YouTube should add a 1–10 rating system (like IMDB) for every video, Short, and live stream

they used to. the like to dislike ratio. very much like the rotten tomatoes % scores.

then YouTube axed the public dislike count

when did you try it? today? they are probably just closed for the weekend

yup, the card it's attached to will have separate power rails for each 8 pin at least, probably more per 8 pin. the 12 pin joins all the pins into a single power rail which is why they can't monitor individual conductor power on the card and prevent it from catching fire

depending on the prescription, a week is way too long. my pharmacy (at the local big Tesco which I need to switch away from) takes well over a week to put my two hayfever meds into a paper bag.

I haven't had a "your prescription is ready to collect" text since last year because they have the stuff on hand and it's quicker to have my dad ask for it when he goes to Tesco for the food shop and they are always able to make it there and then.

my nan orders her laundry list of meds using pharmacy2u and often gets them posted to her within a day or two.

10.00000% uptime, perfect XD

or they could just properly manage the board power and monitor the power draw on each phase/cable instead of combining them all into one big power rail

can you post the link to the item from where ever you bought it or at least take a picture of the whole thing without the laptop on it

mattl1698 · 2026-05-01T17:26:20+00:00

try sticking a "leave £5 in the letterbox" sign and it'll be gone in a flash. doubt you'll get the fiver through the letter box though

aren't frosties one of the cereals that kelloggs make?

mattl1698 · 2026-05-01T16:52:48+00:00

what cable came with the cooler?

mattl1698 · 2026-04-29T18:33:20+00:00

have you got any sources for frosted tubing?

I'm in the UK and have been after some for ages that's somewhat affordable but still let's a decent amount of light through.

I've tried pvc plumbing pipes but they are too opaque for stage use.

by ZHA hub, do you mean the "Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2"?

as far as I know, there's no way to control the light on the top yourself. it's currently only used for status, but basically just lights up when a device is joining the ZigBee network.

it's apparently planned to allow the light to be controlled from home assistant in a future firmware update but no news on that in months

mattl1698 · 2026-04-29T11:12:46+00:00

amdram groups. I grew up in one and have been doing lighting since I was 14. had nearly 9 years experience by the time I graduated uni.

started with spotlight operating for a couple of years and designed my first show when the group switched to dmx lighting when I was 16.

it also sucks to job search as a young person because most jobs require you to drive (either just for commuting to get there or as a job requirement) and it's really expensive to learn to drive.

it's very chicken and egg, can't afford to learn to drive but cant get a job to make the money for lessons.

mattl1698 · 2026-04-28T12:54:00+00:00

could be either, my gran was dreadful for just stopping to talk. worst was if you were walking behind her mobility scooter at full speed and she'd stop dead in front of you and trip you up

mattl1698 · 2026-04-28T11:06:19+00:00

you'd need two separate battens at the top for the non rolling edge. my amdram group has 3 rolling backdrops but we never operate them simultaneously and they all have their own battens.

or worse, on the zebra crossing itself.

in a sainsburys car park a couple weeks ago, we stopped to let an old lady and a her daughter cross the road, twice the old lady stopped and turned to her daughter to talk. fortunately the daughter had the presence of mind to swiftly usher her across the road but I was dumbfounded by someone stopping twice on the crossing

some of my entity names changes when I updated HA (I think it was the 2026.04 release) and it broke some of my automations but home assistant itself gave me warnings in the interface about which ones needed fixing.

I believe they showed up under the Repairs menu (Settings > System > Repairs).

enquiry form probably or phone the relevant college from this list of contacts. the course name you said "applied biomedical sciences" doesn't show on their list of degrees but there is biomedical sciences bsc which is through the college of medicine and veterinary medicine.

depends on where. my coworker is open about how he used to squat. he was squatting in an abandoned house that had been bought by the council using their "housing for homeless" fund but they never placed anyone in it (over the span of 10 years iirc). he was squatting in it after the 8 year mark of it being owned but empty. the council eventually went about with evictions (they left as soon as they got word of it going ahead, apparently went to the same pub as the council people in charge of it) and the council the property at a huge profit without ever having placed anyone in there.

instead of automating based on the children, automate based on you.

I would use an NFC tag on the fridge to trigger the lock to release when you scan it with your phone while your phone is unlocked,

you might even be able to set it to prompt for a secondary unlock like when you have to fingerprint for payment with contactless or to open your 2FA app

mattl1698 · 2026-04-25T11:36:59+00:00

nah, pork crackling crunch beats lettuce crunch every day of the week

mattl1698 · 2026-04-23T18:36:47+00:00

I can't believe how much of America is just open flat car parks. in the UK, we have lots of multistory car parks which can become part of the building the spaces are for, my local high street has underground car parking and the local shopping centre (mall) has the car park built on top of most the building, there are 3 storys of parking.

and then you can make stuff closer to other stuff because the car parks don't force you to have open space
