I didn’t believe you at first but you can literally get Nigel farage to say anything for the low price of £69.73+ I’m going to assume he won’t say some stuff but still
- Comment on Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes 1 month ago:
Nothing to do with social media, all to do with at what point and electric bicycle becomes an electric motorcycle and the lack of laws and regulations keeping up with it. It used to be easy if the thing was making a noise, due to petrol engine, it’s a motorbike. It’s happening in every country and it feels like Chinese manufacturers are making all the money whilst the rest of the world catches up.

- Comment on Trying to dualboot Linux Mint + Windows on a second external hard drive but Windows Setup doesn't let me install on the disk... 2 months ago:
Fun fact part 2: windows will (or used to) overwrite grub when installing updates, but not all updates that would make it predictable and less fun
- Comment on Anyone have a favorite NAS (for normies)? 2 months ago:
I don’t even have a web interface on my server, so with that in mind: If they are managing it day to day, get a qnap device, my none tech friend has one, started with a 2bay now has a 4 bay with 8tb drives (QNAP TS-464). I’ve only ever had to help him with the old one, can’t remember what the problem was but 10mins and the command line and it was fixed.
Also have a look at true as or hexos, I think they have immich as an app, not 100% sure

- Comment on Will UK taxpayers get their £122m back from PPE Medpro? 5 months ago:
Just call it what it is fraud and a criminal organisation. Someone in the government or civil service authorised the payment for the goods after delivery. It’s not about returning the money it’s about sending a message, reclaim what you can an jail everyone involved. If this was anyone else for smaller amount of money and not linked to the government it would have happened already.

Not a doctor here, if it’s warm to touch it’s an infection, draw a line around it in pen with a time and day, then In a couple of hours do it again. If it gets bigger, starts leaking puss or fluid got see a like now.

If you stand with your legs really far apart it can help a little bit, downside is you look stupid and your legs start to hurt

I’ve been orbiting the sun for more than 40 years and that’s the first time I’ve heard that, which doesn’t surprise me in the slightest, people will always misquote stuff for there own benefit.

- Comment on Labour MP claims it'd cost "Upwards of £100bn to Nationalise Water". He is an extremely smart man. Why does he lie like this? 8 months ago:
It’s easy to nationalise
Step 1, be the government Step 2, create a new bill or whatever Step 3, walk in to the water companies Step 4, fuck the shareholders and give them nothing

- Comment on Why, just why? 8 months ago:
The guy at work was mentioning immigrants and hotels today, I use him as a baseline as to what the sheep in society are thinking. He’s now actually blaming the previous conservative government and labour for the mess we are in., instead of just the labour government. It’ll be interesting if I hear about this tomorrow
- Comment on What would you recommend to fix this home network issue. 9 months ago:
Like others have, I also run unifi access points, run a dedicated network cable to each one and you should be sorted, bit of work but totally worth it in the long run. I think a couple of the pro models have dual network ports so you could in theory daisy chain one from the other, never tried it.
