    What counts as a book? The survey gives the impression it's just reading for pleasure? This probably plays into the class divide, my wife hates reading (for pleasure) she says that…

    The bigger question mark for me is. Is this still at risk from the online safety act that seems to be killing lots of smaller UK communities/games?

    Perl is kinda less popular now. I use that at work. Used to write perl6/raku in my previous job, I loved the grammars made a nice way to try and Wirte an nginx configuration manage…

    Is the remote status here up to date? The job descriptions say you do not accommodate remote work.

    The notice period is kinda odd. I've known people who want to leave immediately and haven't had a lot of trouble doing so because the relationship with their employer has soured th…

    Used to write quite a few letters, used to draft then rewrite them using a nice pen and good ink. I miss doing it, very short on the time to write them now. I also found out I lost…

    A lot more games are structured that way. I got into online gaming with Cs 1.6 and cs:cz normal online was kinda competitive but you had a lot of joke maps or non competive ones(cl…

    Yeah, that and a lot seem kinda small while being a bit lower than the prices of some houses(but still too much imo). Been a long time since I dreamed of home ownership admittedly.…

    A lot of older council apartments in the UK seem to be a bit grim. There's some skepticism against apartment blocks and a lot of newer ones seem to have odd pricing. I live in a ni…

    Congestion charge and parking availability would have already frozen out most lower owners driving into Central London (zone 1 and 2). What does rent stabilised mean here? Not a ph…

    Tafelspitz is waste of good altweiner backfleisch. I quite like the Sache Torte in the place I live. More importantly though it's coming up to Krapfen season.
