Productivity remains unchanged, i’m all for it.

yeah but the only reason it happened was because you use ring mains.

aint’ nothing going to convince me that shit belongs in the 21st century.

in my house? shuts the overloaded circuit down. Because every damned one has an RCD with an overcurrent detector

Ok. What happens if you pull 15amp load on a 10a circuit?

Edit sksksk you really didn’t like that question, huh?

Eh, the fusing on the plug is a dealbreaker for me, especially with that load potential

Other features are present in AU (three pin safety, switched outlets, etc)

They’re landlords, they’d use a passing sparrow as an excuse to raise rents

Agree on both - pratchett is amazing, but many of his key insights are almost reserved for wham lines or comedic bits (see: rude mechanicals, colon & nobby) as he focuses on plot or - as you said - the bigger picture. Interestingly enough this doesn’t happen in the Johnny books and is severely downgraded in the bromeliad and good omens.

King has humans humaning about having things happen to them

Fuck. The. Investor. Class.

Kubrik is an arsehole who literally destroyed duvall’s psyche. For a fucking movie. I don’t respect him.

When a man gets a taste of the violence and terror he’s inflicted on over 30 victims…yeah.

Not at all. A 12 year old dog is senior and quite often decrepit (dependant on breed) A 14 year old cat is currently hanging off my ceiling fan chittering at a moth while her 12 year old daughter stalks it from a bookcase

not only that, but by using munged language like that you’re effectively making peoples blocklists on trigger words utterly fucking useless.

nah, it’s a moral panic.

Is reels being castigated? Youtube shorts? They do the exact same dopamine microdosing and attention span buttfucking. The practises aren’t being addressed, or their deleterious effects - in fact it would be incredibly easy to ban what tiktok does rather than the app itself, but they’re not doing that. it’s a moral panic drumbeat that conveniently opens the door to fuck other social media.

The dude was Waffen-SS.

That is not only very much an elective organization, you have to really want it.

The dude was a fucking nazi.
