@nprofile…fv4z funny thing spotted there. Jersey (the channel island between UK and France) is a wild outlier in those tables, with a GINI of 0.3? Did they decide to once and for all stop the murders of wealthy socialites on tv's Bergerac by instituting Charlie Stross' fully automatic luxury gay space communism?
No. If only. Their GINI numbers are not measured from 0 to 100 like everyone else, but from 0 to 1 (p19) https://www.gov.je/sitecollectiondocuments/government%20and%20administration/r%20income%20distribution%20report%202021%2020230630%20sj.pdf

@npub1upk…tcwy for 9, use a menu completion option to choose from multiple answers. zsh has one built in, but fzf-tab-completion works in bash too, since that's the question.

@npub10pr…qn7d wait is this not exactly the plot of the Scot Squad Christmas Special, "Christmassy Wonderland"? (10m in) https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b086zs3d/scot-squad-christmas-special

In between catching up on some @npub1psd…9sr7 (now just 1 book behind) randomly found out that pre-1604, James I/VI changed the shilling inscription to read EXURGAT DEUS DISSIPENTUR INIMICI - "Let God arise and His enemies be scattered" - which sounds _exactly_ like what one of Charlie's cultists would say while immanentizing the eschaton. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shilling_(British_coin)#:~:text=Early%20shillings%20of%20James%20I%20feature%20the%20alternative%20reverse%20inscription%20EXURGAT%20DEUS%20DISSIPENTUR%20INIMICI%2C%20meaning%20%22Let%20God%20arise%20and%20His%20enemies%20be%20scattered%22
