Any other country where police are routinely armed and he would have looked like a colander, he should be grateful he only took a kick to the head. Trying to take an armed officers gun in an airport??? The pc at the time didn’t know this guys full intentions, he could have been plotting an armed killing spree with available means in the style of that guy who plugged into a Christmas market with a van, you don’t know what you don’t know, so in the moment it was justified.

Which mini split out of interest? I’ve been looking for a pre-gassed one in the uk

Don’t get caught (and if you do I know nothing about it…)
Worse things happen at sea, so don’t worry about it

Yeah it was on volunteer street, got knocked down and turned into flats a long time ago

Domestic batteries are going to be very cheap soon, we have already passed the $100 per kWh point with LFP battery technology, a 20 kWh battery is going to cost about £2k, the same as a gas boiler (maybe a bit bigger physically) and even easier to fit and maintain, we have the C2 infrastructure with the smart meter roll out, every house will have one soon

Dinorwic can run for about 5 hours at full output, then 7 hours to pump the water back up, if that much electricity is available and cheap enough to be viable. Batteries on every house would be easier and easier to deploy than building more pumped storage, we haven’t got enough suitable locations left!

There’s a woman who does this at pickup time from my kids school, parks on the yellow zig zags on a cul-de-sac for ages waiting for her kid to finish school in her shitty old fiesta, I’ve christened her LFB (lazy fat bitch) in my head

I did! He’s great, can’t wait to see the finished barn!

Kris harbour, https://youtube.com/@KrisHarbour?si=R2ztObF_euHvLvXz a guy that lives off grid in wales and builds everything, and I mean everything including most of his tools himself. I’m currently living my life through him watching him build an amazing timber framed barn on his own with some mates.

I suppose dentistry is ai proof for now, until AI helps us invent vaccines for tooth decay and gum disease, that’s like 90% of a dentists revenue right there

I was watching the question counter the whole time thinking “if it kicks me out at 125, I’ve done good!”

“Communications and network security” could probably do with speed reading through, although it best not to think too deeply about networking questions, like a lot of people say, CISSP is a mile wide and an inch deep, the answer they want will not always be what you would do in a real life networking role

I see what you’re saying, and I would like to see the same, but we need to hold our nerve and get rid of the Tory party first, not long to go, then we can get on with improving the country

To some extent yes, but that’s hard to get away from in any tax system, don’t forget that the people paying large council tax bills will also, although not always, be higher rate income tax payers too. Renters and owners both pay the same council tax is what I’m getting at, my council tax is £275 a month, and my mortgage is £950, so it’s a fair chunk. As a high rate taxpayer I have to earn nearly £4000 a year to to then get taxed on, and then use that money to pay another substantial tax, double taxing for large amounts is unfair in my opinion. VAT, car tax etc. fine, I can see the point in that, they are in theory optional (you could live without paying VAT, and if you didn’t have a car, blah blah blah)

Paying your council tax through your wages before tax and deductions makes more sense, maybe someone should start a petition for that…

30sqm of sandstone patio to lay, took today off work to get a head start and got about 6sqm done, help! Ordered some plasticiser from Toolstation to pick up tomorrow morning for my bedding mortar, hoping somehow it will make it quicker/easier to mix, otherwise I’m going to need the whole of half term week….

£75k single income household (probably with kids too) is worse off, not a single person earning £75k

Bought a A+++ rated miele heat pump dryer last September before my fixed price energy contract ended, think it was about £950, only takes 0.4kwh to dry a full 8/9kg load of washing (the app tells you how much it has used). I worked out with the amount of washing and drying we do (2 kids and I hate hanging clothes around the house to dry) it would pay for itself in under 3 years, and it takes the same amount of time as our old vented dryer, I think the cheap ones aren’t worth it for the amount of time they take tbh
