- Comment on Magic circle: Stonehenge offers lucky visitors 20 minutes alone in monument 2 days ago:
To mark the initiative, said to be the first of its kind since admission charges were introduced 125 years ago, the Guardian was granted 20 minutes in the circle on Tuesday morning to sample the solitude.
Maybe 25years ago?
When I was a kid, you could pull over in a layby on the road adjacent the stones and just step onto a path straight to the stones, later there was a small National Trust car park added with a parking fee. Then years later they blocked the road off to protect the stones from traffic exhaust damage, and built up the visitor centre you see today.

- Comment on US airman accused of ‘spree’ of rapes on sleeping women avoided UK courts 3 days ago:
No, he was handed to US forces, they court-martialled, acquitted, gave an honourable discharge, he went home to the US. Then only later did the FBI investigate with some additional evidence, and after that was given 5 years and a tracking condition for 20years on release - because of the risk he posed to women!

- Comment on These corpos who feel entitled to Open Source code 2 weeks ago:
The Luddites were members of a 19th-century movement of English textileworkers who were against the usage of certain types of automated machinery owing to their concerns relating to worker pay, child labour, working conditions and output quality. They often destroyed the machines in organised raids.[1][2] Members of the group referred to themselves as Luddites, self-described followers of “Ned Ludd”, a legendary weaver whose name was used as a pseudonym in threatening letters to mill owners and government officials.[3]

I’m sure he’s fine with the racists bringing the English flag into disrepute by tying them up on lampposts here the and everywhere.

I had a mk1 mx5 (actually a JDM import eunos) and it was a 1.8L variant and it absolutely could overtake things effectively with the AC on. It was a manual and I absolutely thrashed it. Big grins.

- Comment on Oh that is BRUTAL 2 months ago:
I’ve only ever seen these in restaurant kitchens or street-food vans. By the way people refer to grilled cheese, it’s as if everyone grills at home.
- Comment on Oh that is BRUTAL 2 months ago:
And not on(under) a grill either so the point is moot. Also the ‘toastie’ I’ve mentioned as possibly similar - clearly not similar apart from bread and cheese ingredients.
- Comment on Oh that is BRUTAL 2 months ago:
I least can eat this as often as I want and not expect a heart attack.
- Comment on Oh that is BRUTAL 2 months ago:
Impossible. At least my method for a cheese toastie. (brit engl. possibly similar to grilled cheese) Two pieces of bread in a toaster, toast to preference. Build with slices of cheese (cut from a block, not from packets you monsters!) put this ‘toast cheese sandwich’ in a microwave for 15-20s, Again to taste of how melted you want the cheese. Result; the toast is still crisp because it’s not microwaved long enough to soften, the cheese can be melted less than those horrific toaster iron things, it’s less greasy.

Mine happens to be an epsom ecotank, I’ve found the software ok, no weird behaviour or restrictions and the ink is lasting really well.

Obligatory fuck HP. Also, get an ink tank printer, changed my world for home printing, still only halfway through the first fill, after a couple of years and hundreds of pages.

- Comment on Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes 5 months ago:
The article has nothing to do with social media, the only mention of it is how adults put a comment on FB about antisocial behaviour of ebike riders. And clearly the clip of ripping up a golf course is antisocial. So actually the issue is, like in the UK, illegal emotorbikes that people should be prosecuted for.
- Comment on Pornhub to restrict access for UK users from February 5 months ago:
The windows/xbox parental controls never worked for me, luckily it would have only been for screen time, so we managed that the old fashioned way. (After countless MS support calls on an OEM prebuilt machine too!) The apple mac parental controls were faultless both MacOS and iOS.
- Comment on Pornhub to restrict access for UK users from February 5 months ago:
I was aware of this and used it exactly as intended, set an age appropriate filter setting, with a watershed to switch to “18” in the evening. When the kids got old enough to stay up past this watershed, I decided to run the age limiters settings 24hrs and instead allow vpn as the only route for me as an adult to access the ‘adult internet’ Paired with parental controls on their devices, worked fine. Included in this was conversations with the children about their devices, what usage time looked like, internet safety and as an aside we had no TVs in bedrooms.
Guess what? It took a little effort and had to be consistent. I guess most parents are lazy. - Comment on Childhood trauma 😩 6 months ago:
