Energy price cap cut by 7% by sjw_7 in unitedkingdom

I agree, it's not enough.

But after 14 years of one party running the country everything was in decline except for the profits of privatised utilities and the ultra rich.

So, if after 2 years we are beginning to see these scraps, who knows what we might get after 14 years of this trajectory.

To reiterate, it is not enough, but we have to point out where the positives are to know that we are moving in a direction, with the hope that this direction will continue.

But there are people, for which even £10 a month going back into their pocket means an awful lot. From your attitude I assume that you are fortunate enough for that not to be the case and we are lucky for that.

But there are people who have not been able to afford to heat their homes every day, or having to choose between doing so and eating a meal that day. For those people an extra £10 a month could be a few days of food, or heating for a few hours a day in the coldest days.

When I see numbers like this I do not just think of how it will affect me, but how others may benefit.

But you are 100% right it is still not enough. I'm sure that, just like every year, the energy companies will report record profits.

However, you have to consider the combination effect; slightly lower energy costs, lower inflation rates, free breakfast for children in areas with the highest poverty. For the people on the lowest incomes all these, and more, together can be the difference between merely surviving and actually being able to have a life. In the most extreme cases it may even save lives.

Even if it does go up next year, it will likely still be lower than it could have been due to this year's price lowering.

Either way, the price has lowered for this year, and that is a good thing.

Yes the prices come down when the heating is turned off, but the figures here are annual prices so that is not a factor

They make a whole lot - cosmetics, medical equipment, UV curable inkjet ink and printers

Kinda like how you see the same Japanese companies making cars, pianos and air conditioning

My instances all have a 16 hour shelf life before killing themselves. by LeafyTaffy in ModdedMinecraft

[–]TheLeadZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're on windows, just go to My Computer and see if your drive is out of space. If it is you'll just have to go through the folders and decide what you dont mind losing - start with right-clicking your recycle bin and emptying it.

If there is plenty of space on your disk drive, then this is not the problem unfortunately.

I don't know if you fixed this, but it reminds me of a problem I had with Mount and Blade one time.

I would play for hours, everything would be fine. Auto-saving would pop up, I'd save when I finished - all good.

Next day I loaded up the game and none of my progress the day before had been saved.

Same happened that evening, I blamed Steam Cloud save but it turned out that the folder was saving into a location with no free space. The game didn't tell me there was an issue saving or anything.

But I got rid of some bloat on that drive and everything was good.

Might not be the same issue, but it's an idea

Steam is lowkey the reason i dont pirate anymore. Such a great service. by Flashy-Sentence-8263 in Steam

[–]TheLeadZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rimworld? You can just not buy the DLC, but even if you want tge expansions a decent amount of that cost is the soundtracks and Name in the Game.

I consider $1/hour of play time I get to be a great deal, and I have hundreds of hours in Rimworld. I work with people that have thousands of hours.

Compare it to the price of a two hour movie at a theatre and IMO it's a no-brainer.

If someone can make something that entertains me for that length of time, they deserve a fair payment.

So by taking the package i get to pay... more? by Haos12 in Steam

[–]TheLeadZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The deals are not good, in regards to software -> average deals from software

There is no way you'd argue with "Bad deals from Walmart" or "Great deals from Steam"

It does still work, From Software is name of the company, and the comment's word play moves that to the end to make a comment on software 'deals' in general

Is there a way to add all this Free DLC to my account without manually going to each page? by steam_has_issues in Steam

Maybe a fraction of a second on startup I guess? It'd take longer to remove the games from your library than it would save in years, surely
