It's also why I no longer buy it. It's a PITA to eat.

I find https://gsmarena.com is the right place to start as you can search, among many other things, for phones with a 3.5mm socket.

Tusky for client. Lots of good medium sized instances (avoid mastodon.social). I'm on mas.to for a general account and mastodon.scot for a local one (both reliable, run by the same person).

I still only buy phones with a 3.5mm socket.

She didn't "pledge" to, but she didn't seem adverse to the idea if it was the right person.

Not so effective against the likes of YouTube allegedly.

Similar in the UK. Ours is called Airwave and came in in the early 2000s.

IME "path repairs" too often means making steps which are more difficult to descend than the path that was there before unless you have exactly the same agility as the (generally young and fit) path builders.

Depressing how often this happens. The path down off Cairngorm towards the cafe is a prime example.

Not every country has elections either.

Scotland: we have such a massive hangover on New Year's Day that we need the day after off too.

Rest of the UK: heh, OK, so you can work on Easter Monday instead

They offered it to me. I've not been on reddit since the API issue kicked off.

 

[I think I saw this posted earlier but it seems to have disappeared.]

I have to say my view, speaking as a councillor on Highland Council, is that the more I think about this it's gesture politics as the council presumably own most of these facilities so closing them still leaves them with significant revenue budget costs.

Plus "No dates have been given for the closures and affected staff are likely to be offered redeployment" which smells of something not well thought out - a big chunk of the cost of these premises is payroll so redeploying doesn't save money ... and then making people redundant is expensive too, as HC learned to its cost the last time it was "saving" money.

So I think this is a Labour led council just trying to embarrass the SNP/Green government into coughing up some more money.
