I wonder what Juniper Jump would have to say about this.
I guess we'll never know.

The Interview that Trump didn't want you to see. And hopefully he's just Streisanded the shit out of this.

And the depends.

Most historians rank FDR in the top 3 US Presidents, and Trump even after his first term near the bottom.

Please don’t try to link these two with whataboutery. They are not in any way comparable.

Your logic seems to he that all the presidents whom weren’t perfect were the same.

They were not.

Trump has no Pearl Harbour to justify what’s happening with ICE. And no social or economic reforms that benefit the American people to put in his credit column.

Unlike Trump FDR didn’t focus exclusively on his own power and his own wealth.

FDRs internment of Japanese was not palatable. It was racist, and prejudiced and It should never have happened.

He at least could point to Pearl Harbour to Justify it. Though I don’t think it did but I wasn’t there.

FDR deserves credit for social/economic reforms.

Don’t forget Boo Radley.

One of the truly painful thing about this new world of solar/ev/batteries etc is the jumble of crap apps.

Technically yes. But so little in it it’s not worth charging the batteries just to empty them into the grid. I’m pretty sure the extra cycles on the batteries cost more than any theoretical profit.

I just installed a new charger that should put surplus solar into the car.

It isn’t working.

According to MyEnergi *AI*, my EV charger is not using the surplus solar available. Because it's waiting until Midnight-8am, my normal charging window.

Can anyone see a flaw in a "smart" charger ignoring surplus sunlight during the day, and waiting for surplus sunlight at night?

Hopefully just that.

Much damage?

Never in a million years would I have got that. I barely understood it with the answer.

For people who do cryptic all the time, there are repeating ideas (like the 'before' thing). But I've never had a patience for it.

Oh man, this one has many layers. I'd never have gotten it.

Excessively extended (Too Far or Far Too)
guff (Scottish - an unpleasant smell.)
before tea (oolong tea ties in with the oo in Far Too).

So, an unpleasant smell before oolong

Far Too Long

This is why I don't do cryptic.

Oh man Just saw your explanation.
Have you been rescued? You’re nearby I think. Do you want a flask of tea? Or somewhere warm to work for the day?

What? Where? Why? How?

My brother Garry has dementia and is currently lost somewhere in the Chester area. If anyone should spot him please call the police on 999. We'd appreciate reposts. @shitchester.bsky.social

The world just lost an absolute legend.

I was amazed when we had kids that there were dedicated soft play areas where kids could climb and jump and fall safely.

When I was a kid those things were called carpet showrooms.

Now Playing.

And slower in hospitals.

But that might just have been the crutches, I’d need a control subject to confirm.

God it's so depressing.

I didn't expect Labour to magically fix Britain.

But I thought maybe, a Labour government might provoke a sense of optimism and revival. And something might start to build. The push back against the Right might slowly gain some traction.

But....

Fucking Hell.

Actually is this account run by Morgan McSweeny?

This attitude that Labour can take the progressive Labour voters and MPs for granted while pursuing Reform voters that hate Labour and end up alienating both is basically the Labour play since getting elected.

But everyone else is wrong. Not them.

Hard to get answers to your questions when you mute.

So more interested in making a point than finding answers.

Understandable why you’ve found a home in Starmer’s Labour.

Yeah. No.

This government is not rectifying any mistake.

When you have quite young MPs in charge of negotiations saying it won’t happen in their lifetime the to claim they’re rectifying the problem is pure spin.

There will be no return to the divisions of the past. Labour is committed to going further than that. Under Labour Britain will return to being “The sick man of Europe”

Let me know how it goes. Always like to hear about whether bits of kit like this actually deliver.
