The article doesn’t really explain anything of substance, regarding “how to actually use the notes” - but rather, lists a whole bunch of busywork, and dogma, one should follow, to …

Just do what the “elite” do - and use gold sovereigns, instead. Each “coin” has a “face value” of just £1 sterling - but worth approximately £402, at spot.

Hi - it wasn’t my intention, to insinuate that that Wahhabi dogma, is universally interpreted - but merely to demonstrate that some Muslims, do indeed eschew alcohol, in any form. …

> nope. total BS. It’s not total bullshit, whatsoever. I’ve known a good few Muslims, who would not use alcohol, as either a disinfectant, or topical liniment - due to their Wahhab…

> Has Apple ever made a water-cooled computer? The latter period of the G5, were water cooled, IIRC. They suffered from problems due to corrosion, though.

Heh, how the other half live!… My memory of programming in the eighties, was a pad of ruled paper, and a rotation of Usborne books from the library.

The linked Forth article, is a good read - I haven’t seen it before, either!

> Low Voltage is a very specific term […] It’s not a very specific term, at all - and is dependent upon context - per the first sentence, of the wikipedia article, you linked, stat…

Aside from browsing history, privacy implications, some ISPs insert adverts, into the HTML - possibly opening up the user, to drive by browser exploits… The reality is, it’s not co…

Your argument might hold water, if the standard for productivity was simply churning out code. The Linux/Unix world, already has tools, like nano , for such users. The software wor…

Yeah, I know - I actually mentioned it in another comment here. Even with Dualit, I would still only purchase from a professional catering retailer. Just in case, there’s any diffe…

I’ve had the same experience, with paper shredders - particularly the Fellowes brand, in the UK - which all have a nylon (possibly some other plastic) cog, somewhere to overheat, t…

Modern retail toasters, don’t seem to be able to fit a proper standard English sized, slice of bread - the size of which, I’m not convinced has increased over time - but rather, th…

Exactly! You can still get kitchen appliances that last, but you need to be prepared to purchase pro catering equipment. High quality toasters still exist - be they in conveyer bel…

> The manpage format is a ridiculous relic of a more limited era. If you read the thread, you will see the claim: ”Info pages are older than man pages (the format dates back to ITS…

You’re going to have to clue me in, to what it would be deflating?! The word is like a decibel, in that it needs some reference marker… With the currency pegged to a standard, a pe…

That would be false advertising, in the UK. Rather - you should be asking the question, why don’t the shops in the Netherlands, just mark up the price, to €1 instead?! Seems incred…

A better idea, in my opinion, is rebasing the currency, to some form of standard like gold - and ceasing to print pretend money, that only results in currency deflation, and retail…

A rather ridiculous assertion, if you ask me. CSS is quite easy to grok, if one already knows HTML. Now, if one’s using some sort of “framework”, rather than iterating from scratch…

Strange he only mentions posts on Threads, being available on Mastodon, but nothing about Mastodon posts being available via Threads… Perhaps I’m too cynical?!

Delusional thinking… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women-are-wonderful_effect
