Okay, redeading it and I'm now on your side! The headline is wrong.

The headline seems correct to me. I get what you are saying though. The odds of winning once is n and the odds of winning it twice is n*n. But the chance of winning it the second time in osolation is just n.

+1 for Synology. It's great to run Docker containers too e.g. MariaDB for my Home Assistant system.

My simple solution is to drill downwards from inside to out. That way inside is uphill! You could also seal with silicone sealant for belt and braces. I'm no expert in this though.

They are not the same thing. Arial is a typeface. Arial Bold 12pt is a font. Honestly though, who cares!

I think for me it was a great place to pick up information form highly talented individuals and links to really interesting blogs or presentations they had found/created. I do miss it for that, but don't miss what it became. It's weird how when you met people IRL you felt you already knew them!

It's the first time I've come across this guy - no idea who he is but will watch a few more at some point. Top tip though, don't try and read the comments - it's depressing how polarised opinions are.

Thanks, I can see some of the export credit and I'll give it a few days to see if the rest arrives.

Agreed, we need to keep our whits about us when using the roads. People need to feel the consequences of illegal actions.

Funny, I drove about 4 miles across the city and saw 2 cars jump red lights. It's not the mode of transport, it's got a lot to do with people's poor attitudes and lack of enforcement.

Sadly, I fear that making the road surface better will just make people drive faster. It's already a nightmare for speeding. Very rarely do I see people driving even close to the 20mph limit.
