You are missing the point, capitalism promotes redistribution of wealth only one way. And newsflash, its not the way towards those who actually perform useful function instead of fucking about golf courses and dinners. If the wold looses all CEOs, we won't notice, if the world looses refuse collectors, you end up with Birmingham https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdjg07xvnnjo

It’s a brutal business the business business

Perhaps then its time to move away from this moronic system towards something that actually cares about people?

Drop in the ocean, Microsoft alone is letting go of 6,000 people https://apnews.com/article/microsoft-layoffs-d1f2de54ebad6f099deac8fbd3375835

CEOs packages mean they don't need to worry about actually how to pay their rent/mortgage. What do workers get? Few months severance for decade of work. Wake up and see the numbers.

People making company driving decisions, aka CEOs

The whole point of capitalism is voluntary monarchy. Where peasants have to waste their time doing random things to extract productivity from other peasants for the benefit of the select few. And when things go bad for the business, guess who is not getting made redundant?

Complete misunderstanding and delusion of how capitalism functions

Idiots in power seem to frequently have a complete inabilty to understand societal changes...

I got a cable channel going between floors with a backbox on the ground floor wall and a hidden plastic guide channel for the cables on floor above.

so wanted to ask, is there a faceplate that hides cables into trunking to a side in a nice way? got some d-line trunking that would come to this box but id prefer not to have cables sticking out of it and just pop into the trunking.

pic of the box location, i need the cables to pop out towards the brown colour wall (but probably going up first to coven level) but would like the cables to not be visible

 

Hiya, anyone has recommendations for bike carriers for cats? I would prefer something in the front so i can keep an eye on my cat mostly for going to the vet.

Wifes bike is one of those folding ones so there is no carry bit at the back so looking for something that either secures to the handlebars or between the seat and handlebars.

Seen a few whicker basket types, but never used those before. Would appreciate any recommendations 🐱

So I wanted to ask what are people thinking might happen with mortgage rates?

The reason for this question is, should I consider going from a 2 year fixed mortgage to a 5 year one on the basis that Trump's economic policy of tariffs is likely to not do any favours to interest rates and world economy?

 

I need to record information about what my cat eats and does, as she might have a food allergy and I need to track down what it is.

So I am after some kind of a user friendly locally hosted database (maybe via some kind of app), preferably Linux friendly.

It would be nice if it had similar relationships to the added image, some kind of relational DB that I can fill with data. But essentially I need to have a bunch of lookup tables to return some data specific to difference events.

Its a bit of a pain (and takes time) to have to write an entire webapp to manage all this from scratch, that's why I am looking for some kind of user friendly GUI way to do it. Surely there must be some kind of relational database managing "application" that lets you set up some lookup tables and enter data in a nice and easy GUI way to do it? sqllitebrowser doesn't count as it doesn't handle linked tables in a nice way (would be nice if its friendly for my wife to use) :)

Cheers!

Got a small walking treadmill, that now became a fire hazard, rhe motor is sparking, but replacing it seems not feasible as i cannot get a replacement part (the company stopped existing a while ago and doesn't seem like a main manufacturer). And it seems a slightly more permanent installation than not.

So looking to scrap it, but how to scrap it in London without a car? Council bulk pickup seems not to mention anything about fitness equipment and neither does the "not so local" recycling centre, tried calling it but the number goes nowhere. Its a fair trip on a taxi if i wanted to bring it to the centre and not a straightforward walk either.

So the question is, how to scrap it? Contacted a random "local" company that mentioned picking up gym equipment but they quoted £200, which is more than the bloody thing cost!

Going to email the council, but anything else i can try?

 

Using react router and have a route definition:

  {
       path: '/',
       element: <Root pageTitle={pageTitle} />,
       errorElement: <ErrorPage setPageTitle={updatePageTitle} />,
       children: [
          ...
          {
             path: '*',
             element: <ErrorPage setPageTitle={updatePageTitle} />,
             loader: async () => {
                throw new Response('Not Found', { status: 404 });
             },
          },
       ],
    },

This shows me 404 page how I want but without the rest of the root element but also the http status is reported as 200. How do I properly throw it as a 404 and show it inside root element?

             },
          },
       ],
    },

This does show me the 404 page how I want, but http status is reported as 200. How do I properly throw it as a 404?

It seems not to trigger the loader (console log does not appear), or is there another method to throw a 404 and show a pretty page?

 

Say I have a Films library

Is it possible to make a shortcut on the left hand side menu to a specific tag or collection from this library? I was not able to find this option.

And a side question, if I have media in multiple languages, whats the best way of signalling it? Via tags of some kind? Or {edition- labelling?

Cheers
