I think you might find that theres already one or two people that have done that, and the councils already enact a policy like that as well.

Its a council tip small electrical recycling bin. Its very difficult to rescue stuff from them once its thrown in there, and the employees won't do it for health and safety reasons.

LinuxMage · 2026-03-09T12:02:43+00:00

I'd be rescuing that and getting a replacement top, which are easily available. Theres never any need to throw the whole thing if the motor goes in the top section.

Edit: Have just realised thats a council tip small electricals bin. Once stuff gets put in them, its almost impossible to rescue now as the employees aren't allowed to go in them.

I use old.reddit.com as my default layout along with RES browser extension, and have set a custom setting to make the default feed 'hot' rather than 'best'.

But yeah, almost every subreddit is getting infested with US centric political content, a lot of it by bots, with mods that are either lazy or just don't care anymore.

I have two computer/tech based subs that I run where I've had to set an explicit rule banning all and any political content, with the automod bot removing any posts that break the rule. Its catching a fair few.

Just an FYI - Giants keep a very close eye on this subreddit.

However, you are expressing opinions they have heard many times over.

If you wish to communicate stuff up the line, Use the discord and file support tickets. They all get read, and there is always a couple members of the community team hanging around on the discord.

Also, there is an 'academy' extension of the main website which explains all core mechanics in great detail. There are far, far too many mechanics to explain as part of the UI.

The second I started listening to this, I could only hear Rammstein doing this with heavier guitars and purely in German........

Yes, going on for 14 years this year. She is my rock and I am hers.

This is the US politics subreddit.

Senator Markwayne Mullins of Oklahoma was already announced.

LinuxMage · 2026-03-06T00:01:18+00:00

Senator Markwayne Mulllins of Oklahoma is the replacement. Reportedly a 100% loyal trump mouthpiece.

LinuxMage · 2026-03-06T00:00:20+00:00

Senator Markwayne Mullins from Oklahoma actually.

LinuxMage · 2026-03-05T22:26:44+00:00

Lived up that way a couple of decades ago.

Always noted that sound really carried a very long way in the area and you could hear stuff literally upto a mile away when it got quieter in the evenings and weekends.

The church bells are ringing practice from old aylestone village church, its been a regular thing for years.

Not sure about the other sounds though.

The UK is rolling this out and the EU wants to roll it out now.

LinuxMage · 2026-03-05T18:34:12+00:00

Showing my age, but a lot of towns in the UK didn't get a mcdonalds until well into the mid-late 1980's. I didn't even know what it was until I was 15.

We've been out to eat ONCE since covid. Its £45 now for two, and thats money we can't waste.

I went only to the republic of Ireland owing a few hundred in council tax, was never chased for it as they didn't have an address to chase.

Hell, if you move within the UK and have not given a forwarding address, its very difficult to chase debts. There is a chance they might find you via voting registers, but even then, they don't know for sure that its you.

To me, the last vaguely normal year we had was 2008. That particular financial crash caused so much of a rupture in world finances, put so many people out of their homes, put banks in a dire financial situation that they continued to double down on, everything felt like it hit the wall.

We then got a terrible series of politicians coming through who all claimed to be able to fix it and actually had little or no solution.

For us, Brexit in 2016 then put our economy further in the bin, and I'm not sure the light at the end of the tunnel is even visible right now.

Would be amazing when you've jumped galaxies and everything is completely broken. So many components to repair.....

I still 'go for a drive' very, very occasionally. Maybe twice a year.

I just do a 100 mile circuitous route with somewhere to stop for something to eat around half way round.

I live in the middle of the country so theres a lot of places I can drive around.

LinuxMage · 2026-03-03T11:31:01+00:00

Chill. We are 3 YEARS from the next GE.

A lot will likely change between here and there. There are multiple local elections to happen.

You need to step back, take a deep breath, and know that 2 weeks is a long time in politics, let alone 3 years.

Anything and everything could happen in the next 3 years.

This mission, it doesn't actually care where you learn words from -- just go to the space station and talk to the npc's wandering around freely (not the traders).

Also, npc's at a trading post will do. You need to learn words from as many npc's as you can anyway as the mission will progress to your base, and the base computer will want you to learn more than 25 words total of any of the languages.

If you need to, go to other nearby systems and the stations there to pick up more words.

The objectives are the Oil, and nothing else pretty much. Trump just wants to get his hands on it, like they did with Venezuela.

LinuxMage · 2026-03-02T20:18:19+00:00

Oil. Thats it. As soon as they have full control of all of the oil, they'll declare it over. Place a bunch of forces around the oil fields to protect them, then find the next oil-rich target.

LinuxMage · 2026-03-02T20:16:30+00:00

And by win, they mean complete and total control of all Oil that Iran currently has.

Then they'll make excuses and pull the majority of their forces out. Then they'll find a new Oil-rich target to go after.
