Happy Bonfire Night everybody! 🔥🎆

Hope you've got your Guy Fawkes effigies ready to go, I like to stuff mine with newspaper :-D

I understand that the larger numbers are the totals from 2022 to now, and the smaller numbers are from a smaller recent period, but is there any indication what this more recent period is? I'm guessing it's a week, or a month?

Thanks :-)

Man, what a shitty dig to make about a tragedy of death that just happened.

...Maybe Ho could wait until they're done clearing the bodies and rubble before using the incident as a platform for his opinions?

I don't care if he and I share some agreement on cars and their overuse within our cities, that is in incredibly poor taste.

Good thing the "Feds" have zero jurisdiction in my country then. Feck em.

I'm guessing this is a repost bot or such?

I say mould because I'm English and that's just how it's spelled here (we also pronounce it with a U, pronouncing it without the U as mold would be...strange).

Not an overly exciting response I know, but there you go :P

It'll be interesting to see which party they vote in over there this time, certainly.

Either way I think after this kafuffle I'll add a text filter to hide all content containing the word "Trump". I have zero interest in the guy, he's just depressing, and the damage he did to that country is just depressing:-(

What's with the Half Life guy coming out of a urinal o.O

Ah yes, technology videos are really bad. Especially that Technology Connections guy, he's the absolute worst.

And don't even get me started on technology video reviews, tutorials, guides, educational materials and tech news. I only consume technology information in newspaper form. This new video thing just won't catch on.

I looked up what that is,

It moves hot water from your water heater through your pipes and back again, keeping the water in the pipes hot and ready for use

While that sounds great from an end point perspective - my water would be hot straight from the tap - this would necessitate keeping the water in the pipes hot 24/7 so that it'd be ready at a moments notice at any time.

That would be SOOO much more expensive! Just imagine! So much energy/money lost keeping some pipes hot for the few times a day you need to use the hot tap.

Sounds like a great system for places like a hospital where on demand, correctly heated water throughout the building complex is a must, but those places have £££ to burn.

I do agree this is a problem though, I've sometimes wondered if there's an instant electric heating system one can install under the sink (I know these exist), but rather than only heating water that way (which would use electricity and be WAY more expensive than the gas boiler), if it heated the water only when needed - and when it detects the incoming water is hot (as the boiler's caught up) it can stop heating the water itself, you know?

A little initial heat burst for the first 15 seconds basically until the boiler catches up, that'd be great and not too big of an additional cost to run :-D

After your turn the water off in the shower but before you get out, use your hands to wipe off any standing water on your body. Maybe even give your legs a bit of a shake. This way, you won’t drip nearly as much when you get out, keeping the floor and your towel drier.

Are there people that don't do this? Wouldn't they absolutely soak their bathroom floor?

Heck, I do this and then use a small towel to get the rest of the initial water off while I'm stood in the shower, that way when I step out I'm no longer dripping wet, and my big main towel can do the rest of the work without needing to get soaked itself.

It can just be thrown on the bed to dry, no need to unfold it, and the smaller very wet towel is easier to find somewhere to hang up.

Anyway that's my system, a little addition to your tip :-)

6?! They're up to SIX? I feel like the second one only just came out the other year....

Which one was it where the USA gets invaded and the ISS gets blown up? That's the last one I played, the concept and set pieces were very cool but the whole thing just felt too much of a repeat of the previous games, so I moved on to fresher stuff after that.
