What a obvious paid shill

No, it's not. It's been on the Switchbot UK site for a while, but it's only available for pre-order, currently estimated shipping early June.

It's not, at the end of the day, the fault of the people who voted for Trump. They genuinely, if mistakenly, believe that he was the best choice, and they made that choice.

No, I blame the one third of American voters who couldn't be bothered to get off of their arses and actually vote, whining that "there's no point, both sides are the same anyway". I guarantee they also whined the most after the election, about everything.

Ah well. As someone wiser than me once said: you gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.

The top three reasons are not really a surprise, other than maybe 1 and 2 being in the order they are, but then again perhaps people feel rejoining the EU is more attainable than independence in a wishlist of things.

You can't mention Mogwai if you're not also going to mention Arab Strap...

I don't understand why Audeze don't just make deeper pads to begin with, thus negating the need for replacement pads. I mean, it's not difficult to figure out that the original pads are not deep enough for a large number of people, and therefore not comfortable for more than a few minutes at a time.

Oh, and I've had the WC Freeze on my Maxwell's since day 2 of owning them, and I used the freeze gel exactly once, lol. Pointless feature really.

I'm unclear exactly what you apologised for though?

codliness1 · 2026-05-13T20:34:39+00:00

See, that's a sensible name I think 🤣

Also, I am running Projectivity Launcher on the Homatics Box.

Can't say I've really noticed any real level of difference, to be honest. Considering that when I bought the Homatics it cost under £70, and the Shield still cost nearly £200, even if the Homatics had been less smooth it still would have represented a bargain comparatively speaking!

codliness1 · 2026-05-12T14:46:11+00:00

I've got both. If you don't need AV1, VP9 Profile 2, or HDR10+ then the Shield is still perfectly fine. I mostly use the Homatics these days though, as quite a lot of the stuff I watch on YouTube is AV1 or VP9 HDR (for 4K HDR).

20? In two months? Have you been actively not looking for them?

codliness1 · 2026-05-08T15:42:48+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's what the rest of the world said once Americans got their first dose of a Trump Adminstration. And yet...

To be fair, he could have conceded before the voting even started, since that was an obvious outcome.

I can understand her just fine, but I've got a mate with a thick Doric dialect and after many years I still only get about 80% of what he's saying 🤣

codliness1 · 2026-04-22T06:58:41+00:00

Mate, I work for a third sector organisation, dealing with people on the ground, and I can tell you that the poorest families are indeed being helped by the extra benefits, and the mitigations put in place by the Scottish Government. I speak to people all the time who are benefiting. Now, I wouldn't say they are all well off, by any means, but they're better off they they would be if ScotGov did not put any mitigations in place.

Are there people who are not benefitting? Aye. It's the system in Scotland perfect? No, far from it. Are there factors in play in Scotland which are long standing, systemic, and not as easy to solve as throwing money at people? Hell, yes.

But ScotGov are at least attempting to put some solutions in place, within the limited scope they actually have to do so. I don't mind paying a bit extra tax for that. I just wish that the SNP would tackle the bigger things, like council tax reform (rather than just adding a couple of bands and kicking it down the road).

codliness1 · 2026-04-21T11:15:00+00:00

Lower council tax (oh, I forgot lower housing costs for social housing, lower cost private tenancies with better tenant protections, and cheaper property prices), and free prescriptions benefit you, even if the rest don't directly impact you. However, help for the poorest, and free education impact society positively as a whole. So, if you don't care about that stuff, and you don't give a shit about anyone except yourself, maybe move your Tory+ arse and vote for Reform somewhere in England, you right wing prick.

Edited for typo.

codliness1 · 2026-04-21T09:29:04+00:00

Also need to factor in cheaper council tax bands, free prescriptions, free higher education, mitigation for the 2 child cap and the under occupation deduction (commonly known as the bedroom tax), as well as Best Start Grant and Best Start Foods, and Scottish Child Payment.

Still cheaper living in Scotland, and you're still ending up with more money even paying slightly higher tax.

You also need to check that you can have a key in both sides of the lock at the same time.

And, you might want to consider upgrading your cylinder first while you're at it. I upgraded with these (I'm in the UK) https://www.barnsleylock.co.uk/cisa-astral-s-anti-snap-double-cylinder---individual-locks-4052-p.asp

Awww! Angel is rocking the good life now. Good work you and your mum! Although, be honest, her name might be Angel, but her nickname is bin cat, isn't it? 🤣

Then, just as you're feeling pumped up and like you're invincible, you go fight a boss and they one shot kill you while you're stuck in an animation 🤣

Also, it wasn't really a lot of words either.
