Haven't used the smart power strip from them but have their smart sockets and have never had an issue

Fine my end, may not be loaded fully for you. :)

 

Removed the awful decaying bamboo screening, and replaced rotten sections of decking boards. I wasn't able to get an exact match, so the thickness and groove pattern are slightly different. I'll probably use some spacers to level them out.

The fence I went round the other side and reattached any loose boards with decking screws.

I used the pressure washer to remove a lot of the old flaking paint, then brushed and vacuumed the old flakes away, then sprayed with a decking sprayer. Just the screwfix no nonsense garden paint and decking stain for the fence and deck respectively, really impressed by the coverage and colour and how easily it went on, even on the bits I had to do with a brush to avoid getting overspray on neighbours' fences and sheds.

Overall quite pleased with the result. It's an old deck so it'll never look new but hopefully it'll give it a good few more years.

Speed cameras aren't surveillance.

But it can't accommodate that speed, people get injured and killed. Hence why they roll out the 20 zones. The average UK main road is like 1/3 the width of a North American residential cul-de-sac remember.

UK highways departments have had essentially zero budget for 2+ decades now. There's no funding to completely retrofit every single residential street to match the new signage. Most of them are already incredibly narrow and tight compared to your average North American street.

I'll take a look, cheers. Got an Raspberry Pi lying about somewhere I could use

I signed up for this month's ago and I'm still not in. Every time I log into the app to check my waitlist, I'm some random number in the 3000s, and not always lower than last time. Why is this do you know?

I assume the Siri and Google assistant white noise just download the 20 min file when you ask and just repeat that. Whereas an 8h podcast of a 20 minute repeated sound will use 8h of bandwidth

Shared paths are more dangerous to use if you're going at any speed. Motorists aren't looking for cyclists when driving over them into side roads and driveways, and cyclists lose priority at every side road.

The rider didn't brake a single UK traffic law

In the UK filtering between lanes is both legal, encouraged, and widely accepted on both motor bikes and bicycles

 

 

 

I'm subscribed to quite a few communities now but my subscribed feed is still pretty barren. Whether I sort by hot or active I'm seeing the same few posts a lot of the time, often with very few upvotes or comments. I also see months old posts popping up again and again. There is a post on one community with -39 score from 8 months ago that I see every time I open the app. And one from 3 years ago with one comment from months ago.

All feed isn't much better for me either.

 

 

 

Had some Pesto left over from dinner, decided to try an old tiktok trend. You just coat a frying pan with pesto, and on a medium low heat just crack some eggs into it and fry them in the pesto. Super easy and super tasty!

 

 
 
 

Interesting fungus. Sadly full of maggots as you can see in the photo, so nothing for the dehydrator today.
