'D Notices', back in the day, were only ever a cosy gentleman's agreement thing.

Basically the government saying "this specific thing would cause us a bunch of grief if you published it - be good chaps and STFU, eh?"

Never had the force of law.

In the US, it depends greatly on the power being drawn by the lights and the current-rating (in amps) of the extension cord(s) in use.

I don't have any hands-on experience though, being a 240v-Brit. But I do watch @techconnectify.bsky.social and he explains well: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_q-...

Water will still wick up and keep the tree a little moist, making it much less flammable than a dried-out tree.

A dried-out tree will be more hazardous when paired with a minor electrical oopsie with lights, compared to a watered tree.

It exists and it's called "Clbre". Because they took the AI out of it.

I think the point would more be that ANYONE could call posts on their service "tweets".

When he was the Labour candidate, I voted for him.

Labour ... did stuff. To him, to their policy direction.

If Lloyd had remained their candidate last year, I might have voted for him in spite of his Party. But he didn't, so I voted Green instead.

Earlier this year, I joined GPEW.

Welcome Lloyd!

Hmm... Moxley has recently proven himself to be a submission specialist.

Because he just KEEPS ON SUBMITTING. Tap tap tap like he's practicing his Morse code.

I saw this and immediately thought of the wonderful and lovely @bengoldacre.bsky.social

Why, when "Trumpton" is RIGHT there?

That is a really inventive way to resolve advantage. I love it.

AEW gives me PPV-quality stuff on weekly TV, then somehow manages to crank it up even further for the actual PPVs.

White Brit here and I grew up with some non-related aunties and uncles. Basically my parents' good friends that were Effectively Family by strength of relationship rather than family tree.

It was just completely normal in my family. My parents were Auntie and Uncle for their kids, just the same.

Oh No It Isn't!

(Sorry, but SOMEONE was going to, and I am someone.)

ITV doesn't get any of that TV licence fee money.

ITV being where Peston's show is.

The ITV which is advertiser-or-subscription funded (people might choose to pay for ad-free ITVX).

You can SO EASILY not give ITV any money.

Only the 4Music BSL-signed version of Put A Donk On It is worthy of accolades.

That definitely tracks for me. If YP had crystallised in to something specific more quickly, it would probably have picked up my support.

But it has spent a long time being a vague amorphous blob - and during that time Zack has seized the opportunity to really energise the Greens.

It's also Nick Clegg's fault that those arts degrees (in England + Wales, at least) are a bunch more expensive than they used to be.

"Vote against any rise in fees" is the famous lie-line from his time in politics.

I have now found that ending. I appreciate that it acknowledges itself as such.
