if anyone hasn’t mentioned it yet, get on the priority list if you’re disabled old or have kids younger than five, and if power cuts do happen there’s supposed to be some form of urgent care provision so your loved ones dont freeze to death (this winter at least)

Nice! Make sure the savings account actually pays interest and is not some awful "call it savings but only pay 0.1%" thing. You can get 2-3% at the moment I think.

A part of me feels like "platforms giving away games for free" is a scam I want no part in. Weird stance to take given I'll pirate games if I have beef with the publishers, and I don't own the game any more by buying it on steam or the like.

At the rate I actually buy games though, that's probably a sensible financial decision for me, the most I've spent on video games in months is £15 on Pentiment (very good game, would like another game where I get to fall in love with an ensemble cast of characters and Make Decisions).

as far as i can gather Epic store pays the publisher as normal, it’s just that they’re making mind boggling amounts of money off Fortnight so it’s pissing in the wind relatively speaking, but they’re trying to diversify their business and eat valves lunch

They don't want you to know who really won the Nobel Prize for typing 'lab guy' into a stock photo site.

actually if you must know, he’s the brother of the scientist who discovered a way to make water a free source of energy but who was mysteriously killed by exxon before he could publish his discovery, so a bit of secrecy is just sensible at this point

Has anyone ever had their smart meter give their supplier an incorrect automatic reading?

I've just been checking over my account (and have had to increase my direct debits to 350 a month, jeeeez) and it says it took smart meter reads on 1st Jan but the gas one they have recorded is not remotely in line with the last reading from last year or my current manual reading (it says ~5100 rather than ~11000)

I am now slightly bricking it that I'll get some insane bill in a month or two and won't be able to contest it because Smart Meters Are Never Wrong.

write it all down take photos and contact them asap?

Please can someone tell me how to change it? I glazed over at the accessibility derail last week but now I'm very sorry!!

I kept wondering who this Evri was as I've never heard of them. Turns out it's just a rebrand of Hermes hahaha yeah they are awful.

They along with Amazon prime think it's fine to just dump things over my gate, cos walking round to the door is too far for them.

that’s very clever, wonder if yodel have done a rebrand, especially since it has been more than once that i’ve cancelled an online order when i found out they’re the delivery company

Naah, Neanderthals are endlessly fascinating!
I love that there was this bizarre era tens of thousands of years ago where Homo Sapiens, Neanderthalis, Erectus (snigger), Denosivian, Floresiensis and probably a whole bunch of other human species all shared the world together. Must have been like Dungeons and Dragons, with humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes and hobbits all chilling out in taverns together, probably.

funny how the most savage of the lot made it out though
