Can’t say I’d be delighted about this, but they’ll very quickly leave when the food’s disturbed and wasps - like bees - don’t leave behind diseases or eggs. The same cannot be said for flies - if those were flies I wouldn’t touch anything in the shop.

Remember when you could mix the cake mix off the spoon as a kid? Yeah, the mechanics won’t let me do that.

Subbed. I encourage you, dear reader, to do the same.
- Comment on More people buying electric cars and heat pumps than ever before 1 week ago:
Some people still complain about slow charging on EVs. Most electric cars have no problem getting 3.5 miles per kWh. A standard UK wall plug can safely provide 13A, and while the voltage is notionally 230V it’s actually more than that for most people, but even if we ignore that, 230V × 13A ≈ 3kW, so an overnight charge of, say, eight hours on a standard wall plug gives you 3kW × 8h × 3.5mi/kWh ≈ 84 miles of range for under £5 if you pay 25p/kWh. I’ve said it before; if you can afford an electric car, you can’t afford not to have an one.
Space is the stinker, of course. A lot of people don’t have a spot on their property they can park their car, but for those that do it’s a no-brainer.
Also, heat pumps are basically magic. Why they’re not mandatory on new-builds, I don’t know.

That’s really clever. If you’ve not noticed it yet: if you hold your phone at arms length and blur your vision it looks like a vague blob that doesn’t look like Taylor Swift.

Nice try, but I ain’t Googling that.

Same here. Whether I start the day with a strong mug of coffee, six litres of olive oil, two cartons on concentrated prune juice, or just a simple handful of laxatives pills, the result is always the same.
- Comment on Thing makes noise wallet goes empty 2 weeks ago:
Same in the UK. We have an annual MOT tests and even with that some drivers let their cars slide so much.

- Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 3 weeks ago:
Modern birds are more closely related to tyrannosaurus rex than tyrannosaurus rex was to stegosaurus. Modern birds are, by any reasonable definition, dinosaurs and sometimes they act like it.
Clever girl.

I’ve lived in a few places around the UK and I have never, ever heard of a “cheesy bug”.

100% this. Latency is far more important than bandwidth for most things and I’d much rather have a 50/20 FTTP service than a 300/100 cable or DSL line.
- Comment on If you are too young you really missed out being able to do this 5 weeks ago:
You’re surprisingly wrong. Landlines exist but there is basically nowhere left in the world where landlines outnumber mobiles (except places like North Korea, obvs). Mobile networks are literally cheaper to run than landline networks and that gets more and more true as the quality of infrastructure drops.

I was once in New York using an AT&T payphone and trying to place a reverse-charge (or “international collect”) call to the UK and the operator REFUSED to accept that UK phone numbers are ten digits long. You better believe I put that thing through it’s paces.

- Comment on WaaaaAAALLLEEEeee 5 weeks ago:
They tried doing the same thing in the UK with a comedy duo, Mitchell (PC) and Webb (Mac). They were best known at the time for a Channel 4 show, Peep Show, where Mitchell played an educated, qualified, no-nonsense, go-getting, straight-talking realist who was a bit awkward and frumpy, while Webb played an entitled, self-aggrandising, directionless, scatterbrained half-wit convinced he deserved greatness… I forget where I was going with this.

Once we get the Americans to write the date properly we should probably agree on the symbols we’re using as decimal and thousand delimitation.

Whenever someone tells me they’re trans I always say “don’t fucking talk to me. You’re disgusting.”
In fairness I say that other people too.
