So, a few clips from an old recording and I have a credible Michael Jayston to read me bits of the new John le Carré thriller, penned by his son Nick, thanks to the Eleven Labs reader.
Uncanny.
Jayston died only a few months ago, according to a quick google. The real Audiobook is read by Simon Russell Beale , who did a credible George Smiley on the radio of course.
My george will always be Bernard Hepton, thanks to a little box of cassettes in the 1990's.

Is there any reason (besides available features) that I couldn’t use a free personal plan for my business until it starts bringing in money? Once I’ve got a more consistent income stream from the business I could then upgrade to a business plan.
I’m the sole employee in the business. I think the only major feature I’d be missing by taking this approach would be a custom domain — which I have setup already via my family plan on Proton.

Finland approved mining exploration in Sámi territory without assessing its cultural impact or gaining Sámi consent.
Sámi sisters led the case, arguing that traditional governance structures were ignored.
UN ruled Finland must amend its laws to recognize Sámi collective land rights and fully implement free, prior and informed consent.
“Sustainability is an empty word if you don’t respect and implement Indigenous rights here in our homelands.”
Näkkäläjärvi, Sámi leader.

To je inak zaujimavy "twist", ze kym volakedy bojovali v "proxy vojnach" proti sebe USA a ZSSR, tak dnes mozno toto budu robit Juzna Korea proti Severnej.
Co je zatial konzistentne/to iste je to, ze sa nadalej jedna o cca "kapitalisti vs. komunisti".
