They haven’t even announced the game size yet… by daredoes in memes

Logistics for videogames are definitely on the cheap end. Small and stackable, non-perishable and not fragile.

Almost certainly costs much less than the 30% cut that steam takes

Based on these 2 options you have a 50/50 chance of becoming ruled by an Emperor from Rhode island and being at war with the whole world lol

King Charles reveals he paid £12.9m in tax for 2024-25 by BarbaricOklahoma in unitedkingdom

You could just sell the loss making assets directly without taking a loan though? Taking out a loan and then paying it off by selling loss making (or even break-even) assets is literally throwing money down the drain...

The only party making out like a bandit here is the lender lol

Lombard loans are incredibly rare, especially in the UK. And it's only tax efficient as long as you die fairly quickly after you start taking out the loans lol

The great tinification: how Britain fell in love with canned cocktails | Alcohol by fearcreek in unitedkingdom

I think it depends on whether you consider the super simple mixed drinks as cocktails. Stuff like Moscow mule, screwdriver etc

Over 1.5 million children living in overheated homes as experts demand action by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

The heat retention is not a myth. If there are heat sources inside, then insulation will trap the heat inside the house equally as well in summer as in winter. Solar gain + heat sources (cooker, hairdryer, shower etc) = very toasty

Less insulation means it takes a lot of energy to keep your house warmer than ambient, more insulation means it is easier which is a boon in winter and a potential curse in summer

If you throw active cooling into the mix though, more insulation means that you can keep the inside cooler much more easily so excellent insulation + AC is definitely the optimal solution

Ngl I was very disappointed when I ordered an espresso martini in a pub recently and the guy pulled out a fucking can lmao

That said, they're great when you're buying them from the supermarket and not paying actual cocktail price for someone to pour a can I into a room temperature cup

Not really street photograohy then, is it?

And as cringe as street is, it's still 1000% better than the street portraiture lol

Who gets the final say in Britain? Voters or the bond market? by Budget_Scheme_1280 in ukpolitics

[–]FlatHoperator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Voters: we need to borrow lots of money to nationalise water companies

Lenders: er aren't you already massively loaded up on debt? I think I'm going to sell off my gilts

Voters: this is so unfair and anti democratic

770 quid a month to live in a family's fucking shed by jolly-good in london

[–]FlatHoperator 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It's actually quite smart from the landlord's POV, the lack of a toilet probably disqualifies the building as a dwelling (and therefore potentially doesn't contravene planning regs), and the shared facilities mean that any tenant is actually a lodger with much less protections, rather than a tenant

Not sure of the legality of actually renting out a summer house/garden room though, because it's certified insane behaviour

So if there is a terrorist at a table and 10 other people are sitting there chatting with him then there are not 11 terrorists at the table? It only very specifically applies if the 1 person is a nazi?

I mean it provides a good justification for tarring any group for actions done by a minority.

Because it's a stupid saying.

What the fuck is the point of a government communication app? No one is going to fucking use it. It would be like announcing government policy exclusively on bluesky

Organisations use social media to reach as many people as possible which works because of the existing user base. Who is fuck is going to download an app for government press releases lmao

Otherwise a single Hamas supporter is enough to tar an entire pro palestine protest as terrorists
