Without stamp duty, we'd probably consider moving to a bigger house. Now we extend instead (as forking out some 30k + moving expenses makes it financial folly to move).

Have a property tax if needed instead (I am not against that).

It's also not protected in the equality act, is it?

“there are Neville Chamberlain’s in every generation”

George Monbiot’s takedown of Matt Goodwin and the Reform party is a thing of beauty 👏 #bbcqt

What is being woke? It now seems to boil down to “believing that people who are not straight white men may be good at stuff too”

Sign with teaching intervals in minutes. The price per interval is inconsistent.

Inconsistent pay increments - I hate it!

At A&E with a family member who is now getting morphine for the pain

And the staff has ordered me out due to overcrowding, so I cannot be there to help her and ensure she is taken care of (which has so far been anything but a given).

What a complete joke of a health system.

Beginning to notice that the options: yes - later (rather than a 'no') is becoming more common.

It's just that other delivery companies get it right much more often...

And had they just mistaken our road and the one next to, but no (I checked the 5 nearest road to see if they'd left it there)

But if they cannot even get the road right, that's a significant problem for a delivery service...

I still sometimes get surprised by just how incompetent royal mail are.

I hear the words in the video, but I honestly hardly understand any of it :)

Is the genitive then Doctor Whose or Doctor's Who?

What a lovely suggestion - and one that doesn't really add workload to either students or staff (which is rather important to consider these days).

Thanks @abbis.bsky.social for directing my attention to it, as I had missed it!

Toilet door with sign: closed - but not for long.

So, week 1 after the sign 'closed, but not for long' went up in my local Bannatyne (toilet).

That was after the toilet had been out of order for a while with a normal out of order sign.

Let's see how long it takes :)

Threatening to go to war with Denmark feels like a sensible thing to do by a democratically elected leader...

A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found. Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....

The infiltrator’s name is John Williams.

To learn what he revealed about the paramilitary movement — and how a mole managed to become a senior leader in a major American militia — read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

As a non-jacked guy who can cook and make people laugh, I would say that in my experience this is correct if you're 30+.

But when I was 20, women were less impressed (and tended to prefer the non-cooking muscly dudes)...

Godt navn til en italiensk pornostjerne: Jizzeppe.

I actually needed one today (but had kept some of the newer cables, so no panic yet)

Today I threw out a bunch of old cables! Haven't used them in more than a decade.

Expect me to complain in the near future about needing a very specific cable that is difficult to get a hold on.

First spin of the new year - wasn't particularly motivated, and didn't push myself too much.

But it sure does feel nice (now that it's done).

Som i: åben pakken fra Knorr, hæld i gryde, rør rundt?

Unlocked a new piano skill today, learning the intro to Because (surprisingly easy, tbh, so probably prouder of myself than I ought to be :)

An hour at the trampoline park with the kids and I am ready to sleep for a fortnight.

Det er vel fair nok at nuancere begrebet fattigdom (fx er der vel forskel på madfattigdom, hjemløses fattigdom og så mere materiel fattigdom).

Problemet er, for mig, at højrefløjen kun ser et problem hvis folk sulter - og derfor bruger den definition til at sige vi ikke har fattigdom i Danmark.

Five cuddly teddies, all penguins, one with sparkly sequins.

'can't we cut out the designer and just ask the AI to create the new cuddly penguin?'

'Sure, no problems, boss!'
