I saw a boat the other day called Penelope (but said like 'antelope').

In Germany Schuko is deemed non-optimal, but acceptable, for up to 800W.

In the UK our everyday plug is rated for 13A - nearly 3KW. The plug on my phone charger is the same as the one on my tumble dryer and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bag thing.

Also, st can fuck off. Just in general. It's harder to write than it's constituent letters.

The first is when something isn't completely brit, the second is HM Government's new cryptocurrency.

Honestly I'm loving my FP5. I liked my previous two handsets, but between locked bootloaders and lack of support after a few years they weren't much use to me. I'm looking forward to a another eight years or so with this one, though.

WINE is WINE Is Not Emulation. It's right there in the name in the name.

Honestly, any comparison to Sam Vimes is a compliment. Unless it's the alcoholism.

I assume the author says Eurostar because it's essentially a French TGV service that extends to London. The rest of our rail network is made up of constantly overwhelmed, Victorian-era infrastructure and is perpetually on the verge of shutting down, especially in the North of England and in the South East. So unlike France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc we only have a single, modern, high-speed railway, and it's called Eurostar.

+1 for Mumble. I set up a load of Android PoC devices with a Mumble server and it's honestly like having walkie-talkies that work over the Intertubes.

Couldn't agree more. I have no idea why phone companies are not being held accountable for allowing this. For email, it's a solved problem. Why not phone?
