Huh, that's supprisingly generous of them!

I may be guilty of assuming things works the same everywhere

Most insurance policies will require that the insured trip begins in your home country. (Not that you bought it there) There was a news story about this recently.

Can you not extend your initial insurance? I would really recommend having a chat with a person at one of the insurance companies.

The train guards are the ones who check the tickets, do the announcements etc. the drivers went on strike a few years ago (and maybe partially now too?) to stop them being fired. They can't run trains without them.

And working on stuff that never gets shipped/used is demoralising too. No product to be proud of making/maintaining etc.

Also remember - no computers and that all space access is through the spacing guild or whatever it's called.

So control/timing is difficult and you would have to persuade (bribe) the spacing guild to support you. (Or have someone suicidal enough to do it manually. Could be set up manually with a timer I guess?

I assume that if you created a Lemmy account and subscribed to all the kbin communities (magazines?) you were interested in that would mostly cover you? I think the federation works?

Does Kbin have any other functionality there that wouldn't work?

Sounds like a prelude to bankruptcy. Also sounds like an incredibly badly run company. Difficult business to be in though I guess.

I wonder if their lawyers are getting paid...

The Royal Mint's currency arm loses money, and made losses of £13.1million in 2022/23, up from £4.5million the year before.

Making a loss out of making money! Do you think they have to mint their own overtime?!? /j (GNU Terry Pratchet)

It's effectively a luxury item right, you would have thought that the market for that would have been fine? Unless they are just being undercut too much by foreign manufacturers?

There was one where I let the murderer dwarf kill someone because I thought I was stealthing closer when apparently I was stealthing away...

That's the only one I remember off the top of my head. There were a few though, ended up quicksaving a lot in dialogs.

Ay least early on, there were quite a few options in the third act that really didn't do what you thought they would. I definitely had to reload some saves because of that.

Hopefully it's better now

Can't they put a lien on the big, solid, not going anywhere asset the landlord happens to have in the country?
