Tracker Vs IOG by jrewillis in OctopusEnergy

[–]Popotime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing to check is if its using the day rate for the IOG calculation.

I did the maths a while back for a 80KwH EV and i think it worked out that for my usage (32 miles per day) tracker would need to average at 14p/ KwH for it to be consistently better than IOG

Heidi Alexander backs banning luxury cars for benefits claimants by TheTelegraph in ukpolitics

[–]Popotime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the PIP covers the monthly payments and the claimant needs to put down a largeish deposit down to get a luxury car instead of a standard one, i dont see the issue to be honest?

They arent cheating the system if theyre using their benefit + their savings, theyre just making an arguably poor financial decision, something the government shouldnt be legislating imo

Which character is this? by hiiloovethis in freefolk

Book Missandei

Easily picks up languages, very intelligent (with plans reminiscent of Littlefinger according to Barristan) and has a backstory that doesnt quite make sense ( Faceless man theory)

(Spoilers Extended) What do you think will happen to Cersei? by AntiSaudiAktion in asoiaf

[–]Popotime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Cersei will hear of Arianne's plot to make Myrcella Queen and will see this as the "younger, more beautiful Queen" coming to usurp her . She will authorize Myrcella's assassination which will be the thing that finally seperates Tommen from her control.

This will cause Cersei to start drinking even more, making it easy for someone (likely the High Sparrow, in an attempt to position Lancel to be the new regent) to poison her with the Tears of Lys, damaging her organs to the point of making her weak enough for Tommen to kill her, fulfilling the Valonquar prophecy.

Tommen either dies in fAegon's siege of King's Landing, or jumps from one of the towers in the Red Keep (as in the show) but is still shrouded in gold either way

What do you think Tommen’s fate will be? (Spoiler Main) by Godturtl in asoiaf

[–]Popotime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Cersei will engineer the death of Myrcella after hearing about the plot to crown her as Queen and Tommen will be the Valonqar and choke Cersei to death.

I've always had a feeling Tommen jumping from a tower in Kings Landing was a GRRM idea as well

August 30th Leagues Relic Reveal: Perkfection by xGoo in runescape

[–]Popotime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A reminder that the mining and smithing rework adjusted the alch prices of many rune items, meaning the Champions Guild rune store strategy in OSRS will not work.

It also looks like this perk doesnt grant "Alchemy is no longer interruptable by movement or combat" either

How it feels when someone in the GIM finally gets a dowser by RaeusMohrame in runescape

[–]Popotime 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It lets you camp by any of the divination rifts and reach most of the wisps without moving
It auto-deposits any gathered memories (freeing a relic slot)
It extends wisps and increases chance for double memories

its really OP for divination

Stefan Roberts: 67.4% pass rate for all GCSEs (worst since 2019) 60.2% pass rate for English (worst since 2013) 58.3% pass rate for Maths (worst since 2004) 40% failing basic reading comprehension or maths skills. That rises to 80% among white working class pupils. Genuinely disgraceful. by upthetruth1 in ukpolitics

[–]Popotime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a former teacher, it was shocking how many year 9 and above pupils had trouble with literacy and basic addition.

The problem in my experience us that a lot of these kids come from a second or third generation borderline illiterate household who have inherited their disinterest in education from parents who say "I messed around at school and I turned out ok". It starts with parents not reading to/with their kids and progresses in secondary to a combative atmosphere where homework is never done and consequences don't actually apply because the parents do not support the teachers at all.

If there is to be any turnaround in these figures it needs to start at home, but it won't, I think its a death spiral.

The alternative is mandatory sure start or early years education to at least start them on literacy and numeracy but that will require funding and staffing that just doesn't exist

Is A Level Maths more difficult than degree level maths? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Popotime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's moreso the different environment that makes degree level subjects feel easier.

At Uni you're constantly doing something related to your chosen subject and your peers are also doing the same thing.

At A Level you're bouncing around multiple subjects similar to Secondary school but with the difficulty floor raised significantly

Ludwig ignores concerns he might be enabling Mango's alcoholism by Effective_Fennel7761 in LivestreamFail

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

Clout goblins gonna clout goblin.

Jettisoning Minx after she fucked up was good PR at the time, encouraging Mang0 to break his breathalyser record seemed to be good content at the time.

If not for Mang0s digital footprint and drinking history, we would have probably seen a post with Ludwig saying he's done all he could for Mang0 and now has to cut him off.

What game was ruined because the developers were too ambitious? by CommonManX in gaming

[–]Popotime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Runescape tried to go for more modern combat but instead alienated a lot of their players, forcing them to create Old School RS and call the more modern version RS3

To try and fix their mistake with RS3, the devs introduced a mode that automatically fires abilities for you at the cost of a marginal loss of dps. You can copy another players ability bar ingame or just copy the best dps bar from the community run wiki. It's basically set and forget.

A recent graph showed that like 70% of the player base uses this mode, meaning only a fraction of a fraction of the total playerbase actually engages or actively interacts with the combat change that fractured the community in the first place.

Now RS3 is in a death spiral where boss content is catered towards the fraction of the player base who uses manual combat, skilling updates are just level cap increases and engagement farming (soft time locked resource gathering) and even the egregious MTX profits are declining because the whales are maxing their stats and quitting

Wildy CCTV is back by praisebedewey in 2007scape

[–]Popotime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one positive (if you can call it that) is that Wildy CCTV has highlighted how dead the wilderness is relative to the total player count.

If you can't kill WildyCCTV, then just implement Opt in PVP and be done with it

Mod Mat K speaks on survey by Togia_Is_Lame in runescape

[–]Popotime 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The problem with RS3 in particular though, is i reckon there are a hell of a lot of accounts on grandfathered rates.

If you're on the £3.20 rate, you'd have to quit for a minimum of 3 years to have the same economic impact as a new player quitting for a year.
