Storm Darragh took our power out for a week or so, and towards the end we had to top our batteries up with a genny, as the solar wasn’t quite cutting it with the lack of sun and bad weather. Not too bad though, there’s about 10 of us using the power, though we live a fairly low-impact life
Didn’t really like being called diddy… but I take your point! It was definitely acid, they were just unbelievably strong. Someone did it to a whole damn wedding reception, it was chaos. They were 450mic tabs, and without any warning/disclaimer, it was carnage. I had fun, but a lot of people didn’t have the experience to cope so well. Made me a lot more conscious about asking what things are before eating/sharing them!
If you properly job yourself (say someone leaves a bottle of cider lying around with about 50 drops in, and no label, and you chug it happily thinking it’s just cider), you trip for days. Like four. Either you sleep, or you go mad. Waking up on day three to everything still being trippy is a bastard. That said, I’ve had single tabs that lasted more than 30 hours, maybe you’re doing weak, kiddy acid and need to up your game
It’s quite the surprise, isn’t it? It’s one thing to go to bed tripping and wake up with it still happening, which is still quite an experience, but it’s a real head-scratcher to wake up to a world that’s just decided not to work like it did yesterday, with no warning or apparent reason.
I listen to Radio Fip from France, that’s pretty fantastic
It’s really, really hard to get a licence to broadcast in the uk, so there’s really very few radio stations that reflect modern music tastes outside of large city centres
Chips always lie
That’s a great read, thanks. I’ve seen a lot of gloomy nonsense from the right wing press, so it’s good to get a decent report of actual progress
They’re not poor people, they’re immigrants and all that entails. When I worked in the can in Calais, the fast would turn up and start fights and abuse people, and the police just watched. It’s not a great environment round there
Disappointing image, no standard scale reference
Not even a little Nazi gold tax?
I think I was specifically thinking if Rivian, with their monocoque built in such a way that if you sent the wing, the whole shell is pretty much a write-off, but what you say is irritatingly true.
Yeah, I really enjoy Mastodon, this news sucks. Got any recommendations on what I might replace it with for iOS?
As someone who lives in the countryside, and drives a small old truck for necessity, these people are a pain in the ass, and make everything worse for people like me. The trend for making trucks bigger, less easily repairable, with fancier interiors and plastic everywhere is driven by this idiotic posturing, not by the average person who actually uses them as the tool they’re supposed to be
Glad they’re really getting their teeth in to the important issues of the day
Mario did it, it’s easy to confuse them
There doesn’t seem to be any hinderance to the large developers that bang up low-quality estates by the hundred…
Not really, the thing that stabilises house prices more than continual building is increasing community/council housing. If that is available at reasonable rent at a decent scale, it curbs rent prices in the surrounding area, and takes house prices back down with it, as the only people able to afford houses at the moment are those wealthy enough to see them as investments, not homes
Hardly a joke considering that they have a population of 1.4m. That’s a medium-sized city…
