Yay! It's Friday! So to celebrate I grabbed a copy of this year's must-have instructional tome, "The servant's behaviour book : Or, hints on manners and dress for maid servants in small households - Patmore, Emily A. (Emily Augusta), 1824-1862" available at the #gopherhole or via the web front-end at https://petergarner.net/gopher/eBooks/pg78121-images-3.epub
If you've ever wondered how a servant should move, speak or interact with the family, then this book's for you. And never the forget the pivotal role that The Tray plays in the life of a servant! A fascinating insight into life "below stairs".

Morning all! Today's offerings at the gopherhole are a mix of dystopia and sleaze. I've added a very few selected Epstein files which I'll be keeping visible with today's date for the rest of the week. Also, some papers on 5th Generation Warfare, which segways nicely(?) into Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRAD). I'm also scratching around for some info on NBIC...
TBH I'm constantly bemused by the money and effort "we" put into hurting/killing/controlling each other, especially in the name of freedom.
"Enjoy" .. at https://petergarner.net/#gopher-latest - today only, thereafter via your gopher client 😉

I just downloaded the Taiwan Government Guide: Civil Defense Handbook 2025 (English) - I'm building up a small collection for the gopher server. I'm UK-based. It amazes me that every PDF I've downloaded so far is in English, but when I look for our own UK Government version, I read "*While the UK does not have a physical guide for citizens at a time of emergency or war, there are plenty of resources online... Unlike some other countries, it avoids advice on conflict but there have been calls for the UK to be more like Sweden and be prepared for war*". It just sucks, really.
