I agree. This website has been very useful and encouraging on my language learning journey.

Technically, no, as in the UK, you can’t steal electricity… you can only abstract electricity, which is an offence in its own right. (IANAL)

I’ll get my coat.

I was so annoyed to get that email. Never using them again. Going to install a non-smart wireless thermostat, or maybe a HA install if I’m feeling brave.

Not quite a direct answer, but since watching Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, we’ve enjoyed referring to things in tins/cans as trapped potatoes, trapped beans etc.

It seems to use jawg.io for its base map. Perhaps it’s this?

It brings me a lot of joy to contribute to OSM. I haven’t written anything other than the occasional script for years, so it feels good to help the community in ways like this instead.

I’ve sunk so many hours into it. Either “armchair mapping” with OSM and the imagery overlays, or (more fun) wandering with the android Street Complete app to fill in gaps when I’m out and about.

This thread about the most northerly The North sign might be of interest, and possibly even help :)

We all try to forget!

That’s not quite true… just less than half of voting Conservative party members voted for him, preferring instead the steady hand of Liz Truss. Well done there guys.

*cries

Maybe he thinks that more of his constituents are pro breathing decent air than pro driving smoggy private vehicles. I’d like to think he’s onto something.

BTW, the duck logo is the duck from Sarah & Duck. It’s a brilliant show, and I think can be found on iPlayer.

We’ve named this duck Martin. Poor chap has a bad wing so we give him double feeding of duck kib when we visit.

It does make our good “home coffee” even better!

To add, we watched James Hoffman’s review of good instant coffee and tried the Percol instant. It’s certainly good enough for later-in-the-day coffees, but we always start with the good stuff.

Great username btw!

Much of my work is collaborative document creation. I’d love to use LibreOffice but try as I might, I can’t work out how to connect it to corporate SharePoint sites etc.

Working with MS Word on anything but trivial documents is miserable. So many bugs and weirdnesses. How is it even possible for Word to let its documents become sour using its own file format!

I say “sour” because the documents are still accessible, so not fully corrupted… but over time, weirdnesses creep in such as tables losing their positioning data, cross-references breaking for no reason etc.

The trees are still plotting my demise.

Oh that is interesting, thank you! Shall check it out!

You’re right of course :) I guess I spend so much time IRL with traffic, seeing the virtual equivalent doesn’t spark joy any more. It’s a shame, I used to love city builders.

I’d love a car-free option. Mass transit, bicycles and foot travel only would be a great challenge.

I’ve spent many happy hours playing the original… My only gripe is that it always turned into a traffic management sim. Yes there were other challenges, but traffic was always front and centre. (At least for my cities)

Eeep! OK, we will send all the cold stares we give people who jump queues. Hope that helps!

Hello! Hope all is well over in .dk! Would you like some of our sunshine? We’ve got too much and will happily trade it for some ice, or a nice cup of tea.
