It’s been rather hot and I needed to get some painting done. That was not ideal. Otherwise good.

What about you?

How are you all getting on with the heat today? in c/casualuk@feddit.uk
[–] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 4 points 3 weeks ago

I have four installed units, which have plenty of cooling power to keep the house nice and cool. On sunny summer days our solar panels produce excess electricity anyway, so cooling the house comes free.

Investing in air conditioning was one of the better decisions of my past self.

Isn’t this just another one to the pile of his war crimes? It’s remarkable how Boris Johnson somehow managed to be even shittier than the war criminal Blair.

Ban on controversial NDAs silencing abuse: The Employment Rights Bill will ban employers from using non-disclosure agreements that silence workplace harassment and abuse. in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

Harassment is a criminal offence in the UK. No NDA will survive a legal challenge when it comes to a crime. Of course, the psychological pressure of an NDA will stop many victims on their tracks, so from that point of view this hopefully helps.

Stop it! Everything does not need to be turned into advertising.

I bought access to the stream of the Black Sabbath’s Back to the Beginning concert, hooked it to my audio system, cranked volume to 11, and opened a cold beer (well, a good few). That was an amazing concert!

It was nice that they had Bill Ward on drums and played their last ever live performance with the original lineup.

And if you can reuse that plane that’s a bonus.

Unfortunately the article does not explain how it got there as I’d really like to know. Anyway, you can’t park it there, mate.

What’s the best concept album? (feddit.uk)
 

I just played American Idiot and The Wall from start to finish. For me, both are absolute masterpieces. I wouldn’t be able to say which is better than the other.

What’s the best concept album for you?

You can’t gridlock there, mate (infosec.pub)
 

I didn’t think three cars is enough to create a gridlock, but what do I know. Yesterday three very ‘creative’ drivers managed just that right in front of me.

I wish I had a picture to share as it was that special. I don’t, so here is a schematic for your enjoyment, horror, disgust, or perhaps lols as the younglings like to say these days.

“Oh William, you are so funny!” “Darling, do have another piece of cheese.” “Don’t lick the fucking camera lens.”

How can anybody be so far up their arse to think it’s a good idea to push this nonsense out.

No Grenfell Tower fire charges until end of 2026, police say (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

I understand the need to investigate this thoroughly. I also appreciate that there are a lot of cheats and liars to shift through in this particular cluster fuck. Still, ten years to investigate is a lot of time.

The Government must ensure that this process is followed to the rightful conclusion. We need to see a bunch of people behind bars for their contribution to the 72 deaths.
