@alexf24@mstdn.social @nobrainnopain@social.tchncs.de @kibcol1049@mstdn.social @tiggy@mastodonapp.uk @Fasgadh@mastodon.scot Ah1 Britain. You are not 100% correct. Whilst we measure in metric we don’t for tyres/wheels (inches), Television screen (inches) distance (miles or yards), many imbibable liquids, (Pints of milk or beer) eggs (dozen or half dozen) and many market traders in fruit and veg use pounds and ounces for us oldies.

@sashag@anarres.family But I guess that if they have dogs they are small ones/ My Labrador likes to sit up and look out the rear window and coupe roofs don’t allow that.

@josh@hactivedirectory.com @cjust@infosec.exchange @aspeed@lgbtqia.space as a Brit I find Trump’s views on the media useful. It means the ones he hates are telling the truth.

@josh@hactivedirectory.com @cjust@infosec.exchange @aspeed@lgbtqia.space good job he is an expert on AI.

@labbatt50@mastodon.world @PopTarts@gaygeek.social @TheMNWolf@furry.engineer @kibcol1049@mstdn.social if you still feel the same joy at using them as you did years ago I guess you are very young as older folk have lost higher frequencies in hearing.

@noybeu@mastodon.social they are said to be legitimate interest.

@eric@geldmacher.io @peter@social.linss.com @alice@lgbtqia.space As a CIS man I am obviously a bit thick. I have no idea if the people I meet are gay or straight unless they tell me and same with trans folk unless it is blindingly obvious. i also can’t tell the religion of people I meet for the same reasons.

@sashag@anarres.family We use three cheese shops. One in Nantwich in Cheshire has a real mix of British and overseas cheeses, a deli in Church Stretton in Shropshire has unusual British cheeses and one in Guilsfield in Powys Wales has a good range of Welsh cheeses. I believe UK has more varieties of cheese than France.

@sashag@anarres.family But I have a daughter wearing size 9 shoes and a granddaughter over 6 feet tall. neither are trans but the first had a dad and brother with big feet, the latter a tall father.

@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk Can France, Belgium and the UK charge for the Channel/La Manche.

@robtherunt@cupoftea.social sorry - wrong person. Apologies. Old fingers.

@robtherunt@cupoftea.social at 4am? The sparrow squark not the prettiest but they nest here every year and are welcome.

@robtherunt@cupoftea.social I am in rural North Wales at present. A lot of birds but only one blackbird at dawn and during the day - bar the hungry sparrows just leaving the nest.

@alex_p_roe@mastodon.world @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us She has taught Nepalese women the English words for parts of their bodies as Doctors speak English so good communication. Makes friends wherever she goes. She is definitely not Reform she has made clear. My suggestion when and if she ever returns to UK is in and MPs office as an aide but she has a work visa in Canada for another 18 months so may try similar there.

@alex_p_roe@mastodon.world @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us Hang on - the worst studied PPE at Oxbridge. So qualified.

@DieGesellschafterinLang@swiss.social it is in many countries.. Grey water, that’s water from washing etc can be used but you need a large amount of storage and pumping. Of course many people put drinking water on their plants but there I use well water.

@missnfranchised@glitterkitten.co.uk @jbjrkng@hachyderm.io if you use Microsoft Solitaire collection you have to prove you are an adult in the UK. I ran out of patience.

@emmeline@swiss.social Lovely to see that. The wheat field on 2 sides of our house is sprayed into submission. No poppies and precious few insects so few birds.

@alex_p_roe@mastodon.world @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us her partner did pure politics. She has travelled SE Asia, Australia on her own, taught in Nepal and Poland. At the moment she is on Canadian Mountain running a sort of cross between a helter shelter and a big dipper whilst partner working in a bike hire shop in the city below. She’s shelf stacked, been Bar maid, driven an Ocado van. I feel she is adding to her taught subjects with experience of the World., I reckon that’s a good skills portfolio for a politician.

