Same here. Works great, incredibly cheap too.

can't believe it's been a year! feels like much longer, it's already quite a mature community with a good set of rules enforced fairly. thanks to the mods and admins for all the hard work <3

I really hope this is what is happening, but I worry that Tom Hamilton is too much of a Labour insider to see this objectively. I know he cites some neutral (BBC) and right wing (Fraser Nelson / The Spectator) pick up of the lies, but I won't feel comfortable until I see someone like Iain Dale talking about it on LBC.

Starmer's really ballsed this up hasn't he. First unambiguous unforced error (some might say letting Elphicke into the party was an error but it's clear what the logic was there).

Green policies really don't make sense. You have Green councillors opposing wind farms.

People who say there's no difference between Tories and Labour can get in the sea. Or do some national service, idk.

I think nearly everyone was thinking that - pundits, fans, other teams' supporters, everyone. Goalkeeper would have been last on my list of upgrades last summer, but I'm pleased to say I was wrong on that.

Exactly, if their claims were processed faster and more competently (i.e. with very low likelihood of successful appeal), then the ones who are not genuine asylum seekers can be deported legally and quickly, which is surely a greater deterrent than the Rwanda scheme.

Am I just a naive lefty? What am I missing?

Used electrics are good value now. I have an electric car which I lease, and so far the depreciation on the car has outstripped the cost of the lease by a factor of 2, meaning I will definitely be "up" vs having bought it outright. I'll definitely buy a used electric once the lease expires.

There's no way the cost of new electrics won't come down, economic gravity will force it.

Not really a fan of her being in the Labour party. Think that was quite unnecessary -- Starmer is going to win the next election with or without this woman. And what specifically about the Labour Party's aims and values resonate with her? When you join the Labour party as a member, it's not like subscribing to Amazon Prime. It means you have to actually agree to the aims and values of the Labour Party as described in Clause IV, which begins "The Labour Party is a democratic socialist party," and includes things like "promotes equality of opportunity" and "delivers people from ... prejudice". Does she agree with any of that? I'm very confused as to how a right wing ERG member could possibly want to join a democratic socialist party, let alone agree with its broader aims and values.

The merit of permitting her to cross the aisle and sit as a Labour MP is obvious, but so is the cost. I didn't like it when all those antisemites joined under Corbyn's leadership, and I don't like this now.

I don't name my servers anything special, but I do name my various Zigbee sensors in Home Assistant after Egyptian gods. Atum-Ra, Tefnut, Shu, etc. I've avoided the ones that also coincide with Stargate gods, as I thought that would be too exciting for me.

Honestly this is better than nothing and very welcome for me. Not often I say good things about Michael Gove but he's done a great job on this and the cladding fiasco.

The real thing that cripples me as a leaseholder though is the service charges, which have doubled since I bought the place. The whole thing is a total con.

Say that to a tube driver, he’ll land a really good punch on your face.

The tube drivers, who famously never go on strike.

I am now a motorway nerd, having first seen Jay Foreman's "Unfinished London" series with the stuff on the Ringways, and then found this channel a month or so ago. Every time we pass the M25/M26 interchange, I comment on the fact that, to exit the motorway, you have to use the right two lanes (!!!). It's a whole thing with my wife now, where she is a little bit interested but doesn't want to encourage any further motorway history conversation. I've got to really tread a careful line.

Even in her "apology" and longer "clarification" it's incredibly hard to understand what her substantial point is. I bet you could give her 10 years to try to explain how the Sydney stabbing was in any serious way related to pro-Palestine marches and it still wouldn't make sense. Does she tweet the same thing any time there is a stabbing somewhere in the world? "Oh look, a stabbing in South Korea -- perfect time to tweet about intifada?"

Not sure exactly what you're asking but I have a Coral mini pcie with frigate and it works great. Hardly any cpu and tiny power consumption.

It's very weird. I would have thought walking would feel more free than being stuck in traffic all day.

that's cool 👍

Frankly I think they are still too expensive for most people up front. It's a lot cheaper to run if you can charge at home, but if you can't afford the extra £5k-£10k vs an equivalent petrol car then you're not going to buy it. New EVs in particular are overpriced IMO, whereas the used market is actually pretty good value right now. There's just no point in spending £37k-42k on a new Kia Niro EV when you can get a 3 year old model for £15k-20k that's just as good.

my actual biggest wish, which I will never get because the administrative costs would be astronomical, is that the cost added to goods be directly tied to their recyclability (both in materials and labor) as it would incentivize building more easily recycled products by manufacturers to keep costs competitive.

Interesting point. I guess the price of the individual product won't be differentiated based on cost of recycling, but there will still be an incentive for retailers and therefore manufacturers to make products last longer, which might be better in the long run?
