That's funny, I seem to be saying "well, England doesn't often get snow like this so it's a waste of money to prepare for it properly" every year

History Comes Inside! posted:

In an ideal world where Shell aren’t useless pricks I prefer a monthly DD because it means I can budget the same amount every month for the year, instead of having two cheap quarters in spring and summer then two expensive quarters in autumn and winter I need to budget around. It does mean overpaying in the cheap times but then I’m underpaying in the expensive times and it nets to 0, everyone’s happy.

Plus they knock a few quid off for being on direct debit, but it’s literally that - £4 per fuel.

I'm in the same situation, not changing away from DD though. I'm massively in credit because they've been increasing my monthly charge steadily. I always set it to the lowest it will go on their website, I can't set it to what I want though, they are convinced I'm about to turn on all the radiators full blast and start growing weed, any minute now.

That sucks. We had that happen on Sheppey in summer (fortunately just before or after the heatwave iirc) and SE water were utterly useless there too. First distribution points were at really stupid areas, then they said that live stock wasn't a priority when we (and every other farmer and equestrian on the island) asked about bowser deliveries for our animals.

Well, yes, exactly, livestock aren't the priority in these situations.

Profit on the other hand :smuggo::pipe:

Aren't "Swing voters" basically a myth anyway?

Like, there are not millions of individuals who change their vote around every election depending on who has what policies, it's mostly that people generally vote the same way but people who are enthused will vote and those who aren't, won't?

And even if there *were* loads of swing voters, there are immeasurably more (especially young) people who don't vote.

Yeah but those non-voters want things that our donors we don't want to can't give them.

I used to work with someone called Henry Potter. He would get really sad and downcast if anyone called him Harry, intentionally or by mistake
- probably borne out of a childhood full of being bullied.

And yet not once did I call him a warped, frustrated old man!

I did call him Harry by accident, twice, and I still cringe to think about it

As most d-beat and d-beat adjacent bands are, they've got anarchist thought in their songs. Been a favourite of mine for a while.

They're American and it's something to do with not wearing masks in public places anymore :shrug:

Working in a hospital I haven't really stopped wearing masks since the start of the pandemic, our clinic still has obligatory masks for patient-facing areas which is basically everywhere. Being out in public without a mask still feels weird, it sucks.

I've had Virgin since I moved to Leeds ~4 years ago, but recently they sent their "unfortunately due to current circumstances we have to jack our already high prices up even further" email, which has prompted me to get off my arse and check what else is available. Never had a problem with them in that time, and therefore never had to contact customer service, so I count myself lucky.

I was gonna go straight to Plusnet but I will def. check if Zen are available.

Someone knocked on my door at like 9pm last week and immediately started rambling about how some people had problems with Internet speed when they are far away from the router and did I know my current speed and could I get my phone out and show him what the speed was?
All my electronics apart from my phone are on ethernet so that never really applies to me, I asked him which company he was with, eventually got him to say it was a subsidiary of TalkTalk working with Openreach, but still wouldn't say why he knocked on my door. I told him I didn't have any problems with my connection and shut the door, but it made me so paranoid I went out again after and walked around my house to check he wasn't trying to nick anything. Really weird.

One time when I was a teenager at a friend's house somebody brought up a person they'd seen on TV who could fit three creme eggs in their mouth at once. I blurted out "that doesn't seem so hard", after which my friend's father immediately fetched three creme eggs, handed them to me and said "off you go then".

I learnt an important lesson about talking poo poo that day as chocolatey drool ran down my chin.

You learned another valuable lesson: you need to train until you can fit three creme eggs in your mouth at once.
