- Comment on Why craft breweries are under threat as closures leap 49% 6 months ago:
Probably because they were popping up at an alarming rate, and not everyone drinks that amount of beer!
- Comment on What would you like to see in a house IT setup? 7 months ago:
For a CCTV point of view, cheep Chinese ip cameras that have poe and are blocked from the internet (own vlan), having them run via frigate with a coral you should be more than enough for you.
You can the bundle this and all your other home smartness into a home assistant server.
Job done.

When I got my first proper job at the turn of the century, it was the first thing I signed up to... A shitty stakeholder pension as my company was paying 8% into it
- Comment on ‘Zombie Offices’ Spell Trouble for Some Banks - The New York Times 8 months ago:
Most probably... I don't know, but if we did, good shout and good memory 👍
- Comment on ‘Zombie Offices’ Spell Trouble for Some Banks - The New York Times 8 months ago:
You do know if that sector fails, so does your pension, and probably a whole load of the economy.
- Comment on Google Search, Chrome, and Android are all changing thanks to EU antitrust law 9 months ago:
Isn't that RCS comment a problem because the networks are just lazy shits and didn't want RCS, so Google just went and covered for them?
- Comment on Environment Agency invested £15m in ‘forever chemicals’ 9 months ago:
The fund manager is Capita... they aren't going to last long anyway, because they had a massive data breach last year, so I expect they will be loosing their contract to manage the fund. Those wankers are the ones to be blamed for this, not the EA.
- Comment on News app Artifact is shutting down 9 months ago:
What are the best news aggregators that people use these days? I have fallen back to using news.google.com, which Im not that too happy about, but it does seem to work ok for me.
- Comment on Environment Agency invested £15m in ‘forever chemicals’ 9 months ago:
Fuck me... Really!!? Pension fund? Seriously, like the EA has control over what the fund managers invest in.
- Comment on UK use of gas and coal for electricity at lowest since 1957, figures show 10 months ago:
Switch done, and I managed to get your referral on there, so expect £50 soon! I also managed to find details on what settings to adjust on the inverter, and bonus points, I figured out how I can do it via their web portal... what will be good if I can adjust those settings via my Home Assistant server integration!
- Comment on It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. 10 months ago:
It grinds me a bit, as I did have a Linux version if Firefox installed on my Chromebook, but because the book is just a sofa device and doesn't get any love (especially from the little shits), it runs dog slow, so I end up just using chrome on it, and suffer the pain of not having things synced between devices. Thankfully the most important thing, bitwarden is syncing, so I can manage the suffering.

To be fair, chromebooks are great devices for kids, and the family link platform makes keeping them "secure", easier... a lot easier!!!
- Comment on Harvard’s robotic exoskeleton can improve walking, decrease falls in people with Parkinson’s 10 months ago:
The guy was walking like John Wayne... Ready to bust into any bar and send the slap down in!
- Comment on UK use of gas and coal for electricity at lowest since 1957, figures show 10 months ago:
So I have started the switch. Do I just email the intro code over to them, as I didn't see a place to use?
I have also been looking at my solis inverter and can see settings to control when the battery can be charged from the grid. At the moment, that is off, so if I switch, I should turn this on and charge from say 1am to 5am.

Whats the negative side of the agile tarrif? Are energy prices that volatile that it can potentially screw you over? Whats the risk here? Thanks!!
- Comment on UK use of gas and coal for electricity at lowest since 1957, figures show 10 months ago:
As someone who has just got solar and has an EV, please explain on what I am doing wrong!!!
- Comment on Freelancing (?) programmers here: How do you estimate how many scrum points a specific project will require? Is there a template? 10 months ago:
The idea is it doesn't matter what points you give something. What matters is that you are consistent with how you do figure it out, as then over time you will be able to get a velocity that you can use to predict the amount of work you can turn over. That's how I see it anyway.
- Comment on Two men, aged 60 and 61, arrested by counter terror police over ULEZ camera explosion 10 months ago:
To be fair, its a pretty stupid thing to blow something up in public... It doesn't suprise me that this part of the fuzz got involved.
- Comment on Headteachers in England tell of worsening behaviour of pupils – and parents 11 months ago:
Can you imagine what would happen if it was up to the kids to decide if they went to school? Haha...
- Comment on UK inflation falls sharply to 4.6% 11 months ago:
Fab! I bet my employer uses that info for pay reviews, -3%!
- Comment on BBC licence fee is ‘regressive tax’, broadcaster’s former chair says 11 months ago:
It's been classed as a tax since the mid naughties...https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200506/ldselect/ldbbc/128/128i.pdf
- Comment on Government should target tree aftercare rather than planting, say UK experts 1 year ago:
Makes sense. The number of trees you see planted by developers that are now dead are ridiculous.
- Comment on Boris Johnson asked experts if you could kill Covid by blowing hairdryer up nose 1 year ago:
Let's get passed the stupidness of the whole things and look at the concept itself. What is the science here? Blasting heat at a location where COVID bacteria might be lingering?
- Comment on Hamas says over 700 Gazans killed in past day in widened Israeli strikes 1 year ago:
You seem angry. Need a hug?
- Comment on 7 Million UK Smart Meters At Risk of Connectivity Loss in 2G and 3G Switch Off no 1 year ago:
I'm sorry, but what have thermostats got to do with this? I thought this was just impacting meters?
- Comment on ‘I won’t pay for them to pollute my river’: why a UK water bills boycott is growing 1 year ago:
Do they realise by not paying they reduce money to fix infrastructure that is causing more leaks and sewage into rivers than CSOs?
- Comment on We'll bulldoze local blocks on housing, says Keir Starmer 1 year ago:
I have no issue with this, so long as he isn't converting loads of green space to houses. Brown field sites, or offices that have been empty for ages, should be targetted... not that empty field on the edge of the village.
- Comment on Wokingham council strategy aims to reduce violence against women 1 year ago:
To be honest, they should focus on sorting out their massive finance issues. They are one of the next in line councils to go under.

This is like an episode of the simpsons... bart and the statue head... surely this was a bet or dare?
