I have a UDR and it’s pretty great. I have had one unknown failure once, which needed a physical reboot. And that’s been in two or so years.

And how long had they been standing there on one leg to cause the grass to grow around them?

No thank you.

Well I for one hope they fail and these reforms go ahead.

Some Miele washers still come with basic circuit diagrams in my experience, but yeah that’s far from the norm.

To be fair, compliance with that in those cases might be easier. In my experience most washing machines, for example, have programming headers near their main microcontrollers, and you absolutely could write your own firmware for them. Occasionally they’ve been locked down and require an exploit to reprogram (looking at you, Nordic!) but in many cases putting your own code on is as simple as looking up the part number and buying an appropriate JTAG cable. Working out how it’s all connected inside is slightly harder, however.

Why not put the roads back instead. It’s a horrible junction for cyclists and prdestrians

Works on contingency? No, money down!

Not surprised. I was on a Ryanair flight to Budapest once and it was dry about an hour in.

I have one of these; it’s great fun

A friend of mine does this in her garden. The weight of the water is more than enough to not cause issues here. It’s easily 70/80kg even allowing for displacement of a person and it’s all at the bottom.

You can just lift yourself in/out on the top edges.

Yep, in the exact same was as blockchain: nowhere.

I suppose it’s better than those people running CDE on modern desktop Linux!

I remember using slapt-get when I used Slackware and that alleviated most of this sort of issue. Is that not still a thing?

When an eel opens wide and there’s more teeth behind… that’s a Moray!

I’m sure they didn’t think the leopards would eat their face…

A few companies make reusable Brita cartridges which are designed to be taken apart. But I’m glad you found a way 😁

These are much more then “former District Line trains” - they re-used the aluminium body shells and some of the internal structures (including a number of seat frames) since they were very much still in good condition, but the rest of the train is completely overhauled.

I’ve lived right up against a railway before. Really not that bad, plus you’re more likely to be near a station which is excellent. Agree on the highway/runway examples, though. Turns out the problem is usually burning shit nearby. (And rubber tyres)

Well it can be crispy, but only the edges. Some people don’t crisp up the fat. We usually have back bacon not streaky so this makes more sense.
