I have a PC and PS5. I like my PS5 because I know when I buy a game for it, it's going to work. On the other hand with my PC I have to triple check the specs and fiddle around with the graphics settings, and the only way I can have confidence that it will play any game is if I spend ~£1000 upgrading it. Or just get the game on the playstation.

So Greenland will have a lake that looks like an upside down Great Britain

Never met a tramp but the idea of just fucking off from society and living in the woods or something is a constant temptation.

I haven't paid any attention to them for a good 10 years, when I looked at their manifesto and saw that they wanted to cancel all road maintenance to force people to cycle. Hopefully it's a bit less insane these days.

60yr old house in the UK, we have one breaker per socket circuit for example. It uses 2.5mm wire which can handle 30A, so that would be the max recommended fuse rating at the breaker. That way it's still protected if there is a break in the circuit anywhere.

We also have a separate lighting circuit with 1.5mm wire and a lower breaker fuse rating.

It can lead to some annoying fuckery though. I recently updated a ceiling light and was frustrated at why it wouldn't switch on after triple checking every connection. Had to get out a multimeter and investigate all over the house. Turns out at some point in the past a previous homeowner had not bothered to connect the neutral wire back to the fusebox at an entirely different ceiling light, leaving the neutral floating. It was sitting at 110V rather than zero. Somehow it was OK to do that with old lights.

The central fuse boxes only protect the house wiring. You need a lower rated fuse for individual devices. That 30A central fuse ain't gonna protect the wiring inside your 6A lamp.

Also who the fuck would want to go around replacing all of the sockets in their house with a new standard

How Max didn't get a race ban for spinning his wheels on Lewis's head I'll never understand

Yeah it's worrying seeing so many people my age claiming that they are falling apart. I'm 35 and my body is fine. The only wonky thing is that my face feels like it sets on fire if I yawn incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure that's a TMJ injury caused from stress clenching rather than age.

The permission of unrestricted hate speech is what leads the people like your current president being your current president.

That's like saying that a company can freely import guns into a country where they are banned, but it's all the civilians fault if they buy any.

And as a result of that attitude they just lost the entire UK market
