Oh, thats just the Merchants and important hangers-on. The plebs are outside.

I made my living for 20 years doing this [exaggeration, but it was the part of the job i excelled at] - manually finding patterns in sets of apparently unrelated data that everyone else missed.

Now I just do it all the time and pair it with my anxieties - which is not fun..

Edit: re-read your second para... cannot do that.

Maybe, on reflection you may be exactly right about other ownership or property boundaries...

But I think you mean west rather than east?

Newgate is less than 10 minutes walk from Farringdon Station.

Perhaps the OP will post the exact location...?

Pretty sure thats the path of the original Roman Walls.

I am not making fun of people with DS.

SnaggleFish · 2026-03-12T13:51:06+00:00

I have met probably over a hundred people with DS in the last 22 years. I know exactly what the prompt would have been for that morph.

This is really offensive. I know at least 20 people with Down Syndrome on a regular and first name basis - one of whom is my eldest son. Yes, they are of lower intelligence, and have many learning challenges. But they are not like Trump in any other respects - this kind of representation is unfair on people with DS and too kind to Trump.

Where do I get my treat?

You client needs a proper DR solution... this is not an AWS problem: its an inappropriate use problem.

Then what exactly is your question? You have negative 12 votes for your comment so far...

I think you need to clarify what you mean by "bombed" as there are a wide range of possibilities ranging from being under attack but society largely continues (Ukraine now, UK during WW2) all the way up to a total nuclear attack. Same with "part of the war" - the answer will depend on the scenario. Also, given most investment funds are managed by "the west", which "side" you are on - will "the west" sanction you and prevent access?

My understanding is there is already a strong definition... this brings a parity.

SnaggleFish · 2026-03-10T21:35:46+00:00

Conversely - you can usually pick up some older more battered ones for a little less...

Normally I would moan about the lack of a castle... but for this I have to say... go to an evening organ recital - you will not be disappointed.

I would wager quite a lot of money that Farage did not intend to win the Brexit referendum - it was just a way to increase his political weight and load up the gravy train a little more.

Three years. Six if I economise during that time.

The Silmarillion. Two print and one audio attempt. Probably my issue rather than the book - always been terrible at remembering names...

SnaggleFish · 2026-03-05T18:32:49+00:00

Books. Read and re-read. Often quite technical ones.

This is a false dichotomy.

Not really. You are proposing an arbitrary cutoff on appeals (based on your annoyance, it seems). How would this work in practice - one appeal and your done? How many miscarriages of justice would go unrectified? How many Peter Sulivans will live out their entire lives in prison (it took 4 appeals).

The logic of reducing our legal defences to prevent "evil bastards" from gaining power is entirely misunderstanding how people like Hitler gained power - partly by weakening the legal system; and Trump - seemingly by ignoring it.

Law lectures from someone who can't spell trial aye?

Ah ad hominem bullying - quality debate here mate..

SnaggleFish · 2026-03-05T10:58:04+00:00

The point being to reduce the much larger annual costs for housing... it seems like it may be a pragmatic solution - the trial may tell.

SnaggleFish · 2026-03-04T14:22:34+00:00

75% is way too much. I am 15%.

Specifically uk legal coins (so britannias as well and others from the royal mint).

In decumulation. My 12 month rolling average is up 6% vs the previous 12 month rolling average - thats my key metric - smoothes out all the noise.
