Stopped at an M&S food place on the way back from working on the boat yesterday. Very knackered and verging on hypoglycaemic, and the only fizzy drinks they had in were sugar feee ones.
And Iโm like, cut the moralising, you pricks. Sometimes you really fucking need sugar.

TERFs and bedbugs: One is very fond of mattresses and sucks the life out of their victims, living a life of obligate parasitism.
The other is an insect.

Interesting question just came up re driving in the UK on Reddit. Someone wants to go from the M11 to the A3 and asks which way round the M25 they should go. These roads are pretty much equidistant regardless of whether you go clockwise or anti-clockwise round London.
Thatโs the route we take to Scarlet, so I have opinions on this. Go clockwise from the M11 and you encounter the Dartford crossing. This is a toll crossing, and is often very congested.
Go anti-clockwise and you pass the Heathrow section.
For me, there is no contest. Pay the damn toll. It may be annoying to have to put up with the Dartford crossing, but the Heathrow section of the M25 is the very arsehole of hell and to be avoided at all costs.
Interestingly, most commentators felt the same.
This post is addressing a specific TERF. Iโm pretty sure she hate-reads me, and I think itโs important to note that, and I want to be very clear on this:
I still think youโre akin to a bedbug or a pubic louse.
You come at the queen or her friends, you better not miss, asshole.

I see your smirky sailor, and raise you a smirky stageworker / theater lighting tech.
It's definitely one of those skills when you see someone doing it wrong it's a hard fight not to fling yourself across the room and tackle them "NO NO NO NO NO! WRONG WRONG WRONG! GIMME THAT"

Thinking about heat pumps, since there's been waffle on the radio about them recently. My mental model of a heat pump is that you have unit(s) outside, and aircon unit(s) indoors which you can run either to cool or heat your preferred rooms.
However, what's being talked about on the radio seems to consist of hooking a heat pump up to replace your gas boiler and warm your radiators. Is this more effective or efficient? It seems to me that as the chances of hot weather increase you'll want to cool your house for some of the year, and this doesn't do that.
indeed, not helped by the giant mass of poured concrete that the pipes are set into.
However, it's unobtrusive, no radiators on walls, warm floors are lovely in winter and the house stays pretty much constant temperature.

Reddit can be a useful knowledge base, but there are certain subject areas where the consensus voice will confidently, clearly, emphatically state something that is simply wrong.
My current irritation is r/sailing, which has a large number of people who have clearly never sailed beyond the yacht club bar, or maybe a small lake, and have precisely zero clue about the interplay between wind and current (because they never experience the latter), spouting off bullshit with authority.
And thereโs no point arguing with them, but my god, the extent to which they are smug about being wrong is irritating as fuck.
Just looked at M&S Per Una for the first time in a decade and, OMG you guys, itโs got really really gay.
Utterly, profoundly, homosexual.

@Maria Karlsen When I say none of it makes any difference, I'm specifically talking about the effect individual actions have on climate change. To a first approximation, this is zero, and has little scope for it to be any other number.
I agree that we can very definitely make a difference in how people feel, and this is the source of my complaint: the constant stream of "we are all going to die, because we are filthy eco-sinners" articles just make people feel like shit.
It's basically doom and gloom protestantism, but with the climate playing the role of their god.

But maybe this is just laziness; remembering a set of things to CW is probably significantly easier than getting individualsโ pronouns right, which I regard as mandatory brain work.

Looking forward to how insufferable the British will be after the gulf stream collapses, and we're having tropical summers and Arctic winters!

To be honest it's such a simple marque it does not surprise me that it's already in use. I would have expected some social media business to have used it by now. Trying to find even complex names that are unique is very challenging.
It's almost like Twitter was actually a valuable brand . . .
