The correct response to anyone quoting the Daily Mail is 'Oh, that's the paper that supported Hitler'.

Daily hate or the daily Zig hiel.

As a matter of course I don't deal with cold callers.

Mostly I just put the phone down but recently, when someone has said something like "I'm one of the energy consultants for your area..." I interrupt and say "What's the postcode?". They have no idea.

Just liars I'm afraid.

Racing / Re: Giro d'Italia 2024

It's just you I think. 5 stages, two bonafide sprinty stages. The only thing going against that is that Pogaçar already has control of the GC so sprinters cannot acquire it. Which conversely makes a stage win all the more combative.

RIP. Still don't know how he made that sound, it even came across live (got to see Shellac a couple off years back).

And saw this retweeted earlier, he knew where he stood and made sure everyone else did too: https://news.lettersofnote.com/p/nirvana

Ah, welcome to the club.

They basically *just work*, and are small appliance-size devices versus a PC-size device.

A cheaper option might have been a microtik thing which gets a lot of coverage on the AAISP IRC chat, but I have no knowledge of them.
I have a pair of FB2700s, and do have some knowledge of their config, in as far as it applies to my network...

It's like the old saying goes: Give a Brummie enough space and they'll park a car on it.
