It’s worth what someone will actually pay for it. I suspect that $200 is the price at which it is listed…

Yeah, this map comes up on the Web periodically and we Scots point out that it’s lacking (a lot) in Scotland.

Which they’re not going to do as that takes time and meanwhile he keeps moving the goalposts.

It’s also why I no longer buy it. It’s a PITA to eat.

Tusky for client. Lots of good medium sized instances (avoid mastodon.social). I’m on mas.to for a general account and mastodon.scot for a local one (both reliable, run by the same person).

Similar in the UK. Ours is called Airwave and came in in the early 2000s.

IME “path repairs” too often means making steps which are more difficult to descend than the path that was there before unless you have exactly the same agility as the (generally young and fit) path builders.

Depressing how often this happens. The path down off Cairngorm towards the cafe is a prime example.

I bet she flew to Bonn…

Not every country has elections either.

Scotland: we have such a massive hangover on New Year’s Day that we need the day after off too.

Rest of the UK: heh, OK, so you can work on Easter Monday instead

They offered it to me. I’ve not been on reddit since the API issue kicked off.

Upvote for “Cautionary Tales”. Just discovered that and loving it.

I believe it’s youth speak for “respect”. Being cool as we old people might say.

This is what puts me off.

Runar Bjørhovde, an analyst at Canalys, said return rates of foldables are 5-10 percent, far higher than traditional smartphones and a deterrent to repeat purchases.

A phone costing me four digits with that high a return rate. Nope.

And not a word on the dualling of the A96 from Inverness to Nairn. Sigh.

Anti-abortion, anti-GRR, anti-independence. The SNP is well shot of her.

SNP councillor, not minister.

lemm.ee (where I also couldn’t see my own post until you commented on it…)

Last Scottish auction was a great success. Go figure.

Avril Rennie’s comments are a joke: ‘She says the new licensing regime and costs make the future of her business “very uncertain”.’

As the article says we’re talking about, on average, £514 every three years, so that’s £171.33 a year. If her business is really that precarious that it can’t cope with that level of additional cost then it’s doomed anyway.

I am being a little unfair: there are additional costs on first application, mainly the need to do various safety checks e.g. electrical, but if a landlord is saying they’re happy to rent out potentially unsafe accommodation then I don’t have a lot of sympathy.

For background I’m a councillor on the Licensing Committee of Highland Council and we’ve had about 2,500 STL licence applications so far. Officers guestimated we’d had about 10,000. It’s not clear whether they overestimated the total, that landlords have stopped letting out properties, or that landlords are just keeping their heads down and hoping it will either go away or that the Council won’t notice. My suspicion is that it’s some combination of all of these factors.

Interesting times.
