- Comment on 10+ year manager named Joe was apparently fired for bringing cookies to be thrown away before their sell by date to a food pantry in my town 12 hours ago:
Yeah, most excuses I hear are really just excuses. Even had a shop refuse to sell me something after its best before date despite it being on the shelf at a reduced price. They said its illegal to sell it to me - no it isn’t, there is another shop just round the corner which makes that their entire business model by selling reduced stuff past its best before date.
Had I been feeling more argumentative I would have been tempted to leave the money on the counter and just walk off with it. Yes it is kinda stealing, but no one is going to enforce that. “So you are saying he left the money on the counter and walked off with it? Yeah stop wasting our time”

Yes but if I want to talk about the game Isonzo, they have a discord but not IRC.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 1 day ago:
Wouldn’t that significantly destroy their user base? Most servers I have seen it talked about the feeling seems to be not a fucking chance but we don’t use this for porn anyway.
I would love to see a popular alternative appear from this.

- Comment on ‘16 years later, I’m not unhappy’: the rise of Britain’s multigenerational flatmates 3 days ago:
Used to live in a HMO, only way to live on apprenticeship wages really. Then when I moved up to normal minimum wage I started saving like £5-10k a year. I genuinely didn’t know what to do with it for years as reddit had convinced me that home ownership was impossible, guess I mostly saw it as if I lose my job it will keep me going for longer.
Eventually my partner mentioned us buying a house and I realised I could do over a 10% deposit on my own.

Is the AO one in yellow or red zone? I got kinda bored of people in extremely expensive gear that they can’t lose in yellow.

Not heard of frontlines for EVE, might look it up

How large of a corp do you usually get in a single wormhole?
- Comment on EVE Online - the Ikitursa Haeav Assault Cruiser helping clear out a wormhole 4 days ago:
I do wonder if I should give Albion FW another try. Playing as a free player doesn’t even matter for PvP does it? Just need it slower to gain skills/money so not a problem for giving it a try. It was always blobfests in green/yellow zones when I tried it before but I did hear that they were planning on changing things for it and that was quite a while ago now, not played in at least a year.
In both games I always liked small to medium groups, not blobs and not solo.
- Comment on EVE Online - the Ikitursa Haeav Assault Cruiser helping clear out a wormhole 4 days ago:
100M is a lot, T2 frigs usually alright, joined bombers bar ops quite a bit when I could. But timing for things often means most of your playtime is doing nothing.
- Comment on EVE Online - the Ikitursa Haeav Assault Cruiser helping clear out a wormhole 5 days ago:
I never liked flying expensive ships. Trained logi V but even those felt a bit rich, T1 cruisers is about the most expensive I liked to fly. But each time I go back to the game there are vast periods of nothing to do. No fleets running, there is one later but I am going to bed by then so another uneventful day.
Not a fan of solo PvP, remote shield reps dont do much there anyway. Tried Albion too as it’s got similarities, but again time between action felt fairly high or pointless blobfests.

EVE is also everything is player built MMO sandbox, player run economy. Elite is pretty much single player with optional coop.

Landlords using unqualified labour to cut costs? Yeah, I know that experience very well, it could have killed someone.

- Comment on The lithium boom: could a disused quarry bring riches to Cornwall? 1 week ago:
Prosperity to the local community, or an influx of wealthy outsiders that push out the locals that have lived there for generations?
- Comment on Rent is theft 1 week ago:
As Churchill put it…
Roads are made, streets are made, services are improved, electric light turns night into day, water is brought from reservoirs a hundred miles off in the mountains — all the while the landlord sits still. Every one of those improvements is affected by the labor and cost of other people and the taxpayers. To not one of these improvements does the land monopolist contribute, and yet, by every one of them the value of his land is enhanced. He renders no service to the community, he contributes nothing to the general welfare, he contributes nothing to the process from which his own enrichment is derived…The unearned increment on the land is reaped by the land monopolist in exact proportion, not to the service, but to the disservice done.

As a PC gamer I don’t really feel any need for a class action lawsuit against Valve. The cunts at EA or Ubisoft however…

- Comment on Researchers find reducing salt in everyday foods could prevent tens of thousands of heart attacks and strokes 1 week ago:
Shame, as salt makes things taste so much better and is one good option for preserving produce. Lactoferments such as cabbage plus salt and time becomes sauerkraut.

Pretty sure my GPU could run 4k Rimworld, just play good games instead of AAA games.
- Comment on ‘Homes may have to be abandoned’: how climate crisis has reshaped Britain’s flood risk 1 week ago:
I and many others would put up with having to live with someone else for a few days/weeks of the year for a free house. So I doubt they will be abandoned unless you are no longer legally allowed to live in it.
Plus having an otter in the garden for a while would be cute.
- Comment on UK: Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland? 1 week ago:
Why artists? They are not the first or last that will have this problem, if we bring out a basic income it should be for everyone.
- Comment on We can't even pump fuel anymore without holding a digital billboard (Netherlands) 1 week ago:
Surely the haptic feedback of the pump cutting out that already exists when the tank is full is more than enough?
- Comment on We can't even pump fuel anymore without holding a digital billboard (Netherlands) 1 week ago:
If enough people were to get distracted by it and spill petrol on the floor, which they will have to clean up, the screens might disappear.
- Comment on Do people eat this? 1 week ago:
I think UK pricing is pretty competitive, so we get pretty cheap bread compared to many others.

I can watch 4 HD TV streams currently, I doubt my internet can manage that.
- Comment on The BBC’s proposal to switch off Freeview is a threat to its universal service | Letter 1 week ago:
The general idea at some point is fine but 2034 sounds way too soon.
Unless the BBC plan to provide like 25+ Mbit unlimited data for the cost of a TV license? If that was part of this plan then fuck I am all for it.
