We have our black bin collected fortnightly and we usually half-fill it. Three of us and pets.
Our kitchen bin only really is used for non-recyclable plastic and pet waste. Everything else goes in the food bin or recycling wheelie bin. Our recycling wheelie bin is usually completely overflowing, whereas many of my neighbours completely overfill the black bin and barely even bother with the recycling and food bins.
The situation is awful currently; there’s a definite need for a complete rethink. I’m not sure what the NHS’s waiting time measurement is based on, but my anecdotal experience isn’t even close. I mean, I’d love to be only waiting 9 months - My son’s autism assessment was recently pushed back until around 2026, and we’ve been waiting for multiple years already since we were referred by a pediatrician.
We only really need the assessment so he gets proper support in school. Ideally there’d be some sort of needs-based occupational health assessment available without the requirement of a diagnosis.
Government should only be afraid of losing the next election - they should never be afraid of their life or family’s life for doing their job.
Politicians need to balance opinions from different groups of people, so even the best politicians can never please everyone all of the time. Taking choices you disagree with does not mean they should be afraid for their lives.
As much as I disagree with many choices of politicians, they should never be threatened in any way.
That ending! Holy crap it’s happening!
Well, it looks like reverting to Stable seemed to at least partially fix it for me. The keyboard is still higher on the screen, but at least it fits to the screen width correctly. Thanks!
I couldn’t find any mention of anyone else with this issue around the web or on valve’s GitHub issue tracker, so I assumed it was something dumb I’d done rather than a bug.
I am currently on the latest beta - I’ll test the stable/preview channels in case that makes a difference.
My son is on a 5 year waiting list… maybe we should holiday in Ukraine this year 🤔
This is getting boring; there’s been so many articles about this over the last few weeks.
Starmer’s and Reeves’ statements about this do not totally contradict. They’ve both said they want to invest, but they’ve decided that they won’t staple themselves to the £28bn figure due to the Tories fucking shit up in the economy. I can’t say I necessarily agree with this, but that’s what has happened.
How did the giants find out about the Sun God? Did Morgans mention Nika in the newspaper or something?
Measures like Google Family Link already exist if parents choose to use them.
I don’t think legislation restricting what young people can do online would necessarily help. It’s illegal for kids to take drugs and drink alcohol yet it still happens. Whatever measures are put in place, there’s usually a way around.
They intentionally removed this feature years ago. It was possible to reenable via a dconf setting for a while but I believe that was also eventually removed.
So annoying.
The M25 is a motorway (70mph highway/Interstate) which circles around London. It’s illegal to ride bikes on any motorway, and there are no bike lanes on motorways, nor should there be. And I say that as a cyclist.
In this case, there is no good reason a cyclist should be on the M25 - there’s almost definitely a quicker and calmer way to get to where you need to, without bypassing around London.
Where are you getting your figures from?
Jimmy Carr usually gives his most “offensive” jokes plenty of context and explanation, wrapping them in a disclaimer of “I’m about to say something considered offensive, but the joke is funny for these reasons…”
Gervais often simply punches down without any regard or care. As with most standup, it is almost certainly a persona of sorts, but plenty of people can easily come away with the impression he is being genuine.
Yeah, this isn’t that bad. It’s just a suggestion after running an apt upgrade. NPM has similar plugs which I don’t find too annoying.
In fact its not even as intrusive as NPM’s funding requests, as it is only 2 lines of text, plus it looks like Ubuntu Pro is free for personal use.
I’m on the fence about all this. In a utopia, a ceasefire would be ideal of course, but Israel aren’t going to listen to suggestions like that, especially when they believe that a ceasefire would be a risk for them in terms of allowing Hamas to regroup. Whether that is a real risk I don’t know, but either way I can’t see a ceasefire happening in the immediate future until Israel have completed their objectives, regardless of what pressure comes from the UK.
The “humanitarian pauses” do make sense to me, as it would save lives whilst allowing Israel to keep their tactical advantage over Hamas.
But it seems Israel won’t even do the bare minimum of a pause in bombing civilians, so what chance do we have of a ceasefire?
I understand the principled side of standing up for a ceasefire even if it seems unlikely, but the government’s (and Keir’s) POV does also make a kind of sense, to save Palestinian lives in a way that Israel is more likely to agree to.
