Anyone not actively supporting Israels genocide will be treated as a terrorist.

At markets I often see stalls selling what is obviously just printed or laser cut in bulk for things like chopping boards and coasters.

Happy little accidents make it look like it was made by someone rather than something.

The cheddar cheese caves are not literally made of cheese. They are where cheese was traditionally made.

Report may as well have been funded by Israel

Shame I can’t legally sell my home made mead, so much licensing in the way its not worth bothering. Plus I am pretty sure this £3k wouldn’t exempt all the other various taxes on it.

Where else do you suggest, without building concentration camps?

Actually curious how the number of them is changing over time. IIRC it happened due to Tories just not bothering to process them fast enough.

At least Lemmy seems to be more sane about it. Reddit was full of “but cost of living!”. Then again that was their same complaint about raising the minimum wage, don’t do that because cost of living.

Well someone needed it explaining.

It will help if you use very little and cost more if you use lots.

Not quite, we will make a few token efforts and everyone will blame someone else while most of them continue to fill up their car with petrol and run their gas boiler and insisting no its the petrol and gas company to blame.

I mean they could, but if they do I won’t be using their site. 4chan is still running though.

I would be curious how little energy it takes in summer as its still doing hot water. Pretty sure with the summer we had it could have acted like a heat exchanger alone and the water would have been warm enough. Its internal thermometer read well over 40c most days when it was in the sun.

Maybe a combination of getting used to not spending money and things being increasingly shit, but I don’t know what I would want to bother spending this on.

Even when I was earning £600 a month on apprentice wages in the late 2010s I don’t think this would have meaningfully changed my life.

Don’t have it but want to get that wood disc. But there are loads that I want and aware that I shouldn’t just buy all of them.

At some point I think I should buy proper wood boards to work with. Want to make a board game - game of Ur can be carved onto a simple plank, then decorate each square with a carved shape or pattern. Coasters are another one.

Been drawing patterns lately, one I quite like is a cat with a herring bone repeating background that I hope would come out nicely as a line carving.

The real scam was capitalism?

Ohhh very high spec there, does explain the high price though.

Now that Factorio is on Arm I could consider it. Still kinda dislike the lack of a generic boot loader that just works across any device though.

Got a dremel and have wondered about using it to carve out a turnip. Would probably want one of the large power carving bits, not sure what its like carving things with loads of moisture inside. Pretty sure I remember reading its better to use the flex shaft so you don’t risk getting moisture inside the motor.

Isn’t this advice basically the same has it has been for years if not decades? Have a few days of food and any medication. Torches, candles etc.

Annoyingly power banks are out of stock here because of this and I need a new one as my old one turned into a spicy pillow recently. Still got 1 left but its nice for us to have 1 each. Still, it lasted like 10 years so that isn’t too bad.

Maybe I am being overly cynical but this sounds like a handout to fossil fuel companies to keep people using gas longer. The standing charge was an extra reason to push me towards cutting off my gas supply entirely several years ago and going fully electric.

Crazy thing is despite all the propaganda against it, my heat pump works great in my house that is almost 100 years old. A kW of heat is a kW of heat regardless of where it comes from.