@alex_p_roe@mastodon.world @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us My granddaughter read Politics but with Sociology at Uni which i think is a good mix.

@annehargreaves@ioc.exchange @christineburns@mastodon.green @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us Oddly I double checked and they have disappeared and only more recent ones are there. I found my mum was;t good at going back for booster injections in the 50s.

@christineburns@mastodon.green @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us my vaccination record goes back to 1949.

@jaycee@toot.community both forming his people into a team and being scared of nobody.

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io The task is enormous. So many posts, so much that would cause a normal person monitoring to have nightmares.

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt handy if in a ménage a trois.

@sashag@anarres.family antihistamine cream.

@webertalalpakas@social.saarland the alpacas in our village are taken around care and old people’s homes - at least the two best behaved. I sponsor one born on my birthday last year and named Violet after my late mother. Love the manure they produce for the vegetable garden.

@SnowyCA@social.vivaldi.net of course bank computers use energy but they are doing something useful.. Crypto computers doing loads of work with no real result

@skeyby@punk.kitchen @ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk In cold weather I guess you use the petrol more with electric heating. In my EV my long distance run charging seems always to coincide with the need for a pee and coffee. Tesla chargers are not that much more expensive than peak rate at home and many allow non Teslas

@Subbiesandwich@mesmerized.online @alice@lgbtqia.space @deviantollam@defcon.social My wife was picking her teeth when I first met her. Then she went into the pawnbrokers and bought them.

@petergleick@fediscience.org when, having solar and batteries, I bought an EV which I charge at home, my total electricity bill went down even in mid Winter as I can charge the solar batteries at night in cheap rate.

@gbargoud@masto.nyc @futurebird@sauropods.win what did Santa give you?

@SnowyCA@social.vivaldi.net I use crypto - not one of those energy hungry rip offs. I rarely see cash so my £ is crypto and the wallet is safe with my bank and its value rarely crashes.

@DAIR@dair-community.social @alex@dair-community.social @emilymbender@dair-community.social Back in the early 80s in the time of CPM and 8 inch floppies there was a piece of software marketed called “The Last One” as it claimed this would write all your software for you.

@NH6SP@mastodon.radio Long wire doubling as a clothes line?

@kagan@wandering.shop @morganth@social.tchncs.de Try playing Ride of the Valkyries next to them.

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt Oo arr

@jack_daniel@mastodon.social could do with that on Apple devices. Why there is no equivalent is a mystery.

@sashag@anarres.family I bought a book on Lepidoptera. Very disappointing. The title was Guide for young Mothers.

@robtherunt@cupoftea.social According to a grandson the Uni and town seem not too separate in your old place of work.

@skeyby@punk.kitchen Yes far more expensive than at home but usually far cheaper than its competitor charger companies. But is it true that home charging in Italy is not as easy as other places as houses don’t normally have large electricity supplies? My house fused at 80 amps. 18.4 kWh.

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt ouch.

@feijoa@mastodon.org.uk a bit early. To get the full benefit, despite the ROSCOs who own the trains, there needs to be the impact of a proper national system so rolling stock purchases are not just for one area and released stock can easily be used elsewhere. Platforms aren’t the same height. main line curves aren’t;t the same so shorter carriages are needed on midlands main line. Couplings are not scandalised so one train of a different type can pull a broken down one.

@atomicker@mstdn.ca but some of the profits will also be given back to the country in licences and taxes. It’s the balance that has to be right. Basically those are the interest on the government’s investment and if they are crafty when a non investor wants to use it the state gets a bigger cut.

@ProPublica@newsie.social That sign on Trump’s backside?

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net I criticised the CID, CAA, DHSC, DEFRA, BBC, ITV for using TLAs. Got stuck for an acronym to give to five letter and four letter acronyms. RJL

@joelvanderwerf@mastodon.social and I thought Americans didn’t understand irony.
