Better not upset the rich and powerful… who strangely also seem to be religious.

Britain’s benefits system is rated as the meanest in Western world, according to OECD. And yet there’s a misconception in UK that those on benefits live the life of Riley.

I do the same thing. I’ve tried Kavita and Audiobookshelf and ended up just keeping the books on a network share and then accessing them through Calibre. I am sideloading to a Kindle though.

Absolutely. I held out until Starfield was released and when I played and realised Starfield had been massively overhyped, I let my Game Pass sub run out. Completely agree that buying a couple of great games is a much better idea. I’ve also been picking up older games I’d missed at CEX very cheaply and have enjoyed those much more than anything on Game Pass.

I’ve had that happen to me. Usually a sign that one of the plugins hasn’t been updated for a newer version of Obsidian.

I’m interested in what you ended up choosing to do (if you have).

Have you considered keeping (or tweaking) your current folder system and putting it in an Obsidian vault?

The advantages are that you’d still be able to keep your pdfs as they but also tag and link them. (And if you doing like Obsidian you keep your files untouched.) Obsidian has lots of plugins that would help. Plus the Obsidian community has lots of TTRPG-ers who do some amazing things in Obsidian. And it’s all free.

I’m happy with having a “nanny state” if it means my sons can get dental treatment. The only NHS dentist in our area won’t take appointments (unless you go private) and say that if children are in pain to call 111. As a child I went for a check up every 6 months. That’s now not possible since Tory austerity.

Yes! I can’t express how dull I thought it was after all the hype and superlative reviews. So disappointing and so… boring. I won’t bother checking out these updates.

Groan.

The Second Doctor’s sonic screwdriver… removed screws and put them back. Sonically. Couldn’t we please just go back to that?

Lack of air conditioners in UK state schools makes them unbearable places in the Summer.

Living in an insanely pro-Brexit area, the usual comments are either: “Best thing we ever did. We control our borders now.” or “We’re not going to talk about it. Democracy won.” I think if the referendum was run again the results would be the same - or a bigger Brexit majority. The crazies in my area are obsessed with “illegals”.

And if they can pull a “Falklands” in the next 12 months may keep their eternal grip on power. War with… er… Greece.. over some ancient… oh… Greek statues… anyone?
