Why in God’s name is the levy on electricity and not on gas?

Unemployment at the highest rate since National were last in power. I guess we’re back on track?

How about a nice “Hello” and no physical contact of any kind?

Not me.

Cooperate how if we can’t get to space for an affordable price? SpaceX is leading at making space available at scale.

Fold them into NASA then. Don’t throw away their tech or engineering skill, that’s just a waste.

Nationalise SpaceX or force it’s sale. Musk aside, it’s holding up American dominance of the space industry.

Each year I dump all the power plans I can find into a spreadsheet and compare with an exported CSV of my usage (half hourly) to make sure I’m on the best plan (and switch if I’m not).

It’s onerous to say the least. This should help immensely.

Drum spider and drum with two dissimilar metals that react and eats the drum spider away with use?

They’ve been doing it for decades at this point. No idea why people buy Samsung appliances.

Then again even Bosch and Miele have started using plastic welded drums which prevent repair of simple parts like bearings and motors so… Fuck us all I guess.

As someone who has used dashes for decades, this recent trend bothers me.

Was that an EV problem, or a “modern car with big wheels and shallow rims” problem?

The Ioniq 5 and the Tucson both have the same 235 / 55 R19 wheels and tyres for example.

Ram isn’t the only issue. It’s the bloat it needs to load even to display a simple UI.

Using electron for seemingly every app will do that.

Hungary is a signatory to the Rome Statute and would legally have to arrest Putin if he set foot there…

But watch as they do nothing.

The tech was great, but they alienated everyone by making it compulsory at the start and trying to shoe horn its adoption.

Agree that Nintendo could get away with it.

Remember how much money they wasted on Kinect?

I feel like the female birds should be wearing brown.

Not arguing with your point, it’s valid. But I wanted to make it clear from OPs point about book DRM that this is not an issue with Kobo. The books themselves as mostly DRM free and you can put whatever you want on the device.

You can still transfer epubs and most books on the kobo store are sold without DRM (publisher choice)

Having spent a lot of time in hospital with my wife who was in and out of the ICU, formalising this is great.

But, I have reservations. Shared hospital rooms are already loud places where patients have interrupted sleep at best. More people in there when they don’t need to be is not a good thing.

That, and we should just be hiring enough nurses to do the job, and not farming off the work onto family members because this government are too laser focused on tax cuts for the wealthy, than funding basic essential services.
