- Comment on The word Chav is still being used by British people, when it's derogatory shorthand for working class lads and it's not even subtle... 28 minutes ago:
Last word sounds like “track suity-i “ in my head, I was only exposed for 3 years, but I absorbed something too.
- Comment on Opinion: I’ve cycled through red lights. But Britain’s traffic laws are to blame, not me 39 minutes ago:
The article says absolutely nothing, it’s a vacuous drivel talk around the subjects. Pointless
- Comment on Llaneli man reached 140mph to 'get to gym after argument' and hit taxi 20 hours ago:
On the German autobahns there is no speed limit, but there is a convention between car makers that the electronic limiter is set at usually 255kph ~= 155mph. It’s quite common for real fast car owners to have the limiter removed or raised, so getting passed by a Porsche doing 300kph is a real possibility. And amusingly, the winter tyres maximum speed is 210kph. As a UK driver, we have 70mph as max, so it’s mental the first time you drive there.

What about surge discounts during leaks?
- Comment on A customized delivery experience 1 week ago:
In the middle of Covid, this happened
Which when I went to the door, I found this on the mat exactly as it looks here, except I moved it to the sink because it was making a mess.
I never found out which of my neighbours missed their order, because it wasn’t any service I’d ever use, even if ordering a completely non-essential item like this was a waste of resources.
But fuck that guy who ‘delivered’ it by obviously dropping it before in his car and then throwing it on my doorstep!!
- Comment on Number of children injured in e-scooter crashes in England surges 1 week ago:
When enforcement for traffic offences is only speed cameras/cctv /average speed cameras, you can only catch registered vehicles. I see so many illegal e-bikes (don’t need pedalling to power) and e-scooters driven by adults and kids alike, utterly no cops stopping people anywhere.
- Comment on Number of children injured in e-scooter crashes in England surges 1 week ago:
Illegal e-scooters no less. I’m surprised there’s not more stats on pedestrian injured by riders of e-scooters

A buddy of mine had one of these years ago, I really liked it and you’ve reminded me I need to get one from aliexpress. ;)
- Comment on Magic circle: Stonehenge offers lucky visitors 20 minutes alone in monument 3 weeks ago:
To mark the initiative, said to be the first of its kind since admission charges were introduced 125 years ago, the Guardian was granted 20 minutes in the circle on Tuesday morning to sample the solitude.
Maybe 25years ago?
When I was a kid, you could pull over in a layby on the road adjacent the stones and just step onto a path straight to the stones, later there was a small National Trust car park added with a parking fee. Then years later they blocked the road off to protect the stones from traffic exhaust damage, and built up the visitor centre you see today.

- Comment on US airman accused of ‘spree’ of rapes on sleeping women avoided UK courts 3 weeks ago:
No, he was handed to US forces, they court-martialled, acquitted, gave an honourable discharge, he went home to the US. Then only later did the FBI investigate with some additional evidence, and after that was given 5 years and a tracking condition for 20years on release - because of the risk he posed to women!

- Comment on These corpos who feel entitled to Open Source code 5 weeks ago:
The Luddites were members of a 19th-century movement of English textileworkers who were against the usage of certain types of automated machinery owing to their concerns relating to worker pay, child labour, working conditions and output quality. They often destroyed the machines in organised raids.[1][2] Members of the group referred to themselves as Luddites, self-described followers of “Ned Ludd”, a legendary weaver whose name was used as a pseudonym in threatening letters to mill owners and government officials.[3]

I’m sure he’s fine with the racists bringing the English flag into disrepute by tying them up on lampposts here the and everywhere.

- Comment on The Old Car Summertime Struggle 1 month ago:
I had a mk1 mx5 (actually a JDM import eunos) and it was a 1.8L variant and it absolutely could overtake things effectively with the AC on. It was a manual and I absolutely thrashed it. Big grins.

- Comment on Oh that is BRUTAL 2 months ago:
I’ve only ever seen these in restaurant kitchens or street-food vans. By the way people refer to grilled cheese, it’s as if everyone grills at home.
- Comment on Oh that is BRUTAL 2 months ago:
And not on(under) a grill either so the point is moot. Also the ‘toastie’ I’ve mentioned as possibly similar - clearly not similar apart from bread and cheese ingredients.
- Comment on Oh that is BRUTAL 2 months ago:
I least can eat this as often as I want and not expect a heart attack.
- Comment on Oh that is BRUTAL 2 months ago:
Impossible. At least my method for a cheese toastie. (brit engl. possibly similar to grilled cheese) Two pieces of bread in a toaster, toast to preference. Build with slices of cheese (cut from a block, not from packets you monsters!) put this ‘toast cheese sandwich’ in a microwave for 15-20s, Again to taste of how melted you want the cheese. Result; the toast is still crisp because it’s not microwaved long enough to soften, the cheese can be melted less than those horrific toaster iron things, it’s less greasy.

Mine happens to be an epsom ecotank, I’ve found the software ok, no weird behaviour or restrictions and the ink is lasting really well.

Obligatory fuck HP. Also, get an ink tank printer, changed my world for home printing, still only halfway through the first fill, after a couple of years and hundreds of pages.
