So I was curious about this, and asked my barber (yesterday) how much the aircon he had installed was.

I was told the unit costs (~£1600) were exceeded by the install/labour, and that all they did was the unit fitting & plumbing/pipe to the external unit. An electrician had to be separately hired to wire it all up.

So I’m conservatively guessing somewhere around 3.5k all in.

For one of those normal units, I’d estimate as about 70x25cm, cooling an area less than my living room.

I’d say anyone looking for a trade in the UK right now, would be wise to skill up on doing it as a one stop shop, and cash in for the next decade.

Despite these concessions, dozens of Redditors promised to stop using the site altogether without access to their favorite browsing apps. But according to data from the website analytics firm SimilarWeb, traffic has largely remained consistent to the platform, aside from a pronounced dip during the blackout

Dozens of us!

Came here to recommend nuking it with Linux to get a much slicker experience but I see everyone else had the same idea.

Also gtf off chrome.

These marketing types shouldn’t be allowed to call anything ‘indestructible’ until they’ve given it to my kid to play with for a week.

Tiktok afterwards please.

These apps seem to encourage ‘transactional’ behaviour. Less so in my experience irl. Best formula someone gave me was: get involved with something you enjoy, a club or activity. Meet people through this. Get to know them with the pressure off (as you’re enjoying whatever the activity is). Meet people through activities to form proper relationships, was his take.

I’d love to know if this has actually worked for someone.

Whoa…

My grandmother had her own vegetable garden, and kept a full pantry, rotating out canned, preserved and dried food properly, had candles, water collection, all sorts of stuff.

What they call prepping nowadays was once simply common sense.

I feel this will become more mainstream in decades to come.

The mallninja knives and other such fluff are bizarre though.

Would’ve loved this to be real.

The App Store reviews though. Great stuff.

Lol what. As a parent, school times are when you can actually get shit done. Half term/school holidays are when you have the least free time.

This is of course assuming one doesn’t have staff, as she clearly will. What unmitigated bollocks.

Another great snip:

a phone designed in China, made in China, with the vast majority of parts sourced from China. I’m failing to find any stirring of American pride within me. I’ve certainly felt it before, so I can confirm that it is absent at this time.

Ok I’m sorry for the hyperbole but this is the first time I’ve seen this.

This, is a work of modern shitposting art.

Bravo.

First he came for escrow services, and I said nothing, because I didn’t know anything about escrow services.

Then he came for cars, and I’m not a huge car kinda guy so meh.

Then he came for rockets, and a rocket scientist I am not.

Then he did something, I think, about tunnels. Who knows about tunnels? Anyone?

And then he came for software/social media, and I, and a whole shedload of people happen to know a fair bit about software and social media, and then we knew he was an idiot, and it was too late.

In b4 politics…

Savage 😂

I used to love your card games before you got all political. Your mom used to love you before you got so fucking stupid.

lol

Happened to me on a recent trip to a country well known for crime.

Your luggage is lost sir, you’ll have to fill in a form.

My luggage is about 15m away behind that wall. Here, see this map. Go get it.

10 min later: Oh your luggage is here sir. Terribly sorry.

Not sure if incompetence or shenanigans but I got my luggage back.

Sorry I was busy this weekend.

It is normal to disrupt and jam all communication ahead of an invasion.

IEDs, tactical comms etc.
