More to the point, what's average salary at a university? That's 400 people on 50k a year (or something other, less equitable split).

My local uni occasionally posts jobs - none of them were anything close to that rate of pay...

Pretty sure Hertfordshire (where Hitchin is) is East of England

This but with wealthy parents.

Except it causes anxiety and depression so nobody is going to give a shit.

Me too! But only on one arm.

Thanks, mild localised hypermobility.

They do in Scarborough, I'd wager it's similar in Hull also.

Also that he thinks that it's anyone's fault but his for chucking it away. I know he says that an ex did it, but he left it in a drawer and forgot about it. If it was thrown by a partner surely they'd be liable (by his logic)?

the law states that property deposited at landfill sites belonged to the local authority, and that its environmental permits forbade it from disrupting the area in pursuit of the hard drive.

Also, this. He's just going to make noise and waste a lot of money here I fear.

As originally conceived, the engineer's iron ring rubs against the drawings and paper upon which the Engineer writes and even in modern times, serves as a reminder when working on a computer.

Think it's intended more for the design engineer than the construction engineer.

But that said you can get some decent silicone rings that won't de-glove you if they get caught these days.

North American engineers sometimes wear an Iron Ring, apparently.

 

I have an old notebook which I've been toying with a few smaller distros on (typically easy to install, liveCD types), and while I enjoy the tinkering aspects of this, I had a thought that I've been mulling.

In the past I've run distributions based on larger, better supported, systems (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, etc.) and if or when they have folded, like crunchbang did, or PeppermintOS (however briefly), I just changed them out.

However, if I were to go back to peppermintOS, say, would it be feasible to 'convert' the system to the parent distribution? So, could I force peppermintOS to 'become' Debian, for example? Or is this overly simplistic? It's a level of engagement with my operating systems that I just haven't had!
