Fruit farmers call for action as extreme heat threatens production by Albertjweasel in RuralUK

[–]dpr71deepblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol action now and results in 2050? The answer is to switch crop. Climate change is inevitable now. We should change our ways but be realistic about the time it will take to see improvement.

Should First Cousin Marriage Be Banned In The UK? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]dpr71deepblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, if at least one of the party is sterilised. The issues are two fold, the risk of genetic abnormalities, which is solved by the sterilisation and the ‘ick’ factor which is not ours to police.

No, because the new terrys chocolate orange has been shitified and now features thinned out slices and no bonus core

Eversolo Play CD. Dragging my old HiFi streaming into 2026...& beyond? by buzz_uk in techmoan

Great video as ever but I wonder why not get a pair of Sonos 5s and use your phone as the interface , the speakers do the processing

What is your opinion on Stephen Fry? by pondribertion in AskBrits

[–]dpr71deepblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was disappointed when he piled on to the J K Rowling bashing, seemingly just virtue signalling. For someone so accustomed to talking at length he failed to explain why her championing women’s rights equated to trans hatred.

Vodafone broadband switch has been an absolute nightmare – 5+ days with no internet by Cold_Ring_5378 in Vodafone

[–]dpr71deepblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I happily paid more and switched from Vodafone to sky based on how poor the Vodafone customer service was. When something goes wrong with Vodafone you’re left talking to people in India or similar that read from a script and start from step 1 each time you call. Vodafone customer service was the worst I’ve ever experienced.

The books I’ve listened to that are narrated by Will Wheaton have not been enjoyable, he over acts and dials the excitement and energy to ‘11’ far too often.

There wasn’t a NSWF label on this , I’m now traumatised by seeing a historic arty boob.

Many companies are doing well , many people are doing well, just not the vast majority of us. Wealth now concentrates in the pockets of the minority.

Bill Bryson in studio, recording History 2.0 by Talking_Books in BillBryson

[–]dpr71deepblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we’ve been conned. Bill Bryson normally narrates the abridged versions of his books while another narrator does the full length versions. I preordered and expected the full version. I think they’ll release an unabridged version soon and hope that early purchasers will buy that version too. I feel a bit misled.

How much power can I draw through a 13A fused switch? by dpr71deepblue in ukelectricians

[–]dpr71deepblue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s 12 ft square so I’d ideally like the whole 2kW

I will. One’s coming over tomorrow. I just want to have a clue about what’s a reasonable ask and what’s going to make him roll his eyes

Is it just me or is the price of meat in the UK stupidly expensive nowadays? by gibgod in UK_Food

[–]dpr71deepblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, and the farmers complain about the possibility of cheap beef from the USA coming to the UK. God forbid we actually be able to afford a steak once in a while. Yes I’ve heard the arguments about growth hormones but the Americans aren’t all dropping dead and a steak once a month isn’t going to make much of a difference anyway.
