0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

"came back with no kidneys" is definitely the way I would say "had one kidney removed"

Sorry but "no kidneys" is 100% correct as if you only have one kidney then the plural is inappropriate.

"I have one kidneys." Deranged etc.

Another example of imagine if Jumbly Crumbly had tweeted this.

Not even to say they're wrong - half the reason the Taliban's return to fascism has been so heavy is because of the fallout of the famine imposed from economic sanctions they weren't prepared to handle the repercussions of so soon after taking control.

Does this mean the Taliban are good? gently caress no. Do innocent Afghani people deserve to starve because of that? Also gently caress no.

Because there's no accountability at all. They could say "gently caress you, all of you" into the lens and it wouldn't mean a single thing in retrospect.

The media just needs to make that the story. Make it clear the politicians are just repeating soundbytes. Or, do really loving long interviews, like 30-40 mins, regularly. Constantly hammer the same questions over and over and refuse to budge. Make these guys melt on screen.

Don't worry, in 2027 Starmer will announce a means-tested raise of the benefit cap to the three children. Toynbee will be vindicated, and anyone who tweeted "Sir Kid Starver" will be jailed. So make sure you vote in 2024. It will be the most important election in a of our lifetimes (TM). (Just waiting for them to import than canard from the US.)

Don't know if this is useful to anyone here but it might save a bit of money so worth a shot:

I've been looking at my energy consumption now that the govt price cap has been lifted, and it looks like the default tarrifs people were shifted to when everything went to poo poo late last year are now no longer the only game in town and despite firms still suggesting these are better than other tarrifs for the time being, that only applies to 'fixed' ones. I'm on Octopus and was using their 'flexible' tarrif which is what they lumped me with during the price cap. There's a nice app called octopus compare (which is independent of octopus) which lets you play with your data and see how you'd do on other tarrifs. Moving to agile octopus would have halved my bills over the last 6mo :doh: . Over the weekend just past they were *paying* you to use electricity.

https://energy-stats.uk/octopus-agile-north-western-england/

Interestingly, while the agile tarrif is nominally designed to benefit you most by moving your consumption around during the day, if I had done nothing at all different with my energy use I'd still have saved about 600GBP over the last 6mo. Part of that is the standing charge is much cheaper than the current flexible offering at 41p versus 49p/day, but the average cost per unit of electricity is also lower on average than the fixed unit rate on flexible.

This is the dream, getting paid overnight to charge the car. not currently possible where I am as no one will fit the required smart meter to my 3 phase supply. Think I've got this sorted for the next place, plus with a home battery to dump cheap/free/paid energy into.

Edit: Its you who to an extent that has to move your consumption around though, not like they do it for you.

Yep, I'm still not convinced proper battery storage pays for itself fast enough to cover the cost of battery degradation etc, but seeing several hours where the cost per unit was -8p/kWh makes it start to look very appealing. Instead I'll be heating up my water tank during those times for now. I'm on a heatpump that is controlled by an app which understands the octopus API- that's the one 'they do it for you' thing I've seen so far, but I'd imagine EV charging apps are getting smart enough to do this too?

Yeah EV chargers at the very least have "charge between" times. I'm certain there's smarter ones that will update those times based on tariff. If not then there should be; goon project?

its all very piecemeal

Like to get everything on board I think you'd have to replace every applicance in your home with magic new ones that dont exist. Like why doesn't my freezer know what energy costs and do a mega freeze over night down to -30 or whatever then not bother all day losing... freezedness, until its like -10 before it does it again the next night? Plus this 24 hour thing is still just hedging, I need to know to the microsecond the exact live price so the fridge can fire the compressor between the microsecond fluctuations.

Also presumably when everyone has this the price graph will just be a stabilised flat line, so early adopters need to grab all their -5ps now whilst they can to pay for the batteries.
