I’d prefer substance to clickbait

Yes, costs are soaring.

When the VAT exemption starts in October, it will last for 6 months. VAT is charged at 5% for domestic customers.

Meanwhile at the same time, the maximum tariff will be increased by 13%

The UK is in the top ten most expensive countries for electricity. As new incentives for the next generation of nuclear power stations kicks in, the price will be even higher.

I can’t think of a feature that KOReader provides that isn’t already in the Kobo software.

There are many many such features, such as

• style tweaks where a book’s CSS can be altered,
• plugins
• an in-depth progress and session tracker,
• the ability to ghost pages (like copyright and index) so they are skipped and don’t contribute to progress stats.
• RSS reader

The killer feature for me however was in-page footnotes, so they show up at the bottom of the relevant page rather than having to trigger a popup or follow a link.

It also supports wireless transfer from Calibre-web, direct download via OPDS from a Calibre server or online providers like gutenberg, or syncthing.

The problem is, as you’ve experienced, there are so many tweaks and features that it takes a long time to get to grips with the possibilities.

Maybe the only way I’ll find myself knee-deep in pussy.

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.

sometimes there’s trouble restarting after power failure, depending on what order the database, pi, and various containers come back up.

I may need glasses. I read that as sneaky guys with a gin.

Plenty of options. They’re called pentafinders, and any camera rental house will have some.

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).

They do, but they’re smaller and not as ubiquitous.

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