PSA: Solar panels and in-roof trays are cheaper than tiles, and have been for a very long time. Stop tiling roofs, and use Solar panels instead.

30km is absolute child's play on a bicycle, let alone an ebike. The issue here is a lack of infrastructure. Nothing for humans, just a shit highway for a country plagued by a historical decision to succumb to the automobile industry.

Hey drivers: I need you to understand that when you get to an intersection and there's a cyclist crossing in front of you, even if YOU know you see them, there's a good chance THEY don't know you do. Come to a fucking stop till they cross. Stop fucking rolling at them. Fucksake.

The only things that persist after an outage are learnings. Learnings from: * lost faith * tens or hundreds or millions in lost revenue * the lawsuit threats * lost clients * embarrassment * doubt But the learnings are rich because you know what you built and what you did wrong. Not with AI.

I was at an opticians yesterday and they were selling the Ray-Ban Pervert Glasses. I'd never gotten a close look before. They are virtually visually indistinguishable from any other pair of sunglasses unless you REALLY know what to look for. Ban them immediately, what the fuck?
Rayban Meta glasses. They look like black sunglasses.

Council wants pubs in London’s Soho and West End to ban standing
Sadiq Khan criticises Westminster council’s ‘anti-growth policies’ after it recommends stopping ‘vertical drinking’ Waiting at the bar and trying to catch the bartender’s eye so you can order a pint, before going to stand with your friends and have a catchup, has been how British people have experienced going to the pub for centuries. But Westminster council has been accused of trying to put a stop to it. The council, which has jurisdiction over one of the busiest nightlife districts in Europe – Soho and the West End – has recommended not allowing “vertical drinking” or ordering at the bar in its new draft licensing policy.

Tired of seeing these shit new builds with two solar panels each. The UK government is spineless and pathetic, and being endlessly scammed by the likes of Persimmon, Bloor, and other shit housebuilders.

"We use older models which are more efficient, and have cheaper tokens." They aren't more efficient, they're just efficient compared to the environmental disaster that new models are. New models are less efficient, not older models more.

An often understated benefit of Brexit is the choice it has brought us. A choice of 7 different PMs in 10 years, 20 different education and defence secretaries, and more. So much choice. We all know a PM can't get much done in 4 years, imagine how little we're getting done in 1.
