I don't have kids but I've seen the prices, you can't punish people both ways, Places like centre parcs need to have a ban on price hikes during off-term periods.
Shows how important preservation is. Got to remember that a lot of our media was made in the cheapest way possible esp in the later times.
APE Escape a joke to you sony?
We both wrote one-liners, look up my post and comment history to see how I feel about Reddit recently :D.
I'm all up for discussion. My point is however a fact they committed to the 2030 EV deadline and are now reversing their stance on it. So why would we trust them shifting the goalpost 10%. It's on them to prove it I'm not taking a broken word of a corp.
An actual positive is that “Following the announcement on Wednesday, Volvo's shares fell by more than 4% and have declined by 12% over the past six months.” which shows the money didn't like it, and they made a mistake. “Its total electrified share, including EVs and plug-in hybrids, accounted for 48% in the second quarter of this year.” Again another positive but further adding to the fact they can't be trusted because they're obviously putting things ahead of this 2030 goal.
The main issue here is that no one really wants to put in for charging inferstructure.
""Jim Rowan, Volvo’s chief executive, on Wednesday blamed changing market conditions and consumer worries over the lack of charging infrastructure for its revised target.
“We will be ready to go fully electric this decade, but if the market, infrastructure and customer acceptance are not quite there, we can allow that to take a few more years,” Rowan said as he showcased Volvo’s new electric and plug-in hybrid flagship sport utility vehicles.""

Why do we care what Bethesda thinks of WADS
I had no intention of playing it, but I have been known to love a crappy masterpiece.
Randomly made a little post on Reddit that cloned one I made on lemmy, and it really showed the difference in user. I brought a screen protector and mentioned it didn't have glue and got a comment from each platform regarding the same issue that really made me realise the difference in communities and how tired I've become of the whole "well ackually" mentality of Reddit.
Lemmy comment, just asking a question and provides a solution trying to help: "Is it perhaps static cling, or do you have to apply with a water/soap solution?"
Reddit comment just randomly guessing and making out I'm a moron who doesn't know how screen protectors work despite me saying in the description I'd done so, got 14 upvotes on a 20 upvoted post, so this is basically the vibe of that sub I guess.
"I'm inclined to believe that you didn't peel the right side. "
This is my rant for the evening, think I'll go back to not bothering with Reddit any more, maybe I am stupid :D.
The biggest issue with this frame was a dent on the lower tube, I didn't have any decent blocks of wood to make a frame roller, so the wife and I spent yesterday making them as a 3d print.
While it didn't completely remove the dent, it did help make it smaller.
Before
After: the paint wearing was from sanding down ready for painting not the blocks
Sanded the frame back and treated the rust not a huge amount the worst part was the fender bracket. Currently waiting for the krust to do it's thing before giving it an acf50 paint
Transport secretary says government’s strategy for active travel could cut GP appointments by millions
The used steel frame I recently brought has arrived, a bit of rust here and there are some scuffs and such, but I plan to sand it back and respray, so these aren't issues. Threads look good all round.
Going to have to put together the parts I have and slowly buy the ones I need.
Going to be a fun project for sure.
Benefit of going slow enough to notice things
A number of high-profile Conservative and Labour MPs have lost their seats as Rishi Sunak conceded that his party had been defeated in the general election and Sir Keir Starmer declared a historic victory.
Conservatives Liz Truss Seat: South West Norfolk Lost to: Labour
Truss served as UK prime minister for 49 days in 2022 and was previously foreign secretary and trade secretary. She was forced out of office after her government’s “mini” Budget spooked financial markets and triggered a crisis in the pensions sector. First elected to parliament in 2010, Truss becomes the first former premier for almost 90 years to lose their seat in a general election.
Penny Mordaunt Seat: Portsmouth North Lost to: Labour
A former Royal Navy reservist, the House of Commons leader ran in the 2022 Tory leadership contest as a moderate and had been tipped as a future contender to lead the party if she held on to her seat. Her sword-bearing role at King Charles’s coronation raised her national profile, but she lost to Labour by about 780 votes.
Penny Mordaunt © Ben Stevens/Shutterstock Alex Chalk Seat: Cheltenham Lost to: Liberal Democrats
A respected legal advocate, the ousted justice secretary is expected to return to practice at chambers 6KBW College Hill. Chalk had the tough task of managing a government department with an unprotected budget as it reeled from severe cuts. But he helped push through legislation to exonerate sub-postmasters caught up in the Horizon scandal.
Gillian Keegan Seat: Chichester Lost to: Liberal Democrats
The education secretary lost out in a three-way battle for the seat she first won in 2017. Keegan faced the unenviable job of closing more than 100 schools during her tenure over the use of unsafe concrete in their construction and was captured on a microphone complaining she received no praise for doing a “fucking good job”.
Grant Shapps Seat: Welwyn Hatfield Lost to: Labour
A veteran cabinet minister, Shapps was frequently turned to as a “safe pair of hands” by Sunak. A strong media performer and “attack dog” for the Conservative government, he rose to prominence in 2012 after it emerged he operated a business while an MP under the pseudonym Michael Green.

A prominent Brexiter, Rees-Mogg entered parliament in 2010. He served in the governments of Truss and Boris Johnson, holding positions including business secretary and Brexit opportunities minister. The social conservative repeatedly urged his party to enter a pact with Reform UK in this year’s general election.
Sir Liam Fox Seat: North Somerset Lost to: Labour
Having served in cabinet, Fox fell from grace under prime minister Boris Johnson and sat on the backbenches for the duration of the last parliament. He was embroiled in the expenses scandal in 2009 and stood down from his role as defence secretary after he allowed a close friend and lobbyist into confidential meetings.
Mark Harper Seat: Forest of Dean Lost to: Labour
A reliable figure for Sunak during his time in government, the former transport secretary was one of the few MPs not to be caught up in the expenses scandal. He resigned as immigration minister in 2014 after he discovered his cleaner was in the UK without proper documentation. This paved the way for his return to government less than six months later.
Michelle Donelan Seat: Melksham and Devizes Lost to: Liberal Democrats
Donelan decided to become a politician aged six. The former science minister was a strong proponent of a “culture war” strategy in government. Having served for nearly a decade, she gained attention when taxpayers footed her £15,000 legal bill after she falsely accused an academic of supporting or sympathising with Hamas.
Labour Jonathan Ashworth Seat: Leicester South Lost to: Independent
Ashworth was shadow paymaster-general on Starmer’s opposition front bench. First elected to parliament in 2011, he served as shadow health secretary during the pandemic and was regarded as a strong media performer. But he was pushed into second place in his constituency by an independent candidate running on a pro-Palestinian ticket.
Thangam Debbonaire Seat: Bristol Central Lost to: Greens
The shadow culture secretary had represented the now-reshaped seat of Bristol West since 2015 after ousting the Liberal Democrats. But on Thursday she lost to Carla Denyer, co-leader of the Green party. Previously shadow housing secretary and shadow Commons leader, Debbonaire is a former professional cellist and had been backed by figures in the arts world.
