Legal and social expectations rather than political isn’t it?

Yeah, it seems like they are. Its a shame though, spoons needs competition. I don’t know the price per pint for a pub supplier but supermarkets provide a wide variety for under £1/pint. So even if you don’t get the same bulk deals as spoons, surely being within £1 or so shouldn’t be too difficult? I mean that is +50% still but that is more reasonable than +300%

Care to elaborate?

If it was a just bit more I could believe that a lot more. Also we have a local independent Chinese restaurant that sells drinks for vastly less than any other pub except spoons. They absolutely don’t have bulk supplier options. Honestly wouldn’t even surprise me if they are just buying it from Tesco.

At least Lemmy seems to be more sane about it. Reddit was full of “but cost of living!”. Then again that was their same complaint about raising the minimum wage, don’t do that because cost of living.

At least you know they can never enshitify what you have already bought and downloaded.

Well someone needed it explaining.

Have they tried charging a reasonable amount for drinks? Spoons can charge under £2 a drink, what expenses do you have that they don’t to justify charging several times more?

It will help if you use very little and cost more if you use lots.

Valve don’t even care if your game has PC and console players playing together.

We have GOG too

Not quite, we will make a few token efforts and everyone will blame someone else while most of them continue to fill up their car with petrol and run their gas boiler and insisting no its the petrol and gas company to blame.

I mean they could, but if they do I won’t be using their site. 4chan is still running though.

I would be curious how little energy it takes in summer as its still doing hot water. Pretty sure with the summer we had it could have acted like a heat exchanger alone and the water would have been warm enough. Its internal thermometer read well over 40c most days when it was in the sun.

Maybe a combination of getting used to not spending money and things being increasingly shit, but I don’t know what I would want to bother spending this on.

Even when I was earning £600 a month on apprentice wages in the late 2010s I don’t think this would have meaningfully changed my life.

Bought my house a few years ago, would love to see prices drop. Ideally gradually rather than a sudden crash though. Like if they just stagnate in absolute value and inflation eats away at the labour required to pay for them, that would be great.

Higher minimum wage, static house prices. I see a lot of the middle class crying about minimum wage going up here, I say fuck em. Bring on a living wage for all!

Quick edit - currently rumoured to be that minimum wage will be rising £13.20 (17.50USD).

Hotel in town where I live for £24/night with breakfast included. Mostly that cheap because who the fuck is coming here in October, its much more when various festivals are in the area.

Encourage your most extreme opponents that their vote doesn’t work.

They can work just fine if you have a fairly wide area, a parallel path would probably be fine in places that doesn’t work though. Ideally you would want to keep the distance someone walks from when they have to get off their bike pretty short or realistically you are going to get a lot of people just cycling anyway.

Isn’t this advice basically the same has it has been for years if not decades? Have a few days of food and any medication. Torches, candles etc.

Annoyingly power banks are out of stock here because of this and I need a new one as my old one turned into a spicy pillow recently. Still got 1 left but its nice for us to have 1 each. Still, it lasted like 10 years so that isn’t too bad.
