I mean, it was supposedly from an ipsos poll, but he was maybe tied with them? I'm from the US looking in, but the general sentiment I always have heard was that he started out claiming to fix the issues the Tories caused, but backpedaled hard and ignored the wants of basically everyone in the voting base. This obviously backfired so badly that it messed up a lot of down ballot support for labour in the last elections, enough that the party basically had to force him out (behind the scenes obviously, labour didn't wanna seem "weak") and get Andy Burnham in (probably the most popular labour politician currently) to stop the bleeding.

No, he already announced he was standing down as PM (prime minister). What he is saying now is essentially "retiring from Parliament." Not super surprising, given he was quite literally the least popular PM of all time.

Probably, yeah. It seems like the newer they got the more points of failure they had. Not really sure about a year range just noticed that stuff like how the power cords used to be standard replaceable ones changed to hardwired ones. My opinion is to get one used more to save money, because if you're just using it to cook beans or the like there isn't too much of a benefit to getting a commercial one. If you're really worried about making it last decades (I wouldn't personally), then getting a non electric one probably would be preferable. I've seen old sears pressure canners still in use, but they do need newer seals every now and again. They just aren't as easy to break out if you're just making a quick meal though.

The only commercial grade pressure cookers I've heard of that are BIFL are the all American brand, and their electric sterilizer is very pricey but nice (came across it when I had a hyperfixation for growing mushrooms a while ago). But honestly, if you're just using it for cooking a used instant pot or even a ninja pressure cooker will be fine. I'm partial to instant pot, because I've had a couple (upgraded to bigger sizes), and some of the old ones are clearly made to last a surprising amount of time (and have in my experience).

I mean, it's not like it's gonna wrap up anytime soon, might as well get some points against Trump while they're at it...

Not particularly, no. A lot of tech people have been pushing the idea for years largely because it means that they would know what everyone would get on a monthly basis, and could adjust their subscription fees accordingly. The real solution is just to make society more equal, would effectively accomplish the same thing (at least in the US) if there were no more billionaires and public funds were properly allowed (ie Medicare for all) to improve the basics of society.

HTC m8 and m9. Those were such good phones...

"Oops, left a mess (had a crumb on the counter). $350 cleaning fee."

Yep. Head in the office did an interview with him a while ago (before we knew why Ken Martin didn't want to release the 2024 retrospective), and I remember thinking he just sounded like a guy tired of dealing with obvious bullshit.

My guess is it makes spoofing accounts seem more valid, also maybe boosts small time channels by creating (fake) engagement, so the YouTube algorithm picks up content from that channel. My "proof" is that when you see a shorts video with random top 5 family guy compilations (or other such bullshit), their comment section is usually filled with stupid responses like this (or asking what the source of the material is, despite it often being in the title).

Oh no, I'm aware (and really want a Suzuki jimny here, much better than a jeep in a similar form factor as you noted), but Jimmy and Jimny sound so similar that I would just cause confusion between the two brands, which is why I figured that would be why they didn't use the name.

 

Simple idea, basically uses ice as the storage medium for solar energy.

Found growing in a pot with a hibiscus plant, not entirely sure how it got there but the recent excessive rainfall has made it fruit.

 

Went on the Blue Ridge Parkway this week, and had a blast! The Parkway feels amazing with the top down, and all of the curves make for some interesting driving.

 

I recently took a trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway, and I got something I though y'all might enjoy along the way!
