The union's argument is so ridiculous. A union is clearly a collective of individuals acting as a block to increase their power. It seems self evident that any cap on individual donations wouldn't apply to them as they're not an individual. It should be capped at the individual limit times their membership.

And no, a company isn't the same thing.

Maybe this donation will spur them into action

    Given that i had my right to live and work in the majority of Europe taken from me against my will and now half our political parties are looking to strip me of my human rights I'd say it's pretty self evident that it's A and governments can take them away.

    We had this with other sounds. Finding a similar sound might not work because they have better hearing than us. Record the turn signal sound with a voice recorder app on your phone. Then play it to the dog but in a safe place for the dog and at very low volume. So low there is no reaction at all. We had to start so low that I couldn't hear it. Play sound, mark and reward, repeat.

    Try to keep sessions short and fun, gradually increase the volume. Don't try to go too fast or you'll just have to start over.

    You probably can't with a turn signal but see of you can turn it off or down. Most cars these days it's not a real sound and is just played through the speakers so there might be a volume setting somewhere. Our dog was also terrified of the beeps the washing machine made when it finished. Would run off to hide under our bed, surprisingly it had volume settings in the manual and i could turn it off completely.

    I've been using it for several years now. It did take me about a year to learn it before switching though.

    My previous server was the same install for about a decade old and it took weeks to unpick everything and migrate, the random edit to config years earlier that's apparently critical to something i don't even remember until it breaks or the cron running on a service account i forgot exists.

    I love that it's all in one place now with git history

    I did a bunch around me with street complete until it started asking the width of the roads. Is that actually useful?

    I started filling in all the house names because nothing here is numbered. It hasn't improved delivery drivers finding us 🤣

    I've been waiting for all the new software that is going to displace the expensive incumbents.

    Pretty much every industry has specialist software that is really expensive so there's plenty of choices for a competitor to make.
