Also if they're gunked up quick wipe down with the mild solvent of your choice (I use vinegar) will often give them a new lease of life.

To quote one of my friends: "We'll never get to be immortal, but Elon Musk might."
I, too, like my chips with dip.
Outsourced IT provider here:
90% of businesses have basically zero IT security. Leaked passwords in regular use and no process or verification for password resets. As soon as someone complains that 2FA or password rotation is difficult it gets dropped. Virtually all company data is stored on USB keys, plaintext hard drives and on staff's personal home devices.
The reason they're not constantly having their data stolen is because no-one cares about the companies either.
Plenty of water, too.
I wonder what they're expecting? The British Empire was the first major world power to abolish slavery, decades or, sometimes, centuries before the others. They imposed a death penalty on slave traders, and the Carribbean island of Tortola (now in the Virgin Islands) was home to Kingstown, the first colony of freed slaves. The biggest opponent to the abolition of the slave trade was the royalty of Lagos, the ones who were actually farming the slaves and selling them; it took the British Royal Navy to put an end to them once and for all. The debts incurred by the British Empire from buying the slave's freedom - and the Royal Navy policing the Atlantic and Carribbean seas looking for slave ships - were only paid off late in the 20th century.
If they were serious, they'd be commemorating what the British Empire did to end a millenia-old tradition of people as property. Maybe they could do it in the crumbling ruins of St. Phillip's Church?
I did this with the monitor of my first gaming PC. It was a chonky CRT, too.
Dunno but I got salmonella ¹⁰/₁₀ A+++
My political ideology has definately changed: I now think of myself as European, rather than British. The point of the EU project is that it doesn't fucking matter what flag you live under, or what language you talk, or which imaginary friend you worship; for all our differences were 99% the same, and want to live in safe places, eat good food, travel freely, speak out minds, work rewarding jobs, love who we want, work together to make the world better and delight in seeing others getting do the same. As a sometimes-vegeratian, coffee-loving IT worker from Manchester I have more in common with sometimes-vegetarian, coffee-loving IT workers from Mannheim, Maribor or Madrid than I do with some fat-necked millionaire power-lusting would-be dictator with whom my only common ground is a flag.
The purpose of the EU and it's predecessors is to make war in Europe impossible. It's that simple. Who are these people that would see that undone? Whoever they are, they call themselves British.
You ẞilly ßausage
