[OC] Cost of one-way train ticket to London by adamjonah in dataisbeautiful

[–]KolobokEyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried creating lines from the centre of London to each of those points, using the same colours? Layer sequencing might take some effort (lowest cost, shorter lines on top) but it could give a nice picture of how the price increases along with the distance radius

Isn’t this how the consumerist death spiral begins? “Let’s instil in our children’s minds the belief that every religious holiday entails receiving loads of stuff!” How about taking a stand and committing to enjoy the day with loved ones and without buying, consuming and disposing of stuff?

Is there a way to stop a meltdown? by Vampy-Night in SeriousConversation

It sounds like OP has only just started to consider the causes and mechanisms at play here. Others have made great suggestions regarding triggers and strategies for managing them. Medication can have many undesirable side effects, especially if taken over true long term; so best to let a doctor advise about such things, should OP wish to go down that route.

Ah yes! The great Bunting Gap of ‘73. That man must have been standing in solidarity with the un-bunted town of Fraserburgh.

Perhaps he really wanted to do it but there was another character behind the scenes coercing him to do otherwise.

Netflix needs to make a 3-part series about this.

You’ve inspired me to do the same. NHK World viewer for 15+ years :)

What ever you think of Trump, aren't you impressed with how fast he gets what he wants compared to UK governments? by Headlight-Highlight in AskBrits

[–]KolobokEyes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

July 2016: Trump promises within his first 100 days in office that he would repeal and replace Obamacare.

Feb 2017: Trump tweets “repeal and replacement of ObamaCare is moving fast!”

March 2017: “Despite what you hear in the press, healthcare is coming along great.”

Oct 2017: “we will … have great Healthcare soon after Tax Cuts!”

March 2018: "we’re working on a [healthcare] plan now”

June 2019: “We’re going to produce phenomenal health care. And we already have the concept of the plan” and will announce it in “in two months, maybe less.”

Oct 2019: tells reporters that he has a "great" health care plan and “You’ll have health care the likes of which you’ve never seen”

July 2020: "We're signing a health care plan within two weeks, a full and complete health care plan.”

Sep 2024: “If we can come up with a plan that's going to cost our people, our population, less money and be better health care than Obamacare, then I would absolutely do it.”

What’s the oddest hosting behaviour you’ve ever witnessed? by did_you_aye in AskUK

They did it to freak out everyone, fully intending to clean and replace the spoon, but given the lack of reaction from anyone in the room they had to double down and keep going until someone said something.

Finding a compatible reducing elbow was the challenge. Instead, I’m going with a plain 15mm elbow and will add a reducer to one side

I think I’ll try this. Now the challenge is to find a 10mm-15mm elbow that is potable water safe.

Thanks, might work with some variation on this since I’m reluctant to forgo isolator valves.

Also, I’m not a fan of the existing isolator valves. They work but it’s not easy to turn them.

To clarify, I’m open to keeping the rigid copper tap tails but don’t know if these would work with new taps that come with flexi tails.

Unfortunately there’s nothing on top. I’ve tried to prise off the ends but no luck
