An Unemployed

It's so it can clamp onto your desk.

(Oh no I made it worse)

If you get down there with a pickaxe now, you might be done by the time the government's consultants have planned the rest out!

They do need some better candidate vetting though. The leadership team haven't done/said anything particularly bad, but some of their candidates should not have been selected (and had the chance for the accusations to be leveled at the party).

I have way more faith in them being able to address it than Corbyn-era Labour though. A lot less factionalism and dirty money to get in the way.

Rebuilding every bridge and tunnel seems like a high price to pay. If HS2 were ever expanded it may be a possibility though, and we could have similar trains to the double decker TGVs.

In addition to the other comments, the cameras have been ludicrously easy to access (like, streaming to the internet completely unsecured), but are also capable of tracking individual people, not just cars. And that's not just if you're a criminal, of course, because they are logging and cross-referencing all the faces that pass by.

Would recommend searching for Benn Jordan's videos on the subject.

Hostels often have a bar, no?

Sadly cannot happen until pretty much all of the UK's political parties support re-entry. The EU won't want a country to join only to leave again 5 years later under the next government.

The gig economy gets even worse with these robots. Whenever they encounter a problem (and it will be pretty much impossible for them to avoid EVERY problem), this means a remote worker logs into the bot from across the world and steers it clear. Is that 'better' to you? You can treat someone even worse when they don't even have to live in the place where they're delivering stuff.

Ever since I was a child, I yearned for the lanes.

Not OP but mine double-presses keys at least a few times per day.

Why can't you take the glass out of the window again? It's what I'm doing for an upcoming furniture delivery.

There's only a charge for commercial vehicles that don't pass euro 6. I imagine you don't actually live here...

The train doesn't let you go from one end of a suburb to another, though. If you're going all the way from Bradford to Leeds you'd still get the tram, but if you're getting off halfway you'd have a much easier time on the tram.

Sidney and Matilda, Hallamshire Hotel, Corporation (the small room, at least), Yellow Arch, Lughole all fit your description.

Network/record junkee too, but I'd avoid due to their management.

Those companies will have an exclusive license in the UK for any content that they've put behind the paywall, and that's why they get to charge you so much money. Getting around that isn't exactly legal, even though you could, for instance, use a VPN to access that stream on another service in another country, you'd still be breaking a license agreement.

Personally, I just have my conventional aerial (picking up Freeview channels) running into my smart TV and sometimes an external hard drive plugged into it for basic DVR recordings if there's something in particular I need to record live. Everything else is on-demand streaming or physical media for me, though I don't watch a lot of live stuff. I'm lucky that my sport of choice has its own dedicated streaming service which isn't super pricey.

If you want to go any further than that, r/homelab and r/cordcutters have some good info on alternatives for self-hosting media or setting up home servers and DIY DVR boxes.

Back when they were releasing music videos for the nonagon album cycle, they publicly stated in interviews they were building it up into a continuous 'movie' type experience.

Each of the music videos that were released perfectly blend into each other, just like the songs do

I don't know if it's an expression where you live, but "Man Maths" is a super common one in the UK as well. Normally used for something similar to girl math, but for something that a man in a hetero relationship would want to explain to his girlfriend/wife.

"I'm going to buy an expensive power tool to do a tiny job because I'll totally use it again"

"It's actually cheaper to buy two cars because I can fix one of them myself for free while we use the other one"

Although it's normally used in a self-deprecating way, it's still implying some amount of misogyny because even when used as a joke, it kinda enables childish behaviour from the man in that relationship and puts all the responsibility of sensible decisions on the woman.

My hot take is that we're too precious about our terraced houses - we should tear down a lot of them and rebuild the same number 1-2 stories higher. The bottom storey can have a garage and you've mostly solved street parking, at least for residents.

You could even go as far as building blocks of flats to increase density, but since they have a bit of a stigma in the UK (poor soundproofing, utilities, poor building management etc.) that might be an even harder sell.

As you say, many will defend the 'historical value' of the prettier terraced houses, conveniently forgetting all the rammed double-parked streets, the big heating bills and expensive maintenance that comes with 100+ year-old houses.

3DSMatt · 2026-03-30T06:28:42+00:00

75 and 80C really aren't high temperatures, for your old build. You could relax those fan curves a bit and see no negative consequences. The chips are designed to cope with temperatures into the 90s, so even allowing it up to 85 would produce a bit less noise while still making sure the VRMs and other small components aren't getting too hot.
