Rest assured that they've already had that idea a dozen times already, and if they thought they could make it stick, they would have done so by now.

Mental health problems by any chance? He may need more help than family can provide if you want him to get back on his feet (and out the door).

It would be a good sign if he seems like he wants to get his own place again, even if he's not able to make steps towards it.

Source: I'd probably be in the same boat if the laws and property upkeep rules were stricter here. Even so, I'd be wanting to get out of family accommodation ASAP. My family are good people, but I can't spend long periods with them. There might be a hint or two in that somewhere.

(But whatever you do, please don't fail to be kind.)

Most of the old buildings (usually churches / cathedrals) here have been built upon and changed over the centuries so what you see above ground is still old, but it's not - at least comparatively - ancient.

I'm in England. I may or may not be in a town that has something like that, but even the places that don't have something are within a couple of hours' drive of somewhere that does.

I will say that where I am is listed in the Domesday book, but that isn't saying much to be fair.

How about, I don't know, not yanking the cord (or setting things up so the cord is yanked automatically) and pursuing the payment later?

But then that could mean that someone might - even temporarily - get something for nothing, and they can't be seen to promote anything even remotely similar to that.

Perhaps this tiny company are so close to the knife edge that they can't afford to allow it to happen. Must have constant revenue stream or else close up sho... wait, Micro-who?

How it became the most prominent conspiracy theory is wild to me.

Every word in "Jet fuel can't melt steel beams" is a single syllable. Very easy to rattle around in an empty head. I mean, heck, it's still rattling around in mine...

I just imagined a horrible alternative universe where it's illegal for brand names to become corrupted regardless of whatever else happens to data. Eventually humanity would start communicating only in brand names to ensure messages get through. *shudder*

Or any of the churches that have kept Christmas where the Julian calendar had it, which is generally some time in January.

Why do you think you wanted to run ELIZA on a Timex/Sinclair 2068?

WHY IN GODS NAME ARE YOU LEAF-BLOWING AT 8AM ON A SATURDAY

These people are usually the sorts who rise at 5am regardless of day and have become bored after 3 hours awake. If they think about it at all, they believe that everyone who is not yet up by 8am is a fool who ought to be out of bed, thus that is the perfect time to make noise.

As to why they rise at 5am, take your pick from: i) Old and unable to sleep for long periods - Will be asleep again in an armchair by 11am once they've gone back inside; ii) Military bearing or wannabe - Probably has reveille.wav for an alarm; iii) Abject a-hole who gets a kick out of it. Honourable mention: iv) someone with no choice under direction from one of the above.

If there was ever a time to replace this Drake format with the Geordi LaForge alternative, this was it.
