I Didn't Think It Would Take Long For The Guttering To Be Tested.

It's probably something which takes longer to explain than do. However the guttering on the side of my garage is not connected to the guttering at the front of the garage. Yet both sections drain into the same down pipe. Through a shaky contraption of bends and joins which was never great in the wind.

When I replaced the down pipe with modern pipes and clips I could not get the contraption to fit back in place. So the guttering on the side drained through the hole where was no down pipe. Falling straight into the concrete I laid. Mocking me with each drip.

The side piece is now connected to the front piece using that overflow pipe Amazon gave me as packaging when I got some net curtain rails and has passed the test.

When it comes to UPVC piping that reciprocating saw really doesn't take any prisoners.




Although I probably shouldn't have waited until today to replace the handle on the kitchen window.

It wasn't broken, broken. However it was tagged; "Do Not Use." With the central heating set to; "Summer Heatwave" and the door having to be kept closed due to the insanely over sensitive smoke alarm the lack of ventilation meant things could get a bit damp.

Although not as damp as I got standing outside for the 5 minutes it took to replace it.

So then I took a nap.

I guess those terms are interchangeable. When you're a member of the #MasterRace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvbnNJcu-g8 (Another Bag Of Bricks, Flogging Molly, Official Audio).

Of Course There's More Than One Type Of Totalitarian Capitalism.

I'm sure Pedro Pascal is familiar with State-Run Totalitarian Capitalism. State Owned Enterprises (SOE's) like Petrobras, PescaPeru, MineroPeru. And all that. However Big Tech's decision to adopt the No Nipples Rule could well be an example of State-Absent Totalitarian Capitalism. Where there are no checks on the power of Corporations. Rather like in the Captaincies before the locals got all nibbly. Or in the time of the Robber Barons during the US' Gilded Age. A small group of very rich people who own the infrastructure got together and decided this is the rule we have to live by now. Not only didn't we tell them to introduce that rule we probably don't even know who they are. We certainly didn't get a vote to put them in a position where they can decide what the rules are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW9H4M6eQqc (1913 Massacre, Woody Guthrie, Asch, Audio, Topic).
