@dick_turpin They aren't only abolishing it, they are also replacing it with regionally elected house. There is potential danger of course, but it could/should result in a greater mandate and thus a more powerful and democratic second chamber.

@dick_turpin One is not enough. We have three pillars of our democracy - the Crown, the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Only one of those currently has any significant power, and this makes us enormously vulnerable. We need a rebalancing of our democracy, ideally with three powerful institutions, but accepting that's impossible with our monarchy, then at least the second house needs some proper power.

@dick_turpin Yes, potentially, but I think the key benefit to them being elected is the increased mandate it will give the house.I was actually largely in favour of our rather idiosyncratic second chamber until recently, but have become increasingly concerned by some of the people being awarded peerages.

@dick_turpin I am chosing to believe that this is about your wife / significant other being overly demanding in the bedroom. 😜

@Raspberry_Pi For a brief second I thought I was going to be able to launch a missile attack remotely. Blasted NATed private IPs.

@dick_turpin That really sucks. Probably the dentist equivalent of:# Temporary fix - needs a rewrite.

@dick_turpin A friend of mine has done two of these courses and said they are excellent. I did point out that they clearly aren't all *that* effective if she'd had to do two!

@lowqualityfacts At work we only receipts if the customers wants one. Unfortunately it then usually prints out two, but the intention is there at least.

@shacker @spencer although if you're looking for a way of dissuading admins from implementing markdown on instances, it's putting your *entire* post in **bold**.

One of our users has changed her phone, and couldn't update her Microsoft MFA authentication. The fact that she even recognised this, puts her in the top 10% of our users.But the process from there, whilst entirely logical for a technically competent user, is a bizarre world of confusion for most people.1/x
