 https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1323657728443731968 Well, at least one part of the Brexit planning is going well  (Yes, that's the Daily Mail being concerned that the Tory government is making a move which is too oppressive for a liberal society)

RE: Poppymas, My certainty that Extinction Rebellion is a Met Police op meant to distract frothing gammons from any actual consequential change we might make towards slightly improving the climate crisis continues to increase. https://twitter.com/LBC/status/1326451218378612736 quote:Loosely related, Worcestershire Sauce Wheat Crunchies (RIP) were the best crisps of all time.

The only cat I've ever respected was the feral one who tried to claw my leg off in Morocco. All the others just passive aggressively poo poo in my gravel and give me the stink eye from the top of my shed. Anyway, London can be a bit of weird one. Not a big fan myself, but it's where the work tends to be. If you can integrate into a local community you'll generally do great, but it does have a very high turnover. I think the most recent figures are something like 1.6 million moving out in the last five years, 1.1 million moving in. I definitely wouldn't recommend buying straight off (even if that's an option given how overpriced stuff is) - spend six months in an area to ensure you're happy with it first. I hopped around boroughs for about five years when I got here before finally settling on 'screw this, just outside the M25 for commuting will be fine'.

Total Meatlove posted:Please get a smart meter. I know that in the initial rollout people got some poo poo ones and that damaged the usefulness of the programme overall but it really will make things better long term and does gently caress all to you in the short term. The new ones are fine. Last time I looked into it the smart meter rollout continued to be a massive cluster which has cost about £13 billion so far, or an additional £500 on energy bills for each of the 26 million households in the UK. About 3.6 million of currently installed meters are in 'traditional' i.e. dumb mode and the rest of the SMETS1 ones are probably going to need to be ripped out and replaced at some point anyway as they stop working once you switch supplier. Which of course nobody in the UK ever does. https://assets.publishing.service.g...eport_FINAL.pdf https://www.theregister.com/2019/09/17/four_year_delay_for_smart_meter_rollout/ The main benefit to 'consumers' has been a natty little in-house display that tells you information you could have found out anyway. Meanwhile suppliers are getting shot of their meter readers and the government is salivating over the prospect of demand shifting and selectively cutting off electricity as the national grid heads towards rolling blackouts from lack of new generation capacity. Please feel free to expound on what the actual benefits are, but to my mind it's just another failed national infrastructure project under capitalism.

NotJustANumber99 posted:In theory my electric car charger can monitor energy prices in like minute by minute real time and ask for electricity when the network is desperate to unload it so will in fact pay me to take it. Yes, that was one of the original promises way back in 2013. Has anyone, anywhere, actually achieved that? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the SMETS2 standard even has the concept of providing minute by minute pricing data to the customer. Let alone any standard API to send that information to things like car chargers. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/381535/SMIP_E2E_SMETS2.pdf quote:4.4.2.1 Communications Links with a PPMID via its HAN Interface E: Whoops, quoted the gas meter reqs.
