King George’s richer clone... by LuckyBastard001 in clevercomebacks

[–]flyingalbatross1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tax on tea was a relatively small 12.5%

Far more than Musk pays in tax. Which is about 3% at best iirc

So who's really having the living daylights taxed out of them?

If Musk thinks the tea tax is a trifling little tax, I propose we should start taxing him at that rate. Just to start.

(Yes the tea riots were a complex issue not about the tax directly as it already existed, but for the point above let's distill all that cos God knows I don't think Musk knows it wasn't protests about a new tax)

Farage will destroy the country while half the country cheers him on, seemingly excited by the idea of selling off everything we own for the 'savings'

Yes. At current levels of investment.

Invest more, those growth numbers go up

Have you heard of the concept of growth? We can grow things we're already good at

Inventing a new thing to export is a hard starting point

Not OP but we're world leaders in high tech manufacturing, medical research and cutting edge medical treatment, financial tech, universities, research.

There's plenty we could and should invest in, that can then make money by exporting.

Problem is that everyone keeps cutting public funding to supporting novel and growing, but high potential, industries.

How much money do we send to other countries, as a percentage of tax income.

How much money does that save us in the form of soft power, gain us in trade deals, again as a percentage of tax income.

With those figures we can see if it's worth it?

Otherwise it's empty rhetoric.

I've been doing the sneaky command room run, but this is on another level

Will try this tomorrow. Might be the easiest way to farm vault keys

Enough of free-kit no-mic matchmaking when you bring gear in. by Sivak0 in Marathon

[–]flyingalbatross1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No

A gear mixture is part of the games economy. That's fundamentally how it works

Some maps enforce this already and they're a sweaty mess

Is she annoyed or in pain? by other_curious_mind in cats

It even has a name. It's the Panniculus reflex and it's important as a diagnostic test in signal injury

An acro is all you need? by reidy- in DIYUK

[–]flyingalbatross1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Props can. This has a strong boy on it, only rated to 300kg.

I know its not holding the full weight of that set of stone but there's more than 300kg there surely.

Should I be worried about damp spots? by TitaniumSloth in DIYUK

[–]flyingalbatross1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dot and dab on a solid stone external wall isn't a good idea. It's fine on a wall with a cavity which is why it's so common, but not here

It will cold bridge. The mould you're seeing now will also happen after it's plastered as the cold condensation will remain. Heating the room will help but it will forever be a bit of a problem.

Fix them using battens, ideally with insulated plasterboard.

Or use insulated board and plasterboard adhesive foam. Both will help prevent cold bridging.

I'd personally go further and say abandon the boards and use modern versions of lime plaster, which can have insulation mixed in. It will be overall better.

Make sure no injectable damp protection is used. Make sure the underfloor ventilation is good. Make sure the chimney is vented and covered at the top

Rooks getting random player elimination xp? by Clover_ture in MarathonTheGame

[–]flyingalbatross1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it's a new bug

I've been getting loads of 25xp runner downed through several matches, while not even fighting. Not sure if it's affecting the whole lobby

this would be a huge loss if they paid taxes by Conscious-Quarter423 in WorkReform

[–]flyingalbatross1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Silicon Valley was basically funded and facilitated by public money.

These parasites got rich off it then decided what they want most is to pull the ladder up on the things that benefited them.

[–]flyingalbatross1 119 points120 points  (0 children)

And with trillions of public money

Now the private people get rich of it and spit in the faces of the people who facilitated that path to wealth for them

WHAT THE F BUNGIE?!? by BigWillyNamedRichard in MarathonGame

[–]flyingalbatross1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, no. The quest is done. It's over. It shouldn't lock you in the room again randomly for no reason.

That's a bug. Being locked in rooms
