I am a streamer (twitch, see if you can guess my handle), an Author in training, I compose bad music, and create terrible art... you could call me a Jack of all trades... but that would not be my name.
Still... could be worse... hell, we've lived in worse, not by much, but definitely worse.

Agreed. I just wish there was somewhere in our price range to get out... shit, I would take a cave as long as we could get interwebs lol. Imagine being a cave troll with broadband lol

There's a takeaway truck outside ours that regularly fails to clean its oil, they cook with weeks old oil and fat from all the beef and pork they cook with, and that place positively smells lovely by comparison. This is the closest I have ever come to vomiting from a smell. My stomach hurts.

I wish I knew which apartment it was, cause I would go and cook for them every morning... cause they clearly do not understand that Rotten does not mean well seasoned. And I mean ROTTEN. The smell is worse than a dumpster left in the heat of the sun for three weeks filled with shit, meat, and milk.

Whilst those that can charge at home make serious savings, those that can't don't. Until public charging and home charging reach parity (in favour of home charging please), there's a serious block to overcome. Only a small number will be willing to pay more for EVs. Government intervention needed.

Now saying that, I will never drive an ICE again, ignoring the cost saving (which we don't get), the lower cognitive load from driving an EV, the superior driving experience, the fun of driving one, and the lower noise levels all beat ICE/Hybrid. Not even including environmental impacts.

We're risking turning EVs into another "Haves and Have Nots" technology (Solar, Home Batteries and Heat Pumps), where those that can afford it save money and can afford more, and those that can't lose out twice as much. Whilst we were able to get an EV, it hasn't saved nearly as much as it could've.

The government needs to do something for those in our position, otherwise others will be far less likely to switch. Public charging needs to cost far less. When 50p per kwh is considered cheap (it's not), there's something wrong with public charging.

Since we live in an apartment with no at home charging available (or possible unfortunately), our EV (Renault Zoe GT R135... lovely car, very under appreciated) costs about 15p per mile at best, 21p per mile at worst (Northern Ireland), way more costly than ICE, but we'll never go back regardless.

I guess it depends on the song... I personally love the Christmas Song by Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name, probably one of the best Christmas number 1's the UK ever had :)

A lot of my favourite songs are Death Metal or Classical, so they actually calm me down from bad moods... the real "please stop" ones hit hardest when I'm feeling depressed or remembering someone no longer with us, and the song amplifies it. Then again, I sleep to Death Metal, so I maybe warped.

We shouldn't have to mod a game to make it good or fix things wrong with it... but like Skyrim, and pretty much every game by Bethesda since Morrowind, it's what we get from them. Again, I enjoy it, but, it could have been SO much better. Again, they let accountants dictate games dev. Never works.

They added so many 'features', but spent so little time actually implementing them, asking IF they needed them, or asking if folks actually wanted them, that each feature requires moding heavily to work/be fun/have a use. Plus they removed things we actually wanted as gamers.

While I still play it occasionally, and actually enjoy it (had more story than FO4 or the Tech demo known as Skyrim imo), it's a classic example of 'Feature Creep'. If they had concentrated on mechanics and world building, rather than Elite No-Mans Skyrim Fallout Doom, it would've been much better.

Don't, there's a list somewhere with folks on it who do that... Allegedly.
Best to avoid kissing any minors (though Miners are ok I'm led to believe), or the Sun and Torygraph might start thinking you're one of theirs and call you electable.
Again, allegedly, for legal recourse purposes.

If your curry tastes less spicy than corn starch mixed with ketchup, You are the reason we cannot have nice foods. Hell, I would even settle for just herbs... nothing wrong with Italian or French cuisine, some tasty dishes come from there, but even they look at White People food and go Non

If you can use White Person MSG (Salt) like it's pomade and you're a seventies pornstar in a haircare commercial, you can use a few spices. Start off slow, try Ginger, Garlic, a little White Pepper... or maybe some Sumac, a little chilli, some Corriander, maybe just some lemon, but add something.

I don't want my food to taste like Joe Biden and Donald Trump on a golfing trip. I want my food to taste like Bruce Lee just kicked my tongue whilst wearing glass coated, inverted lemons, covered in fire and brimstone... or at the very least like it has seen at least one OFs Goth Girl tiktok ffs.

I'm not saying that my heat tolerance is high (though I do like to eat Trinidad Black Scorpion 🌶s), but I expect a sauce that claims to have Carolina Reapers in it, to at least have been made within a small galaxies radius of one... this sauce was so white, even Jamie Oliver thought it was bland.
