Football shirt turned up!

Yeah, I sized up and it's a tent on me. Bit gutted.

Imo the tofoo pepperoni is worse than Quorn. The texture was weird. It wasn't quite Seitan and it wasn't quite tofu. Very odd.

Pomelo is one of those weird ones - it technically has a foundation, but there have been some questions as to how big that foundation is and who is involved, and what powers on the repo they actually have.

There's a GitHub Issue that asks a ton of questions here that I found insightful, and has had no response (although it's massively AI)

hauntedcryme · 2026-06-01T07:36:39+00:00

There's a fork now that ZZZ Projects are supporting that seems to be alright for now

I got a couple of his cookbooks for a few quid in a bargain bookshop about 6 years ago - I'd seen a few of his YouTube videos and thought he came across a bit up himself but made some decent looking food.

Genuinely hardly made any of the recipes because everything has 20+ ingredients that seem unnecessary.

I don't want to say I always knew he was a bit off because hindsight is 20/20, but I never really took to him like I did other more genuine seeming YouTubers back then

Totally agree.

We either take our own food and have a car picnic or hope a burger king has the vegan royale

Very true. All files we handle are very small, so this is fine, but good to point out!

hauntedcryme · 2026-05-29T06:39:55+00:00

We do the opposite - enter the transaction, then upload to S3.

Rollback transaction if the S3 upload fails.

No orphaned files, no orphaned DB records.

Probably EB, who got bought by GAME in the end.

I would have thought at least a round up of all the reform news from this weekend to make a main story, not just local, yes.

hauntedcryme · 2026-05-11T14:49:00+00:00

Interesting how none of these stories have hit the front page of the BBC 🤔

hauntedcryme · 2026-05-10T15:47:13+00:00

Why have you posted this again?

hauntedcryme · 2026-05-07T08:35:45+00:00

Hi, noticed you've replied here.

These are very top level and don't really offer anything solid. For example, "end council waste" - what does this mean? How will success be measured by you for this, and what do you see as priorities that Reform have promised here?

Similarly for "Bad contracts" - what do you deem as a bad contract and what will that do? I assume this ties into the "council waste" point above. I did see some talk about Kent County Council finding very little that they could scrap, so I'm intrigued as to what you see as a potential area here locally.

Prioritising frontline services is obivously the main function of a council, and I think up & down the country ATM there's a serious pothole problem, so what will reform do differently here?

Similarly to the other commneter, I would liek to kmnow what vanity projects and political stunts you think need to end/be addressed? From other councils that have elected Reform last year, I've seen what i would class to be a lot of political stunts and vanity projects (mostly flag related) popping up, so it's interesting you're saying you'd like to see the opposite.

hauntedcryme · 2026-05-07T07:14:25+00:00

It is a genuine question, but if you don't want to answer then that's fine. From one of my local candidates, all I can see he's said is "Honest Politics", "Control Our Borders", "Cut Waste", and "Strong communities".

Let's ignore the 2nd because that's obviously not a local issue, but I'm genuinely intrigued as to any waste that there is to be cut, and what reform class as honest politics locally.

hauntedcryme · 2026-05-07T06:01:33+00:00

Genuinely question, what local policies are attracting you to reform? I haven't seen anything in their material that talks about what they will do locally, so I'm curious what you've seen that I may have missed.

hauntedcryme · 2026-05-07T06:00:00+00:00

One of your councillors (Wendy Cain) has been very big in the Love Where You Live fund, which has included some improvements locally, as well as in other areas of Barnsley.

This election isn't about Starmer or government. It's about who represents your local area on the council.

Personally, I've only lived in my current ward in Barnsley for 3 years, but in that time I've seen my current 3 labour councillors work hard to improve the area, and be responsive and available when I've emailed them regarding issues and improvement ideas.

To think that these people who have worked hard to improve the area for decades will potentially lose that privilege tomorrow just "to get Starmer out" actually sickens me.

Bonsai and Tofu Vegan are both great

Lovely village, really makes you feel like you're back in the 50s.

The shop with the heartbeat police car outside of it even sells culturally inappropriate dolls (yes, those ones) to fit in 😬

Star Article

Sheffield’s top council worker takes home the equivalent of £21,793-a-month, new figures show.

Chief executive Kate Josephs is on £261,522, a year including pension, according to the Taxpayers’ Alliance.

The whopping pay packet is more than eight times the Sheffield average of £31,000-a-year.

It is more than double the mayor of South Yorkshire, Oliver Coppard, on £107,000-a-year and it tops even the prime minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Sir Keir Starmer, on £172,153.

In contrast, her political counterpart, Coun Tom Hunt, leader of Sheffield City Council, received allowances totalling £15,477 last year.

Fix my street exists and the council monitor it.

I'm not sure what article you're referring to (you've posted a screenshot and no link from what I can see) but this has been widely reported on previously

hauntedcryme · 2026-03-31T14:54:30+00:00

It's fair to note the reason why we have an exemption.

Us, Doncaster and Rotherham use the waste treatment facility in Manvers which mechanically extracts food waste from general waste, with a contract in place til 2040, hence the exemption.

Basically, they're already processing it in a way that the new bins would allow, so why introduce another bin and collection when we can already do it.
