My biggest gripe is the new outlook, I have personally seen problems with basic emailing on five machines!

I'll second this, the new office is buggy and I find it a pain to use.

I understood that the Masai drink cattle milk (and blood), how's their digestion?

This. I had 7 of 8 SSDs fail suddenly within four months. The RA process was a PITA and slow..... Not good PR at all.

Yes but that's not good either, we need a dedicated Science minister, not an appendix to industry.

They should pay you MORE than they charge, they're getting power basically for nothing, no fuel, no maintenance. For storage, what about a big underground flywheel? Spin it up with extra renewable power/cheap grid power and sell it back during peak time with a smart inverter. You get lower bills/a credit and they get load balancing as you're providing power locally where it's needed.

Maybe, but an alternate view is that people could do what they want to do, I'd grow gardens and fruit and nut orchards if I could......But I have to work in IT to make a living instead. I'd much rather grow stuff, show others how to grow stuff and give away the produce.

This. We've already been there, take a look at 18th century society! Bleep me, it's scary, the prisons were major profit centres with horrendous conditions and the staff could make extra by charging for extra luxuries like food. The female prisoners could make extra by servicing the popular prison tours..... Why do we want to go back to that? The top 10% seem to think it was a golden age.
