StarkingBarfish posted:I recently got a wee nobsound amp and it's really good. I used it with some new speakers to upgrade an old stereogram to Bluetooth. Puts out a lot of power and it's very low background noise.  I've heard good things in terms of being on the small/cheapish/decent sound/not-cooking-itself quadripoint, but I've had bad experiences with almost every built in bluetooth type sound device* so I'm just going for the lead goes in other leads come out variety. e: *Except like bluetooth headphones where the whole point is to be bluetooth, I mean more like the ones where a bluetooth module was soldered in as a technically available option OwlFancier posted:Wee Nobsound would be a good name for an MP.

Good day for some bad news! Energy bills to rise more than predicted, says Ofgem boss quote:Mr Brearley said in May that a typical household gas and electricity bill on the price cap would increase to £2,800 a year, owing to continued volatility in gas prices. Good thing there's a Tory leadership contest on Next Conservative leader and PM to be unveiled by 5 September quote:Conservative leadership timetable

Can't do a 110 degree scorcher without making their octogenarians worry that there's something to this climate change.

I was in southern France mid June and the first few days the temps were in the mid 40s. (C not F) and mid 30s the rest of the time. When I lived in Cairo the temps for most of the year were in the 30s (rarely went into the 40s - Gulf folk used to come over to Cairo in the hottest part of summer to get cool). Most of the time I was able to be reasonably cool with the shutters closed and two fans. I know UK isn't geared for very high temps but it does seem a bit of a fuss. Now if we want to talk about the utter bone-chilling coldness of a Cairo winter, where your **indoors** is down around to 9-10C, no heaters for many people, where the cold seeps into the walls, furniture, your clothes, that is another matter. (Yes I know 'cold seeping in' isn't exactly a physics explanation but suffices for the description.)

Tarnop posted:He's using their own phrasing against them which will highlight right-wing hypocrisy, a highly successful tactic that definitely doesn't just further culturally embed tory framing of the issue! It also doesn't make sense, because tax cuts don't involve generating more government expenditure, just taking less money from people, so it's very easily rebuffed. There are major issues with tax cuts of course, but that's not what the average person is going to hear.

Convex posted:I would actually like to hear more about this. Assuming you mean why it feels cold? Well properties are not built to keep heat in. There's no such thing as 'cavity walls' or double-glazing (except maybe some very wealthy individuals), and most properties have no heating though I did stay in a flat once that had a weird kind of wood burner which we didn't use (god knows where the smoke went because it was on about the 9th floor of a 15 storey block!) Many windows don't fit properly and let in draughts. In Jan/Feb it is often warmer outside than in. I've friends who live in the Med areas of Spain who say the same and even some Australians say the same. How to stay cool in the heat (lessons learned from hot country living) Keep the curtains, blinds, shutters, windows CLOSED all day (or at least when the sun is pointing at them - eg in my flat, the sun only comes through my windows in mid-late afternoon, but other flats in my block get full on sun all morning and shade in the PM). Two fans - desktop variety pointing at you from two different directions. I find one static and one oscillating works well. Drinking tea can be more refreshing than cold drinks. If your furniture is up to it, rinse out a sheet in cold water and wrap it round you. Also: Check your light bulbs - get rid of halogen bulbs if you still have them - they can literally burn holes in wardrobes - don't ask me how I know... ahem.... some of those tall free-standing lamps with a 'mother and daughter' light use a lot of Watts. I inherited one of my dad when he died, never bothered checking the W until the bulb went and gob-smacked to find out it was 150W. I saved £5 a month on my electricity bill by purely never using it again! Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Jul 11, 2022 |

Guavanaut posted:The UK isn't geared for spending all day indoors with the shutters closed and two fans either. I'm mostly sure that's where a lot of the lazy [Africans/Latins/Mediterraneans] stereotypes come from, because why would anyone stop work for hours in the middle of the day, when it's right in the middle of your workday, unless you are a woke communist who hates work. Work through it. Get woozy at 3pm. Feel like poo poo the next day. Open your blinds at 8am. Get nothing done. Don't like it then leave. It looked more like a very very large tagine (about 1.5m high) with a hole cut in the front! I've googled and can't find anything that looks like it. Ed: Kind of like this (a patio heater according to Amazon) - but it was more bulbous. Like the bastard child of a patio heater and bread oven.

Heat chat: Who else remembers The Hot Summer of 1976? I was a stroppy teen and my folks insisted on me going on holiday with them to a Welsh beach somewhere. I spent the whole holiday in heavy jeans, heavy purple cardigan, reading Dead Souls by Gogol and listening to Night at the Opera by Queen. At the end of the holiday, just before leaving for the 4hr drive home, my dad picked me up (fully dressed) and threw me in the sea. I think he regretted having a very wet, very stroppy teen in the car (with several other siblings) chuntering and complaining all the way home. They never made me go on family holiday again! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_British_Isles_heat_wave The 1976 British Isles heat wave led to the second hottest summer average temperature in the UK since records began. At the same time, the country suffered a severe drought.[2][3] It was one of the driest, sunniest and warmest summers (June/July/August) in the 20th century, although the summer of 1995 is now regarded as the driest. Only a few places registered more than half their average summer rainfall. In the CET record, it was the warmest summer in that series. It was the warmest summer in the Aberdeen area since at least 1864, and the driest summer since 1868 in Glasgow.[4] Heathrow had 16 consecutive days over 30 °C (86 °F) from 23 June to 8 July[5] and for 15 consecutive days from 23 June to 7 July temperatures reached 32.2 °C (90 °F) somewhere in England. Furthermore, five days saw temperatures exceed 35 °C (95 °F). On 28 June, temperatures reached 35.6 °C (96.1 °F) in Southampton, the highest June temperature recorded in the UK. The hottest day of all was 3 July, with temperatures reaching 35.9 °C (96.6 °F) in Cheltenham.

Someone asked me yesterday who is the least worst candidate, and I still don't have an answer for them. I guess it's inconsequential, as you can guarantee that the 150,000 mostly old, white bigots will choose the very worst out of the bunch to lead us for the next two years.
