Anyone who could afford to do that is not worrying about their pension today. 2024-11-30T13:54:20+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxemkqtcd0y05wasw0vq9ln80dg5y0fv9d4vhquylvr3040v6gveszyr7qj5qfrrqwlchyq92t7sa9ycrepp0ft54a4tghdchzfdq8q30zk706j4p In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8k8d54cg60g52l9nthsw78dt36s9t2pz0lwx8ld86k55znfdx6ecqzsdff'>nevent1q…sdff</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>if by any chance IDNet are in the list of &#39;a few others&#39; I might be able to test switching in.
