Android lets you set custom alarms. The best one I have is a recoding of me screaming into my phone to “get the fuck up”

The difficult bit is getting all of the utilities in there in a maintainable way I believe

Until the engine warms up, I can’t keep the windscreen from misting up in the winter. Especially if it’s frosted on the outside!

…how do you demist your cars?

It’s the only time that tabs Vs spaces really riles me up. So annoying when everyone has different tab lengths

If you go into the windows notification centre there is a focus button that handles that for you I think.

Tried to answer, but it got very convoluted, here it is anyway as I typed it out…

Because that’s a less useful metric basically, to change their budget a government can:

• increase existing taxes
• add completely new taxes
• print money (depending on the level of government)

This means that a budget can swing quite a bit in value quite quickly if needed (or if something goes wrong). This means the % could swing quite widely.

GDP on the other hand is effectively the value of the economy, so moves slower and is a better metric to compare different countries with different economies and tax systems (assuming they tell the truth about their GDP…)

Ultimately, if a government needs more money, most of the time it can get it… But whatever they do will have side effects. But those side effects depend on the size of the economy, the bigger the economy (measured by GDP) the more can be done/taken without causing a large effect.

Both of these fail to highlight countries that already have a high tax load though, so in practice a wide range of metrics will be used.

TIL about unbundled RECs. More questions to ask my companies sustainability team 😈

Still not showing anything from Lemmy right? I guess upvotes don’t convert to boosts? I tried favouriting the post, does that make it show?

Imagine… A party of Gaspode, the Librarian, Nobby Nobbs and the Luggage.

On the one more lane thing, going from 1 lane each way to two is a massive improvement as it allows overtaking.

Agree otherwise.

If they took it right through the hills and brought out out by Winterbourne Stoke then it would be much better I think?

Most of the traffic is through traffic anyway. Bringing it up by Long Barrow Roundabout (it’s in the name!) was crazy.

I mean, it’s a bottleneck heading back towards London too, between the barrow roundabout and Stonehenge is often a mess in both directions. Mostly due to people looking at Stonehenge instead of the road.

It’s less about improving the trains and more about making them cheaper! (Not that I would complain about some new lines either!)

I mean it would speed things up, I think the plan involved a bypass for the village next to it too?

I didn’t agree with the location of the tunnel though, so kinda happy it got canned.

I thought this was meant to be the difference between biodegradable and compostable?

Biodegradable will degrade in an industrial composter, compostable will do so in the compost bin in your back garden.

Pay/reg walled from the article so didn’t actually read it…

Probably realistic unfortunately ☹️

And their bedtime brew (with vanilla and nutmeg) is the best decaf I have found too!

That’s a fair point.

If you were single and earning an MPs salary it could be a bit of a no brainer - could you get a other equally or better paying job within a few months? Considering you have been a politician for the last 5 years not an SME in whatever field?

If you had a family on that salary, unsure. If you agreed it with your other half as a planned move, maybe?

Think of it as a safety net, if you lose the election you lose your job… But the winnings of that bet would then help you out.

If you win, you keep your reasonable lucrative job, no problem.
