  A leap year is every 4 years, but not every 400 years. If you could only vote on Feb 29 you’d have gone 8 years without a vote between 1996 and 2004.

  I used to work in Amesbury very near this site and I can tell you this completely unnecessary.

  Sure fix the potholes but 2bn for 2 miles of duel carriage way that ultimately won’t speed up journeys between London and the shitholes on the A303 (eg. Salisbury) just aren’t worth it.

  I got a message earlier today saying my subscription would now include ads. I immediately cancelled the subscription out of principle.

  I can go to Google and log in to free email. I can create word documents and spreadsheet in google docs. I can learn AI with Google projects. I can create unlimited private repos on GitHub, play lots of games on steam for free. I can download Winamp from oldversions.com for free. I can get a Linux distro for nothing off servers. I can use a freevpn, watch YouTube for free.

  Literally handing over game servers to an authorised community to run or supporting games forever actually is possible in the modern day.
