  • Yup - so anyone donating more than $10 a year gets 10 years in prison. Also your £10 is 100% tax deductible, if you don’t earn enough to pay any tax then you get an extra $10 in state benefit if you donate it to someone running for office.

    Wouldn’t it be nice for campaign funds to be used for shoe leather, emails and flyers, rather than attack ads on every website and TV station.

    at some point you have to realise that the political system is corrupt and money needs to be removed, or you’re only doing what about 100 people want, instead of the 330 million.




  • Thanks - I’m hoping to get all my household machines switched over, maybe look at a HomeServer install.

    If all goes well then my parents and extended family are getting upgrades from Win10. I set them all up with decent laptops in the last 5-15 years with SSDs, wifi6/7 and maxed out memory upgrades. If it wasn’t for TPM2 required for Win11 and Win10 EOL things sure would be different.







  • Last week I put together a kit because my car only comes with a pump and a can of tyre goo:

    • 2t bottle jack the correct height for the axle jacking points (fits in the palm of my hand)
    • 2 x lightweight wheel chocks
    • 2 x folding axel stands (checked to make sure they can lift axels enough to change a tyre)
    • wheel spanner for the lug nuts turned down to fit the bottle jack handle hole and drilled the end to work the jack release valve. (The handle that comes with most bottle jacks are useless)

    On uneven ground bottle and scissor jacks are always sketchy, having chocks and axel stands can give you enough time to get out of the way and prevent an accident. Most importantly the time to test out the kit is at home before you need to use it.
