Workouts this week being 0 doesn’t mean that the data isn’t there, it’s just giving you a summary for the ‘calendar’ week.
You should be able to find the activity still. You should also be able to change when the start of the week is. (It’s an option you see everywhere)
- Comment on Energy regulator Ofgem announces 13% increase for energy bills 5 days ago:
It’s an auction of a commodity, you have to keep paying more until you find someone to provide the last bit. Everyone then gets paid close to that.
The big profits are going to those that invested in renewable energy to be fair though, not to the fossil fuel companies.

- Comment on Why do I constantly see testostorone being put into evreything from pills to candy bars but its illegal for trans men to get it? 2 weeks ago:
Protein powders are meant to be for people that do enough exercise to need it. More sedate people saw all the fit/ripped people eating them and got it I to their heads it was the protein powder doing it, not the exercise… (And the manufacturers started leaning into it)

Didn’t Tesla have to give up on a robot that puts some felt on top of the battery pack because they just couldn’t do it?
Making the robots look human doesn’t solve that.

- Comment on Britain’s Solar Revolution Is Here and We Should Be Shouting It From the Rooftops 5 weeks ago:
Much easier/cheaper to maintain on farmland. Just stop growing stuff for biofuel. (Or grow crops underneath!
- Comment on Why will a cop arrest you if your in a ridable mower going down the street drunk? How is that a DWI when while you may be drunk you will not hurt anyone? 5 weeks ago:
A lawnmower literally has spinning blades on it! Don’t operate while drunk!
- Comment on Travelodge gave stranger key to couple's room 1 month ago:
There was another story recently where someone got sexualy assaulted because they gave some random person their room key.
Continuation from that I assume.
- Comment on Should I use a "proper" password manager instead of Firefox? 2 months ago:
It’s good for some stuff - it means you get strong unique passwords for sites etc.
BUT
The fact it auto completes basically means that if someone gets access to your phone/computer while it’s logged in, they can log into anything. (A password is normally required to actually VIEW them? - maybe not on desktop!)
I use the built in manager for most days to day stuff, but anything financial or non browser based is stored in keepass. It’s a bit annoying, but way more secure that way.

- Comment on World's longest coastal path opens in England to the public 2 months ago:
Apparently Wales already has a complete coastal path, so you have to walk the entirety of Wales before getting to 8!
- Comment on World's longest coastal path opens in England to the public 2 months ago:
It (mostly) gives access between the path and the sea too! Rules are here: gov.uk/…/manage-your-land-on-the-england-coast-pa…

- Comment on Car park firm NCP collapses with nearly 700 jobs at risk 2 months ago:
They didn’t own the car parks, they leased them on long, expensive leases they couldn’t get out of, or sell.

- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 3 months ago:
If, hypothetically, France put a tax on electricity from fast chargers for example - you would be double paying that milage.
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 3 months ago:
I can see that causing a proliferation of illegal GPS jammers.
… And lots of stories about the government having gos trackers in all electric cars
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 3 months ago:
With this, you would potentially be double(or triple if you include road tax itself) dipping on tax though. You would be paying for milage + Irish tax on ‘fuel’ when filling up in Ireland.
With petrol, you would be paying Irish tax filling up & driving there, not both.
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 3 months ago:
What about anyone that drives abroad? You would accrue English road tax for driving on french or Irish roads!

That doesn’t stop them from calling the product “oat milk” though does it?

- Comment on Is My Pub Fucked? 4 months ago:
One nearish me closed overnight after the announcement of the higher tax. Just decided it wasn’t viable.
Don’t think it was that popular to be fair.
- Comment on Tried to carefully install the faucet immediately after gluing and caulking the sink 4 months ago:
Depends on the angle of the flow out of the tap. I switched out a tap with an identical looking replacement, that just had a 20 degree or so andle on the plastic spout bit that made a huge difference.
