VAT on meat you say...
And expensive. Imagine the cost of changing the entire road network over to use metric.
"Minister, we have a cunning way to lower the speed limits, and go metric, at the same time..."
I mean, we should be able to interact with mastodon via fedipub, right?
If we had a separate server, it might be messy, as then there are two sets of accounts.
I'd say the conservatives do a pretty bang up job treating disabled people badly.

It's more on the technical side, but could suit you.
You don't understand though, by being visionaries who disregard accepted margins of safety, they lowered the cost per (attempted) launch by almost 3%!
I'll keep an eye on the feddit.uk applications for [email protected] in that case!
And the SM57 for things you don't need a screen on.
How many pictures of my arse does the instance need to keep the zuckerbots away?
Too many places treat CCAS as plan A, but it does make sense doing it in the background as a plan B.
It does worry me though, that everyone is just going to go "eh, we'll just capture it in 20 years".
With a bit of luck, native RTC support means 2-way comms using reolink doorbells is close at hand.
A discussion on the other site claimed that the fuck-up was in the copy that Universal sent to Mattel.
And that wrong websites frequently end up on packaging in other industries.
Mattel seem to be doing the sorry-dance for it, so no idea if it's true. Though I'm sure Universal would be very keen to not be involved.
I once changed a friend's autocorrect from "regards" to "lots of love".
And I somehow managed to keep my mouth shut long enough for a lecturer to get a very funny email.
Network Rail (who own and maintain the track/infrastructure) are state run.
It was privatised for about 5 years, it was a disaster, and it was brought back in house.
Trains are run by TOCs, though these are being gradually coming back to the state too.
The honest answer is, we have a fuckton of track, much of which has been there since victorian times.
Couple that with diesel-electric trains that run at 125mph already, a lot of track that doesn't get that much use, and the electrification number is low.
We're slowly getting there.
New lines are electric from the start, and electrification projects are rolling out.
It can be a pain in the ass though (GWML, for example. We had to order bi-mode trains to continue down to the westcountry, and while the electric part was completed.)
Plus the issue that any track that's busy enough to prioritise electrification on is going to be more complex because of the impact any downtime causes on a busy route.
I'm just waiting for a third python to arrive with minor problematic differences.
My phone always ran the site too slowly to swipe, I have no idea which direction was which.
Originally, council housing was supposed to be available for everyone.
A socially funded, reasonably priced, decent accommodation for anyone.
With the added bonus for the council that they have properties vulnerable people could be housed in at cost.
And there are still legacy tenants from those days happily living in their council places.
R2B was brought in, with the stated idea of giving long-term renters the opportunity to buy at a discount.
A leg up onto owning and running their own house.
Unfortunately with the way it was implemented, it ended up gutting the supply of council houses, until we reach today.
Where only the most vulnerable have a sniff of a chance of being allocated a council house.
Somebody should make a microsite with this graphic that updates every time there is an election.

Farage will not hold face-to-face surgeries
Nigel Farage says he has been advised it could lead to violence and refers to the death of Southend West MP Sir David Amess.
Following Mr Farage's claim that he had been advised not to hold in-person surgeries by the Speaker's Office, the Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said he would advise MPs to take advice from parliament's security team and "do so safely" if they asked him for advice on holding surgeries.
Safe access buffer zones will be in force around abortion clinics from 31 October to bring in stronger safeguards for women accessing services.

I've recently started buying 3D blurays
Anybody else on here on the 3D train?
Having recently finished setting up the projector (bin rescue), screen (£20, gumtree), and working out the glasses required (£20, eBay), I finally got my first taste of home shutterglass 3D.
We watched Pirates!, as I happened to have the disc in 3D already. 3D lends itself well to Aardman's models and physical sets. I like 3D best when it's like looking through a window, or onto a stage.
It also turned out that my steelbook of The Hobbit contained the 3D copy too. We're only 30 mins through it, but there are some nice shots (I particularly liked the one of Bilbo watching Gandalf through the window)
I checked with CEX, and 3D discs are now mostly quite reasonably priced. So we went and bought about 70% of the local branch's stock, for the princely sum of £20.*
While yes, it is a novelty, and a bit of a gimmick at times...It's fun. And gives me a bonus inexpensive collectable hobby!
*(Pro-tip: If you're going to do similar, go when it's not busy, and apologise to them in advance. The 3D discs are all mixed in with the standard ones, and the poor guys spent about 20 minutes hunting)
Aubrey Plaza Never Watched ‘White Lotus’ Because ‘I Had Trouble Opening My Max Account’ and ‘Couldn’t Figure Out the Password … I’d Love a DVD’
