Having a grimy, fingered little brother is always fun.

That’s a disturbing place for a comma 🤨🫣

It depends on the episode. Without giving spoilers for OP, there’s an episode where they’re hiding on a planet, and that’s pretty dark. Same for Erica’s episode. I can’t remember if the first season has any dark episodes like those.

One journalist writing a book doesn’t make something true. Chav is not a slur for the working class.

I’m a working class man from a working class area in the UK, and the vast majority of people here have never been described as chavs and never would.

This could work really well for me too. My favourite sci fi series, Spinward Fringe, has a character who loves ‘ancient’ media, and who is one of the heroes of the story, so has access to all sorts of technology. As it’s set around a thousand years in the future, he should like at least some of the media I already own.

I’ve got an older laptop that I can take with me to give him a way to make our technologies compatible, then, for a few hundred pounds, I can buy some massive hard drives and fill them with whatever media he wants, assuming that he hasn’t given me a super powerful computing device yet. After a few decent trades, I should hopefully either be able to build highly advanced tech, or have enough information to trade on this side and pay to get things built.

I wonder if I could use a loophole too. They have sentient AIs that develop after they’re turned on for the first time. If I’m remembering it correctly, they’re not sentient beforehand. I could have one built with the knowledge of how to build their technology from scratch, and only turn it on once I’m back here.

Their medical technology is also super advanced, so bringing some of that back would be amazing. That would have its own set of questions though, like do you reveal it to the world and try to help as many people as possible straight away, possibly risking your safety, or do you keep it quiet until you can keep control of it and stop it from being taken by people who would hoard it. That’s a separate post though.

No worries 🙂

I’ve just tried again on mobile data, and it’s working properly. The weather here has been a bit shit, so it might just have been that earlier 🤷🏻‍♂️

Working for me in South Wales on Plusnet, but not on mobile data from Smarty.

I got banned from a local music night.

Apparently ‘Come On Eileen’ was a song request…

No, they weren’t quite that bad 😂

The older one passed away as a child, so they named the younger one after him, about a year later. I’m thinking that the name might be unlucky though, the younger one died in the first world war, not long after having two children. Neither of his kids were named John, and they both lived long, happy lives…

It probably won’t work for me as an additional directory, but I’ll have a look into it, thanks :)

As I understand it, they’re next to the muscles, and are alive alive - oh

These people annoy me!

I’ve been doing my family tree, and part of my family is from West Wales. There’s a Thomas Thomas, named after his grandfather, and his father is Philip Thomas, who was named after his grandfather. They’ve also sprinkled a handful of boys named John Thomas through the later generations, with one being named after his own brother! 😫

To make things worse, there’s another family who are around the same age as Thomas Thomas, and the two Thomas (Thomases?) married women with the same first name, and gave their daughters the same first name too! They even live in the same small town! 😳😅

Unfortunately it’s no good for me. I need direct access, but I have memory issues too, so manually backing up won’t work either.

Ah, that sucks. It wouldn’t let me do anything without creating an account, and I wasn’t willing to do that just to test it

Did you try more than once, or with a different prompt? Just to rule out an actual connection issue. I’m curious if the warning you got is just a warning.

Thanks for clarifying :)

That’s a shame. It would be great at home, but no good on the rare occasions when I haven’t got a connection.

I’m just doing my homework on rsync after reading Object’s reply :)

That looks very useful, thanks :)

I’ve just tried reading through your links, but I’m going to have to come back with a dictionary or two 😅

If I’m understanding it correctly, that leaves the files on the Onedrive servers, but lets me access them as if they’re on my computer? That would be handy, but not great if I haven’t got an internet connection.

I’ll do some more reading, thanks :)

I haven’t seen that one yet, I’ll have a look into it, thanks :)
