I've scribbled something about the potential 3p per mile electric vehicle charge in the UK.

That last one was the elephant in the room!

Some observations. Mileage is ALREADY shown against MOT data in the online dotGov checker. No need to add additional work for garages. How do you know what part of that mileage is on private land? Why have one system for EV & another for liquids, seems like there is a cost saving to be had here.

18 U.S. states now have local guaranteed income pilots that are proving that UBI works.

It cuts poverty, boosts stability, and respects dignity. The question isn’t if we can do #UBI. It’s when we’ll scale it.

They probably can’t source/enrich enough fuel.

Two things came in at the bifurcation: Thatcherism, and the microprocessor. I think the latter was much more significant and influential.

We need Universal Basic Income.

I can live without practise sessions as I’m typically in work when they’re on.

I refuse to pay Β£20pcm extra to watch F1 on Sky. BBC Sports app gives me excellent commentary for quali and race. VPN gives me video to match. Both using services I’m already paying for.

Streaming services - never mind a 'Skip Intro' or 'Skip Recap' option. We need a 'Skip What's Coming Up' option. The first 5 mins (at least) on programmes showing us what's going to happen are the worst thing ever invented in the tv industry. Just let me watch with no spoilers.

For β€œAll options are on the table” read β€œI/We donβ€˜t know what the fuck to do!”

Delete as appropriate.

Do you think world leaders have a β€œnot Donald chat”?

09.04.2025 07:32 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

For example… the β€œnot dad chat” is most likely talking about me and either how annoying I can be sometime or what to get me for my birthday/fathers day this year.

We have a number of chat groups in our dispersed family, if we want to share certain memes or maybe plan surprises for family members that explicitly exclude that one family member.

Do you?

Preppers have been waiting for civilization to collapse.

They thought the pandemic would do it but now it looks like they voted in someone to bring it about.

Does anyone remember that really old movie, where the President of the USA falls ill and is replaced by a really nice guy who who looks just like him?!

Your smartphone is not a fidget toy. Put it out of reach but not out of earshot.

Worth pointing out that Sir Keith’s announcement today is for NHS **ENGLAND**.

Wales has it’s own NHS that is managed differently.

The money cycle should be made to be like the water cycle or carbon cycle. Keep it moving, don’t hoard it and don’t magic it out of nowhere with β€œcreative accounting”.

Oh and don’t forget. Everyone should be on UBI too.

Inflation disappears because those charging ever higher prices will seen for the bad businesses they really are, forcing them to fold.
