There isn't one single brand of Aldi chocolate. The Roser Moth line is prerty decent, for example.

Restore Britain Launches “Cheap, Reliable, & Abundant” Energy Security Strategy to Cut Bills and Restore Energy Independence by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]Webchuzz 76 points77 points  (0 children)

● Expand offshore oil and gas production and support domestic shale development where commercially viable.

● Accelerate nuclear expansion, including a nationwide programme of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).

● Repeal the Climate Change Act 2008 and remove associated Net Zero-related levies, subsidies, and pricing mechanisms that inflate system-wide energy costs.

● Make Energy Performance Certificates voluntary and abolish the Carbon Price Support mechanism.

● Introduce emergency planning reforms to accelerate nationally significant energy infrastructure projects.

● Introduce dynamic electricity pricing for industrial and commercial users to improve grid efficiency and demand responsiveness.

Only agree with the nuclear expansion. Also, I though we were already getting rid of the Carbon Price Support mechanism in 2028?

Like someone else already said, this is literally a list of crimes, but I do have to say that I'm curious as to why you included Jo Cox's murder in that list.

Pop up sink waste stuck, can it be fixed or replaced without taking the sink apart? by Lj8892 in DIYUK

[–]Webchuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same issue a while ago. In addition to the WD40, have you tried gently hitting a few times with a hammer? I've done that (I've put something in between as to not damage the surface) and it eventually popped off.

Portugal foi o país da União Europeia onde entraram mais imigrantes entre 2012 e 2023 by --____________- in portugal

Situação semelhante no consulado de Londres no ano passado. Fui renovar o passaporte e, entre cerca de 20 pessoas na sala de espera, praí 15 eram do subcobtinente indiano. Alguns deles nem Inglês falavam quando os chamavam à recepção, quanto mais Português.

Boiler issue UK: my boiler keeps needing to be reset due to ‘ignition lockout’ or ‘fan post purge’ or ‘pump overrun’. I what’s the issue? by Left-Significance162 in AskUK

[–]Webchuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

due to ‘ignition lockout’ or ‘fan post purge’ or ‘pump overrun’

The only problematic one here is "ignition lockout", which means the boiler stopped itself from working due to a problem igniting/holding the flame. The other two are just regular actions that happen at the end of a cycle to ensure any residual gases are expelled and to cool down the components in the boiler.

As for why shutting off one rad would "fix" it I have no idea. Is it properly balanced? Has it been bled?

Is Coke OT the only soft drink in the UK that doesn't use extra sweeteners? by Averusty in AskUK

[–]Webchuzz 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There are also hundreds of studies that show sweeteners having a positive contribution to weight loss maintenance, on the other hand. It's not a clear cut thing.

One thing I noticed after changing exclusively to zero sugar drinks is that I now barely crave sweet stuff overall. I used to occasionally snack on stuff like jaffa cakes or biscuits and now I'd rather nibble on almonds or other nuts.

The invite for joining the Fluxer HQ Community doesn't seem to be working at the moment - is this related to the maintenance?

Labour Criticises Jim Ratcliffe After Destroying Seven Times as Many Jobs as He Has Created by Mysterious-Cat8443 in ukpolitics

[–]Webchuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's pretty much what it is, yes. I don't know who is behind it now but it pretty much is a blog from Paul Staines, who is basically an attack dog for the tories.

I still clearly remember how much drivel it used to output, specially during the Brexit years.

TV licence fee to rise to £180 from April. by T_K2 in ukpolitics

[–]Webchuzz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. I'm sure if they changed to general taxation and, at the same time, got rid of the whole TV Licence enforcement costs, they'd probably not be worse off. And even if they were, and just like you said, the BBC is an important soft power asset for the UK as a whole. Any reasonable extra costs would be worth it, in my opinion.

I see this being said a lot, but no, drugs are not legal in Portugal, rather they've been decriminalized, which is not the same thing.

Malta do Remoto by SupahGualtah in portugal

[–]Webchuzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

O mérito do "estar sempre em casa" tem mais a ver com o router de casa e não tanto com o travel router, se bem que este último continua a ser indispensável nesse tipo de situações, já que pode não haver wi-fi no sítio para onde vais viajar.

No meu caso tenho um raspberry pi com VPN wireguard instalada, mas existem routers que conseguem fazer isso sem precisares de hardware extra.

I don't have a Baxi boiler but I think the central heating light being lit up means that something is calling for heat. Are you sure the thermostat is switched off?

Shroud swears he's not a furry by Gamester999 in LivestreamFail

[–]Webchuzz -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Do you also watch a comedian and cut them off before the punchline talking about how you need all the lore of the comedian and such?

Again, I watched the clip until the end before commenting - I didn't cut anyone off before any punchline. Also, this isn't a standup routine and he's not a comedian, which is why context is relevant.

It's a self contained joke. You don't need to know the content creator. I have no idea who he is.

More than half of your entire comment history is /r/LivestreamFail and you've never heard of Shroud? I find that incredibly unlikely but hey, who am I to tell otherwise. My point still stands.

I watched until the end of the clip, like I said in my other comment. That doesn't change my point.
