He was made sticky by vicky.

The amount of people who would be off with long covid if not for work from home is understated, in my opinion.

IIRC, the reason it wasn’t previously taxed, is that it would have opened up writing off gambling losses against tax.
Don’t quote me, obv.
So maybe it would need a lot of other tax law changing at the same time, to not end up encouraging people accidentally the other way.

You’d need steel chestnuts to even attempt such a thing!

I like to think of it like a passive action that helps handle the smaller amounts of moisture (humans breathing, cooking, laundry), but also an action that helps reduce the problems of acute issues that occur. That way, when something does happen, there is at least a dampening effect while the leak is fixed.
Leaks and rising damp still need to be addressed, obviously.

Examples are things like vermiculite render on the outside, Steico/Wool batts as normal insulation.

The downside is, it’s expensive. The insulation is only as good as fibreglass/rockwool, and costs about 3x as much.

There is another thing that I sometimes talk about on here, breathability.
You either need to prevent any moisture moving in any direction, or allow vapor to move with breathable materials.
Ones that allow water vapor to move, but not liquid water.

Older buildings, where the original materials were breathable, should ideally continue to use breathable materials. This prevents issues with water wicking through one old surface, then getting trapped behind another. It also removes the risk of damaged or badly designed vapor barriers allowing things through, as the materials themselves help get the moisture out as a passive action.

They’re also changing the way you get money after someone buys something.

eBay balance, apparently. So by default, when a transaction happens, the money stays in eBay, and you have to manually transfer it out, instead of scheduled timed payouts.

I can imagine that would have gone down well with Boris’ biggest fan base.

Followed swiftly by everyone else burying their faces in their palms, on both sides of the channel.

And probably everyone on the ground contracting covid during the raid for bonus “yes minister” points.

Jewish people were targeted in the Holocaust. The Nazis didn’t care about anything else.

I mean, they did target other people.

Building wide generating and averaging absolutely makes sense.

It needs tighter regulation though. As when you have apartments that are effectively tied to a provider, protections need to be in place to stop ridiculous energy price hikes and maintenance charges.

It’s getting to the point where the only saving grace for Tesco over Aldi is the delivery vans.

Here comes the next house price hike wave, then.

Nationwide are also launching deals under 4%.

Shipping people out of the UK to Australia?
That’d never work. You’d have to charge them at least ten pound.

The trick is to fit 9.5mm every time, until their partner asks if there is a way to make it stronger.

Then fit 2 layers of 15mm soundboard.

The great thing is though, it’s completely up to you to choose: If you want to carry a child to term, and have the requisite equipment, you can do so.
If someone else doesn’t want to, that’s their decision too.

That’s a pretty awesome idea, I’m not going to lie!

Alternative take: People should be able to undertake one of the hardest personal decisions/actions of their life without the chilling effect of others.

And I also fear overburdened professionals not having time to second guess ML hallucinations.

I like to think a list like this is highlighting that you can enjoy being british without being one of the wankers you mentioned.
The less good ones of these are more wanker-lite.

I think it’s time for me to get into the soundproofing and triple glazing business.
