Yeh, see how Brakspears did after they moved their brewery…
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago:
What about anyone that drives abroad? You would accrue English road tax for driving on french or Irish roads!

Everyone was dead there, hopefully as people seem to be alive here it might be more… Alive.
- Comment on Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to market plant-based products in UK 4 weeks ago:
That doesn’t stop them from calling the product “oat milk” though does it?

Nepal or something wasn’t it?
- Comment on Is My Pub Fucked? 1 month 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 1 month 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.
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 2 months ago:
I don’t think rice requires water? It just tolerates it fine, so it’s useful for pest/weed control?

If you have a gyroscopic controller, you can use it like a steering wheel too!

Also - close your eyes if you are about to crash or spin!
… I should try it out again, see if there are enough games out there to make valves new headset worth it.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses a GOTY award over use of gen AI 2 months ago:
E33 wasn’t advertised, it was a slow burn of purchases.
Do we know their sales figures?
- Comment on Latitudes 2 months ago:
I know it’s mentioned in the book ‘a thousand years of annoying the french’, along with all of their other British related colonial mishaps. Great read!
- Comment on Is there a uBlock Origin filter or extension for LLM slop in search results 2 months ago:
YouTube has a great algorithm, in that it mostly seems to show you stuff you actually want to watch, and let’s you say you don’t like stuff.
You can train it with a little effort to show you what you want.
You just can’t make the shorts go away, even with premium!
- Comment on Bread mold 2 months ago:
Often because there are breadcrumbs etc in there, or other contaminants.
If it’s gone fully mouldy, bin it obviously.
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 2 months ago:
It’s now a requirement to be able to book appointments online I believe?
- Comment on Bread mold 2 months ago:
I thought that jams were so sugary it was probably fine?
- Comment on 3 months ago:
My point was basically that this can happen to you too, and if it couldn’t, people would complain anyway.
No need to call people morons over it.

It’s not that it can’t be done then, most likely no one has checked.
Buying out solo deved apps to host malware has been a thing for ages.

Why can’t Firefox be effected by this?
Does chrome not ask about plugins requesting new permissions or something?
- Comment on 3 months ago:
Either a browser is bad because it doesn’t allow extensions… Or it bad because it does and lets users install insecure stuff… Or it’s bad because it locks the extensions down so much you can’t do anything useful with them.
Which type of bad are you shilling for?

- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 3 months ago:
The government knows who you are. They know your age, your address and know you exist (probably).
You go to a site that requires ages verification. You say:please verify me with the government portal. You go to that portal to get a temporary id code to give to the site. The website says to the gov portal give me the name and age of the user with this temp ID. You approve that access. Portal sends age (or an issue over 16/18/21 etc flag) to the site.
Gov portal doesn’t need to know who the site is You don’t provide a unique ID to the website, just a temporary one. Site only gets the data you approve.
The process can do with some streamlining, busy should work in practice?

I once went to a store and they had put the pins for their security tags through the shells of their expensive waterproof coats…

Even the paper ones often use plastics in the glue apparently?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
And we recently discovered a clump of dark matter big enough to form a gravitational lens - we could actually see it curving light.
This helps show that dark matter isn’t evenly distributed, it’s not that we just need to add a multiplier to some equation; it’s something that ‘exists’.
