I can understand wanting to format more extensively than markdown allows one to and therefore wanting to have it on ones own website. But as you suggest having the full text with the link at the top with a note saying "hey I'm posting the text here but I have a version at this link with the formatting I intended it to have" seems like a good compromise?

Comes down to a matter of preference but just something potentially worth flagging.

And the controllers are transparent and you can see the trail cam lights! I would love the better camera but seeing in ir of sorts is cool.

Longer answer is that the enforcement is outsourced to a company that tracks if your address is paid or not and then sends spam post to remind you you've not paid and to say that they'll definitely come and check your house but I don't know anyone who's had their house checked.
They've been debating overhauling it a long time as refusing to pay is becoming a bigger problem. They've debated making log in codes that allow you to use iPlayer if you've paid but that never happened. Part of the problem with this is that it's legal to watch at an address that has paid the licence fee even if you haven't. If you wanted to watch whilst at your parents or whilst staying with friends and they paid and you didn't that would be completely legal but good luck trying to make a code system that would work for that.

Comment on Why is there no word for please in the Nordic languages – are their speakers simply more direct, or is politeness expressed in ways outsiders may not immediately recognise in ~humanities.languages

As a side node "is" being the literal translation feels quite like the usage of "can" in Singlish. I imagine there's a connection there somewhere I'm not aware of.

Wind loading is probably more of a thing but it doesn't get major hurricanes very often either it's mostly strong storms from the tail end of north Atlantic hurricanes. There isn't as much parking available as North America however especially in the south where land is more expensive.

You're unlikely to be able to save anything as there will be extra costs involved that you may have not expected and the costs against the salary and location you've mentioned. The new laws on renting allowing you to give 2 months notice do work in your favour though regarding unstable employment. I'm not trying to say this to shut down the idea but just to avoid you feeling bad if you go for it and are then unable to save anything. Moving out and living on your own feet is a goal enough with the savings you've got.
There might be cheaper options and give you some geographic space from your parents Newport or Cardiff way though that give train options for the commute?

It has search as a backup but when it first searches locally over various sources like the encyclopedias it seems more right than when I just use gemini
https://www.php.net/ has the information now. The key information though is only patching is a full fix.
