- Comment on Toxic pesticide levels found in tampons 40 times higher than legal limit for water 1 day ago:
The researchers tested 15 boxes of tampons from UK retailers across a range of different popular brands. Glyphosate was found in tampons in one of the boxes, at 0.004 mg/kg.
Okay, but which brand? Why are they not naming them? What is the point of this article if I can’t even take any useful information away from it?

How are you supposed to love in this fucking country? Wages are shit and prices go up for everything all the time. Fuck that
- Comment on Southport attack survivor calls for kitchen knives to be blunt tipped 1 week ago:
Yes, we should also remove the edges from all knives, much safer this way. Probably a bit inconvenient to some chefs but who cares about preparing food right
- Comment on Opinion: Just ignore all the myths about low-traffic neighbourhoods: they’re popular, effective and here to stay 1 week ago:
Yeah, I work somewhere else now and cycle/take the bus but my partner for example has a medical condition that means she has to drive to work.
What I’m mainly annoyed about is how the council have acted. They asked for people’s opinions beforehand, and then decided to go ahead with the scheme anyway. Then they measured air quality in the newly installed LTNs, which was obviously better with no/fewer cars around but have completely ignored how the air quality has gotten dramatically worse in the areas of the city that all the traffic now has to go through. Protests from people living and working in these areas have been ignored.
- Comment on Opinion: Just ignore all the myths about low-traffic neighbourhoods: they’re popular, effective and here to stay 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I do. They’re nice enough in theory, in practice they turn half the city into a gridlocked mess for 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon. It might work better if there was better public transport available but the idiocy of the LTNs here gets especially apparent when you see bus after bus after bus getting stuck in the same massive traffic jam. It’s so obviously not fit for purpose that I can only assume the council members that approved this shit don’t live anywhere near an LTN. Add to that the lies the council have spouted about air quality. A car journey that used to take me 7 minutes now turns into at least 15 with no traffic and into 45-60 minutes during rush hour. It’s absolutely inane

- Comment on Heat pumps to be sold ‘smart-ready’ in plans to save households money 5 weeks ago:
I know, I’m not saying that that makes any sense 😅 just seems to be a common thought here
- Comment on Heat pumps to be sold ‘smart-ready’ in plans to save households money 5 weeks ago:
As long as people think it’s too cold in the UK for them to be working or that you need to insulate your house to a level that’ll make you drown in black mould, I don’t have much hope

- Comment on Vets tell BBC they are under 'consistent pressure' to make money 1 month ago:
Ours is an independent clinic, they’re staffed 24/7 and have always been lovely. Never ask us to come in if they don’t think it’s necessary, ask us to send pics before we come in out of hours so we can potentially avoid the extra fees etc. They’re quite a while away from where we live but we’re happy to travel a bit

On pet insurance?
- Comment on Vets tell BBC they are under 'consistent pressure' to make money 1 month ago:
Okay. We had insurance for our dog and we maxed out the full 15k/year twice. Definitely was worth it
- Comment on Vets tell BBC they are under 'consistent pressure' to make money 1 month ago:
This is sad and scary, and unfortunately very common. Be careful when you go to these big chain referral centres and when a vet asks you how high your insurance cover is

The one brewdog pub we have here is overpriced and not very nice, now I have one less reason to go there

Wikipedia says “70 mm including the legs” btw. So not even close to the size of a rat

Who didn’t say that?

Ah I misunderstood that a fen is actually a thing (non-native speaker here). So I correct my original post to “if you don’t live in a fen”
- Comment on Giant spiders the size of rats making a comeback in UK 9 months ago:
I don’t think you’re likely to ever come across one if you don’t live in a lake, they have only been identified in a handful of places.
