  • More soulless than the unused boardroom of an SME based in a small industrial estate built in the late 1990s.

    Spotlight hell, pseudo-idyllic Edwardian childhood signifiers, 20 shades of griege, an auditorium worth of chairs & sofas arrayed about the pool, bizarre proportions, including in the original house due to unnecessary removal of walls.

    View of the distant trees from the glass extension in photos 12 & 13 marred by service station style landscaping in the near to mid-ground.

    Because though uPVC windows lack the myriad advantages of wood or stone frames, sometimes it is better for the ongoing fabric of a building to just get it weatherproof until someone comes along who can afford to put in more suitable replacements.

    Then white uPVC frames are much cheaper than coloured versions.

  • If someone were prosecuted for pirating research papers which they, as someone who pays tax in a country which funded that research, have any likelihood of success in using that point as a defence? Or if they made the paper available to residents of that country?

    Am sure corporate interests & standard neoliberalism would move swiftly to stifle any such angle of attack, but still.

    Whatever about anywhere else, within the US, the foundational concept of no taxation without representation could apply here without much stretch.
