I was just thinking, "do we normally have this many acorns?" as is swept the path by the sluice. Glad to know I'm not going mad.

"... terrified its backbenchers would demand permanent nationalisation, which ministers have ruled out. The Treasury’s strong preference is for a “market-led” solution"
There is no market without competition. Call it what it is:
"Private-monopoly-led". Does this sound good?

Not sure I'd want the flag, but maybe a print of Farage holding said flag in front of a vandalised mini roundabout [insert/replace with a witty idea by someone with more imagination than me].
Thinking about it, not sure where one hangs a print with Farage🤮? With the bog roll maybe?

At this point it is too late to blame an advisor and throw them under the bus. Sometimes things are just Keirly wrong and the change need to come from the top

Urm no. They poop styropoop. But don't worry we have caterpillar that eats styropoop, and poops sytroturd. Sytroturd only last in the environment for less than 3 thousand years, so it is biodegradable

Honestly, I think it would be more difficult to find an aisle that, if consumed in entirety, would not lead to death.

Even grumpy old me - who isn't a fan of certs (we will talk more later, the next few weeks are burn-out crazy) cannot understand how pushing for people to be open is unethical.
It isn't like Prusa started this movement. RepRap was in full swing, Prusa benefited hugely from the open work of others.

I'm not sure certification shows commitment. OSS tends to only certify licenses not projects. There is so much community commitment in many projects.
Too many OSHW projects are a one off source dump, certified or not.
We need to focus on accessibility to contributing

Sorry! I came one a bit strong by reflex. I tend to get people trying to push me to get an OSHWA cert about 10 times a year.
I realise you were just pointing to useful related info.
I think the response to the specific points is too nuanced for 200 chars. One day I'll write it in detail.
