse wouldn't be too horrid.

Or if you're just going for a single router/modem/wap combo, most of the fritz boxes that look like this have mounting holes on the back so you can hang them off the wall, flat.

 

Direct link to the update in the live reporting of the chancellors speech. Will update the link to the full article once beeb publish it.

 

Fantastic news, imho.
Personal statements just felt like an extra thing that might cause your application to fail.
I'm 99% sure none of the technical degrees I applied for read mine, and I wouldn't blame them at all.
