@Mikehomeseller I have the 4 x CD version. There seems to be more “space” for the individual parts to shine if that makes sense. Just finished the 2 live CDs tonight and thoroughly enjoyed. Again felt very direct rather than a big stadium sound. Felt like I was on stage rather than th audience.

@Mylovanov How can the invaded country not be part of the negotiation? Such hubris.

@gnasheruk I have RAID 1 but every month, I take the second drive out and replace it with another one. The removed drive goes in an anti-static bag in a sock drawer until it gets swiped in again next month.

@HenriquesLab Consistency- the Journal/Publisher should have House rules about which is correct. I’ve published in both UK and US and had to change spelling to suit.

@OdedRechavi Ex medical journal editor here. Safer to say “in press” along with the journal info. It can then be updated on publication.

@johnrobb77 Musicians, Lawyers, Doctors, Nurses, Actors, Teachers, Artists are all being systematically devalued. The news about “mickey mouse” degrees today is the same. Our masters want us all to be willing serfs.

@KatiePhang There’s an old “Yes, Minister” (BBC comedy) quote that runs something like: “The job of a Lawyer is to know how to get around the Law.”

@petemorristwit This is what happens when you devalue real life professionals and claim that technology/AI (insert buzzword) can cheaply fill the gaps - happening in so many walks of life.

@mmamas1973 Wait until you’ve retired a few years and none of the staff remember who you are. Reputation is a perishable good. From a retired colleague.
