Maugrim posted:Has anyone ever had their smart meter give their supplier an incorrect automatic reading? Weirdly, I'm in the same situation (with octopus). Up until Feb last year I was manually punching in meter readings. Then octopus told me that my house had built in 1st generation smart meters so I stopped. The electricity usage kept ticking over at the normal rate, but it looks like the gas usage dropped considerably. I chalked it up I to a change in circumstances (coming out of winter), but this month the numbers for December said we'd used half the gas we used in Jan. It was higher than Novembers use, so followed the seasonal trend but it just seemed really low compared to the month prior to me switching from manual readings. It's just annoying that Octopus doesn't have more than 12 months of data online for me to compare. The gas data also seems broken as gently caress and doesn't seem to report individual daily use. Edit: they recalculated my direct debit last Feb too (based on 2021 usage) so I've currently got a £300+ credit with them. I've been more economical with the heating this winter but still would have assumed the gas used to heat up the cylinder each day would be the same (unless that's electricity).

big scary monsters posted:Being vegan or vegetarian isn't weird any more and faux meats are starting to get good enough that for some meals you can just swap them in and not really notice. If the number you see on the supermarket shelves compared to just a few years ago is any indication, they're selling pretty well too. If I were in the meat business I'd be getting a little worried, especially since meat is only getting more expensive and the alternatives are getting relatively cheaper. If people start skipping meat one dinner a week that's a nasty hole in the sales for Mr. Best of British Beef. Farmers are definitely aware that meat consumption in Europe is projected to go down by a certain amount over the coming years. It varies quite a bit by type of meat and due to the reasonably slow pace of change combined with current large changes in price means it won't be in the forefront of peoples minds. I reckon the wider agriculture sector her in the UK will probably run into other problems like lack of workers that cause more issues than consumption patterns changing a bit.

Fortunately parliament is a total death trap. Black Rod will easily be able to expell any number of raiders with a series of home-alone-inspired booby traps.

One of the writers of Brass Eye with one of the most smooth-brained takes I've seen in a while https://twitter.com/quantick/status/1612139608296275971?s=20 I will note out that even the Black Book of Communism, which is generally not regarded favourably by actual historians of the communist era, struggles to reach 100 million dead under communism, but Quantick manages to multiply that by at least 20. David Quantick thinks that communism is responsible for the death of somewhere like 2% of all homo sapiens to have ever lived.

Not even 'communism'. Not even 'a book about communism'. A book about the flow of industrial capital in the 18th and 19th century killed billions of people. Now imagine how many trillions the actual flow of industrial capital has killed.

Burger King's Plant-Based Whopper is made by Unilever Meat you just need a farm and a slaughterhouse, both of which are fairly distributed businesses. Vegan meat requires lots of ingredients processed in a factory together with precise, which is not a small scale business in the slightest. Vegan food is a chance for centralisation of meat in similar way to other processed foods from Nestle
