Yeah, that’s pretty much my attitude. Why am I worrying about a watt here and a watt there when muppets are constantly asking LLMs inane questions and getting them to make dodgy hentai.

I have a whole bunch plugged in constantly for various synth nonsense. Running off solar, I thought it would be worth seeing how much of a difference it makes turning everything off at night, and basically it wasn’t worth the effort. It’s like a percentage point on top of the things like my fridge that run constantly, and is way less than using my toaster once a week. That said, if you’re on mains, it’s probably a worthy consideration if a lot of people were to do it, but it’s also probably comparable to using ChatGPT once a day or something

Fantastic, thanks, that’s a good resource even if they don’t have the specific ones I’m after

I should have specified, shouldn’t I? Auto/commercial/plant. I seem to only buy gear that doesn’t have readily-available workshop manuals

No, fuck off, how very dare you suggest such a thing you horrid bastard you, just you wait, I’m going to punch you in the elbow and knock over your second-favourite house plant for insinuating such lies

This is your chance America. Change the locks while he’s away, and pretend not to be in when he wants to come back in

Before “blowing up” meant trending on Xitter

I’m in my 40s, work a low-risk job, live in a low-risk area, have 12+ years no claims, a clean license. Ignoring the points at which everyone’s insurance gets cheaper as they age, my premiums has gone up constantly. Coincidentally, so have insurance underwriter’s profits. I definitely could have got cheaper insurance if I’d have compromised on cover, or gone with a worse-rated provider, but that’s not my point. The base cost of insurance is set by the underwriters, and that has increased year on year for just about everyone

Are they hell. Has anyone, ever, known their insurance premium to go down? It’s a racket. If they 20 limits are cutting costs, that cost is being turned into further profit, not savings for the customer

P.I.C.N.I.C.

It forgot “carry on with the shooting of morally bankrupt CEOs”, but I suppose you can’t blame it for not being bang up to date

A penny pillaged is a penny earned

That figure’s come down significantly since the age of vikings though

And I’ll be fucked if I can get them right first time round half the time!

Now that is a silly hat
