But because we have a smart meter, our energy price can change every 30 minutes. So if our provider predicts that tomorrow lunchtime will be expensive for electricity, it could charge us more. Or it could tell the battery to take over.
You don't have to subscribe to Amazon Prime to use the other TV services. You can also install Kodi if you want to play back local media.
The FireStick will use USB power - so you can use your TV's USB ports rather than a separate plug. It also has an Ethernet adapter - I think only the more expensive Apple devices use Ethernet.
The MP might not be selected by their party to stand in the next election. But there's no law about MPs behaving in a way contrary to the wishes of their electorate.
Indeed, how could an MP do their job properly if there was? If they've got a slim majority there would be almost endless recall petitions from opposition parties.
If they voted against their party, they could be fired by the party against the wishes of the voters.
What bar so you want to set for voters' votes to be invalidated? At the moment we have criminal acts and suspension. What other thresholds would you add - and how would you stop people from abusing them?
Nadine has neither been suspended nor convicted of a crime. So there's no petition.
Even if there were, the threshold for the petition succeeding is only 10% of registered voters. And you can bet that opposition parties would easily he able to drum up that level of support.
Six years ago today we launched https://openbenches.org/ - it is a crowdsourced map of memorial benches from around the world.
Uses OSM for displaying the maps and letting uploaders pick the exact right spot.
There's an API and data-dump so it can be incorporated into OSM - but our data isn't always as precise as needed. I'm still trying to work out a way to map an OSM bench ID to our ID.
If you're out mapping and spot a memorial bench, please do submit a geotagged photo to our site :-)
I replaced all my USB-C and Micro-USB connectors with magnetic ones. No more orientation worries, no more fumbling in the dark, no more not-inserting-it-hard-enough. Just bring the two into proximity and them magically snap together.
The campaign website belongs to the person - or political party - running it. They aren't official government websites, so they aren't eligible to be automatically archived at https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/webarchive/
I like it. As others have said, it is a rebadged Mulvad. When I got it, Mozilla was slightly cheaper.
The apps for Linux work well and the speed seems decent.
I think you've answered your own question - be less meticulous. Oh, and memorise less.
A good programmer knows where their knowledge boundaries are. For example, if you're working in JavaScript, you probably don't need to know bit-shifting.
A good programmer doesn't know every feature; they know where to go to find that information. They know how to read the manual of an unfamiliar feature.
The most important thing you can do is do practical work. Build a website. Try new things. Look up how to implement something and then do it yourself. Find a project that interests you - like building your own website - that'll stave off the fatigue.
You don't need to memorise how to implement a linked-list - you need experience in building.
Set your meal preference. I usually choose "Asian Vegetarian". That guarantees you a (somewhat) tasty curry and you'll also be served first.
If you're travelling to somewhere with a significant timezone change, prepare beforehand. Start shifting your body clock about 1 hour per day. Most importantly, shift when you eat your meals - that seems to be the key for me.
Unless you are flying business class or higher, there's no real way to get a good sleep on a plane. All the gadgets in the world won't help. Get a thick sleep mask and some earplugs and hope for the best.
Once the seatbelt sign is off, take your shoes off. You'll feel a lot more comfortable. Put them on if you go to the toilet though!

It is the same in the UK.
