Netflix. Price hikes with lesser content that no one in my house wants to watch. Subcriptions for occasional use stuff been purged since that.

There’s one little sign when you come out the tyne tunnel i think. Very easy to miss. Catches locals out as well who are casual users

Looking at the witness mark on the wall, i think it originally did

Thanks for this! Off to test now

No matter the heat source. Step one needs to be insulating our homes to reduce the requirement for heating and make some work anyway. Especially heat pumps.

Why doesn’t the UK gov have a clear strategy for this? Leaving it to the homeowner in a cost of living crisis and with increasing mortgage costs means the vast majority cant do it alone

Yeah so many people are guna be in the same boat. No chance of getting mine up to standard now without some heavy grants. Its a 1950’s ex council house an designed to be heated by a central fire

My boilers on its last legs so had a bit research on HP etc. Would love to fully electricify and get rid of the gas. Basically i need to spend thousands upgrading my insulation etc 1st before i could even think of spending the fortune needed on the HP itself. I don’t see how its doable without solar panels and a battery tbh.

In the end its worked out cheaper to install a wood stove in the front room as a stop gap as I get the money together to upgrade everything needed. Which tbh might never happen now all my cash has been drained away to nothing on energy bills and cost of living. Plus mortgage interest rates.

So my glorious vision of a more economical and eco friendly home has seen me turn medieval instead due to crippling finances

We’ve some similar nefarious influences that would love our media to descend to the full depths of some of the American ‘entertainment’ news media. But were not quite there yet and its still a fringe atm.

So sitting politicians doing backdoor propaganda still isn’t allowed by the watchdog.

I’ve also been using your eyes, usually

Yep but the point is the 1.2% represent millions of gene pairs and the ones we share are not always present or expressed in the same way. So just sharing genes doesn’t necessarily mean were the same or they do the same thing.

Yeah chimps are one of our very few (very very) distant cousins left. But i think they rip more faces off than us

Pigs (98%) and bananas (60%) are often quoted examples. Not sure about worms

human and chimp DNA is 98.8 percent the same

Yep usual tired old script

“Your evidence is no match for my ideology! Stop it!” Or something something look tough on lazy/scroungers/insert stereotype blah

Yeah were in the best position of all the big social media companies really and have spectacularly underperformed compared to the rest. Then display company policy management by hand grenade. Poor attempt

I do know what you mean and agree in those cases. Some of it is effectively spam. Probably created as a middle finger to reddit rather than desperately wanting to contribute something on lemmy

Big bird

Yeah we know all this. Could have saved the paper the report was printed on ha

Seems fine to me. The news ones I’m subsrcibed to means I don’t actually miss anything that I found reddit was useful for
