Places with the wireless battery powered payment terminals will still work without power for a while. Lots of them don’t even need network, they just sync up later.
But for the most part, if there is a significant power outage, things are screwed anyway.
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 3 weeks ago:
That’s a cool photo, from 2022 apparently though, not this year.
Give it a couple of months and they can take photos for next year’s drought lead up…
- Comment on Warning RTS electricity meters in 300,000 homes could stop working 4 weeks ago:
… Then the original meter must have been faulty?
All the smart meters do is make it easier to collect the readings (end enable fancy tarrifs)
- Comment on I’m in dire need of a new monitor but, it seems, it is harder to find a good one than I thought. 4 weeks ago:
They also said in their last Q&A that there isn’t a non oped monitor on the market that they can recommend for this use case ☹️
- Comment on 11-year-old boy died cycling home after bus driver "beeped and startled him" before collision — but coroner concludes driving in line with Highway Code 5 weeks ago:
Horns are a hell of a lot louder when you’re not in a vehicle. There is really no such thing as a ‘friendly’ beep.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 month ago:
Build new computer. Old computer to be a home server running Linux or something fancy.

Is there an alternative app that offers a centralised account service but with user hosted servers?
- Comment on Discord heightens ad focus by introducing video ads to mobile apps in June - Ars Technica 2 months ago:
Their problem is probably that they actually took too long to monetise it.
Before Discord, groups were often paying for hosted team speak, ventrillo or mumble servers. Then almond came discord with it’s VC money and did what they did and more for free. Now most people probably are not willing to pay for what used to be a paid service.
- Comment on Major disruption as Heathrow closed all day after nearby fire causes power outage 2 months ago:
That’s going to be chaos for at least a week, (assuming they get power back today!)
Shouldn’t an airport that big have redundant power feeds?
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 2 months ago:
The only problem with the bins that got removed had with wildlife was when wasps nested in them one year. They had sprung loaded flaps
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 2 months ago:
Is only mildly annoying. Lots of people asking where the bins though.
I can see a lot of paper cups being left in tables etc
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 2 months ago:
So only mildly infuriating?

Photo is under the red dot
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 2 months ago:
As in, their reception’s front door has a letter box.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 2 months ago:
They should give me tea in a mug instead of a waxed paper cup (and plastic lid!) then!
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 2 months ago:
This is right by the cafe/site office/car park though. The reception desk is about 20m to the right and staffed during daylight hours year round.
Not like it’s in the middle of nowhere.
I get your point, there are very few bins elsewhere (mostly by the other car parks) and that’s fine. It’s just that the place that gives you rubbish makes it hard to responsibly get rid of it.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 2 months ago:
I think the site office has a post box
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 2 months ago:
No racoons here. The previous bins had spring loaded flaps to keep the animals out.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 2 months ago:
They had some reasonably nice bins with wooden shells around them and spring loaded doors to keep the birds etc out.

- Comment on What does a week of groceries look like to you? 2 months ago:
I tend to spend a weekend cooking and freezing loads, then not really cooking for weeks.
So it’s a massive targeted shop every few weeks to do that, then mostly small trips (often on foot/bike) to the local shops to get milk and any odd things I run out of, or if I feel like mixing dinner up with something else.
- Comment on Bad news for Starlink: Earth’s atmosphere is shrinking 2 months ago:
Doesn’t that just mean that lower orbits can be used? Less air resistance?
- Comment on Thoughts on Old World? 2 months ago:
I might just be bad at it, but all my games ended up being either a boring cake walk, or ridiculously difficult.
Never really got into it.

With the obvious disclaimer that it will hike your electricity bill.
- Comment on Murica 2 months ago:
In nice weather? Pretty good, as long as you are staying the night… And don’t mind being tired… And don’t need to bring much with you… And can wash your clothes there before you cycle back.
- Comment on Why there is no photos of earth from space? 3 months ago:
Ok… I will engage…
Why do they look fake?

FYI the photo on this post is from a bank run in the UK
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Why would they volunteer to do up some land for you to sell for a profit though?
Seems unethical if your not telling them your plan.

Wasn’t there a spare of phone camera stabilisers being broken/worn out because they were strapped to bikes?
