Last pound pint night I went to, I swear they were watering them down.

It was still a messy evening, mind.

2015, so not that long ag....oh shit...

That's not an unreasonable reason not to subscribe.

I do have a bit of a fear that the company may hit a turning point. And he'll either tone it down a bit, or they'll lose a lot of people, both staff and subs.

I stopped recommending kagi on lemmy after the umpteenth person accused me of shilling.

Maybe I should take a screenshot of the £20 leaving my account each month!

feddit.uk clocks in at under £40/month. That's hosting, and backups. lemmy.zip is similar.

Plus our time, but we're obviously doing it as a labour of love.

A long time ago, a government decided it was in the best interests of the country to sell off the water companies to private investors.
Over time, those companies were loaded up with debt to pay dividends to investors.
Lumbered with huge interest payments, and shareholders pushing for more returns, investment in the water systems were cut to the bone.
So now we're seeing more and more failures as a result of cost cutting.

It's a complete farce, imho. Especially since it's another case of "buying a company by taking out loans against that same company".

It'll just be a waiting game for the promises to expire, then splitting off the profitable bits, lumping the debt onto the obligated post bit, and letting the state pick up the pieces.

Oooooooh, I'd buy that.

There is a guy fighting Newport council to let him dig through a landfill at the moment: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-67297013

Massive love for Reaper. One of the few bits of software I'm happy to pay for each time I've had my 3 future versions, or whatever it is.

The canadian chap has explained a lot of things well.

The biggest part is, water vapor in the air condenses to liquid water when it encounters a surface that is colder. For example, nice warm inside bricks connected to cool outside bricks after someone put something in the cavity.

If that water condenses in a place that is cold, and low airflow, it will be there for a while. It soaks into anything that might take it, and gives a fantastic place for mould to grow.
So if the cavity filling between two walls is not executed with a serious survey and planning, this can happen.

The two main options to prevent water are putting up membranes that prevent water vapor reaching the bad area in the first place, or by using materials that are breathable to the vapor throughout the wall, so it can wick away in either direction.

So in the bad situations, you end up with water condensing, then getting trapped by non-breathable insulation, in some cases pooling up at the bottom of the cavity, leading to the damp growing effectively out of the walls, and into the room.
And of course, non-breathable materials are often cheaper/more insulating, so generally get picked first.

South isn't that bad, outside the M25.

Admins that access the post through their instance can currently see the votes.

Someone explained it to me that a lot of the downvoting is people browsing all, then getting annoyed and downvoting when they see things they're not interested in :|

It's about a month until the 12th, perhaps the orangemen are trying to drive the price down.

Whichever is on offer at the offy!

Plus a couple of bottles of that malt stuff from Nigeria.

Depends how many tins of Guinness I've had.

Five guys do unlimited refills, but the cup is 5 fucking quid. Similar tale in Marugame Udon.

And that's on top of a tenner each for the burger. At least they don't police whos cup is whos.

I've pinned this post to the instance.
One of the best things we can do is encourage everyone to get to get registered, and get ready to vote.

Congrats Frank, please don't change the title to something horrid while I'm busy :)

Sounds good to me. If you're getting a builder to do it, you're almost definitely better off with whatever system they're happy using.
Everyone will have their preference that they feel most comfortable with.

Honestly, I reckon it's 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. Over 25 years, it'll probably do the same job.

I honestly don't hate this policy. Keeping at least 3 days supplies with rotation is just common sense, right?
If something knocked the power/water out for a couple of days, every person with something in store is one less person the authorities have to worry about, until things either stabilise or get worse.
