Yeah, never going to vote for someone who rejects the existence of my friends. I’ll vote for someone else and if there is no one to vote for I will draw a giant knob on the sheet in protest of the shit choices.

I get my exercise by cycling to work, sun or storm I have to get to work. So I’ll be cycling 80km a week. That is before any extras like going to the shops or anything else.

Gyms have loads of them in the UK too though so it isn’t just being a shithole. Trivially easy to walkor cycle along coastal paths here.

I know people who spend several times more on exercise bikes than I spend on real bikes.

Didn’t they arrest someone for holding up a blank sign?

Licence for wildlife to exist seems so odd, got a licence for that beaver?

Anyone not actively supporting Israels genocide will be treated as a terrorist.

None of these people I know about willingly.

The roleplay continues. Now we get water with a bucket from the nearby stream!

Compromise and set them to the lowest setting then.

Some of us only view US politics through memes.

Yeah, it seems like they are. Its a shame though, spoons needs competition. I don’t know the price per pint for a pub supplier but supermarkets provide a wide variety for under £1/pint. So even if you don’t get the same bulk deals as spoons, surely being within £1 or so shouldn’t be too difficult? I mean that is +50% still but that is more reasonable than +300%

If it was a just bit more I could believe that a lot more. Also we have a local independent Chinese restaurant that sells drinks for vastly less than any other pub except spoons. They absolutely don’t have bulk supplier options. Honestly wouldn’t even surprise me if they are just buying it from Tesco.

Have they tried charging a reasonable amount for drinks? Spoons can charge under £2 a drink, what expenses do you have that they don’t to justify charging several times more?

It will help if you use very little and cost more if you use lots.

I would be curious how little energy it takes in summer as its still doing hot water. Pretty sure with the summer we had it could have acted like a heat exchanger alone and the water would have been warm enough. Its internal thermometer read well over 40c most days when it was in the sun.

Maybe a combination of getting used to not spending money and things being increasingly shit, but I don’t know what I would want to bother spending this on.

Even when I was earning £600 a month on apprentice wages in the late 2010s I don’t think this would have meaningfully changed my life.

They can work just fine if you have a fairly wide area, a parallel path would probably be fine in places that doesn’t work though. Ideally you would want to keep the distance someone walks from when they have to get off their bike pretty short or realistically you are going to get a lot of people just cycling anyway.

Isn’t this advice basically the same has it has been for years if not decades? Have a few days of food and any medication. Torches, candles etc.

Annoyingly power banks are out of stock here because of this and I need a new one as my old one turned into a spicy pillow recently. Still got 1 left but its nice for us to have 1 each. Still, it lasted like 10 years so that isn’t too bad.

Maybe I am being overly cynical but this sounds like a handout to fossil fuel companies to keep people using gas longer. The standing charge was an extra reason to push me towards cutting off my gas supply entirely several years ago and going fully electric.

Crazy thing is despite all the propaganda against it, my heat pump works great in my house that is almost 100 years old. A kW of heat is a kW of heat regardless of where it comes from.
