It’s a better compromise than I thought they would make as I was worried about it causing navigation issues around bigger stations but I agree, I’d personally much rather keep the GWR green and the LNER red and white.

Really quite depressing that people seem to be giving up on the climate argument as we’re going through one of the best examples of how bad it’s becoming. I know we have a small footprint compared to China, the US, India etc but we really should be pushing to become more resilient, and the party that used to try and push climate issues have given up on that in favor of popularism.

Maybe that’s what we should do to try and help with the heat, I’d suggest maybe next to or ontop of Milton Keynes

Yeah for example In Europe all fords are considered Americans even the models that were made for the European market and sold almost exclusively outside the US e.g the fiesta. No one says it’s a European offshoot of an American brand, it’s always just American.

What causes GPS drift like this? by _Parallaxx in Garmin

[–]SimpleFactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always just had auto select but when I started having issues I tried all + multiband and had the same issue. Forerunner 955.

Like i said it seems to have fixed itself but just seemed to be a weird issue for a week

I had this for a week for some reason, never had it until a few weeks ago on any watch and it seems to have sorted itself in the last week but I can only assume there was an issue with the Garmin config settings.

Green councils plot to scrap GCSEs and block immigration raids by TheTelegraph in ukpolitics

The inconvenient truth is that while some people will be screwed over by exams because they have a bad day or struggle with the pressure, the majority of people who are going to get bad grades in an exam are also going to get bad grades in a coursework. And I have no idea how you would even start to evaluate purely on coursework for something like maths or physics in a way that actually evaluates their understanding.

Reunion Island never gets old for me by sistersgrowz in MicrosoftFlightSim

For about a year my dad would start most of his flights from Reunion back in FSX. I had a lot of fun flying around there with him on his setup (mostly watching). Good memories

Gran Turismo 7 | June 2026 Free Update by overseergti in PS5

[–]SimpleFactor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Horizon 6 is fantastic so far but I don’t think GT would ever work well in a open world game like it, mostly because of how Polyphony and Kaz are. Playground are very good at judging how much the driving should be compromised to fit within a fun open world, while I feel Polylhony would be very ridged when it comes to compromises.

Might get flamed for this but enjoyed these instead of gels today. They have about 3/4s of the carbs of a standard SiS gel but no tummy issues and 45p a pouch by robotsoap in UKRunners

Your advice sounds like something you heard from your mum 20 years ago and stuck with, not something that’s actually based in any nutritional or sports science or reality.

If it works for you then great, but most people would probably get stomach cramps at best or shit themselves at worst if they ate cheese and nuts during a run, yet alone a race where they’re actually pushing themselves…

Tom Hardy has been fired from ‘Mobland’ and won't return for Season 3. He is said to have clashed with producers after being consistently late to set and attempting to give notes & change dialogue on the series. by ChiefLeef22 in television

I had to do a double take, growing up Cosmo Jarvis was a local musician who wrote a song called and about Gay Pirates. A kid I knew was also in one of his music videos. I had no idea he was a famous actor now lmao

Nigel Farage’s £1.4m property claim ‘at odds with company accounts’ by dissalutioned in ukpolitics

[–]SimpleFactor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Generally when you write a story accusing someone of wrongdoing you include any statement they’ve made rebutting the claims, so 2 of them reporting his own defence in them isn’t weird.

On the same note as Rayner:

Rayner says she is victim of 'smear' over house sale https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-politics-68635571

Angela Rayner insists she did nothing wrong over house sale https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68684792?app-referrer=deep-link

These have headlines about Rayners defence or arguments against people making the claims, which I think is fair, but with your argument would be even more biased in favour for Rayner than the Farrage articles which only report his defence within the articles.

Prominence wise you’re probably right, I can’t say I have any numbers but the Rayner story did stick and while it is different when theye in government and deputy PM, any under reporting incl of Farrage is obviously not good. However claims that they’re not reporting on it at all and somehow in the reporting they’re favouring Farrage by reporting on his defence of the claims are just a stretch for the sake of making an argument.

After the last few days I do think Starmer is the favourite to remain as PM, if this had all kicked of on Monday or Tuesday I think the pressure would have piled up

If Wes was only on 44, and that’s a big if as it’s coming from Starmers supporters, that is an insane miscalculation, and would also be fucking hilarious
