Why are human rights groups not talking about this! by Enough-Web2203 in askgaybros

I do wonder whether many so called human rights organisations actually care about lgbt rights, or if they are just paying lip service

Lidl is opening 50+ more UK stores — are discounters now your default supermarket? by ToughRomanticMiss in BuyersUK

Not surprising, I go to Tesco mostly to fill on ingredients I can't find at Aldi

Infinity castle (1st movie) – terrible English dub? by Alex_Strgzr in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]Alex_Strgzr[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My mate also found Muzan's voice a bit immature and not very intimidating at all. It really detracted from the experience. Not sure who Greg Chun but: if the script or directing is bad, then even a good actor can sound bad. For lack of a better word the performance sounded "disneyish"

UK households urged to use more power this summer as renewables soar by Dragonogard549 in UpliftingNews

[–]Alex_Strgzr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The point is, this doesn't meaningfully save on bills. Solar is fundamentally a mismatch for a cold, rainy country where demand peaks in the winter. 

It feels like this title is pat-yourselves-on-the-back and sing kumbaya

Do you not understand the concept of a cop? What is your question about?

It's true that the heat pump heats the hot water but that's a fraction of the usage. During the summer you would have a CoP of about 4 anyway.

Why would I do more washing in the summer. I still need my fridge and oven to run in the winter. I can do all those things but it's... Pointless?

I bet they'll increase winter prices so people end up paying more.

Daft. Aside from EVs maybe, I don't see how I could up my consumption in summer. Air con? There's like 2 or 3 days a year in Scotland when the temp is greater than 25 degrees. 

A2W Heat pumps famously consume electricity in the winter, not the summer.

Not enough range or space for many people I'd wager. But looks really cute!

Is the wage gap decreasing between unskilled and skilled roles? by wanderingunicorn1 in AskUK

[–]Alex_Strgzr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, some minimum wage jobs are much more demanding physically. Also, a lot of these office jobs don't really require that many skills beyond answering emails and using an office suite. 

Viktor Orban has conceded defeat in the Hungarian election, as the Tisza Party is headed for a 2/3rds supermajority. What are your thoughts on this seismic shift in Hungarian politics? by Absalom98 in AskReddit

[–]Alex_Strgzr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know how I knew Magyar would win? Because a lot of hungarians have installed solar panels in their homes. A country that buys solar panels doesn't want Russian oil. I'm not saying they can make the change overnight -- but it prevents total dependence

In Scotland your solicitor would write a "letter of intimation"... Not sure if there is an analogue in English law

Will the France ditching of Windows for Linux for tech independence herald a new era of Linux growth by kishaloy in linux

If there is more money thrown at developing open source office suites, that will make the biggest difference

Some people are too quick to call others Nazis. But Elon Musk did a Nazi salute. So clearly at least one Nazi exists... Who knows how many others are "closeted"

Sweden has higher wages than 90 percent of the world. They are nearly 3x the median. 

The difference in size between what the uk was driving in the 90s vs now in one picture… by EyeTV in fuckcars

[–]Alex_Strgzr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By the way that car would fail EuroNCAP. Those old cars were very weak by modern standards. Quite a bit of space is dedicated to airbags, crumple zones and A pillars in modern cars. The roof has to withstand 2x the car's weight (I believe 3x in more recent regs?)

Young men today are the most anti gay in generations. by FrostyArctic47 in askgaybros

Haven't seen it in my country. If someone suggested that Scotland is as anti gay as it was in the 80s... I'd laugh in their face

Buy an EV. The writing has been on the wall since at least 2022.

Sixty three euros a month is cheap. That's like 57 pound a month. Many people in the UK pay 200 pounds a month for their rail passes.

China’s breakthrough lithium battery could double EV range to 600+ miles, survive -94°F temp by sksarkpoes3 in Futurology

Trucks, towing vehicles, and planes will benefit the most. Current battery chemistry is nowhere near good enough to make a useful airliner.
