This is as late as I can stand. I'll check back in the morning for the final scores. If it was anything resembling a closer election I might have stayed up. I'm hoping the exit poll has over estimated the tories and reform, with a few extra opposition parties.
I'm watching the BBC program, currently just discussing the exit poll before any official results.
Exit poll shows conservatives losing 241 seats, Labour landslide predicted with 410 seats. Not a huge surprise, but a welcome start.
I did find it entertaining that the labour guest in the show is congratulating Kier Starmer and Co. On a job well done, when really this is almost entirely caused by Tory self destruction.
Wow. He's got my vote!
Flowering Aglaonema?
I have a dreamcatcher which I thought had a dying leaf or something, but it looks like this could be something like seeds!? There is a second pod which isn't open to the left in the picture.
I don't really know what it is but I'm excited about it. My other aglaonema hasn't grown at all in 2 years!
Normally this kind of NIMBYism for turbines is misplaced, but I am inclined to agree here. I don't have time to look into all the arguments, but wanted to at least say this much.
A tradition we continue to this day.
The fact it's a British driver/team and the British GP is this week just adds shit for everyone to stir up. I'm expecting the circus to even more unbearable for the next few weeks.
Loving the fact we have competition at the front though!
I've learned from Lemmy that whenever an author uses a question for a headline the answer is no. I can't remember exactly where or what this was called but it really has changed my scrolling experience.
Is this a concern for the Olympics, or the environment (with a spotlight brought on it due to the Olympics)? Hopefully something is done to correct this for the long term.
It needs help if it's out in the daytime. Thanks for getting it out the road!
This is step 86 in the plan. Step 87 is make people pay for the previously free service
I wouldn't necessarily blame the farmer for the situation they find themselves in. Any kind of land or farming reform needs to come from government.
Hydrogen gets shit on loads, but this is exactly the kind of thing it can do pretty well. When you have excess, you don't need to have to worry about efficiency in the same way. Then it's ready to go once needed.
It's actually not a terrible assumption. If someone was going to live to 1000 years old, they are probably already alive today.
It's possibly more likely we will destroy ourselves in that time frame though... So 50-50, you're either immortal or you aren't.
Le Mans 24
Anyone tuning in at all on the off weekend for F1? It's nice to see some familiar faces in the teams.
Blue Steel Convert
I bought a set of three carbon steel pans, and they are amazing. Is this allowed here? They are 99% iron I think.
They are lighter than a full iron pan but you still season them in the same way.
I have had an iron pan dedicated to meat cooking for a few years now, but I'm not sure it will get much use now.
These are new pans, so I'll have to see how they last, but I'm very optimistic.
Fast food should be expensive.
I get that until recently it was considered normal and relatively cheap, but you are literally paying someone else to make food for you.
It can't be sustainable without exploitation of workers and/or animal welfare to have that available to the majority of people on a regular basis.
If you can only afford fast food as a luxury, to me that seems like a good thing.
Anyone else think this was Graham Norton?
CNN — As the National Book Awards came to a close on Wednesday, finalists for the prestigious literary prizes took the stage in New York to speak about the Israel-Hamas war, with others at the ceremony also choosing to address banned books.
As a non USA resident, I didn't know who this was. Before I read the post that was the name I had in my head.
Seems legit, Google knows what is best for me.
Sorry for the poor quality / lack of screenshot, this is from my work computer which I isolate from my personal devices, so I just took a picture.
India GP Track Approval
I heard on the Sunday broadcast for the San Marino GP that it isn't confirmed yet if the India GP will go ahead.
The riders still need to test the circuit and give a verdict.
I think that's insane. Just wondering if anyone else knows any more about this?
External Links
I know this isn't to everyone's taste, but a lot of linked articles are posted with headlines, and no text body. I find it hard to engage with the community like this.
I can't view motorsports articles unless I accept all the cookies and sign up - which I have no intention of doing. Same for twitter and other places.
Can we try to include a transcript of tldr bot in some way?
Pecco relativley ok... might not be as bad as we first feared.
Dr. Angel Charte, MotoGP™ Medical Director, spoke to DAZN regarding the condition of the World Champion following his Catalan GP crash
Help wanted: Is this OK?
I was given a Montsera(?) cutting and I don't really know if this leaf is too wrinkled? It's a minefield trying to read about and understand if I have over or under watered. I just don't know what this plant actually wants.
My usual approach is to assume I have over watered if a plant looks unhappy, but I don't know if these bounce back after a period of under watering, if I hold back on watering more now.
Hiding posts?
I might have missed it somewhere, but is it possible to hide posts here. I like to hide popular posts once I am done seeing or engaging with them.
With the lower traffic here, I think this would especially help with finding new content.
