Catholic priest allegedly spends $40K of parish money on Candy Crush, slot machine apps
  • Amazingly he didn’t spend $44,000 - he spent a total of $214,000!

    FTA: According to CBS News, citing a criminal complaint and affidavit of probable cause, Lawrence Kozak allegedly spent over $214,000 on his Apple ID, with just under $44,000 of that amount charged to a credit card associated with the parish.

  • Phil Spencer blames capitalism for games industry woes: 'I don't get [the] luxury of not having to run a profitable growing business'
  • You don’t pay tax on growth, you do on dividends. For large shareholders a high dividend can be a problem. Even for me, a very small time retail investor, I have to keep a balance of growth (like Apple) and dividend (I tend to use a dividend ETF so I can fairly reliably estimate my dividends) so I can avoid paying tax on the dividends.

    Putin doesn't really want a war with NATO because 'Russia will lose and lose quickly,' UK military chief says
  • I hear this all the time and it’s very subjective - I would argue the second largest is the US Army Aviation Branch - if you count helicopters have a lot more aircraft than the US Navy.

    Also the Russian Air Force has more aircraft than the US Navy per most sources. I suspect the internet meme got the Navy and Army Aviation swapped around.

  • Don’t feel too bad, you’d have to be at least 50 to have used one during their heyday! My grandmother had one and they did work really well, although the thought of milk spending all night sitting on my bedside table does put me off.

  • Thanks for stepping in and giving us some stability!

    Thank you also to Tom for working to keep the site up, alone, for so long.

    Have you given any thoughts to funding? For example a Patreon or other fund raising sites. Not sure how many people would send you cash but I assume even £10 from a few people would help cover expenses and keep the site healthier.

  • What's a word you've spent a long time not using right?
  • I would say it means strong but with an implied sadness, but you can have positive poignant memories too - you’d just have to state they were positive. The day I graduated from University was poignant because it was the end of an era and the start of another, but it doesn’t mean it is a sad memory.

    Hello Reddit refugees and greetings to the Fediverse!

    Hello and thank you for being part of the Fediverse experiment. This Community is run by some long term Discord and Reddit community members - as this is a whole new world it's possible many of us have different names - I am LordWarfire from both Reddit and Discord and wanted to welcome you to this new place.

    Please make yourselves at home and let us know what you'd like to see here and how you found us!

    For anyone who found us via the Fediverse - this is a Community for the town of Reading in Berkshire, rather than for the thing you do with books. I know, it's confusing. We even pronounce it differently - welcome to "Redding" :)

    Thanks!
