The Sheffield fish cake is definitely the better beast.

But I like the minced up ones too.

If I could get proper fish cakes down here, I'd be a lot rounder.

I nearly left them after reading through all that, but I kinda reached the conclusion that they have open discussion about it on the company portal with users, they've given their justifications, and they are listening. Who knows though, maybe they're just funnelling through brave to save money, and it's got nothing to do with search results.

To me, it's an icecream with a smell of dogshit, rather than an icecream topped with dogshit. It's not completely perfect, but it's a struggle to find any service that's 100% agreeable nowadays.

Some of the supermarkets here have self scanners with a belt, and a packing area big enough for 5-6 bags, it's pretty awesome.
Aside from the odd age-restricted check, the only real problem is Mrs. Scoggins buying three items on it over the course of 20 minutes

It's pretty great. Though I'm sure it's built into the price (assuming they're talking about Uniqlo).

On the other hand, being able to walk into the supermarket, fill a trolly, then walk through an archway to get rung up...That would be pretty amazing.

Mod: delete this and I’ll stab your arse with a Lamy fountain pen. You’ve been warned.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Technically, you could dump the disc as an iso, then restore it to a disk later with the encryption intact.
Possibly not the best idea from a future access standpoint, mind!

Thames Water casually pulling strings at UCAS. (Or at least, truncating them)

I just want a half decent second hand EV that will do 120 miles, for a reasonable price.

I can buy an acceptable ICE car for £5k, and it'll do that.
But at that price range, the only BEVs can get are shagged leafs that will do 50 miles on a good day.

The really annoying thing, is that 95% of my journeys are sub 50 miles. But I'm not willing to spend more than half the journey time charging midway through.

In a similar more minor vein, the Snowpeircer (tv show) sub was administered by the showrunners.
They were mostly subtle about it, but quietly removed lots of posts after a week or so that didn't fit show promo.
I'm pretty sure they've abandoned it now that the show is in limbo.

And the silly thing is, a pub pint should be 568ml. A pub in the UK selling less than a full pint wouldn't be a pub very long.

I've commented on this before, though I couldn't find it to plagiarise myself.

Ford puma ICE: 1280KG
Nissan leaf BEV: 1580KG
Ford F150: 2134 KG
Range Rover: 2513KG

Honestly, tax weight and emissions. Emissions tax the energy put in the vehicle, and charge extra for high emissions in dense areas.

The thing that articles often miss is that HomeAssistant isn't designed to be another protocol, it's more like one UI wrapping up all the other protocols.
You buy different bits of kit, and so long as they're not made my a shitty manufacturer that locks everything down, homeassistant will likely work with them all once people have had time to add support.
