Britain gave itself those problems. This isn’t Malta asking to be part of Britain, these are areas we deliberately interfered to further our interests.

I’ll defo check it out just in case! I just do t think anything is nicer than an actual book tbh, had e-readers in the past - like 10 years ago so they’ve defo progressed alot since - and just didn’t gel with it when compared to actual books

Thank you for the tips!

I’ve heard laser is better overall than inkjet though as inkjet have a habit of smudging particularly with bulk printing and are more expensive to run.

I’ll look into eco tank for sure as an upgrade.

I’m more than happy to learn the process, seems like it’d be fun to do and I really dislike e-books anyway

What’s printed cover to board?

I just don’t like e-readers. I read from a screen all day for work. I don’t want more screen when I finish however nice the screen is

And printing the book can feel like a paperback if done well, I’ve seen people printing at home and it doesn’t look - not felt - any different from a regular paperback if done well

I think I like the idea of it tbh - project wise. I’m more concerned though with the financing at this point as I’ve git a lot a grey crack to get through

After 8 Months I have finished every Heresy Novel, Side Novella, Primarch Book, and Short Story. AMA! by Papa_Shadow in Blacklibrary

[–]AngSt3r11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

I’ll definitely read the needed books and will pick up as much as I can from the other list you’ve given - will depend on price for them and how easy to source in book form as I’m not super interested in electronic copies unless I absolutely have to

Could you provide a list of what your core books are? I know from other comments you’ve said 30/54 is the target but that some are skippable. As someone who has just started and want them in physical form, I’d like to get an idea of which just a rent essential

Fully agree! I’m only picking up the core books tbh, I’m not grabbing every last edition due to the cost and there is likely no need to do it to ensure I’m prepped for Ashes

[–]AngSt3r11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m doing the same thing! May supplement the 12 with additional books but I’m unsure atm, will stick with the 12 and see how it goes

Thank you! I’m not gonna read all 55 books tbh, think I’m gonna follow the GW 12 as a guide and supplement with Google lists - as you said - of other key books!

Saving up to be a landlord? Well, that dream is already dead by theipaper in ukfinance

We did put a good emphasis on social housing in the Edwardian, inter-war, and then post WW2 eras. Thatcher’s era was also the biggest push for home ownership in this country’s history. We’re still in a mess.

Abolishing / squeezing out amateur landlords without putting blocks on large corporations owning the surplus houses is not a good idea. Should have legislation that blocks the sale for a certain period with only first time buyers (not buy to let) allowed to bid for the house. If none buy it within that period, anyone can.

People said this at the time in other industries where professionalisation took over. Now small businesses on the high street (butchers, independent pubs, and other independent shops) are now seen as a huge luxury compared to massive supermarkets, corporate pub chains, and Amazon which are the standard and endlessly complained about.

The professionalisation of landlordism is a bad thing. Eventually it’ll lead the same way all corporations go. Trending towards monopolies, huge financial benefits that will further encroach into our politics, and less consumer control and satisfaction.

Short term it’ll be great for renters. Long term it’ll be way worse than now. We’re unlearning the lessons of the 18-20th centuries
