Looks like they're already rotated daily.

Anyway by my understanding it wasn't the logs that caused the problem, they just demonstrate the extent of the sudden increase in requests by bots/scrapers.

But when you arrive in the UK they will ask you "why are you coming here?" and if you answer "I live here, my life is here, my job is here, my family are here" and present a US passport with no UK visa or other documents showing permission to reside in Britain they're going to start asking a lot more questions.

And for the love of gods please don't think too hard about how they get baby oil the next time you're in the toiletries aisle.

Yes and no to all of those reasons, and many others.

There isn't a right or wrong way to install/use Linux. As the saying goes "you do you". If going through the Arch learning curve doesn't appeal to you, don't do it. If you're the sort of person whose curiosity sometimes leads them to do silly things that aren't necessarily logical but that you find enormously fun and satisfying, then maybe go for it.

You do realise that Greggs is the McDonalds of bakeries? Their goal is to sell mass-produced food at a very low price. It's tasty but if you're comparing it to any kind of small independent bakers it's not even in the same ballpark.

Alternative way of writing the headline: "OAP intentionally walks up to police with a sign saying I AM A TERRORIST and is then surprised when she gets treated as a terrorist".

You can argue whether or not Palestine Action should have been proscribed or not, but it did happen and the government made it abundantly clear what that proscription means for anyone continuing to show support for them.

Maybe she wanted to make the point that the group shouldn't have been banned (in fact I'm sure that's the point she wanted to make) but surely she didn't think Keir Starmer was going to go "oh my god you know what, you're right, I'll do yet another U-turn because of this old lady".

Oh yeah definitely. The original Speccy came out a couple of months before my 12th birthday. Unfortunately my 12th birthday present that year was NOT a Spectrum or any other kind of computer -- but through a combination of saving paper round money and constant pleading/annoying mum & dad it meant that we got one by about Easter 1983. And so my paper round money for the rest of my teenage years nearly all ended up in the hands of Imagine, Ultimate, DKTronics, Ocean and all the other amazing games companies that appeared out of nowhere.

I've not really had much chance to play yet. It arrived Saturday late afternoon, I was planning on setting aside a few hours this afternoon to get stuck in but something else came up. So so far all I've done is set it up and spent about half an hour just looking at what it can do.

Ask me again in a week!

That "assuming nothing else changes" is doing a huge amount of heavy lifting.

Something that I heard a few years ago really demonstrated people's rightward political shift as they age like nothing else.

Imagine a child born shortly after the end of the Second World War, say 1948-1950. That child would have been a young adult, 18-20, in 1968. That was both the year that the hippie movement gained greatest prominence as well as the year of radical protest where young people around the world organised and fought back against corruption and repression.

Now fast forwards to 2016. Those very same post-war children are now aged 66-68. That's the demographic that more than any other voted in favour of Brexit. I bet if you'd gone back to those young radicals of '68 and told them they were going to become bigoted, narrow-minded xenophobes they'd have laughed in your face. But it happened.

I've not seen any of the previous series (I think I'm right that this isn't the first series) but I accidentally caught the first episode this time round and now I'm avidly watching each week. I'm really enjoying it.

Also, I want to go travelling again (although on maybe more than 20 quid a day!)
