There's a by-election today and I hope Labour get their poo poo pushed in by Big Dave Nellist. Probably won't though, had >50% in 2019.

keep punching joe posted:We have a lot of wind and a lot of sea so surely all renewables investment should purely focus on turbines and tidal generation? Solar seems inefficient here, like is it even worthwhile getting domestic solar panels installed if the government aren't subsidising/paying the cost? Not until recently but the calculation might have changed now that energy prices are fully insane.

Angepain posted:That wikipedia clip is fun because if you focus you can make it turn into "Edin-bruh" or "Edin-buruh". As the official decider of edinburgh pronounciation because I'm me and I'm always right i declare both correct so long as you make it as difficult to tell as this guy did. Definitely more correct than that youtube guy who is leaning more to "Edin-brah". i mean it's still entirely understandable but one has to find some reason to feel smarter than foreigners when all other evidence says otherwise Embra

Was that the same incident that created the Causeway or was mythical Ireland just hooching with giants determined to lob poo poo at Scotland?

Before you go to the pub you "withdraw" some money into it and when you pay contactless the tenners or whatever disappear out of it. If you spend it all out locks you out of the app until you've done like a few hundred yards travel to represent having to go to the cash machine and get more out Reload the wallet by booping it on the contactless reader at a cash point. Perfect.

Actually I still have the Python scripts I used to build ukmt.db kicking around somewhere, I might dust them off and chart the decline and fall because at least it's content, right? In March 2020 we were all in lockdown and posting hot takes itt was all we had to do after our one permitted instance of outdoor exercise per day.

Barry Foster posted:One of the worst nights of my life, straight up. Not to make light of trauma, but it really was traumatic I had to come back from GOTV operations early in the evening because my partner had a minor stress-induced meltdown resulting in her punching the laptop screen when it wouldn't turn on. So that's my excuse for reduced posting volumes. Probably wouldn't have managed to personally pull an extra 4000 votes in the last three hours of campaigning anyway, I'd have been super mad if it had ended up being a razor thin loss though. Took the next day off work and just sat around feeling numb. Really, really horrible experience all round, 0/10 election night would not recommend.
