The Doctor roasting the military Starfleet and their reliance on warp drive would be something else.

France had wanted the reparations set so high that it would permanently destroy any German economic prospects. Britain and the US had to restrain them, which may explain why Foch was even more hysterical than is usual for the French.

Plenty of options. They’re called pentafinders, and any camera rental house will have some.
- Comment on Britain saved over £1000 by denying poor kids milk 5 weeks ago:
Heath had just inherited a Britain reeling from Wilson’s disastrous economic performance, and cuts were demanded in every department.
The Treasury demanded Thatcher, then Minister for Education, make departmental cuts of £9m (£125m in today’s money). Free school milk cost £14 million per year (almost £200m today), twice what was spent on textbooks.
The previous Labour government had already abolished free milk in secondary schools in 1968, so Thatcher reasoned it would be a logical step to roll the scheme up further, and that the Education budget should be utilised to build new schools rather than deliver what she considered social services.
However, despite the Treasury demanding total axing of the milk scheme, Thatcher lobbied to continue offering free milk to the under-7s and special needs schools.
Thatcher had not anticipated the intense emotional response to the policy, and needed a full police protection unit whenever she visited schools. The row was so intense and so vividly remembered by Thatcher that in 1989 she immediately shut down Ken Clarke’s proposal to shut the remaining scheme down to save £4m (£11m today). Even later, the Cameron government was persuaded to abandon plans to shut the scheme down in 2011, despite costs having risen sharply to £50m (£75m today).
- Comment on How to auto remount external HDD after power loss to laptop server? 1 month ago:
That risks breaking the drive eventually. They don’t handle loss of power well. And if its being written to at the time, data loss and corruption is inevitable.
That said, no need to reboot to mount the drive.

Not Lazlow’s fault. You see, back then periodicals actually had sub-editors.
