Failed Imagineer posted:Brown lemonade is fine but inferior to its cousin, red lemonade. And both are put in the ha'penny place by the King Of Carbonation, Tanora For reasons that completely eluded me until now I was handed a bottle of tanora by some heart shaped mascot in Cork airport coming out of arrivals last week. I admire the effort but someone clearly carrying four times their bodyweight in luggage does not need a 2L bottle to lug around as well. Do taytos next time Cork airport. Or do one better and have flights to more than like 3 destinations.

Dead Goon posted:https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/feb/02/calls-grow-for-urgent-review-of-damage-done-by-wood-burning-stoves I find the media reporting over wood burners to be a fascinating insight into sensible centrist handwringing causes. It seems like every other day over the past few years the broadsheets have been contradicting themselves with a regular stream of articles in a way that looks like two warring astroturfing campaigns. The torygraph in particular, if you google 'telegraph wood stoves' it's almost a perfect back and forth between 'you should be buying these now' and 'they're terrible'. I'd love to know who is funding these and what their motivations are. That grauniad one is particularly bad as usual, it's conflating a lot of details about older/newer stoves and not specifying the fuel types or moisture content, which makes it seem like they're hiding the details. My suspicion is they're aware a blanket ban would screw a lot of people who don't have access to, or can't afford cleaner methods of heating, but what they really want to say is 'pls ban woodburners in London, but not in my holiday cottage thanks'

There's a lot of that too, particularly the ones with pics of Boris under a tagline of 'this new tech will unlock cheaper heating thank you tories', but the fun part is that a heatpump plus a woodburner is probably quite a good combination both energy and climate-wise. On the few days a year it's cold enough here that a heatpump would struggle you'd probably also be using electricity with a higher fossil fuel footprint to run it. Supplementing it with some sustainably sourced wood on those days might be a net positive, though that's where how polluting they really are comes into play.

Skull Servant posted:I got a survey in from the Greens the other day and I filled it out. I said that as much as I would like to vote for them, the issues with transphobia added with the fact that RLB is my MP means that they really have to have a really, really good platform before I would hand them my vote. Same. I'm conflicted because RLB is a good 'un but I'm really struggling with the fact that voting labour is a lost cause.

This is true, they've expelled and lost all the ones that cared about the manifesto commitments, the 8 remaining members are 100% backing ¡Kieth!
