Do they mean shares as in, shares of a publicly traded company, or is this just glorified crowdfunding?

Probably best not to ask for that level of reporting from the BBC.

So is the idea to cheapen coffee given that the price of it is likely to increase with potential tariffs and climate change?

Or is it just because?

How else are you supposed to treat the peasantry? They ought to know their place.

Bought my partner a belt drive. It's amazing. Really lovely bit of kit once you get the hang of the eccentric bottom bracket.

Road.cc is chronic for that kind of thing. They have a "near miss of the week" section on their site - they thrive on being exactly the sort of irritating cyclists people get annoyed at.

Their primary product is rage bait and mediocre review content.

Thanks for actually explaining your position - I'm annoyed it got nixed because I actually wanted to read it properly!

You didn't know I was a moron, to be fair.

Come on mods - it's fine for people to disagree/discuss/whatever.

Maybe I'm a moron and maybe this person is a tactless tankie.

I actually appreciated that there's some actual fucking discussion here.

 

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!
