Why is "unjust" and wanting some thing for free is not a valid legal argument here.

And TBH with all due respect trotting out rhetorical devices like "straw man" does sound like sealioning.

How ?

Most pension systems only allow minimal contributions to third party's about £3.6k in the UK and the USA's 401 system is to be blunt a bit crap.

And why would you not have the multiple corkscrews in different places i.e. one next /with the drinks cabinet/ tray or one in the dining room

I have a folding waiters corkscrew included in my work and home took kit and a multi tool with a corkscrew in my laptop bag.

There was a massive Java event at the QE2 hall in London, I went to I still have the little metal pin of the Java Mascot from that event.

You can also send the recording to people who missed the meeting - very useful for training sessions.

I have tried to use this to no avail the documentation (as usual is woeful) in the end I have brought a second sound card.

I want to use a daw to handle my audio for the online TTRPG's processing voice and playing back cues for when I am DM's

This functionality should be part of the core of windows audio - which given the rise in remote working improving the frankly crap widows audio should be a priority.

The poor kid will have more motivation than "Tim nice but dim" who would need pushing by his parents.

I remember seeing the early BOFH when I was working for Telecom GOLD (Dialcom) in the mid 80's.

I think the BOFH files may have come from the NZ Dialcom licensee originally.
