Creepy, I too had a video popup on YT about it. Really sweet idea though around the memento for your cat!
3·4 days agoOh wow, that’s cheap! It’s £3.15 for a dozen large eggs here, so I think that’s $4.15USD, $5.80CAD!

5·7 days agoThis was my mistake and you’re right. I had read as part of an announcement in the news that Ethanol is used for beer, wine, and spirits. Seems I wasn’t the only fool.
Just one possible example would be that Ethanol is used in making beer, wines, and spirits. If pre-pandemic it was found people were socialising after work more than they are now, the consumption of those things would have been greater compared to now. I imagine they will want people socialising more after work to buy more booze to make the most of the imported Ethanol.
With the latest ethanol trade deal with the US, I can only imagine there is going to be another big push to eliminate WFH/hybrid working in a lot of businesses.
That’s right, us peasants shouldn’t be at home with our families and loved ones, we should be working long hours, sitting in traffic or stood waiting for another late train, and then spending what we’ve earned on drowning our frustrations of the hamster wheel we’re on at the end of the day.
I’m really hoping this whole push to get everyone back in to the office is a generational thing from the boomers, and once they’re finally retired we can see a new shift in the workplace. But then that is probably being too optimistic.
I’m surprised the BBC didn’t include the national insurance changes around Indians coming to the UK not having to pay NI in the first 3 years, and vice versa for UK people going to India. Seems like a fairly big part of the deal that no doubt Reform/Tories will latch onto to bring the anti-immigrantion lot to a frothing rage.

I bought a £6 metal one, it’s only a small one as I still have plenty of mobility. I imagine if you have a bad back or reduced mobility you’d want a longer one. I think the brand was called Zomake? I bought it many years ago, it’s still in great condition apart from the logo wearing off.
I know I may seem old for saying this, but I highly recommend getting a decent metal shoehorn. Makes putting on shoes a breeze, and no need to wreck your fingers or do that foot-heel pumping thing. The backs of my trainers last so much longer now too!
9·11 days agoFortunately I’m not invested in the MCU as much as I once was. Probably worth chucking the spoiler in some spoiler tags though?
Actually maybe not? At this point I don’t know…
I think you’re right, they know it’s a problem and they agree something needs to be done. There is a lot connected to it and it has a large impact on the image of the politicians.
Back when I was 15 I had a gf that was basically nocturnal. She’d throw shit at me (e.g. scissors, a knife, a fork) while I was sleeping if I was breathing too loud. If the internet died in the house she would wake me up to try and fix it.
Strange that they include Kraven Hunter in the list but not Madame Web which had a greater loss of like $100m?

Unfortunately there is a pyramid scheme in place filled with fools that think they can become that one and are willing to fight against those “beneath” them.
You’re right, she was portrayed as pretty weak in the movies. I feel like she almost took the role of Jubilee when comparing with the original cartoon. But also she did have her moments of weakness in the original cartoon.
I wish people would all collectively agree that employers should have to pay for commute time to their offices. I would like to think this would quickly bolster WFH.
