Still the only answer to the everlasting Blue/Red Tories ...

Anti-Georgist propaganda from 1886 that makes Georgism look like the coolest thing ever.

There are theories that this is how humans learned to walk on two legs

Remove tax in pubs, add the equivalent tax at the supermarket.
Better for people to booze in public than alone!

They sell non-alcoholic drinks these days, and they already avoid alcohol tax!

If anyone knows another FOSS mail client with autocrypt and a UI that's more like a "chat" app, please let me know!

@gruff
I did look at Cryptpad, but Nextcloud had a couple of features Cryptpad didn't like automatic file sync and shared calendars.
Maybe those needs could be covered by different software though..?

@davehorrigan
Nice!

What kind of power output does it get?

Recommend any public IRC rooms?

The new onboarding is very confusing for users who want to join a group chat made up of classic email accounts

A slightly weird request: maybe someone among my mutuals is interested in staying at our place in South Wales for a few days to help us organise a hobbyist lab space at home? Vegetarian foods are on me, other than that, we can discuss :D

An opportunity to touch many vintage computers, try some simple scientific experiments, and maybe design a PCB or two.

You'd think it's easy to find someone who would be happy to help, especially if you offer people money, but no :(

A reminder of this great David Pope cartoon

If only I could see what the connection was

#OtD 21 May 1913 a bomb exploded at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh, Scotland, set by suffragettes. It caused no casualties but caused some damage.
