  It may merely require counting state sponsored medical and retirement benefits for everyone in, and who has ever served in, the military.

  A proper leader would ensure all of his subjects are treated before him. If he wishes to speed his own process he should fix the system, not circumvent or commandeer it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rishi Sunak considers banning cigarettes for next generation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Skip smoking and vape limits. Outlaw nicotine and other addictive synthetic nicotine-like compounds. For gods sake - you’re not allowed to buy acetaminophen or pseudoephedrine in bulk in the UK.

  Stop allowing the sale of the addictive drug and a good deal of the problem will correct itself.

  Can’t be any worse than season 8.

  If an accountant leaves his profession to become a commercial pilot, does he get a pass to fly when the rest of the pilots go on strike?

  This is just a link farm with zero interaction. Why does it even exist?

  Substack is a festering pit of despair for both writers and readers. Their authoring tool is so bad there are hundreds of pages of how tos blogs on how to get around its limitations and it’s reading organization is as organized as taking a core sample of a modern landfill to find old newspaper articles - and about a cost effective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[VERGE] 8BitDo’s drift-free Ultimate Bluetooth Controller is selling for a new low of $55.99⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  All in all a rather frustrating device which does not expose several core functions (gyro, back buttons) to windows for gaming, and their own software doesn’t allow binding of keystrokes to any button.

  Other than that it seems decent.

  Note there are past beta drivers which allow use of the controlled via dinput but I haven’t had a chance to test them yet.

  I hope it’s good, of course.
