@jws I should have been clearer. I'm eating a pork pie whilst trying to fend off an insistent Ruby dog. :)
@jws Simply, scrolling backward failed to fill the gap. I'll see if I can give you that screenshot.
@jws Me again. Do you have an plan/issue started yet for filling the gap between blocks of posts? I just scrolled backwards, found a gap of 80. (I think I've seen it previously.)
@jussipekonen Blerghh.
I added an extra 'h'. At least I think I did, remembering things isn't my strongest attribute this morning.
Good afternoon sir. :)
@matigo Indeed. Trying to get a British politician to admit that, for example, paying billions for a missile system upgrade to keep our special relationship with yon tinpot short-fingered dictator is a bit daft when hospital emergency rooms are being downgraded here, it's futile.
Our Infirmary was on the local news a few evenings ago. The reporter mentioned the health Trust had opened an Urgent Care Centre to cope with seasonal demand. This conveniently ignores the fact that we used to have a full Accident and Emergency unit until it was shut by the beancounters to save money. What wasn't mentioned, the world-class heart unit, setup with and partially-funded by local people's fundraising, was shut with the emergency unit - citing lack of future demand.
In the UK finance issue I mentioned, it's a statement I actually believe. Not scaremongering this time as it's been painted by many, just simple economics. :(
Why yes, it does fit with my view of the world, so has to be true. ;)

@matigo For most ordinary folks it might indeed be a positive. However the people in charge of a country's finances see it in a completely different way. Picking one issue in the news recently both here in the UK and the USA, older populations impose heavier loads on health infrastructure and the like, money must be found from somewhere. The USA has the easiest political solution: people must insure or pay. The UK though, we're not so lucky as to let people die because they can't afford healthcare, the ordinary taxpayer pays.
The UK's financial model relied, pre-Brexit, on an extra 1.1 million people paying tax by 2020 to simply stick at current spending levels, admittedly across every infrastructure demand this country faces.
Immigration FTW!!!2!ยก ;)
I fixed something I should have changed some time ago. Instead of blog post notifications directing readers to 10C I'd retained the GitHub RSS feed address. (sighs)
@matigo Would it be to encourage, to stimulate a growth in population at the younger end? (I recall reading about the diminishing birth rate, increasing average age in Japan, though may be mistaken.)
@tomas Just wondering how other services deal with it; allow a change, add a permanent redirect to the hew name, ensure the first doesn't get re-used? :)
