Honestly surprised its not american. Even more glad I don’t have one now

You really should be cooking your bacon longer or at a higher temperature if its giving you food poisoning. If its crispy its safe to eat.

I wondered this locally when we had about 100 police from multiple other counties turning up to deal with a far right protest with protestors coming in from all over the place and protesting against the disruption caused by a bus and a lifeboat.

300 a month just in standing charges? Ouch, andi I thought my 50p or so per day was bad.

They work a lot better when you are directly obstructing the action you are protesting against.

I install gimp on my work PC. Anubis isn’t weird enough.

Did the whole world lose their shit? I was in primary school at the time which might be part of it but I didn’t really notice that much in the UK as far as day to day life goes.

By fuck all overall. Gas is going up more. Which always amuses me when the media cries about energy prices. I electrified years ago when the gas boiler died. Currently on like £85/month for energy and that hasn’t yet factored in some more recent efficiency changes I have made.

Last time I checked the majority of people travel under 5 miles for most car trips.

Should a single cable really support so many standards and high data rates though? That puts a lot of limitations on what is often just a stupidly overengineered charging cable.

You get mashed potato in sachets?

UK, prime minister speeches are usually done in the street in front of their house. Sometimes you might see Larry the cat in the background

You can make a crude firearm/hand held pipe bomb with a pipe and lighter. A lot less effort than 3d printing one.

Are they going to go after builders merchants now?

So do we have to cut the tube, or block it?

I think its like people who loudly hate pineapple on pizza or nickelback. Like OK, you don’t have a personality of your own. Got it.

It was a woman who first told me “she was probably asking for it” in defence of a teacher who raped a student at the school I went to. It was the first time I had ever heard that phrase.

Families being squeezed for more money pushes both adults into the workforce. Well if both work they can afford more rent, if they can afford more rent then the house is worth more to a landlord and the price goes up and up. Banks profit, landlords profit. You get fucked.

Even if you buy instead of rent, the banks are making more than ever on the higher interest that result from high housing costs.

Neither of these contribute anything of benefit to society. They don’t build roads or improve the local community. Yet they benefit from the work of others who do by increasing the amount they take even more!

UK for perspective but I have heard enough business owners asking how to avoid paying tax while making tips appear mandatory (illegal) to have no respect for them.

If it was my employer then would I even be allowed to give a tip? If they are paying I would probably spend what ever I can to max out the limit.

Which then leaves an interesting idea. Why 20% tip instead of 20% more food?

When its normal, its hardly significant.
