@jeffowski my mum was a SA soldier and she loved everybody. She was at our house once with one of our foster daughters when that girls father popped in. My mum got on famously with him and afterwards when being told that he had done time for murder said she judged people on what they were not their labels
@gareth@Disputatore@Sarahw@vfrmedia@kibcol1049 after the mileage charge still just 5 or 6p per mile but look at the cost of home batteries. You can charge them at the 7p rate too. Mine have reduced my electricity bill so the car costing a negative rate per mile
@Disputatore@gareth@Sarahw@vfrmedia@kibcol1049 batteries are complicated . I can only use the UK situation. Solar on its own will pay back quickly if you get a good rate for export and, as in your country, loads of sun. Batteries are expensive and add to the years of payback. They are more a reaction to ever increasing electricity price rises rather than quick returns
@moz@tessarakt@benlockwood I don’t think the police want to do this. Why make it harder as they will then harden their attitude as they get pissed off for the 50th time that day. The fight is with the government not the police. Hopefully a new Home Secretary will see the problem and act
@christineburns@Natasha_Jay As an apprentice in PO Telephones in the 60s I learned this was normally caused by people picking up the handset with one hand and putting it down with the other. On complaints after a few promotions I taled a few people how to remove the kink using a pencil
@inthehands they are wrongly described as tariffs. They are an additional sales tax on anything imported. A consumer tax designed to force Americans to give up products they have bought for years or pay a massive tax on them
@TimWardCam@WittyDragon@kibcol1049 just had my letter from Farage just in time for recycling collection. But I am registered with mailing preference service. He addressed his envelope to me by name. Reform is a company not a political party so he’s breaking the law
@goatsarah I am CIS but I cannot understand this illogical trans hatred. I guess it is like racism and hate a minority to stir the rabble but totally utterly baseless. I wouldn’t have known you were trans without you telling me. Makes no difference, two happy women enjoying themselves
@georgetakei in the Uk we had a washing powder called Lux. Their ad said “ if it’s safe in water it’s safe in Lux”. They got a complaint that started “about my goldfish”
@christineburns@ChrisMayLA6@Nicovel0 Tesla batteries are very different to those of other car makers so a factory can serve more than one manufacturer. Nissan has a battery factory and Jaguar Rover getting one. As for lithium I gather the only UK source so far is in abandoned mines in Cornwall
@goatsarah I joined at age 71. Not noticed transphobia. There was the leader who was against same sex marriage and one MP is bisexual. Not detected transphobia
