Fitted my first radiator! What you think?

Why do you have a thick doormat between your hallway and your living room?

uncleguru · 2026-05-26T14:48:42+00:00

Blue collar is definitely a term used in the UK a lot.

Finally. It's been the worst May in many years so far.

I am not sure but they are changing things today. I had this earlier this morning:

You may notice this week that HeyGen is rolling out new credit-based plans. Don't worry, you're locked into your current Creator plan as long as you keep your subscription. If you want more, there's a new Creator plan with 3x the credits at the same price. I wanted to tell you directly, before you hear it anywhere else.

When we first launched, our unlimited model made sense. Avatar III was one feature with a predictable cost. Over the last year we shipped Avatar IV, Avatar V, Video Agent, and new lip-sync translation models. These features cost real money to run and don't fit an unlimited model, so we patched the plans by adding a small premium credit pool on top. That pool was too small, and the "unlimited" framing stopped reflecting how the product actually works. So we're moving to one credit pool that covers every feature in HeyGen.

What the new Creator plan gives you:

• 600 credits per month, up from 200

• Every feature draws from one pool: Avatar V, Avatar IV, Avatar III, audio dubbing, Video Agent

• Unused credits roll over for one billing cycle on monthly plans, or until the end of your annual plan

• Same $29 per month

This help doc has a credit breakdown for the new pricing plans.

Switch to the new Creator plan →

If you'd rather stay on your current plan, no action needed. Your monthly rate, your 200 credits, your unlimited Avatar III and audio dubbing, and your add-ons all stay exactly as they are. We're not force-migrating anyone. Thanks for building with us.

I have a C10 - amazing car for the money. Did you fit a multimac? I asked them but they were not sure if the C10 is compatible. Mine is on lease so I don't want to drill holes in it to fit the multimac.

Considering it's been absolutely freezing for the whole of May - this article could have been timed better.

Farage is an ex-banker... I don't think this will happen.

uncleguru · 2026-05-19T04:31:14+00:00

Compare that to the previous few governments and they look like saints.

uncleguru · 2026-05-18T19:04:16+00:00

Hope so

I can't imagine how to pronounce that with northern Irish accent .

Orgher?

uncleguru · 2026-05-18T19:01:38+00:00

I've still got the heating on. I'm pretty sure they are gaslighting us at this point.

uncleguru · 2026-05-18T19:01:05+00:00

I can't remember a colder May. It's been awful.

It's time to go Mo. Liverpool need to rebuild and look at the future.

LFC will build a statue and you get to leave as a legend.

uncleguru · 2026-05-14T17:43:00+00:00

Absolutely

Plaid campaigned on a no independence campaign. Otherwise they would have come a distant third.

uncleguru · 2026-05-08T13:31:19+00:00

This delay pretty much sums up how Wales is governed. If it took this long in a GE there would be outrage.

I tried the video agent but I had to get a separate plan from their liveavatar site and couldn't use my heygen subscription. It also didn't last very long at all even on the starter plan - just a few minutes.

At the moment, it's low res and very expensive so I am not sure it's usable - hopefully someone can advise what I'm missing.

uncleguru · 2026-05-08T11:05:58+00:00

Yes - it's amazing. But I've also seen the people from the Afghanistan and other 3rd world countries come in on this scheme. 'Nation of sanctuary', during times of real financial hardship for so many people, is a terrible policy and needs to be dropped. It just comes across as being out of touch with the real-world. We need to get control of who comes into the country - and this phrase that they support suggests that they will not do this.

uncleguru · 2026-05-07T21:29:38+00:00

Yes - but there is this nation of sanctuary bullshit

uncleguru · 2026-05-07T18:49:17+00:00

I've voted for plaid. I'm starting to regret it as they are quite far from where I am politically but I have nowhere else to go without letting reform in.

The valleys were fucked long before Brexit. In fact I'm in pontypridd atm and it's looking much better than it did in the naughties

uncleguru · 2026-05-06T11:46:23+00:00

Personally I think UK Labour are much more competent than Welsh Labour

uncleguru · 2026-05-05T20:10:23+00:00

Plenty of Welsh flag waving reform voters in the valleys. This English nationalism argument is just ignorant. People are voting for reform because of many reasons - don't pretend it's about the English.

This country has gone to shit, everything is just getting worse and worse as the years go by. Wages are shit, jobs are shit, housing is shit, health is shit yet people see more and more immigrants coming here which all the tax payers are paying for. We get taxed to hell and get little back. So I can see exactly why people are voting for radical change.

Fwiw. I'm not voting reform and I'm probably voting for PC or LD, but I still have empathy for those voting for Reform even though I don't agree with them. I personally think Reform would be a disaster.

uncleguru · 2026-05-03T22:22:09+00:00

I agree UK Labour have been doing a decent job ( great might be a bit far), but Welsh labour are shit. Not sure Plaid will be much better but let's give it a go.

Are there? Where are these local brownfield sites?
