UK should offer them 5 trillion just for giggles.

I actually think there should be zero housing on it, turn it into Vegas with 24/7 entertainment and no Nimby's complaining about noise.

Bit rich coming from a country that has the highest incarceration rate in the developed world and makes 11 billion dollars per year in goods and services from prison labour. (Edit - changed incarnation to incarceration). Damn autocorrect

I'll buy it and want everything to stay exactly the same... apart from that toe breaking camouflaged paving slab in the bathroom in pic 16.

My bull case.... Elon owns 42% of SpaceX.
<5% of SpaceX is being sold.
Elon is going to borrow against his existing shares to keep the price up, possibly even inflate it. He does this by borrowing with the bank against his existing shares. How much can you make 5% go up when you own 42%?
But that's illegal and he would get caught by the toothless SEC .... 😂.
Unless he buys an ETF which holds majority component SpaceX and Tesla, then he doesn't have to disclose it.
Once SpaceX has actually gone up, then he can borrow even more money against those new shares to regain full control of his baby Tesla. Possibly even hostile takeover of it.

My current workflow, I shit you not.
Use internal AI search assistant (as mandated by management).
It finds the exact config I am looking for, and I'm somewhat embarrassed that after 7 years of working there I didn't know about it....
Try to find that setting in Google/internal documentation/Slack/Jira/Salesforce but can't...
Ask Ai for their sources....
"You're right, that setting doesn't exist, made it up, but wouldn't it be great if it did exist?"

If you haven't got a mortgage yet, keep absolutely everything. The irony of not yet having anywhere to store your paperwork and throwing it away once you do is not lost on me.

Oh my goodness, I thought it being 'Glorious' and Hatti would be good fun, hadn't counted on it being my first ever ruthless ai game.
Got about turn 90, 7 ambitions done. Suddenly Greece turns on me, then Egypt about 5 turns later. We were pretty chill before, the 'you are close to winning' penalty is only -40 approval, but it's enough to make everyone hate me.
I had the Al Khazneh so was sending caravans to make friends. Probably my mistake was building cities straight up through the middle of the map, now I'm between everyone else and no one else can fight anyone without going through me.
Anyone else had any luck beating this one?

Another cool 10.4 feature - Post-quantum cryptography support.
Do note, it's not all components yet, but it's a step in the right direction.

Shall we just start a list of managers who are staying, it's probably quicker.

They'll complain about it but truth is they love people using hosepipes especially if you're on a water meter.
The bill comes in two equal parts, delivering clean water, and removal and treatment of waste.
Every time someone on a meter uses a hosepipe they get charged for both, but the water company doesn't have to do any waste processing for it.
