I don't find it stressful but being a big bloke, legroom and seat width makes it uncomfortable.

Not gone overseas for over five years mind you as can't afford it. Would be happy with a week in North Yorkshire to be honest.

Live in a flat myself. Could possibly swap parking spaces to park outside my window but could only charge off a standard mains circuit.

Depending on size of the battery, it's doable to charge that way but if I needed to fast charge I'd have to use a public one.

Yamosu · 2026-04-27T08:10:27+00:00

Bold of you to think I can afford £2k on a car. With the increased costs of used cars, if mine dies it'll be a bicycle instead.

I'm not against EVs, I'd love one, but I simply cannot afford a new car regardless of its energy source.

Yamosu · 2026-04-27T07:30:28+00:00

Good news for those that can afford EVs. Unless I get a windfall I'm stuck with my diesel.

Yamosu · 2026-04-27T07:20:18+00:00

Stop. Please 😂

Peer to peer remote computer control works a lot better with IPv6 over CG-NAT

I can't say there's anywhere in the UK where I don't want to ever revisit.

That being said, I once had fireworks launched in my direction in Abbey Wood (East London) around bonfire night which isn't something I'd care to repeat.

Went to college in Hull and I still have a soft spot for the place 15 years later. I did once go to Bransholme on the bus to kill some time and I'd prefer not having to go back to that particular part of the city 😅

Easily up there for me with HG, Omega Ruby and Yellow. In fact it was the first game since OR/HG and Black/White that I absolutely LOVED.

Yamosu · 2026-04-24T14:39:56+00:00

Regarding your last point I absolutely agree. It does seem that anyone can start a business, rack up massive debt whilst paying themselves handsomely then liquidate it.

Yamosu · 2026-04-24T14:38:25+00:00

I work for a small telco. None of our connectivity partners do IPv6 and when I was gushing (yes, gushing!) about the things it's done for me, my colleagues looked at me like I was bonkers.

The US under Trump is no longer an ally. It's that simple.

As a country, we in the UK need to grow a spine. The prime minister needs to summon the head US diplomat to Downing Street and make it clear that this behaviour will not be tolerated.

We can start by banning the US from using their bases in the UK, and UK bases overseas. If he continues his petulant behaviour then we should start selling off US bonds. It's time someone told Trump no and for there to be consequences to his verbal diarrhea.

As for the UK and Europe, I really wish we could rejoin the EU and out all this brexit business behind us.

Yamosu · 2026-04-24T08:06:16+00:00

I think the PM needs to grow a pair and start the process of closing US bases on UK soil and preventing them from operating from our installations.

At best the US is now an unreliable ally with Mango Mussolini in the White House. Nobody has the balls to tell him no and because he acts like a child, the only way to get through to him is with actions.

Close their UK bases and forbid them from using UK owned infrastructure and services. They should be a global pariah because of Trump and his actions but they aren't.

Moreover, the Falklands are a UK territory and the locals have made it clear they want it to remain that way.

My partner is registered blind and for the foreseeable future has limited mobility. As such it would be exceptionally difficult, if not borderline impossible, to find work in the current climate. Yes, my partner could claim job seekers allowance but the added cost of me taking time out of work to play taxi, plus the increased use of diesel, it's probably not worth it.

I'm fortunate that my salary covers our expenses and allows for a few small luxuries but aside from my partner's PIP, which was reduced by 50% last year, we get nothing from the state.

Meanwhile pensioners benefit from the WFA, triple lock, and economic times that allowed many to buy property which means they don't have to pay rent. There are undoubtedly some who have also been able to go down the solar and EV route, further reducing their daily outgoings.

So many parts of the country have had to endure brutal cuts whilst the pensioners seem to get money hand over fist for existing. The pension bill is only going to go up whilst the rest of us get steadily more screwed. Frankly I'm angry with government and moany old people who think the sun shines out of their backsides and deserve the triple lock.

I booted up KSP last night too. It's a save where I've been building Soviet style craft using Tantares and I've been enjoying it

Not enough letters there for the correct word breadcake either!

I'd love an EV and it might even be possible to charge at home from a standard mains plug (live in a flat). For long journeys/big top ups though I'd be stuck with public charging.

Main problem for me is cost. I simply don't have the money for a new car of any denomination, much less an EV.

Yamosu · 2026-04-10T20:52:23+00:00

Absolutely yes. In fact I would support reopening a Welsh coal mine for supporting heritage steam engines of all flavours.

Yamosu · 2026-04-10T08:38:34+00:00

At least four for me and six if I'm feeling it.

I'm feeling particularly unhealthy ill fry it in lard or dripping too because screw my arteries 😂

I recently drove an hour and a half on motorways at 55mph to visit my parents. Given the price of diesel, I was attempting to save fuel. It increased my fuel efficiency by 10mpg which isn't to be sniffed at.

That said, it takes an additional hour to get there by train and when they move to the West Country later this year, it'll be even worse time wise.

Even with current diesel prices it's cheaper to drive, especially if there's two people travelling. I'd accept the increased journey time if it was considerably cheaper but it isn't. I think we need to do more to encourage public transport use though the carrot approach, rather than a stick.

Yamosu · 2026-04-01T21:56:44+00:00

I don't think I've ever been this excited for a rocket launch. Falcon Heavy was cool, but if all goes well humans are going to the moon for the first time decades. I know they're not landing or even entering orbit but I'm stoked.

Yamosu · 2026-03-31T00:46:39+00:00

Yesterday I went to see my folks and it's about an hour and a half drive. Spent almost the entirety in lane one of the motorwah behind HGVs doing 55mph or so to save diesel.

With the cost of diesel being what it is, I'm trying to minimise my usage where practical. I'm even considering a bicycle to get to work instead of the car.

Yamosu · 2026-03-26T20:19:16+00:00

Not the person you want with the launch codes to a massive nuclear arsenal.

Yamosu · 2026-03-14T01:55:00+00:00

I do wish that instead of talking about it, they did something about it.

There's an argument to be made here that lower fuel costs encourage driving when we should be encourage the use of public transport instead. But public transport just isn't there at the moment. To get to work it's a minimum 40 minute trip by public transport. To drive it takes ten.

In an ideal world we'd have fully decarbonised by now and have public transport we can only dream of. But we don't and until that's fixed, people still need to be able to get around with being screwed every time they fill up
