Netflix is very pushy about cancelling

In the UK, you can phone the bank and ask them to block Netflix payments. Some banks even let you do that from their app already. Its called a recurring card payment. Just changing your card (for instance reporting the card lost) doesn't work cos all banks helpfully tell Netflix your new card numbers to save you the hassle. You don't even have to let Netflix know at all.

Why Toyota Is Intentionally "Falling Behind" On EVs | Morning Brew (10:10)

well for a start it produces 0 gas emissions at point of use. we still have to sort out tyre fragments and brake dust, and ensure the electricity grid is non-polluting too. but every hybrid car is burning petrol or diesel, just the same as we've been doing for the last 100 years or so. recent research in the uk has shown that plug-in hybrids are often not plugged in because it's too much bother.

it only works if you both have the 'RCS' chat option enabled within your sms app. so if you switch your rcs to off, you won't be able to edit your sent texts and senders will not be able to change messages you've received. however, rcs messages are often faster than standard sms.

What kettle should I get? My one has just gone to kettle heaven

I have a super low-wattage one, its 600w. That means it boils water quite slowly BUT.... even on a cloudy day, my solar panels create enough free electricity to run it. So free cups of tea! I also fill a mug with water, pour that into the kettle and boil it - not one unnecessary drop of water is heated. I'm very pleased with my setup. (If I had a 3000w standard kettle I'd get my drink 5 times faster but would need to pay to import the power unless it was a really sunny day).
