How does the law require them to be greedy?

I just assumed that it was shareholders.

Yeah, CalDAV looks like the best fit from my limited searching, it's just actually putting that into a usable system that I can use that I'm struggling with!

I (and plenty of people I know) regularly attend live music, with on the door prices that are equivalent to the cost of a few drinks. But equally I've been prices out of seeing some of my favourite acts because they're big enough to demand higher costs so I totally get where you're coming from.

I think what I'm getting at could better be phrased as; people don't want to see small acts much these days.

There's loads of acts like Ed Sheeran, but if you're into Ed, not just music like him, it's going to seem like it's impossible to watch it live, when in actuality there's a lot of gigging musicians who are out there with accessible performances.

That's partly it as well! It's fun to explore artists and genres who aren't super mainstream.

Although sometimes it's just artists who aren't likely to be that well known. I saw Asgeir in Bristol for less than £50 - he's pretty mainstream I'd say (>700k monthly listens on Spotify) - he just happens to be Icelandic and performing in his mother tongue at least half the time.

Not the original commenter, but it think they're not okay with it, just clarifying the situation...

I went to the wrong church...

Traditional porridge is amazing. Just with a little salt added it's the most fantastic breakfast food.

If you're a billionaire you're exploiting people - It's literally impossible to become a billionaire without exploiting others.

Do they use the little plastic discs? I always wonder if that's not liable to scratch up the screen...

In the UK Oatly is the go-to. They have a specific 'barista' oatmilk which is pretty decent.

Are they the root, or are they a justification? Seems like a pretty reductive take, to be honest.

Wars have been occurring for a long time, and generally a desire for resources (including control over people) is a leading cause. Religion is an easy thing to use to get people to lay their lives on the line for you if they already have that belief. Equally it's an easy scapegoat for anti-religious people to blame wars on as well.

This conflict isn't just about religion. If it was then Israel's neighbours probably would have got involved as well.

For what it's worth, I'm going to get one on order - it's a small enough expenditure that I don't think it'll matter terribly if I hate it!

I'll update this post with my experiences when I've had it and had a chance to test it out, if there's interest?
